GNU libsigsegv allows handling memory page faults in user mode.
This is useful for implementing pageable virtual memory, memory-mapped
access to persistent databases, generational garbage collectors,
stack overflow handlers, distributed shared memory, and so on.

New in 2.10:

* Support for Linux/S390.
  <sigsegv.h> now defines a macro SIGSEGV_FAULT_ADDRESS_ALIGNMENT.
  It is either 1 or pagesize. Its meaning is that
    - The fault address passed to a SIGSEGV handler has been rounded down
      to a multiple of SIGSEGV_FAULT_ADDRESS_ALIGNMENT.
    - The address and length arguments of sigsegv_register function calls
      must be multiples of SIGSEGV_FAULT_ADDRESS_ALIGNMENT.
* Faster distinction between stack overflow and other fault on OpenBSD.
