The current Linux signal frame format has XSTATE in uncompacted format, so everything has to be there. Maybe we could have an opt in new signal frame format, but the details would need to be worked out.
It is certainly the case that a signal should be able to be delivered, run “async-signal-safe” code, and return, without corrupting register contents.
