// Work around for a bug in old kernels (only fixed in 3.18 Android kernel):
//
// Kernel does not clear If-Then execution state bits when entering ARM signal
// handler which violates requirements imposed by ARM architecture reference.
// Some CPUs look at these bits even while in ARM mode which causes them
// to skip some instructions in the prologue of the signal handler.
//
// To work around the issue we insert enough NOPs in the prologue to ensure
// that no actual instructions are skipped and then branch to the actual
// signal handler.
//
// For the kernel patch that fixes the issue see:
// http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=6ecf830e5029598732e04067e325d946097519cb

// Note: can't use DART_* defines here because this file does not include
// globals.h.
