    debug/tst-longjmp_chk2: Make signal handler more conservative [BZ #20248]
    
    Currently, printf needs more stack space than what is available with
    SIGSTKSZ.  This commit use the the write system call directly instead.
    
    Also use sig_atomic_t for the “pass” variable (for general
    correctness), and restore signal handlers to their defaults, to avoid
    masking crashes.

    tst-longjmp_chk2: add comments/sanity check
    
    If the longjmp checking code is slightly broken, this code can loop
    forever which isn't too helpful.  Add a sanity check to keep that
    from happening.
