hello, 

at [1], I read something about 'Sigtramp separation' within 
the W^X transition.   I only know that this sigtramp-page (?) is 
used to jump back into the kernel when a signal arrives.  

My question is, what exactly is this signal trampoline?  

Why do I need it?  

Why was it on the Stack (first page of the virtual memory)?  

And why must it be executable /  what does the code?  

Thank you for your help.
