When a signal is being delivered to process, first find a sigwait
thread to deliver, POSIX's argument is speed of delivering signal
to sigwait thread is faster than other ways. A signal in its wait
set will cause sigwait to return the signal number, a signal not
in its wait set but in not blocked by the thread also causes sigwait
to return, but sigwait returns EINTR, sigwait is oneshot operation,
only one signal can be delivered to its wait set, when a signal is
delivered to the sigwait thread, the thread's sigwait state is canceled.
be delivered to that thread, regardless of whether it
has it masked or not.
Previously, if the targeted thread had the signal masked,
it would be put on the processes' siglist. If
another thread has the signal umasked or unmasks it before
the target, then the thread it was intended for would never
receive it.
This patch attempts to solve the problem by requiring callers
of tdsignal() to say whether the signal is for the thread or
for the process. If it is for the process, then normal processing
occurs and any thread that has it unmasked can receive it.
But if it is destined for a specific thread, it is put on
that thread's pending list regardless of whether it is currently
masked or not.
The new behaviour still needs more work, though. If the signal
is reposted for some reason it is always posted back to the
thread that handled it because the information regarding the
target of the signal has been lost by then.

PT_DETACH ptrace(2) requests from functioning as advertised in the
manual page. As described in kern/35175, the PT_DETACH request will,
under certain circumstances, pass an unwanted signal on to the traced

sometimes fail if you make it pass a signal that has "properties" that
differ from the properties of the signal that origionally caused the
traced process to be stopped. Since PT_KILL is nothing than
PT_CONTINUE with SIGKILL, it is broken too. In the PT_KILL case, this
leads to an unkillable process.

- Move struct sigacts out of the u-area and malloc() it using the
M_SUBPROC malloc bucket.
- Add a small sigacts_*() API for managing sigacts structures: sigacts_alloc(),
sigacts_free(), sigacts_copy(), sigacts_share(), and sigacts_shared().
- Remove the p_sigignore, p_sigacts, and p_sigcatch macros.
- Add a mutex to struct sigacts that protects all the members of the struct.
- Add sigacts locking.
- Remove Giant from nosys(), kill(), killpg(), and kern_sigaction() now
that sigacts is locked.
- Several in-kernel functions such as psignal(), tdsignal(), trapsignal(),
and thread_stopped() are now MP safe.
