while in kernel mode, and later changing signal mask to block the
signal, was fixed for sigprocmask(2) and ptread_exit(3). The same race
exists for sigreturn(2), setcontext(2) and swapcontext(2) syscalls.
Use kern_sigprocmask() instead of direct manipulation of td_sigmask to
reschedule newly blocked signals, closing the race.

Save segment registers in trap handlers before interrupts are enabled,
to not allow context switches to happen before registers are saved.
Use separated byte in pcb for indication of fast/full return, since
pcb_flags are not synchronized with context switches.
The change puts back syscall microbenchmark numbers that were slowed
down after commit of the support for LDT on amd64.

Rename struct thread's td_sticks to td_pticks, we will need the
other name for more appropriately named use shortly. Reduce it

td->pticks in userret() and eliminate third argument.
changes in MD code are trivial, before this change, trapsignal and
sendsig use discrete parameters, now they uses member fields of
ksiginfo_t structure. For sendsig, this change allows us to pass
POSIX realtime signal value to user code.
2. Remove cpu_thread_siginfo, it is no longer needed because we now always
generate ksiginfo_t data and feed it to libpthread.
3. Add p_sigqueue to proc structure to hold shared signals which were
blocked by all threads in the proc.
4. Add td_sigqueue to thread structure to hold all signals delivered to
thread.
5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will
be fixed.
6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.
