b30cd8df7c sigaction(2),sigwait(2),sigwaitinfo(2): Remove [EFAULT] error condition. 
Passing an invalid pointer results in undefined behaviour.

The wrappers in libthr access some of the data pointed to by the arguments
in userland, so that an invalid pointer will cause a signal and not an
[EFAULT] error return.

Furthermore, if the [EFAULT] error occurs when the kernel is writing, it is
not a proper error in the sense that the call still commits (changing the
signal disposition or accepting the signal).

c84cab5626 Update xrefs from 4.3BSD to modern signal functions in various man pages. 
sigvec(2) references have been updated to sigaction(2), sigsetmask(2) and
sigblock(2) to sigprocmask(2), sigpause(2) to sigsuspend(2).

Some legacy man pages still refer to them, that is OK.

8d03319930 Revert r206649. 
Simplify the presented declaration of struct sigaction, noting the
caveat in the text. Real layout of the structure and exposed
implementation namespace only obfuscates the usage.

e31d11c36a Add the 'restrict' type qualifier to the prototypes of `sigaction', 
`sigprocmask', `sigaltstack', and `sigwait' as well as to the

and `sigwaitinfo'.  This complies with IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.
