PCATCH means 'if we get a signal, interrupt me!" and tsleep returns either EINTR or ERESTART depending on the circumstances. ERESTART is "special" because it causes the system call to fail, but right as it returns back to userland it tells the trap handler to move %eip back a bit so that userland will immediately re-run the syscall. This is a syscall restart. It only works for things like read() etc where nothing has changed yet. Note that *userland* is tricked into restarting the syscall by the kernel. The kernel doesn't actually do the restart. It is deadly for things like select, poll, nanosleep etc where it might cause the elapsed time to be reset and start again from scratch. So those syscalls do this to prevent userland rerunning the syscall: if (error == ERESTART) error = EINTR; Fake "signals" like SIGTSTP from ^Z etc do not normally invoke userland signal handlers. But, in -current, the PCATCH *is* being triggered and tsleep is returning ERESTART, and the syscall is aborted even though no userland signal handler was run. That is the fault here. We're triggering the PCATCH in cases that we shouldn't. ie: it is being triggered on *any* signal processing, rather than the case where the signal is posted to userland. --- Peter The work of psignal() is a patchwork of special case required by the process debugging and job-control facilities... --- Kirk McKusick "The design and impelementation of the 4.4BSD Operating system" Page 105 in STABLE source, when psignal is posting a STOP signal to sleeping process and the signal action of the process is SIG_DFL, system will directly change the process state from SSLEEP to SSTOP, and when SIGCONT is posted to the stopped process, if it finds that the process is still on sleep queue, the process state will be restored to SSLEEP, and won't wakeup the process. this commit mimics the behaviour in STABLE source tree.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
