Fixing a bug and performance issue.
Problem: we are using sigsetjmp but with a jmp_buf structure; it requires sigjmp_buf! Performance issue: sigsetjmp is a dog which makes system calls. Solution: let's roll our own cached version of sigprocmask which only calls the real sigprocmask when the mask changes. Then our extended_setjmp will just use regular setjmp, plus our own custom signal saving and restoring based on the cached version. * signal.c (sig_blocked_cache): New variable. (set_sig_handler): Use our sig_mask instead of sigprocmask. (mem_set_bits, mem_clr_bits): New static functions. (sig_mask): New function. * signal.h (extended_jmp_buf): New member, blocked. (extended_setjmp): save blocked signals by peeking into sig_blocked_cache, and restore using sig_mask. (sig_blocked_cache, sig_mask): Declared.
