Subject: fix race condition in raise - just mask signals
X-Git-Tag: v0.7.0~26
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0bed7e0acfd34e3fb63ca0e4d99b7592571355a9;p=oweals%2Fmusl.git

fix race condition in raise - just mask signals

a signal handler could fork after the pid/tid were read, causing the
wrong process to be signalled. i'm not sure if this is supposed to
have UB or not, but raise is async-signal-safe, so it probably is
allowed. the current solution is slightly expensive so this
implementation is likely to be changed in the future.
