SA_ONSTACK
Use an alternative stack for the signal handler (see the later section "Catching the Signal“)
SA_RESTART
Interrupted system calls are automatically restarted (see the later section "Reexecution of System Calls“)
SA_NODEFER, SA_NOMASK
Do not mask the signal while executing the signal handler
SA_RESETHAND,
SA_ONESHOT
Reset to default action after executing the signal handler
The pending signal queues
As we have seen in Table 11-2 earlier in the chapter, there are several system calls that can generate a signal: some of them — kill( ) and rt_sigqueueinfo( ) — send a signal to a whole thread group, while others — tkill( ) and tgkill( ) — send a signal to a specific process.
Thus, in order to keep track of what signals are currently pending, the kernel associates two pending signal queues to each process:
The shared pending signal queue, rooted at the shared_pending field of the signal descriptor, stores the pending signals of the whole thread group.
The private pending signal queue, rooted at the pending field of the process descriptor, stores the pending signals of the specific (lightweight) process.
