So I dug just to see what I could see. I turns out that real_blocked and saved_sigmask were different implementations of the same idea for slightly different purposes. Which means we only need either real_blocked or saved_sigmask. I chose real_blocked as it has just a little bit of code associated with it to disable optimizations on the signal sending path that do not apply to blocked signals. I did a little bit of cleanup of the users. Modified the core to keep real_blocked in sync with blocked except while a clever system call that like pselect or sigtimedwait is running. After the dust cleared this allowed restore_sigmask and all of the logic to keep it valid to be removed entirely. I have only done the most cursory of testing at this point. Does anyone have any thoughts in cleaning up the code in this direction? Eric W.
