From 89b9ba661bd2d6155308f895ec075d813f0e129b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Raymond Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 01:20:31 -0400 Subject: Fix signal handling of SIG_IPI when io-thread is enabled Both the signal thread (via sigwait()) and the cpu thread (via a normal signal handler) were attempting to catch SIG_IPI. This resulted in random freezes under Darwin. This patch separates SIG_IPI from the rest of the signals handled by the signal thread, because it is independently caught by the cpu thread.
