[PATCH] epoll_pwait()
Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism
with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait
is:
int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);
The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait. For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:
