[issue8407] expose signalfd(2) and sigprocmask(2) in the signal module

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

I'm with Martin, better to target 3.2 IMO.
Does signalfd really bring something compared to set_wakeup_fd()?
The one big difference I can see is that set_wakeup_fd() doesn't transmit the signal number, but this could be fixed if desired (instead of sending '\0', send a byte containing the signal number).
