[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 13/19] linux-user: pause() should not pause if signal pending

[Peter Maydell]

From: Timothy E Baldwin <address@hidden>

Fix races between signal handling and the pause syscall by
reimplementing it using block_signals() and sigsuspend().
(Using safe_syscall(pause) would also work, except that the
pause syscall doesn't exist on all architectures.)
