+ *
+ * Test describing a clear distinction between signal states - delivered and
+ * blocked, and their relation with ucontext.
+ *
+ * A process can request blocking of a signal by masking it into its set of
+ * blocked signals; such a signal, when sent to the process by the kernel,
+ * will get blocked by the process and it may later unblock it and take an
+ * action. At that point, the signal will be delivered.
+ *
+ * We test the following functionalities of the kernel:
+ *
+ * ucontext_t describes the interrupted context of the thread; this implies
+ * that, in case of registering a handler and catching the corresponding
+ * signal, that state is before what was jumping into the handler.
+ *
+ * The thread's mask of blocked signals can be permanently changed, i.e, not
+ * just during the execution of the handler, by mangling with uc_sigmask
+ * from inside the handler.
+ *
+ * Assume that we block the set of signals, S1, by sigaction(), and say, the
+ * signal for which the handler was installed, is S2. When S2 is sent to the
+ * program, it will be considered "delivered", since we will act on the
+ * signal and jump to the handler. Any instances of S1 or S2 raised, while the
+ * program is executing inside the handler, will be blocked; they will be
+ * delivered immediately upon termination of the handler.
+ *
+ * For standard signals (also see real-time signals in the man page), multiple
+ * blocked instances of the same signal are not queued; such a signal will
+ * be delivered just once.
