Description

If an app sigsuspend unblocks some signal that was pending in DR, we should not let the sigsuspend execute and return it immediately with an EINTR.

Research direction

Start by tracing DynamoRIO's sigsuspend handling and its pending-signal state for the Linux signal path. Reproduce the case where sigsuspend unblocks a signal already pending in DR, then verify that the call does not return immediately with EINTR.
