/* Usual spin locks are not allowed for communication between threads and signal
handlers, because the pthread_spin_* functions are not async-safe; see
section 2.4.3 Signal Actions.
This module provides spin locks with a similar API. It can be used like this,
both in regular multithreaded code and in signal handlers:
sigset_t saved_mask;
asyncsafe_spin_lock (&lock, &mask, &saved_mask);
do_something_contentious ();
asyncsafe_spin_unlock (&lock, &saved_mask);
The mask you specify here is the set of signals whose handlers might want to
take the same lock.
asyncsafe_spin_lock/unlock use pthread_sigmask, to ensure that while a thread
is executing such code, no signal handler will start such code for the same
lock *in the same thread* (because if this happened, the signal handler would
hang!). */
