Refer to issue #8867 for details and rational.
Convert sigset_t to an array type so that more than 32 signals can be supported.
Why not use a uin64_t?
- Using a uin32_t is more flexible if we decide to increase the number of signals beyound 64.
- 64-bit accesses are not atomic, at least not on 32-bit ARMv7-M and similar
- Keeping the base type as uint32_t does not introduce additional overhead due to padding to achieve 64-bit alignment of uin64_t
- Some architectures still supported by NuttX do not support uin64_t
types,
Increased the number of signals to 64. This matches Linux. This will support all xsignals defined by Linux and also 32 real time signals (also like Linux).
This is is a work in progress; a draft PR that you are encouraged to comment on.
