Squashed commit of the following:
Add procfs support to show stopped tasks. Add nxsig_action() to solve a chicken and egg problem: We needed to use sigaction to set default actions, but sigaction() would refuse to set actions if the default actions could not be caught or ignored.
sched/signal: Add configuration option to selectively enabled/disable default signal actions for SIGSTOP/SIGSTP/SIGCONT and SIGKILL/SIGINT. Fix some compilation issues.
sched/sched: Okay.. I figured out a way to handle state changes that may occur while they were stopped. If a task/thread was already blocked when SIGSTOP/SIGSTP was received, it will restart in the running state. I will appear that to the task/thread that the blocked condition was interrupt by a signal and returns the EINTR error.
sched/group and sched/sched: Finish framework for continue/resume logic.
sched/signal: Roughing out basic structure to support task suspend/resume
This is analogous to similar renaming that was done previously for semaphores.
Squashed commit of the following:
sched/signal: Fix a few compile warnings introduced by naming changes.
sched/signal: Rename all private, internal signl functions to use the nxsig_ prefix.
sched/signal: Rename sig_removependingsignal, sig_unmaskpendingsignal, and sig_mqnotempty to nxsig_remove_pendingsignal, nxsig_unmask_pendingsignal, and nxsig_mqnotempty to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_findaction and sig_lowest to nxsig_find_action and nxsig_lowest to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_allocatepingsigaction and sig_deliver to nxsig_alloc_pendingsigaction and nxsig_deliver to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_cleanup, sig_release, sig_releasependingaction, and sig_releasependingsignal to nxsig_cleanup, nxsig_release, nxsig_release_pendingaction, and nxsig_release_pendingsignal to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_tcbdispatch and sig_dispatch to nxsig_tcbdispatch and nxsig_dispatch to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_releaseaction and sig_pendingset to nxsig_release_action and nxsig_pendingset to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
sched/signal: Rename sig_initialize and sig_allocateactionblock to nxsig_initialize and nxsig_alloc_actionblock to make it clear that these are OS internal interfaces.
2. Move list of signal actions from the task TCB to the task group. Signal handlers are a property of the entire task group and not of individual threads in the group. I know, I preferred it the other way too but this is more compliant with POSIX.
