From eb72efd81e0d5be6c836c5a084cc65b9734f544d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Braun Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:33:10 +0100 Subject: libc: fix signal handling in system() When built without NPTL support (or for a sparc target), the system() function doesn't conform to its specification. Namely, it uses signal() to install/save/restore signal handlers, which may break applications using custom handlers installed with sigaction(). In addition, it resets the SIGCHLD handler to SIG_DFL instead of blocking the signal, which may result in "lost" signals if a custom handler was installed. Fix system() by replacing uses of signal() with appropriate calls to sigaction() and sigprocmask().
