2b3ccf5f0db7c75ba990da7e6223c3f7319480c0 user: Introduce host_interrupt_signal
Attaching to the gdbstub of a running process requires stopping its
threads. For threads that run on a CPU, cpu_exit() is enough, but the
only way to grab attention of a thread that is stuck in a long-running
syscall is to interrupt it with a signal.
Reserve a host realtime signal for this, just like it's already done
for TARGET_SIGABRT on Linux. This may reduce the number of available
guest realtime signals by one, but this is acceptable, since there are
quite a lot of them, and it's unlikely that there are apps that need
them all.
Set signal_pending for the safe_sycall machinery to prevent invoking
the syscall. This is a lie, since we don't queue a guest signal, but
process_pending_signals() can handle the absence of pending signals.
The syscall returns with QEMU_ERESTARTSYS errno, which arranges for
the automatic restart. This is important, because it helps avoiding
disturbing poorly written guests.
