Is there no way to get a signal delivered to only one thread, instead
of trying to broadcast all threads?
Playing with the blocked mask has a performance disadvantage: the
kernel will iterate through all threads of the thread-group to find
the single one that 'can' receive the SIGALRM. This will be a real
scalability issue with 64 or more vcpus.
Thanks,
Ingo
