/* sigHandle -- protection signal handler
 *
 * This is the signal handler installed by ProtSetup to deal with
 * protection faults. It is installed on the signal given by the
 * PROT_SIGNAL macro (that is, SIGSEGV). It constructs a mutator
 * context based on the signal context, and passes it to ArenaAccess,
 * which attempts to handle the fault and remove its cause. If the
 * fault is handled, then the handler returns and execution resumes.
 * If it isn't handled, then sigHandle does its best to pass the
 * signal on to the previously installed signal handler (sigNext);
 * which it does by signalling itself using kill(2).
 *
 * .sigh.args: We set the SA_SIGINFO flag in the sa_flags field of the
 * sigaction structure, and so the signal handler in the sa_sigaction
 * field receives three arguments: signal number, pointer to signal
 * info structure, pointer to signal context structure.
 *
 * .sigh.check: We check that info->si_code is SEGV_ACCERR (meaning
 * "Invalid permissions for mapped object").
 *
 * .sign.addr: If so, we assume info->si_addr is the fault address.
 *
 * .sigh.mode: The fault type (read/write) does not appear to be
 * available to the signal handler (see mail archive).

 *
 *  Under Unix, the global setup involves installing a signal handler
 *  on PROT_SIGNAL to catch and handle page faults (see sigHandle).
 *  The previous handler is recorded so that it can be reached from
 *  sigHandle if it fails to handle the fault.
 *
 *  NOTE: There are problems with this approach:
 *    1. we can't honor the sa_flags for the previous handler,
 *    2. what if this thread is suspended just after calling signal(3)?
 *       The sigNext variable will never be initialized!
