+Subject: [PATCH] Disable signalfd by default
+
+signalfd may behave differently to sigaction/signal, so to avoid
+breaking libevent users (like [1], [2]) disable it by default.
+
+ [1]: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/pull/3621
+ [2]: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/pull/3626
+
+Also signalfd is not that perfect:
+- you need to SIG_BLOCK the signal before
+ - blocked signals are not reset on exec
+ - blocked signals are allowed to coalesce - so in case of multiple
+ signals sent you may get the signal only once (ok for most of the
+ signals, but may be a problem for SIGCHLD, though you may call
+ waitpid() in a loop or use pidfd)
+- and also one implementation problem -
+ sigprocmask is unspecified in a multithreaded process
