Paul Pluzhnikov 84d4150668 Allow caller to block signals.
Greetings,

We use libunwind just for stack traces (I suspect many others do as well).

The use pattern is:

GetStackTrace(void** result, int max_depth)
{
...
  unw_getcontext(&uc);
  unw_init_local(&cursor, &uc);

  while (n < max_depth) {
    if (unw_get_reg(&cursor, UNW_REG_IP, (unw_word_t *) &ip) < 0) {
      break;
    }
    result[n++] = ip;
    if (unw_step(&cursor) <= 0) {
      break;
    }
  }

Given this usage, it is quite convenient for us to block signals (or
prevent signal handlers from re-entering libunwind by other means) at the
"top level", which makes most of the sigprocmask calls performed by
libunwind itself unneccessary.

The second patch in this series adds a configure option which removes most
of the sigprocmask calls.

Attached patch is a preliminary for it -- consolidating all of the
"sigprocmask; mutex_lock;" sequences into lock_acquire and "mutex_unlock;
sigprocmask;" sequences into lock_release.

Thanks,

    Replace "sigprocmask + mutext_lock" with a single lock_acquire.
    Likewise, replace "mutext_unlock + sigprocmask" with lock_release.
