I'd suggest to simply read the kernel code once and memorise it, after
that you will not need to use grep.

I'll assume that both signals were blocked before syscall and temporary
unblocked by pselect.
Quite contrary, they both will be delivered exactly because original mask
won't be restored until the 1st handler returns.
Unless, of course, the sigaction->sa_mask of the 1st signal blocks another
one.
Didn't I say you do not read my emails? I have already explained this to
you in this thread ;)
