[PATCH v2 2/2] signal.7: Fix wrong mention of sigprocmask

From: Dev Jain
Date: Tue Jun 11 2024 - 05:09:27 EST


The handler is registered with sigaction(), not sigprocmask(). Even if the
purpose of writing sigprocmask() here was to mention blocked signals, the
statement currently concerns the "addition" of blocked signals; signals
blocked through sigprocmask() would already be present in the thread
context of blocked signals.

Fixes: e7a5700 (getcontext.3, signal.7: tfix)
