Educational use.

FWIW, my reading of POSIX.1 says "Per process mask, per threads
masks".

The real question is "What happens when I kill -9/-15 a libthr
process with a lot of threads?".

Yeah, the KSE people are sorting out signals, too, but they were
quite upset with the change, from their perspective, to the KSE
kernel API semantics.  Maybe they just felt rushed?  Dunno...
which is why I asked for an ETA: I think you should be talking
to them.
