Yes,  I would like to let scheduler install a signal frame,=20
in scheduler,  it might not need to call THR_GETCONTEXT,
just use already existing context, and we might have chance to=20
direct push signal from kernel upcall to thread, I think pthread_sigmask
can do a context switch to let scheduler install a signal frame for it,
these are my random ideas... probably you already have some code for
these ? :-)
