  // SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK, SIG_SETMASK.

  // This strategy depends on Linux implementation details,

  // - msync() doesn't reject PROT_NONE regions
  // - write() on /dev/null doesn't return EFAULT
  // - write() on a pipe requires creating it and draining the writes
  // - connect() works but is problematic for sandboxes and needs a valid
  //   file descriptor
  //
  // This can never succeed (invalid first argument to sigprocmask).
