>Description:
The list of functions required by POSIX.1-2024 to be async-signal-safe is here:

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/V2_chap02.html#tag_16_04_03

We should review the list of functions in the sigaction(2) man page to make sure there's nothing missing (https://man.NetBSD.org/sigaction.2), and audit them to make sure they are async-signal-safe.

We can, of course, add our own functions to the list if we want to provide stronger guarantees than POSIX does.
>How-To-Repeat:
standards inspection

Yes, please!
