+ * Strictly speaking, we donot need to take the siglock if we are current and

+ * else can  reap the  children to update signal->c* counters, and no one else
+ * can race with the signal-> fields. If we do not take any lock, the
+ * signal-> fields could be read out of order while another thread was just
+ * exiting. So we should  place a read memory barrier when we avoid the lock.
+ * On the writer side,  write memory barrier is implied in  __exit_signal
+ * as __exit_signal releases  the siglock spinlock after updating the signal->
+ * fields. But we don't do this yet to keep things simple.
