The following interfaces are never restarted after being interrupted by a
signal handler, regardless of the use of SA_RESTART; they always fail with
the error EINTR when interrupted by a signal handler:

What follows is a list of system calls including "File descriptor
multiplexing interfaces" and "System V IPC interfaces" (and inotify before
Linux 3.8, which is how I found out in the first place: see #9782
#9782).

The standard library should be checked for use of these system calls and,
where required, keep EINTR in mind.

/cc @ianlancetaylor for thoughts.

My only thought is that the last time I looked at this they were all handled correctly. I have no objection to somebody else checking.

Unless you know of a specific problem, I don't see any work here.
