Hi, I was recently facing the same problem, and my solution
was to extract swapcontext() from libtask - it has better semantic
and does not do sigprocmask. How much you hack sigprocmask,
it is still faster to just not call it at all.
Alternatively, perhaps the speed-up can be achieved if the
current mask is exported to glibc via vdso.
Just my 2 cents.
