And you interpret this as if a pending signal should be delivered in any case,
even if pselect succeeds. Again, perhaps you are right, but to me this is simply
undocumented.
However, linux never did this. Until the commit 854a6ed56839 ("signal: Add
restore_user_sigmask()"). This commit caused regression. We had to revert it.

Agreed.
