/*
 * UBF_TIMER and ubf_list both use SIGVTALRM.
 *
 * UBF_TIMER has NOTHING to do with thread timeslices (TIMER_INTERRUPT_MASK)
 *
 * UBF_TIMER is to close TOCTTOU signal race on programs where we
 * cannot rely on GVL contention (vm->gvl.timer) to perform wakeups
 * while a thread is doing blocking I/O on sockets or pipes.  With
 * rb_thread_call_without_gvl and similar functions:
 *
 * (1) Check interrupts.
 * (2) release GVL.
 * (2a) signal received
 * (3) call func with data1 (blocks for a long time without ubf_timer)
 * (4) acquire GVL.
 *     Other Ruby threads can not run in parallel any more.
 * (5) Check interrupts.
 *
 * We need UBF_TIMER to break out of (3) if (2a) happens.
 *
 * ubf_list wakeups may be triggered on gvl_yield.
 *
 * If we have vm->gvl.timer (on GVL contention), we don't need UBF_TIMER
 * as it can perform the same tasks while doing timeslices.
