LaunchDoesntCodeandClaude Opus 5.5 1bc029da6d fix(libkernel): leave a blocked SIGALRM expiry pending
An ITIMER_REAL or alarm expiry while SIGALRM is blocked is marked on the
pending set of sigtimedwait instead of throwing, as kern_psignal leaves a
blocked signal pending. sigwait, sigwaitinfo and sigtimedwait take it,
repeated expiries merge into one pending signal, and unblocking it runs a
guest handler on the unblocking thread or, with the default disposition,
exits the process with status 142 as FreeBSD's default action does.

The expiry rechecks the mask after marking the signal, so an unblock that
races it does not leave SIGALRM pending while unblocked, and TakePending
clears the bit with the value it read so one signal is taken once.

Yossi Yadgar 5e1ffc29ae fix(libkernel): report the setitimer interval from getitimer
getitimer on main predates setitimer and always reported a zero it_interval, so a periodic ITIMER_REAL armed by setitimer read back as one-shot.

screammandClaude Fable 5.1 5471844c5d feat(libkernel): add setitimer on the alarm timer
PS5MC (PPSA99420) imports setitimer (hPWDGx8ioXQ, aerolib) at registry
index 472, after tcsetpgrp and before getitimer. Predicted stop:
"FAIL: unresolved ELF import hPWDGx8ioXQ from libkernel.prx".

setitimer follows FreeBSD 11.4 kern_time.c (8c639945) sys_setitimer and
kern_setitimer: EINVAL for an unknown timer and for an itimerfix failure
or more than INT32_MAX / 2 seconds; a zero value clears the interval and
disarms; a null value reads the timer, EFAULT when the output is null too.
ITIMER_REAL shares the alarm state, now with an interval that re-arms it
as realitexpire does; alarm clears it, as FreeBSD's alarm.c does.

Guest SIGALRM handlers are not run, so an expiry with a handler, or with
SIGALRM blocked (signals are never left pending), throws naming the
interval; SIG_IGN drops it and the default disposition exits with 142,
as alarm already did. Intervals below 1 ms throw (itimerfix rounds them
to tick / 16 and the console's hz is unknown). ITIMER_VIRTUAL and
ITIMER_PROF throw when armed and read and disarm as zero.
