Research direction
Start by reading the linked TODO at kernel-src/sys/signal.c around line 554. The issue gives no behavior requirements or tests for restartable syscalls, so first determine the intended semantics and how signal handling interacts with syscall return paths; done requires implementing and verifying that behavior.
