I needed to do apples-to-apples comparison between rtsignals and epoll
for a client, so I fixed rtsig.c from 1.3e (see an earlier post) to
compile, then fixed it to work, and ported that to 1.4.3-stable.

NOTE WELL! Used only for benchmarking: the rtsig_dealloc routine may
not free everything it needs to!

Below are are diffs than can be applied by "patch" to
libevent-1.4.3-stable.tar.gz; then run:
    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --with-rtsig

I also added a command line argument to bench.c to allow me to specify
how many trials are performed.

Many many thanks to Scott Lamb for posting "chartbench.py"
http://monkeymail.org/archives/libevent-users/2007-December/001085.html
and to the authors of libevent for giving me a platform I could
perform the testing on!

+/**
+
+   "RTSIG" is a shorthand for using O_ASYNC to make descriptors send
+   signals when readable/writable and to use POSIX real-time signals
+   witch are queued unlike normal signals.  At first blush this may
+   seem like a alternative to epoll, but a number of problems arise
+   when attempting to build an eventloop entirely out of rtsig.
+   Still, we can use rtsig in combination with poll() to
+   provide an eventloop that allows for many thousands of sockets
+   without huge overheads implicit with using select() or poll()
+   alone.  epoll and kqueue are far superior to rtsig and should be
+   used where available, but rtsig has been in standard Linux kernels
+   for a long time and have a huge installation base.  epoll requires
+   special patches for 2.4 kernels and 2.6 kernels are not yet nearly
+   so ubiquitous.
+
+   rtsig problems:
+    - O_ASYNC mechanisms work only on sockets - not pipes or tty's
+
+    - O_ASYNC signals are edge-triggered, POLLIN on packet arriving
+   or socket close; POLLOUT when a socket transitions from
+   non-writable to writable.  Being edge-triggered means the
+   event-handler callbacks must transition the level ( reading
+   completely the socket buffer contents ) or it will be unable to
+   reliably receive notification again.
+
+   - rtsig implementations must be intimately involved in how a
+   process dispatches signals.
+
+   - delivering signals per-event can be expensive, CPU-wise, but
+     sigtimedwait() blocks on signals only and means non-sockets
+     cannot be serviced.
+
+   Theory of operation:
+    This libevent module uses rtsig to allow us to manage a set of
+    poll-event descriptors.  We can drop uninteresting fd's from the
+    pollset if the fd will send a signal when it becomes interesting
+    again.
+
+    poll() offers us level-triggering and, when we have verified the
+    level of a socket, we can trust the edge-trigger nature of the
+    ASYNC signal.
+
+    As an eventloop we must poll for external events but leverage
+    kernel functionality to sleep between events ( until the loop's
+    next scheduled timed event ).
+
+    If we are polling on any non-sockets then we simply have no choice
+    about blocking on the poll() call.  If we blocked on the
+    sigtimedwait() call as rtsig papers recommend we will not wake on
+    non-socket state transitions.  As part of libevent, this module
+    must support non-socket polling.
+
+    Many applications, however, do not need to poll on non-sockets and
+    so this module should be able to optimize this case by using
+    sigtimedwait().  For this reason this module can actually trigger
+    events in each of three different ways:
+      - poll() returning ready events from descriptors in the pollset
+
+      - real-time signals dequeued via sigtimedwait()
+
+      - real-time signals that call an installed signal handler which in
+    turn writes the contents of siginfo to one end of a socketpair
+    DGRAM socket.  The other end of the socket is always in the
+    pollset so poll will be guaranteed to return even if the signal is
+    received before entering poll().
+
+    non-socket descriptors force us to block on the poll() for the
+    duration of a dispatch.  In this case we unblock (w/ sigprocmask)
+    the managed signals just before polling.  Each managed signal is
+    handled by signal_handler() which send()'s the contents of siginfo
+    over the socketpair.  Otherwise, we call poll() with a timeout of
+    0ms so it checks the levels of the fd's in the pollset and returns
+    immediately.  Any fd that is a socket and has no active state is
+    removed from the pollset for the next pass -- we will rely on
+    getting a signal for events on these fd's.
+
+    The receiving end of the siginfo socketpair is in the pollset
+    (permanently) so if we are polling on non-sockets, the delivery of
+    signals immediately following sigprocmask( SIG_UNBLOCK...) will
+    result in a readable op->signal_recv_fd which ensures the poll()
+    will return immediately.  If the poll() call is blocking and a
+    signal arrives ( possibly a real-time signal from a socket not in
+    the pollset ) its handler will write the data to the socketpair
+    and interrupt the poll().
+
+    After every poll call we attempt a non-blocking recv from the
+    signal_recv_fd and continue to recv and dispatch the events until
+    recv indicates the socket buffer is empty.
+
+    One might raise concerns about receiving event activations from
+    both poll() and from the rtsig data in the signal_recv_fd.
+    Fortunately, libevent is already structured for event coalescing,
+    so this issue is mitigated ( though we do some work twice for the
+    same event making us less efficient ).  I suspect that the cost of
+    turning off the O_ASYNC flag on fd's in the pollset is more
+    expensive than handling some events twice.  Looking at the
+    kernel's source code for setting O_ASYNC, it looks like it takes a
+    global kernel lock...
+
+    After a poll and recv-loop for the signal_recv_fd, we finally do a
+    sigtimedwait().  sigtimedwait will only block if we haven't
+    blocked in poll() and we have not enqueued events from either the
+    poll or the recv-loop.  Because sigtimedwait blocks all signals
+    that are not in the set of signals to be dequeued, we need to
+    dequeue almost all signals and make sure we dispatch them
+    correctly.  We dequeue any signal that is not blocked as well as
+    all libevent-managed signals.  If we get a signal that is not
+    managed by libevent we lookup the sigaction for the specific
+    signal and call that function ourselves.
+
+    Finally, I should mention that getting a SIGIO signal indicates
+    that the rtsig buffer has overflowed and we have lost events.
+    This forces us to add _every_ descriptor to the pollset to recover.
