Modifying signal handlers is a process-global operation. When two threads run coroutine-sigaltstack's qemu_coroutine_new() concurrently, they may interfere with each other: One of them may revert the SIGUSR2 handler back to the default between the other thread setting up coroutine_trampoline() as the handler and raising SIGUSR2. That SIGUSR2 will then lead to the process exiting.
Outside of coroutine-sigaltstack, qemu does not use SIGUSR2. We can thus keep the signal handler installed all the time. CoroutineThreadState.tr_handler tells coroutine_trampoline() whether its stack is set up so a new coroutine is to be launched (i.e., it should invoke sigsetjmp()), or not (i.e., the signal came from an external source and we should just perform the default action, which is to exit the process). Note that in user-mode emulation, the guest can register signal handlers for any signal but SIGSEGV and SIGBUS, so if it registers a SIGUSR2 handler, sigaltstack coroutines will break from then on. However, we do not use coroutines for user-mode emulation, so that is fine.
