+ * Note the timeout is used for the first signal, then the signal is send
+ * repeatedly in interval ~1% of the original timeout to avoid race in signal
+ * handling -- for example you want to use timer to define timeout for a
+ * syscall:
+ *
+ *	 setup_timer()
+ *	 syscall()
+ *	 cancel_timer()
+ *
+ * if the timeout is too short than it's possible that the signal is delivered
+ * before application enter the syscall function. For this reason timer send
+ * the signal repeatedly.

+ * The applications need to ensure that they can tolerate multiple signal
+ * deliveries.
