The call was interrupted by a signal; signal(7).
The original Linux system call was named sigsuspend(). However, with the addition of real-time signals in Linux 2.2, the fixed-size, 32-bit sigset_t type supported by that system call was no longer fit for purpose. Consequently, a new system call, rt_sigsuspend(), was added to support an enlarged sigset_t type. The new system call takes a second argument, size_t sigsetsize, which specifies the size in bytes of the signal set in mask. This argument is currently required to have the value sizeof(sigset_t) (or the error EINVAL results). The glibc sigsuspend() wrapper function hides these details from us, transparently calling rt_sigsuspend() when the kernel provides it.
