A consequence of the implementation of preemption is that on Unix
systems, including Linux and macOS systems, programs built with Go
1.14 will receive more signals than programs built with earlier
releases.
This means that programs that use packages
like <a href="/pkg/syscall/"><code>syscall</code></a>
or <a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/unix"><code>golang.org/x/sys/unix</code></a>
will see more slow system calls fail with <code>EINTR</code> errors.
Those programs will have to handle those errors in some way, most
likely looping to try the system call again. For more
information about this
see <a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal.7.html"><code>man
7 signal</code></a> for Linux systems or similar documentation for
other systems.
