/*
 * Context switching benchmark.
 *
 * Force system to context switch 2*nsigs
 * times by forking and exchanging signals.
 * To calculate system overhead for a context
 * switch, the signocsw program must be run
 * with nsigs.  Overhead is then estimated by
 *	t1 = time csw <n>
 *	t2 = time signocsw <n>
 *	overhead = t1 - 2 * t2;
