If a parser process is terminated while holding a write lock, then it will lead to a deadlock (see https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing.Process.terminate). With SIGTERM, we don't want to terminate holding the lock. We also don't want a SIGINT to cause a partial write to the event stream. I tried using signal masks to avoid this but it doesn't work, see https://bugs.python.org/issue47139 Instead, add a signal handler and catch the calls around the critical section. We also need a thread lock to ensure other threads in the same process don't handle the signal until all the threads are not in the lock.

Bitbake
=======
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run
efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints.
One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software
stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website:
https://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated
html version at the Yocto Project website:

Contributing
------------
Please refer to
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended
for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org)
but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send
the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current
branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Mailing list:
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/bitbake-devel

Testing:
Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions.
You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since
it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is
recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also
appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.
