Excuse my ignorance, but aren't signals supposed to be to processes, not specific threads?

My memory/knowledge of Posix in this area is very rusty.

Should something similar be used inside the TTY layer, where
reads/writes may cause signals to be generated?
Hmm, I'm not sure.  I do think you want to stop the entire process for SIGTTOU
or SIGTTIN (often the entire process group it seems), so I'm not sure if it
matters if the signal is sent to only the current thread versus sending it to
any thread in the process.
