* Sends the current thread a SIGUSR1, causing a preempted sandbox to be restored
* Invoked by asm during a context switch
* We need to switch back to a previously preempted thread. The only way to restore all of its registers is to use
* sigreturn. To get to sigreturn, we need to send ourselves a signal, then update the registers we should return to,
* then sigreturn (by returning from the handler).
