@ianlancetaylor requested issue #41702 to be considered for backport to the next 1.14 minor release.

@gopherbot Please open backport issues

This issue can cause any Go program that uses syscall.Exec on macOS to crash during the exec. We should backport the fix (when we have it) so that this will work for older releases.

Approved. This is a serious issue with no workaround.

[release-branch.go1.14] runtime: stop preemption during syscall.Exec …
d9dab4f 
…on Darwin

On current macOS versions a program that receives a signal during an
execve can fail with a SIGILL signal. This appears to be a macOS
kernel bug. It has been reported to Apple.

This CL partially works around the problem by using execLock to not
send preemption signals during execve. Of course some other stray
signal could occur, but at least we can avoid exacerbating the problem.
We can't simply disable signals, as that would mean that the exec'ed
process would start with all signals blocked, which it likely does not
expect.

Fixes #41703
