When can you call AllocMem/SendMsg/Dos calls?

In particular, what can be done from a signal?

More accurately, if I can guarantee that an allocmem was not in process
when I get a signal, can I call allocmem from a signal routine? Can I
call dos.library from a signal handler? 

What can be called from the input.device feed chain? Can a
input.device routine call both allocmem and sendmessage? Can it
call dos.library?
