of an alternate signal stack for handling signals. Let the kernel
send signals on the stack of the current thread and teach the threads
signal handler how to deliver signals to the current thread if it
needs to. Also, always store a threads context as a jmp_buf. Eventually
this will change to be a ucontext_t or mcontext_t.
Other small nits. Use struct pthread * instead of pthread_t in internal
library routines. The threads code wants struct pthread *, and pthread_t
doesn't necessarily have to be the same.

Also set t12 with the return address.
This should fix libc_r on alpha.

thread to detach the target thread in its cancellation handler.
This bug was found by Butenhof's cancel_subcontract test.

kernel #defines to figure out where the stack is located. This stops
libc_r from exploding when the kernel is compiled with a different
KVM size. IMHO this is all kinda bogus, it would be better to just
check %esp and work from that.
- uthread_signal.c; libc_r does not wrap signal() since 1998/04/29.
- uthread_attr_setprio.c; it was never connected to the build, and
pthread_attr_setprio() does not exist in POSIX.
- uthread_sigblock.c and uthread_sigsetmask.c; these were no-ops
bloating libc_r's space.
pthread_private.h:
- Removed prototypes of non-syscalls: send().
- Removed prototypes of unused syscalls: sigpending(), sigsuspend(),
and select().
- Fixed prototype of fork().
- MFS: Fixed prototypes of <sys/socket.h> syscalls.

atomically:
1) Search _thread_list for the thread to join.
2) Search _dead_list for the thread to join.
3) Set the running thread as the joiner.
While we're at it, fix a race in the case where multiple threads try to
join on the same thread. POSIX says that the behavior of multiple joiners
is undefined, but the fix is cheap as a result of the other fix.
keep track of a joiner. POSIX only supports a single joiner, so this
simplification is acceptable.
At the same time, make sure to mark a joined thread as detached so that
its resources can be freed.

there is no need to wake all waiters to assure that the highest priority

problem, but the change improves sem_post() performance.

process on fork(2).
It is the supposed behavior stated in the manpage of sigaction(2), and
Solaris, NetBSD and FreeBSD 3-STABLE correctly do so.
The previous fix against libc_r/uthread/uthread_fork.c fixed the
problem only for the programs linked with libc_r, so back it out and
fix fork(2) itself to help those not linked with libc_r as well.

placed in any scheduling queue(s). The process of dispatching
signals to a thread can change its state which will attempt to add
or remove the thread from any scheduling queue to which it belongs.
This can break some assertions if the thread isn't in the queue(s)
implied by its state.
When adding dispatching a pending signal to a thread, be sure to
remove the signal from the threads set of pending signals.
