its waitset, but if the signal is not masked by the thread, the signal
can interrupt the thread and signal action can be invoked by the thread,
sigwait should return with errno set to EINTR.
Also save and restore thread internal state(timeout and interrupted)
around signal handler invoking.
signals were changed in kernel, it will retrieve the pending set and
try to find a thread to dispatch the signal. The dispatching process
can be rolled back if the signal is no longer in kernel.
o Create two functions _thr_signal_init() and _thr_signal_deinit(),
all signal action settings are retrieved from kernel when threading
mode is turned on, after a fork(), child process will reset them to
user settings by calling _thr_signal_deinit(). when threading mode
is not turned on, all signal operations are direct past to kernel.
o When a thread generated a synchoronous signals and its context returned
from completed list, UTS will retrieve the signal from its mailbox and try
to deliver the signal to thread.
o Context signal mask is now only used when delivering signals, thread's
current signal mask is always the one in pthread structure.
o Remove have_signals field in pthread structure, replace it with
psf_valid in pthread_signal_frame. when psf_valid is true, in context
switch time, thread will backout itself from some mutex/condition
internal queues, then begin to process signals. when a thread is not
at blocked state and running, check_pending indicates there are signals
for the thread, after preempted and then resumed time, UTS will try to
deliver signals to the thread.
o At signal delivering time, not only pending signals in thread will be
scanned, process's pending signals will be scanned too.
o Change sigwait code a bit, remove field sigwait in pthread_wait_data,
replace it with oldsigmask in pthread structure, when a thread calls
sigwait(), its current signal mask is backuped to oldsigmask, and waitset
is copied to its signal mask and when the thread gets a signal in the
waitset range, its current signal mask is restored from oldsigmask,
these are done in atomic fashion.
o Two additional POSIX APIs are implemented, sigwaitinfo() and sigtimedwait().
o Signal code locking is better than previous, there is fewer race conditions.
o Temporary disable most of code in _kse_single_thread as it is not safe
after fork().
platforms the compiler warns about incompatible integer/pointer casts
and on ia64 this generally is bad news. We know that what we're doing
here is valid/correct, so suppress the warning. No functional change.
Sleeps better: marcel
by moving the definition of struct ksd to pthread_md.h and removing
the inclusion of ksd.h from thr_private.h (which has the definition
of struct kse and kse_critical_t). This allows ksd.h to have inline
functions that use struct kse and kse_critical_t and generally
yields a cleaner implementation at the cost of not having all ksd
related types/definitions in one header.
Implement the ksd functionality on ia64 by using inline functions
and permanently remove ksd.c from the ia64 specific makefile.
This change does not clean up the i386 specific version of ksd.h.
NOTE: The ksd code on ia64 abuses the tp register in the same way
as it is abused in libthr in that it is incompatible with the
runtime specification. This will be address when support for TLS
hits the tree.
_ksd_readandclear_tmbx to be function-like. That way we
can define them as inline functions or create prototypes
for them.
This change allows the ksd interface on ia64 to be fully
inlined.
the chance of getting the same thread id when allocating a
new thread is reduced. This won't work if the application
creates a new thread for every time a thread exits, but
we're still within the allowances of POSIX.
path, making them suitable for direct use by the dynamic loader.
Register libpthread-specific locking API with rtld on startup.
This still has some rough edges with signals which should be

future, we'll eliminate spinlocks from libc but that will wait

Don't call an application signal handler if the handler is
the same as the library-installed handler. This seems to
be possible after a fork and is the cause of konsole hangs.

Fix a races in join and cancellation.
When trying to wait on a CV and the library is not yet
threaded, make it threaded so that waiting actually works.
When trying to nanosleep() and we're not threaded, just
call the system call nanosleep instead of adding the thread

Clean up adding/removing new threads to the "all threads queue",
assigning them unique ids, and tracking how many active threads
there are. Do it all when the thread is added to the scheduling
queue instead of making pthread_create() know how to do it.
Fix a race where a thread could be marked for signal delivery
but it could be exited before we actually add the signal to it.

lock held (_thr_sched_switch_unlocked()) and use this to avoid
dropping the scheduler lock and having the scheduler retake the
same lock again.
Add a better way of detecting if a low-level lock is in use.
When switching out a thread due to blocking in the UTS, don't
switch to the KSE's scheduler stack only to switch back to
another thread. If possible switch to the new thread directly
from the old thread and avoid the overhead of the extra
context switch.
Check for pending signals on a thread when entering the scheduler
and add them to the threads signal frame. This includes some
other minor signal fixes.
Most of this was a joint effor between davidxu and myself.

o Make spinlock/spinlock critical regions.
The following were submitted by davidxu
o Alow thr_switch() to take a null mailbox argument.
o Better protect cancellation checks.
o Don't set KSE specific data when creating new KSEs; rely on the
first upcall of the KSE to set it.
o Add the ability to set the maximum concurrency level and do this
automatically. We should have a way to enable/disable this with
some sort of tunable because some applications may not want this
to be the default.
o Hold the scheduling lock across thread switch calls.
o If scheduling of a thread fails, make sure to remove it from the list
of active threads.
o Better protect accesses to a joining threads when the target thread is
exited and detached.
o Remove some macro definitions that are now provided by <sys/kse.h>.
o Don't leave the library in threaded mode if creation of the initial
KSE fails.
o Wakeup idle KSEs when there are threads ready to run.
o Maintain the number of threads active in the priority queue.
While I'm here, use the TAILQ_FOREACH macro instead of a more
manual method which was inherited from libc_r (so we could
remove elements from the list which isn't needed for libpthread).
