437df4859a To be consistent, use the __weak_reference macro from <sys/cdefs.h>
instead of #pragma weak to create weak definitions.

e5106342c6 Add weak definitions for wrapped system calls. In general:
_foo - wrapped system call
	foo - weak definition to _foo

and for cancellation points:

	_foo - wrapped system call
	__foo - enter cancellation point, call _foo(), leave
	        cancellation point
	foo - weak definition to __foo

Change use of global _thread_run to call a function to get the
currently running thread.

Make all pthread_foo functions weak definitions to _pthread_foo,
where _pthread_foo is the implementation.  This allows an application
to provide its own pthread functions.

Provide slightly different versions of pthread_mutex_lock and
pthread_mutex_init so that we can tell the difference between
a libc mutex and an application mutex.  Threads holding mutexes
internal to libc should never be allowed to exit, call signal
handlers, or cancel.

ddc8afd422 Implement compile time debug support instead of tracking file name and
line number every time a file descriptor is locked.

This looks like a big change but it isn't. It should reduce the size
of libc_r and make it run slightly faster.

c6831395f4 Simplify the handling of thread specific data. Only track if a key
is allocated or not, rather than keeping a count and attempting to
know it it is in-use. POSIX says that once a key is deleted, using the
key again results in undefined behaviour.

4a027d50c7 Change signal model to match POSIX (i.e. one set of signal handlers
for the process, not a separate set for each thread). By default, the
process now only has signal handlers installed for SIGVTALRM, SIGINFO
and SIGCHLD. The thread kernel signal handler is installed for other
signals on demand. This means that SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL processing is now
left to the kernel, not the thread kernel.

Change the signal dispatch to no longer use a signal thread, and
call the signal handler using the stack of the thread that has the
signal pending.

Change the atomic lock method to use test-and-set asm code with
a yield if blocked. This introduces separate locks for each type
of object instead of blocking signals to prevent a context
switch. It was this blocking of signals that caused the performance
degradation the people have noted.

This is a *big* change!

09bb0da60c Modify the return values to comply with POSIX. Previously these
functions would return -1 and set errno to indicate the specific error.
POSIX requires that the functions return the error code as the return
value of the function instead.

Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).

I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.

The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.

also:

Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.

also:

I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type

make -DWANT_LIBC_R world

to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page.  The default is still not to build libc_r.


also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
