You can always find the others from the thread but the converse is not true.
Theorotically this would lead to runtime being allocated to the wrong
entity in some cases though it is not clear how often this actually happenned.

but it WAS a bug..)

1. Add tm_lwpid into kse_thr_mailbox to indicate which kernel
thread current user thread is running on. Add tm_dflags into
kse_thr_mailbox, the flags is written by debugger, it tells
UTS and kernel what should be done when the process is being
debugged, current, there two flags TMDF_SSTEP and TMDF_DONOTRUNUSER.
TMDF_SSTEP is used to tell kernel to turn on single stepping,
or turn off if it is not set.
TMDF_DONOTRUNUSER is used to tell kernel to schedule upcall
whenever possible, to UTS, it means do not run the user thread
until debugger clears it, this behaviour is necessary because
gdb wants to resume only one thread when the thread's pc is
at a breakpoint, and thread needs to go forward, in order to
avoid other threads sneak pass the breakpoints, it needs to remove
breakpoint, only wants one thread to go. Also, add km_lwp to
kse_mailbox, the lwp id is copied to kse_thr_mailbox at context
switch time when process is not being debugged, so when process
is attached, debugger can map kernel thread to user thread.
2. Add p_xthread to proc strcuture and td_xsig to thread structure.
p_xthread is used by a thread when it wants to report event
to debugger, every thread can set the pointer, especially, when
it is used in ptracestop, it is the last thread reporting event
will win the race. Every thread has a td_xsig to exchange signal
with debugger, thread uses TDF_XSIG flag to indicate it is reporting
signal to debugger, if the flag is not cleared, thread will keep
retrying until it is cleared by debugger, p_xthread may be
used by debugger to indicate CURRENT thread. The p_xstat is still
in proc structure to keep wait() to work, in future, we may
just use td_xsig.
3. Add TDF_DBSUSPEND flag, the flag is used by debugger to suspend
a thread. When process stops, debugger can set the flag for
thread, thread will check the flag in thread_suspend_check,
enters a loop, unless it is cleared by debugger, process is
detached or process is existing. The flag is also checked in
ptracestop, so debugger can temporarily suspend a thread even
if the thread wants to exchange signal.
4. Current, in ptrace, we always resume all threads, but if a thread
has already a TDF_DBSUSPEND flag set by debugger, it won't run.

tracing process to obtain information about the LWP that caused the
traced process to stop. Debuggers can use this information to select
the thread currently running on the LWP as the current thread.
The request has been made compatible with NetBSD for as much as
possible. This implementation differs from NetBSD in the following
ways:
1. The data argument is allowed to be smaller than the size of the
ptrace_lwpinfo structure known to the kernel, but not 0. This
is opposite to what NetBSD allows. The reason for this is that
we can extend the structure without affecting older binaries.
2. On NetBSD the tracing process is to set the pl_lwpid field to
the Id of the LWP it wants information of. We don't do that.
Our ptrace interface allows passing the LWP Id instead of the
PID. The tracing process is to set the PID to the LWP Id it
wants information of.
3. When the PID is actually the PID of the tracing process, this
request returns the information about the LWP that caused the
process to stop. This was the whole purpose of the request in
the first place.
When the traced process has exited, this request will return the
LWP Id 0, indicating that the process state is not the result of
an event specific to a LWP.
from exit1(). sched_exit() must be called unconditionally from exit1().
It was called almost unconditionally because the only exits on system
shutdown if at all.
(2) Removed the comment that presumed to know what sched_exit() does.
sched_exit() does different things for the ULE case. The call became
essential when it started doing load average stuff, but its caller
should not know that.
(3) Didn't fix bugs caused by bitrot in the condition. The condition was
last correct in rev.1.208 when it was in wait1(). There p was spelled
curthread->td_proc and was for the waiting parent; now p is for the
exiting child. The condition was to avoid lowering init's priority.
It should be in sched_exit() itself. Lowering of priorities is broken
in other ways in at least the 4BSD scheduler, and doing it for init
causes less noticeable problems than doing it for for shells.

options, status pointer and rusage pointer as arguments. It is up to
the caller to copyout the status and rusage to userland if needed. This
lets us axe the 'compat' argument and hide all that functionality in
owait(), by the way. This also cleans up some locking in kern_wait()
since it no longer has to drop locks around copyout() since all the
copyout()'s are deferred.
- Convert owait(), wait4(), and the various ABI compat wait() syscalls to
use kern_wait() rather than wait1() or wait4(). This removes a bit
more stackgap usage.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()
(it didn't used the stackgap when it should have) but uses lim_rlimit()
and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
- The p_rlimit macro no longer exists.
