signals instead of having more intricate knowledge of thread state
within signal handling.
Simplify signal code because of above (by David Xu).
Use macros for libpthread usage of pthread_cleanup_push() and
pthread_cleanup_pop(). This removes some instances of malloc()
and free() from the semaphore and pthread_once() implementations.
When single threaded and forking(), make sure that the current
thread's signal mask is inherited by the forked thread.
Use private mutexes for libc and libpthread. Signals are
deferred while threads hold private mutexes. This fix also
breaks www/linuxpluginwrapper; a patch that fixes it is at
http://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/kse/linuxpluginwrapper.diff
Fix race condition in condition variables where handling a
signal (pthread_kill() or kill()) may not see a wakeup
(pthread_cond_signal() or pthread_cond_broadcast()).
In collaboration with: davidxu
the signal mask and pending signals of the calling thread. These
are stored in userland in libpthread.
There is a small race condition in this patch which could cause
problems if a signal arrives after setting the (kernel) signal
mask and before exec'ing. The thread's set of pending signals
also are not yet installed in the exec'd process. Both of these
will be corrected with the addition of a special syscall.

Aside from the POSIX requirements for pthread_atfork(), when
fork()ing, take the malloc lock to keep malloc state consistent
in the child.

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().

Register libpthread-specific locking API with rtld on startup.
This still has some rough edges with signals which should be
addresses later.
