ed74e02776 Relink libc_r.a, libc_r.so and libc_r_p.so from libthr to libkse.
On ia64, where there's no libc_r at all, libkse is now the default
thread library by virtue of these links.

The reasons for this change are:
1. libkse is slated to become the default thread library anyway,
2. active development and maintenance is only present for libkse,
3. GNOME and KDE, both in the process of being supported on ia64,
   work better with KSE; even on ia64.

c24297c0f2 Implement _get_curthread and _set_curthread. We use GCCs builtin
function this, which expands to PAL calls (rduniq and wruniq).
This needs adjustment when TLS is implemented.

f493d09ae7 Begin making libthr async signal safe.
Create a private, single underscore, version of pthread_mutex_unlock for libc.
pthread_mutex_lock already has one. These versions are different from the
ones that applications will link against because they block all signals
from the time a call to lock the mutex is made until it is successfully
unlocked.

745a4a9ef8 Do not attempt to reque a thread on a mutex queue. It may be that
a thread receives a spurious wakeup from sigtimedwait(), so make sure
that the call to the queueing code is called only once before entering
the loop (not in the loop). This should fix some fatal errors people
are seeing with messages stating the thread is already on the mutex queue.
These errors may still be triggered from signal handlers; however, since
that part of the code is not locked down yet.

2234d5bea2 Locking primitives and operations in libthr should use struct umtx,
not spinlock_t. Spinlock_t and the associated functions and macros may
require blocking signals in order for async-safe libc functions to behave
appropriately in libthr. This is undesriable for libthr internal locking.
So, this is the first step in completely separating libthr from libc's
locking primitives.

Three new macros should be used for internal libthr locking from now on:
THR_LOCK, THR_TRYLOCK, THR_UNLOCK.

c36507007f In a critical section, separate the aquisition of the thread lock
and the disabling of signals. What we are really interested in is
keeping track of recursive disabling of signals. We should not
be recursively acquiring thread locks. Any such situations should
be reorganized to not require a recursive lock.

Separating the two out also allows us to block signals independent of
acquiring thread locks. This will be needed in libthr in the near future when
we put the pieces together to protect libc functions that use pthread mutexes
and low level locks.

7e2160688c The move to _retire() a thread in the GC instead of in the thread's
exit function has invalidated the need for _spin[un]lock_pthread().
The _spin[un]lock() functions can now dereference curthread without
the danger that the ldtentry containing the pointer to the thread
has been cleared out from under them.

Explicitly compare cond pointers with PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER instead

to encourage the idea that people can call those functions with
NULL pointers to a condition variable.

d39d651258 _pthread_cancel() breaks the normal lock order of first locking the
joined and then the joiner thread. There isn't an easy (sane?) way
to make it use the correct order without introducing races involving
the target thread and finding which (active or dead) list it is on. So,
after locking the canceled thread it will try to lock the joined thread
and if it fails release the first lock and try again from the top.

Introduce a new function, _spintrylock, which is simply a wrapper arround
umtx_trylock(), to help accomplish this.

71d09bc86a Start locking up the active and dead threads lists. The active threads
list is protected by a spinlock_t, but the dead list uses a pthread_mutex
because it is necessary to synchronize other threads with the garbage
collector thread. Lock/Unlock macros are used so it's easier to make
changes to the locks in the future.

The 'dead thread list' lock is intended to replace the gc mutex.
This doesn't have any practical ramifications. It simply makes it
clearer what the purpose of the lock is. The gc will use this lock,
instead of the gc mutex, to synchronize access to the dead list with
other threads.

Modify _pthread_exit() to use these two new locks instead of GIANT_LOCK,
and also to properly lock and protect thread state changes,
especially with respect to a joining thread.

The gc thread was also re-arranged to be more organized and less nested.

_pthread_join() was also modified to use the thread list locks. However,
locking and unlocking here needs special care because a thread could find
itself in a position where it's joining an exiting thread that is
waiting on the dead list lock, which this thread (joiner) holds. If the
joiner doesn't take care to lock *and* unlock in the same order they
(the joiner and the joinee) could deadlock against each other.

6a1899ed5c The libthr code makes use of higher-level primitives (pthread_mutex_t and
pthread_cond_t) internaly in addition to the low-level spinlock_t. The
garbage collector mutex and condition variable are two such examples. This
might lead to critical sections nested within critical sections. Implement
a reference counting mechanism so that signals are masked only on the first
entry and unmasked on the last exit.

I'm not sure I like the idea of nested critical sections, but if
the library is going to use the pthread primitives it might be necessary.

a224a3919d Lock the cond queue (condition variables):
Access to the thread's flags and state is protected by
_thread_critical_enter/exit(). When a thread is signaled with a condition
its state must be protected by locking it and disabling
signals before it is taken of the waiters' queue.

Move the implementation of pthread_cond_signal() and pthread_cond_broadcast()
into one function, cond_signal(). Its behaviour is determined by the
last argument, int broadcast. If this is set to 1 it will remove all
waiters, otherwise it will wake up only the first waiter thread.

Remove an extraneous call to pthread_testcancel().
