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.

a knob to force process scope threads. If the environment variable
LIBPTHREAD_PROCESS_SCOPE is set, force all threads to be process
scope threads regardless of how the application creates them. If
LIBPTHREAD_SYSTEM_SCOPE is set (forcing system scope threads), it
overrides LIBPTHREAD_PROCESS_SCOPE.

$ LIBPTHREAD_SYSTEM_SCOPE=anything threaded_app

LIBPTHREAD_SYSTEM_SCOPE in the environment.
You can still force libpthread to be built in strictly 1:1 by
adding -DSYSTEM_SCOPE_ONLY to CFLAGS. This is kept for archs
that don't yet support M:N mode.

1. Add global varible _libkse_debug, debugger uses the varible to identify
libpthread. when the varible is written to non-zero by debugger, libpthread
will take some special action at context switch time, it will check
TMDF_DOTRUNUSER flags, if a thread has the flags set by debugger, it won't
be scheduled, when a thread leaves KSE critical region, thread checks
the flag, if it was set, the thread relinquish CPU.
2. Add pq_first_debug to select a thread allowd to run by debugger.
3. Some names prefixed with _thr are renamed to _thread prefix.
which is allowed to run by debugger.
sigsuspend, thread shouldn't wait, in old code, it may be
ignored.
When a signal handler is invoked in sigsuspend, thread gets
two different signal masks, one is in thread structure,
sigprocmask() can retrieve it, another is in ucontext
which is a third parameter of signal handler, the former is
the result of sigsuspend mask ORed with sigaction's sa_mask
and current signal, the later is the mask in thread structure
before sigsuspend is called. After signal handler is called,
the mask in ucontext should be copied into thread structure,
and becomes CURRENT signal mask, then sigsuspend returns to
user code.

initializing the signal mask. This prevents trying to use
internal locks that haven't yet been initialized.

thread library for i386, amd64, and ia64. For alpha
and sparc64 the library is not changed and remains libkse,
and links are installed so that libpthread -> libc_r.
The gcc -pthread option will be changed in a separate
commit so that it links to -lpthread instead of -lc_r.

on a rwlock while there are writers waiting. We normally favor
writers but when a reader already has at least one other read lock,
we favor the reader. We don't track all the rwlocks owned by a
thread, nor all the threads that own a rwlock -- we just keep
a count of all the read locks owned by a thread.
