environment. This includes support for multiple KSEs and KSEGs.
The ability to create more than 1 KSE via pthread_setconcurrency()
is in the works as well as support for PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM threads.
Those should come shortly.
There are still some known issues which davidxu and I are working
on, but it'll make it easier for us by committing what we have.
This library now passes all of the ACE tests that libc_r passes
with the exception of one. It also seems to work OK with KDE
including konqueror, kwrite, etc. I haven't been able to get
mozilla to run due to lack of java plugin, so I'd be interested
to see how it works with that.

The new libpthread will provide POSIX threading support using KSE.
These files were previously repo-copied from src/lib/libc_r.

there is no need to wake all waiters to assure that the highest priority
thread is run. As the semaphore code is written, there was no correctness
problem, but the change improves sem_post() performance.

_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.

thread switches should be on par with that under scheduler
activations.
o Timing is achieved through the use of a fixed interval
timer (ITIMER_PROF) to count scheduling ticks instead
of retrieving the time-of-day upon every thread switch
and calculating elapsed real time.
o Polling for I/O readiness is performed once for each
scheduling tick instead of every thread switch.
o The non-signal saving/restoring versions of setjmp/longjmp
are used to save and restore thread contexts. This may
allow the removal of _THREAD_SAFE macros from setjmp()
and longjmp() - needs more investigation.
Change signal handling so that signals are handled in the
context of the thread that is receiving the signal. When
signals are dispatched to a thread, a special signal handling
frame is created on top of the target threads stack. The
frame contains the threads saved state information and a new
context in which the thread can run. The applications signal
handler is invoked through a wrapper routine that knows how
to restore the threads saved state and unwind to previous
frames.
Fix interruption of threads due to signals. Some states
were being improperly interrupted while other states were
not being interrupted. This should fix several PRs.
Signal handlers, which are invoked as a result of a process
signal (not by pthread_kill()), are now called with the
code (or siginfo_t if SA_SIGINFO was set in sa_flags) and
sigcontext_t as received from the process signal handler.
Modify the search for a thread to which a signal is delivered.
The search algorithm is now:
o First thread found in sigwait() with signal in wait mask.
o First thread found sigsuspend()'d on the signal.
o Current thread if signal is unmasked.
o First thread found with signal unmasked.
Collapse machine dependent support into macros defined in
pthread_private.h. These should probably eventually be moved
into separate MD files.
Change the range of settable priorities to be compliant with
POSIX (0-31). The threads library uses higher priorities
internally for real-time threads (not yet implemented) and
threads executing signal handlers. Real-time threads and
threads running signal handlers add 64 and 32, respectively,
to a threads base priority.
Some other small changes and cleanups.

For sem_post(), make sure that the correct thread is woken up. This has
unfortunate performance implications, but is necessary for POSIX compliance.

just use _foo() <-- foo(). In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().
Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().
Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),
tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid().
Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant.
