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.

This is needed when linking statically as SVR4 (ie, ELF) behavior is to only
link in a module if it satisfies an undefined strong reference from somewhere.
(this surprises a lot of people) Things are different when using shared libs,
the entire library and its modules and their symbols are available at run-time
(when the weak reference is seen to still be unsatisfied and is satisfied on
the spot), this is not the case with static libs.
Thus one can have a static binary with unresolved week references, and at
run-time dereference a NULL pointer.

Correctly set a threads signal mask while it is executing a signal
handler. The mask should be the union of its current mask, the
signal being handled, and the mask from the signal action.

Allow builtin longjmps out of application installed
signal handlers without the need perform any post-handler
cleanup:
o Change signal handling to save the threads interrupted
context on the stack. The threads current context is
now always stored in the same place (in the pthread).
If and when a signal handler returns, the interrupted
context is copied back to the storage area in the pthread.
o Before calling invoking a signal handler for a thread,
back the thread out of any internal waiting queues
(mutex, CV, join, etc) to which it belongs.
Rework uthread_info.c a bit to make it easier to change
the format of a thread dump.
Use an alternal signal stack for the thread library's
signal handler. This allows us to fiddle with the main
threads stack without fear of it being in use.

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.

not have a user-supplied signal handler, when a signal is delivered, one
thread will receive the signal, and then the code reverts to having no
signal handler for the signal. This can leave the other sigwait()ing
threads stranded permanently if the signal is later ignored, or can result
in process termination when the process should have delivered the signal to
one of the threads in sigwait().
To fix this problem, maintain a count of sigwait()ers for each signal that
has no default signal handler. Use the count to correctly install/uninstall
dummy signal handlers.

thread waiting on an event (I/O, condvar, etc) will, when resumed using
pthread_resume_np, return with EINTR. For example, suspending and resuming
a thread blocked on read() will not requeue the thread for the read, but
will return -1 with errno = EINTR. If the suspended thread is in a critical

While we're at it, convert thread cancellation to use continuations, since
it's cleaner than the original cancellation code.
Avoid delivering a signal to a thread twice. This was a pre-existing bug,
but was likely unexposed until these other changes were made.
Defer signals generated by pthread_kill() so that they can be delivered on
the appropriate stack. deischen claims that this is unnecessary, which is
likely true, but without this change, pthread_kill() can cause undefined
priority queue states and/or PANICs in [sig|_]longjmp(), so I'm leaving
this in for now. To compile this code out and exercise the bug, define
the _NO_UNDISPATCH cpp macro. Defining _PTHREADS_INVARIANTS as well will
cause earlier crashes.
