Jilles Tjoelker 9de9fa32c9 thr_*(2): Add xrefs to what libthr implements using each syscall.
Add text to thr_exit(2) and thr_new(2) discouraging their use in
applications since calling these in a process with libthr loaded will
confuse libthr and is likely to cause hangs or crashes.

The thr_kill2(2) call is not used by libthr and may be useful in special
applications.

The other calls can be used in applications but it should not be necessary.

.Sh NAME
.Nm thr_self
.Nd return thread identifier for the calling thread
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/thr.h
.Ft int
.Fn thr_self "long *id"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn thr_self
system call stores the system-wide thread identifier for the current
kernel-scheduled thread in the variable pointed by the argument
.Va id .
.Pp
The thread identifier is an integer in the range from
.Dv PID_MAX + 2
(10002) to
.Dv INT_MAX .
The thread identifier is guaranteed to be unique at any given time,
for each running thread in the system.
After the thread exits, the identifier may be reused.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful,
.Fn thr_self
will return zero, otherwise \-1 is returned, and
.Va errno
is set to indicate the error.
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn thr_self
operation may return the following errors:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EFAULT
The memory pointed to by the
.Fa id
argument is not valid.

.Xr pthread 3
functionality.
