/*
Change signal model to match POSIX (i.e. one set of signal handlers for the process, not a separate set for each thread). By default, the process now only has signal handlers installed for SIGVTALRM, SIGINFO and SIGCHLD. The thread kernel signal handler is installed for other signals on demand. This means that SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL processing is now left to the kernel, not the thread kernel. Change the signal dispatch to no longer use a signal thread, and call the signal handler using the stack of the thread that has the signal pending. Change the atomic lock method to use test-and-set asm code with a yield if blocked. This introduces separate locks for each type of object instead of blocking signals to prevent a context switch. It was this blocking of signals that caused the performance degradation the people have noted. This is a *big* change!

Change the FILE locking to be by FILE, not by the underlying fd as it was. Add a FILE_WAIT state and queue threads waiting for a FILE lock. Start using the sys/queue.h macros instead of the way that MIT pthreads did it. Add a thread name to the private thread structure and a non-POSIX function to set this. This helps (me at least) when sending a SIGINFO to a threaded process to get a /tmp/uthread.dump to see what the <expletive deleted> threads are doing this time. It is nice to be able to recognise (yes, I spell that with an 's' too) which threads are which.

An application can install a routine that gets called everytime a thread (explicitly created by the application) gets context switched. The routine gets passed the pthread IDs of the threads that are being switched in and out. Submitted by: Dan Eischen <eischen@vigrid.com> Changes by me: o Added a PS_SPINBLOCK state to deal with the priority inversion problem most often (I think) seen by threads calling malloc/free/realloc. o Dispatch signals to the running thread directly rather than at a context switch to avoid the situation where the switch never occurs.

Use snprintf instead of sprintf to avoid long source file paths from launching an application into space when someone tries to debug it. The dead thread list now has it's own link pointer, so use that when reporting the grateful dead.

[ The author's description... ] o Runnable threads are now maintained in priority queues. The implementation requires two things: 1.) The priority queues must be protected during insertion and removal of threads. Since the kernel scheduler must modify the priority queues, a spinlock for protection cannot be used. The functions _thread_kern_sched_defer() and _thread_kern_sched_undefer() were added to {un}defer kernel scheduler activation. 2.) A thread (active) priority change can be performed only when the thread is removed from the priority queue. The implementation uses a threads active priority when inserting it into the queue. A by-product is that thread switches are much faster. A separate queue is used for waiting and/or blocked threads, and it is searched at most 2 times in the kernel scheduler when there are active threads. It should be possible to reduce this to once by combining polling of threads waiting on I/O with the loop that looks for timed out threads and the minimum timeout value. o Functions to defer kernel scheduler activation were added. These are _thread_kern_sched_defer() and _thread_kern_sched_undefer() and may be called recursively. These routines do not block the scheduling signal, but latch its occurrence. The signal handler will not call the kernel scheduler when the running thread has deferred scheduling, but it will be called when running thread undefers scheduling. o Added support for _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING. All the POSIX routines required by this should now be implemented. One note, SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_FIFO, and SCHED_RR are required to be defined by including pthread.h. These defines are currently in sched.h. I modified pthread.h to include sched.h but don't know if this is the proper thing to do. o Added support for priority protection and inheritence mutexes. This allows definition of _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_PROTECT and _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT. o Added additional error checks required by POSIX for mutexes and condition variables. o Provided a wrapper for sigpending which is marked as a hidden syscall. o Added a non-portable function as a debugging aid to allow an application to monitor thread context switches. An application can install a routine that gets called everytime a thread (explicitly created by the application) gets context switched. The routine gets passed the pthread IDs of the threads that are being switched in and out.

/* Output a header for file descriptors: */
Implement compile time debug support instead of tracking file name and line number every time a file descriptor is locked. This looks like a big change but it isn't. It should reduce the size of libc_r and make it run slightly faster.

Change the FILE locking to be by FILE, not by the underlying fd as it was. Add a FILE_WAIT state and queue threads waiting for a FILE lock. Start using the sys/queue.h macros instead of the way that MIT pthreads did it. Add a thread name to the private thread structure and a non-POSIX function to set this. This helps (me at least) when sending a SIGINFO to a threaded process to get a /tmp/uthread.dump to see what the <expletive deleted> threads are doing this time. It is nice to be able to recognise (yes, I spell that with an 's' too) which threads are which.
