locked. This is intended primarily to support the userland equivalent
of the various *_ASSERT_LOCKED() macros we have in the kernel.
MFC after: 2 weeks
loop count.
2. Add function pthread_mutex_setyieldloops_np to turn a mutex's yield
loop count.
3. Make environment variables PTHREAD_SPINLOOPS and PTHREAD_YIELDLOOPS
to be only used for turnning PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP mutex.
Warning, after symbol versioning is enabled, going back is not easy
(use WITHOUT_SYMVER at your own risk).
Change the default thread library to libthr.
There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the
thread libraries. If necessary, this will happen later.
wait(), waitpid() and usleep(), they are internal versions and
should not be cancellation points.
2. Make wait3() as a cancellation point.
3. Move raise() and pause() into file thr_sig.c.
4. Add functions _sigsuspend, _sigwait, _sigtimedwait and _sigwaitinfo,
remove SIGCANCEL bit in wait-set for those functions, the signal is
used internally to implement thread cancellation.
rewritten, now timers created with same sigev_notify_attributes will
run in same thread, this allows user to organize which timers can
run in same thread to save some thread resource.
1. fast simple type mutex.
2. __thread tls works.
3. asynchronous cancellation works ( using signal ).
4. thread synchronization is fully based on umtx, mainly, condition
variable and other synchronization objects were rewritten by using
umtx directly. those objects can be shared between processes via
shared memory, it has to change ABI which does not happen yet.
5. default stack size is increased to 1M on 32 bits platform, 2M for
64 bits platform.
As the result, some mysql super-smack benchmarks show performance is
improved massivly.
