signals were changed in kernel, it will retrieve the pending set and
try to find a thread to dispatch the signal. The dispatching process
can be rolled back if the signal is no longer in kernel.
o Create two functions _thr_signal_init() and _thr_signal_deinit(),
all signal action settings are retrieved from kernel when threading
mode is turned on, after a fork(), child process will reset them to
user settings by calling _thr_signal_deinit(). when threading mode
is not turned on, all signal operations are direct past to kernel.
o When a thread generated a synchoronous signals and its context returned
from completed list, UTS will retrieve the signal from its mailbox and try
to deliver the signal to thread.
o Context signal mask is now only used when delivering signals, thread's
current signal mask is always the one in pthread structure.
o Remove have_signals field in pthread structure, replace it with
psf_valid in pthread_signal_frame. when psf_valid is true, in context
switch time, thread will backout itself from some mutex/condition
internal queues, then begin to process signals. when a thread is not
at blocked state and running, check_pending indicates there are signals
for the thread, after preempted and then resumed time, UTS will try to
deliver signals to the thread.
o At signal delivering time, not only pending signals in thread will be
scanned, process's pending signals will be scanned too.
o Change sigwait code a bit, remove field sigwait in pthread_wait_data,
replace it with oldsigmask in pthread structure, when a thread calls
sigwait(), its current signal mask is backuped to oldsigmask, and waitset
is copied to its signal mask and when the thread gets a signal in the
waitset range, its current signal mask is restored from oldsigmask,
these are done in atomic fashion.
o Two additional POSIX APIs are implemented, sigwaitinfo() and sigtimedwait().
o Signal code locking is better than previous, there is fewer race conditions.
o Temporary disable most of code in _kse_single_thread as it is not safe
after fork().

functions are derived from the swapctx() and restorectx() (resp)

correct, but has not yet been tested.
Note that with these functions operating on mcontext_t, we also
created the foundation upon which we can implement getcontext(2)
and setcontext(2) replacements. It's not guaranteed that the use
of these syscalls and _ia64_{save|restore}_context() on the same
uicontext_t is actually going to work. Replacing the syscalls is
now trivially achieved.

minimize the amount and complexity of assembly code that needs to be
written. This way the core functionality is spread over 3 elementary
functions that don't have to do anything that can more easily and
more safely be done in C. As such, assembly code will only have to
know about the definition of mcontext_t.
The runtime cost of not having these functions being inlined is less
important than the cleanliness and maintainability of the code at
this stage of the implementation.

Add a missing xref to sigsetops(3), without which the above three

by moving the definition of struct ksd to pthread_md.h and removing
the inclusion of ksd.h from thr_private.h (which has the definition
of struct kse and kse_critical_t). This allows ksd.h to have inline
functions that use struct kse and kse_critical_t and generally
yields a cleaner implementation at the cost of not having all ksd
related types/definitions in one header.
Implement the ksd functionality on ia64 by using inline functions
and permanently remove ksd.c from the ia64 specific makefile.
This change does not clean up the i386 specific version of ksd.h.
NOTE: The ksd code on ia64 abuses the tp register in the same way
as it is abused in libthr in that it is incompatible with the
runtime specification. This will be address when support for TLS
hits the tree.

This change allows the ksd interface on ia64 to be fully
