Copy stable/10@r272459 to releng/10.1 as part of
the 10.1-RELEASE process.

# 218414 07-Feb-2011 jkim

Introduce a non-portable function pthread_getthreadid_np(3) to retrieve
calling thread's unique integral ID, which is similar to AIX function of
the same name. Bump __FreeBSD_version to note its introduction.

# 216641 22-Dec-2010 davidxu

MFp4:

- Add flags CVWAIT_ABSTIME and CVWAIT_CLOCKID for umtx kernel based
condition variable, this should eliminate an extra system call to get
current time.

- Add sub-function UMTX_OP_NWAKE_PRIVATE to wake up N channels in single
system call. Create userland sleep queue for condition variable, in most
cases, thread will wait in the queue, the pthread_cond_signal will defer
thread wakeup until the mutex is unlocked, it tries to avoid an extra
system call and a extra context switch in time window of pthread_cond_signal
and pthread_mutex_unlock.

The changes are part of process-shared mutex project.


# 201565 05-Jan-2010 davidxu

remove file thr_sem_new.c.


# 201546 05-Jan-2010 davidxu

Use umtx to implement process sharable semaphore, to make this work,
now type sema_t is a structure which can be put in a shared memory area,
and multiple processes can operate it concurrently.
User can either use mmap(MAP_SHARED) + sem_init(pshared=1) or use sem_open()
to initialize a shared semaphore.
Named semaphore uses file system and is located in /tmp directory, and its
file name is prefixed with 'SEMD', so now it is chroot or jail friendly.
In simplist cases, both for named and un-named semaphore, userland code
does not have to enter kernel to reduce/increase semaphore's count.
The semaphore is designed to be crash-safe, it means even if an application
is crashed in the middle of operating semaphore, the semaphore state is
still safely recovered by later use, there is no waiter counter maintained
by userland code.
The main semaphore code is in libc and libthr only has some necessary stubs,
this makes it possible that a non-threaded application can use semaphore
without linking to thread library.
Old semaphore implementation is kept libc to maintain binary compatibility.
The kernel ksem API is no longer used in the new implemenation.

# 177494 22-Mar-2008 davidxu

Add POSIX pthread API pthread_getcpuclockid() to get a thread's cpu
time clock id.


# 176763 03-Mar-2008 davidxu

Implement functions pthread_getaffinity_np and pthread_setaffinity_np to
get and set thread's cpu affinity mask.


# 157457 04-Apr-2006 davidxu

WARNS level 4 cleanup.


# 157194 27-Mar-2006 davidxu

Remove priority mutex code because it does not work correctly,
to make it work, turnstile like mechanism to support priority
propagating and other realtime scheduling options in kernel
should be available to userland mutex, for the moment, I just
want to make libthr be simple and efficient thread library.

Discussed with: deischen, julian


# 157112 25-Mar-2006 davidxu

Compile thr_rtld.c


# 155890 22-Feb-2006 davidxu

Disable POSIX SIGEV_THREAD notification support, soon we will have a common
library which can be reused both for libthr and libpthread.


# 154130 09-Jan-2006 davidxu

Rescue pthread_set_name_np for compatible reason, remove unused code.


# 151871 30-Oct-2005 davidxu

Add timer_create wrapper.


# 144921 12-Apr-2005 davidxu

Add debugger event reporting support, current only TD_CREATE and TD_DEATH
events are reported.


# 144518 01-Apr-2005 davidxu

Import my recent 1:1 threading working. some features improved includes:
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.

# 131181 27-Jun-2004 mtm

Implement pthread_atfork in libthr. This is mostly from deichen's
work in libpthread.

# 129484 20-May-2004 mtm

Make libthr async-signal-safe without costly signal masking. The guidlines I
followed are: Only 3 functions (pthread_cancel, pthread_setcancelstate,
pthread_setcanceltype) are required to be async-signal-safe by POSIX. None of
the rest of the pthread api is required to be async-signal-safe. This means
that only the three mentioned functions are safe to use from inside
signal handlers.
However, there are certain system/libc calls that are
cancellation points that a caller may call from within a signal handler,
and since they are cancellation points calls have to be made into libthr
to test for cancellation and exit the thread if necessary. So, the
cancellation test and thread exit code paths must be async-signal-safe
as well. A summary of the changes follows:

o Almost all of the code paths that masked signals, as well as locking the
pthread structure now lock only the pthread structure.
o Signals are masked (and left that way) as soon as a thread enters
pthread_exit().
o The active and dead threads locks now explicitly require that signals
are masked.
o Access to the isdead field of the pthread structure is protected by both
the active and dead list locks for writing. Either one is sufficient for
reading.
o The thread state and type fields have been combined into one three-state
switch to make it easier to read without requiring a lock. It doesn't need
a lock for writing (and therefore for reading either) because only the
current thread can write to it and it is an integer value.
o The thread state field of the pthread structure has been eliminated. It
was an unnecessary field that mostly duplicated the flags field, but
required additional locking that would make a lot more code paths require
signal masking. Any truly unique values (such as PS_DEAD) have been
reborn as separate members of the pthread structure.
o Since the mutex and condvar pthread functions are not async-signal-safe
there is no need to muck about with the wait queues when handling
a signal ...
o ... which also removes the need for wrapping signal handlers and sigaction(2).
o The condvar and mutex async-cancellation code had to be revised as a result
of some of these changes, which resulted in semi-unrelated changes which
would have been difficult to work on as a separate commit, so they are
included as well.

The only part of the changes I am worried about is related to locking for
the pthread joining fields. But, I will take a closer look at them once this
mega-patch is committed.


# 127523 28-Mar-2004 mtm

Remove the garbage collector thread. All resources are freed
in-line. If the exiting thread cannot release a resource, then
the next thread to exit will release it.


# 126000 19-Feb-2004 mtm

Implement PThreads barriers and barrier attributes.


# 125971 18-Feb-2004 mtm

Remove thr_getschedparam.c since it's contents have been moved into
thr_setschedparam.c


# 123348 09-Dec-2003 mtm

o Add a wrapper around sigaction(2), so we can insert our own wrapper
around signals.
o Lock the process global signal action table.


# 113729 19-Apr-2003 jdp

libthr. No changes were made to libpthread by request of deischen,
who will soon commit a real implementation for that library.

# 112918 01-Apr-2003 jeff

- Add libthr but don't hook it up to the regular build yet. This is an
adaptation of libc_r for the thr system call interface. This is beta
quality code.
