These should be the last thing needed to make SDL build with threads
support. I think we can survive just fine with stubs of these for now,
especially given that the kernel doesn't care super much about thread
priorities anyway.
This patch adds pthread_key_create() and pthread_{get,set}specific().
There's a maximum of 64 thread-specific keys for simplicity.
Key destructors are not invoked on thread exit.
This feels like a pretty naive implementation, but I think it can work.
Basically each waiter creates an object on its stack that is then
added to a linked list inside by the pthread_cond_t.
Signalling is then done by walking the list and unsetting the "waiting"
flag on as many of the waiters as you like.
Add an initial implementation of pthread attributes for:
* detach state (joinable, detached)
* schedule params (just priority)
* guard page size (as skeleton) (requires kernel support maybe?)
* stack size and user-provided stack location (4 or 8 MB only, must be aligned)
Add some tests too, to the thread test program.
Also, LibC: Move pthread declarations to sys/types.h, where they belong.
Have pthread_create() allocate a stack and passing it to the kernel
instead of this work happening in the kernel. The more of this we can
do in userspace, the better.
This patch also unexposes the raw create_thread() and exit_thread()
syscalls since they are now only used by LibPthread anyway.
This patch adds these API's:
- pthread_mutex_init()
- pthread_mutex_lock()
- pthread_mutex_unlock()
No mutex attributes are supported yet, so we only do the simplest mutex
wihout recursive locking.
It's now possible to block until another thread in the same process has
exited. We can also retrieve its exit value, which is whatever value it
passed to pthread_exit(). :^)
This patch adds pthread_create() and pthread_exit(), which currently
simply wrap our existing create_thread() and exit_thread() syscalls.
LibThread is also ported to using LibPthread.
