Interfaces/features to implement:

- Realtime extensions: priority inheritance.

- Keep a pool of dead LWPs so that we do not have take the full hit of
  _lwp_create() every time pthread_create() is called.

- kill pthread__dbg (pthread_dbg(3) has been removed from base)
Export the guard size of the main thread via vm.guard_size. Add a complementary writable sysctl for the initial guard size of threads created via pthread_create. Let the existing attribut accessors do the right thing. Raise the default guard size for threads to 64KB. 2017-07-02 19:41:32 +03:00			$NetBSD: TODO,v 1.19 2017/07/02 16:41:32 joerg Exp $

Remove the PTHREAD_SA option. If M:N threads is reimplemented it's better off done with a seperate library. 2007-03-02 21:53:51 +03:00

libpthread_dbg(3) deletion from the base distribution libpthread_dbg(3) is a remnant library from the M:N thread model (pre-NetBSD-5.0) API to introspect threads within a process and for use of debuggers. Currently in the 1:1 model it's not used in GDB neither in LLDB and it's not either planned to be used. It's current function to read pthread_t structures is realizable within a regular debugger capable to instrospect objects within a tracee (GDB, LLDB...). Remaining users of this API can still use this library from pkgsrc/devel/libpthread_dbg. Sponsored by <The NetBSD Foundation> 2017-02-08 06:44:40 +03:00
