from doc/BRANCHES:
idle lwp, and some changes depending on it.
1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
(cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
2. implement idle lwp.
3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
4. make scheduler(s) modular.
- cv_wait and friends: after resuming execution, check to see if we have
been restarted as a result of cv_signal. If we have, but cannot take
the wakeup (because of eg a pending Unix signal or timeout) then try to
ensure that another LWP sees it. This is necessary because there may
be multiple waiters, and at least one should take the wakeup if possible.
Prompted by a discussion with pooka@.
- typedef struct lwp lwp_t;
- int -> bool, struct lwp -> lwp_t in a few places.
P_*/L_* naming convention, and rename the in-kernel flags to avoid
conflict. (P_ -> PK_, L_ -> LW_ ). Add back the (now unused) LSDEAD
constant.
Restores source compatibility with pre-newlock2 tools like ps or top.
