and use it preferentially to a value in pt_uc, clearing it once on the new
stack. Move stores into pt_uc back to before the stack switch; storing
after the stack switch opened a one-instruction race condition where an upcall
that had just started a chain could be preempted again, and would bomb when
restarted due to its pt_uc not yet having been updated. Now that pt_trapuc
is what the upcall code writes to, it is safe to store to pt_uc before
switching stacks.

Together with the previous pthread_switch.S changes, this fixes a couple of

and by switching to empty pt_switchtouc's.
* In switch-away cases, write PT_SWITCHTO last (after PT_SWITCHTOUC), so
that pthread__resolve_locks() doesn't see an empty SWITCHTOUC value. This
also permits pthread__resolve_locks() to use the presence of PT_SWITCHTO
as a sign that the thread has done all of its necessary chain work.
* Make the return-point of pthread__switch global and visible, so that its
address can be compared to the PC of a thread, again as a sign that its
chain-work is done.

* Use a double-checked locking technique to avoid taking

* In pthread_mutex_lock() and pthread_mutex_trylock(), only store the

* Juggle where pthread__self() is called, to move it out of the fast path.
Overall, this means that neither pthread_self() nor
pthread_spin[un]lock() are used in the course of locking and unlocking
an uncontested mutex. Speeds up the fast path by 40-50%, and
eliminates about 98% of spinlocks used by a couple of large threaded
applications.
(Still a GET_MUTEX_PRIVATE() in the fast path... perhaps the type
should be in the main body of the mutex).

by adding a generation number to the barrier structure and incrementing it
when the barrier fires.
XXX this is an ABI change for anything using barriers, but the library is
new enough and nothing in the tree uses barriers so I'm going to let it
slide. Using the private data pointer for a field that will always be present
would be excessive.
- Signal handlers now simply continue executing the current thread,
rather than trying to put themselves back on the queue that they came
from, which was rather fragile. As a result, all callers of
pthread__block() must be prepared to handle spurious wakeups.
- When a signal arrives for a thread that is blocked in the kernel,
note this in another field in pthread_st and set a flag. Process the
signal and set up the trampoline for the handler *after* the thread
unblocks, so that both the trampoline and the returned state from
the kernel are preserved.
- Factor out some code into a pthread__deliver_signal() routine;
the signal-taking code in pthread_sigmask() should be able to use this
soon.
This is still gross, and there are still some terrible MP issues lurking here,
but progress crawls along.

Cuts down lock/unlock pairs for this operation from 256 to the number
of active TSD entries; sicne this is done when every thread exits, it saves
many total lock/unlock pairs.
