in-kernel priority is used. Reported by <drochner>.
Minor fixes for scheduling calls to conform the POSIX:
- If pid is equal to zero, use the calling process;
- In case of permission problem, return EPERM instead of EACESS;
- sched_setscheduler() should return previously used policy;
- pthread_* calls should return the error code or zero;
Should fix the namespace problems (and builds of some packages):
- Move cpuset_t defintion from pset.h to sched.h;
- Remove the #include of pset.h in pthread.h;
Add schedctl(8) - a program to control scheduling of processes and threads.
Notes:
- This is supported only by SCHED_M2;
- Migration of LWP mechanism will be revisited;
Proposed on: <tech-kern>. Reviewed by: <ad>.
- Add new functions: pthread_mutex_held_np, mutex_owner_np, rwlock_held_np,
rwlock_wrheld_np, rwlock_rdheld_np. These match the kernel's locking
primitives and can be used when porting kernel code to userspace.
- Always create LWPs detached. Do join/exit sync mostly in userland. When
looped on a dual core box this seems ~30% quicker than using lwp_wait().
Reduce number of lock acquire/release ops during thread exit.
scheduling stuff: only handle SCHED_OTHER. Like the rest of the scheduling
stuff, this is for the benefit of code that can't be bothered to test against
_POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING.

XXX as noted in the comments, in the situations where these are
useful, they should never be called in a single-threaded
process. Perhaps they should die rather than return 0.

functions "defensively" to not need to link against libpthread and not need
to be patched to the threadlib.h API.

Remove a few limit-indicating symbols that don't actually need to be defined
(and if they did need to be defined, it would be in limits.h, not here).

In addition to being query'able by the application (for log messages, etc.),
it is intended that these names can show up in the debugger.

- remove argument variable names since they pollute the namespace
- add mock implementation of the missing stack functions
XXX: we need to do this right [i.e. actually get and set sizes and addresses]
but the current stack setup makes this a bit complicated.
