/* BORKAGE/ISSUES as of 29 May 02

- Currently, when a signal is run, just the ThreadStatus.status fields 
  are saved in the signal frame, along with the CPU state.  Question: 
  should I also save and restore:
     ThreadStatus.joiner 
     ThreadStatus.waited_on_mid
     ThreadStatus.awaken_at
     ThreadStatus.retval
  Currently unsure, and so am not doing so.

- Signals interrupting read/write and nanosleep: SA_RESTART settings.
  Read/write correctly return with EINTR when SA_RESTART isn't
  specified and they are interrupted by a signal.  nanosleep just
  pretends signals don't exist -- should be fixed.

- So, what's the deal with signals and mutexes?  If a thread is
  blocked on a mutex, or for a condition variable for that matter, can
  signals still be delivered to it?  This has serious consequences --
  deadlocks, etc.

- Signals still not really right.  Each thread should have its
  own pending-set, but there is just one process-wide pending set.

  TODO for valgrind-1.0:

- Update assertion checking in scheduler_sanity().

  TODO sometime:

- poll() in the vg_libpthread.c -- should it handle the nanosleep
  being interrupted by a signal?  Ditto accept?

- Mutex scrubbing - clearup_after_thread_exit: look for threads
  blocked on mutexes held by the exiting thread, and release them
  appropriately. (??)

- pthread_atfork

   It might seem odd that a thread which has done a blocking syscall
   is not in WaitFD state; the way this can happen is if it initially
   becomes WaitFD, but then a signal is delivered to it, so it becomes
   Runnable for a while.  In this case we have to wait for the
   sighandler to return, whereupon the WaitFD state is resumed, and
   only at that point can the I/O result be delivered to it.  However,
   this point may be long after the fd is actually ready.  

   So, poll_for_ready_fds() merely detects fds which are ready.
   complete_blocked_syscalls() does the second half of the trick,
   possibly much later: it delivers the results from ready fds to
   threads in WaitFD state.

/* pthread_mutex_t is a struct with at 5 words:

        int __m_reserved;         -- Reserved for future use
        int __m_count;            -- Depth of recursive locking
        _pthread_descr __m_owner; -- Owner thread (if recursive or errcheck)
        int __m_kind;      -- Mutex kind: fast, recursive or errcheck
        struct _pthread_fastlock __m_lock;  -- Underlying fast lock
      } pthread_mutex_t;

   #define PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER \
     {0, 0, 0, PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP, __LOCK_INITIALIZER}
   # define PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP \
     {0, 0, 0, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP, __LOCK_INITIALIZER}
   # define PTHREAD_ERRORCHECK_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP \
     {0, 0, 0, PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, __LOCK_INITIALIZER}
   # define PTHREAD_ADAPTIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP \
     {0, 0, 0, PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP, __LOCK_INITIALIZER}

   How we use it:

   __m_kind  never changes and indicates whether or not it is recursive.

   __m_count indicates the lock count; if 0, the mutex is not owned by 
             anybody.  

   __m_owner has a ThreadId value stuffed into it.  We carefully arrange 
             that ThreadId == 0 is invalid (VG_INVALID_THREADID), so that
             statically initialised mutexes correctly appear 
             to belong to nobody.

   In summary, a not-in-use mutex is distinguised by having __m_owner
   == 0 (VG_INVALID_THREADID) and __m_count == 0 too.  If one of those
   conditions holds, the other should too.

   There is no linked list of threads waiting for this mutex.  Instead
   a thread in WaitMX state points at the mutex with its waited_on_mx
   field.  This makes _unlock() inefficient, but simple to implement the
   right semantics viz-a-viz signals.

   We don't have to deal with mutex initialisation; the client side
   deals with that for us.
