Ulrich Drepper 1d2fc9b3c5 Redesigned how cancellation unblocks a thread from internal cancellation points (sem_wait, pthread_join, pthread_cond_{wait,timedwait}). Cancellation won't eat a signal in any of these functions (*required* by POSIX and Single Unix Spec!).

	Redesigned how cancellation unblocks a thread from internal
	cancellation points (sem_wait, pthread_join,
	pthread_cond_{wait,timedwait}).
	Cancellation won't eat a signal in any of these functions
	(*required* by POSIX and Single Unix Spec!).
	* condvar.c: spontaneous wakeup on pthread_cond_timedwait won't eat a
	simultaneous condition variable signal (not required by POSIX
	or Single Unix Spec, but nice).
	* spinlock.c: __pthread_lock queues back any received restarts
	that don't belong to it instead of assuming ownership of lock
	upon any restart; fastlock can no longer be acquired by two threads
	simultaneously.
	* restart.h: restarts queue even on kernels that don't have
	queued real time signals (2.0, early 2.1), thanks to atomic counter,
	avoiding a rare race condition in pthread_cond_timedwait.

/* The status field of a fastlock has the following meaning:
0: fastlock is free
1: fastlock is taken, no thread is waiting on it
ADDR: fastlock is taken, ADDR is address of thread descriptor for
first waiting thread, other waiting threads are linked via
their p_nextlock field.
The waiting list is not sorted by priority order.
Actually, we always insert at top of list (sole insertion mode
that can be performed without locking).
For __pthread_unlock, we perform a linear search in the list

This is safe because there are no concurrent __pthread_unlock

- We test and set the spinlock MAX_SPIN_COUNT times, calling
sched_yield() each time. This gives ample opportunity for other
threads with priority >= our priority to make progress and
release the spinlock.
- If a thread with priority < our priority owns the spinlock,
calling sched_yield() repeatedly is useless, since we're preventing
the owning thread from making progress and releasing the spinlock.
So, after MAX_SPIN_LOCK attemps, we suspend the calling thread
using nanosleep(). This again should give time to the owning thread
for releasing the spinlock.
Notice that the nanosleep() interval must not be too small,
since the kernel does busy-waiting for short intervals in a realtime
process (!). The smallest duration that guarantees thread
suspension is currently 2ms.
- When nanosleep() returns, we try again, doing MAX_SPIN_COUNT
sched_yield(), then sleeping again if needed. */
