o Use a daemon thread to monitor signal events in kernel, if pending
signals were changed in kernel, it will retrieve the pending set and
try to find a thread to dispatch the signal. The dispatching process
can be rolled back if the signal is no longer in kernel.

o Create two functions _thr_signal_init() and _thr_signal_deinit(),
all signal action settings are retrieved from kernel when threading
mode is turned on, after a fork(), child process will reset them to
user settings by calling _thr_signal_deinit(). when threading mode
is not turned on, all signal operations are direct past to kernel.

o When a thread generated a synchoronous signals and its context returned
from completed list, UTS will retrieve the signal from its mailbox and try
to deliver the signal to thread.

o Context signal mask is now only used when delivering signals, thread's
current signal mask is always the one in pthread structure.

o Remove have_signals field in pthread structure, replace it with
psf_valid in pthread_signal_frame. when psf_valid is true, in context
switch time, thread will backout itself from some mutex/condition
internal queues, then begin to process signals. when a thread is not
at blocked state and running, check_pending indicates there are signals
for the thread, after preempted and then resumed time, UTS will try to
deliver signals to the thread.

o At signal delivering time, not only pending signals in thread will be
scanned, process's pending signals will be scanned too.

o Change sigwait code a bit, remove field sigwait in pthread_wait_data,
replace it with oldsigmask in pthread structure, when a thread calls
sigwait(), its current signal mask is backuped to oldsigmask, and waitset
is copied to its signal mask and when the thread gets a signal in the
waitset range, its current signal mask is restored from oldsigmask,
these are done in atomic fashion.

o Two additional POSIX APIs are implemented, sigwaitinfo() and sigtimedwait().

o Signal code locking is better than previous, there is fewer race conditions.

o Temporary disable most of code in _kse_single_thread as it is not safe
after fork().


# 116059 08-Jun-2003 deischen

Provide a reference to __sys_write. The implementation uses this when
debugging is enabled so the symbol needs to be resolved before rtld
locking is enabled. I may not really know what I'm talking about,
but it works.

# 115399 30-May-2003 kan

Attempt to eliminate PLT relocations from rwlock aquire/release
path, making them suitable for direct use by the dynamic loader.

Register libpthread-specific locking API with rtld on startup.

This still has some rough edges with signals which should be
addresses later.
