Modified files:
sys/sys proc.h
sys/kern kern_thread.c
Log:
Solve a complex exit race introduced with thread_lock:
- Add a count of exiting threads, p_exitthreads, to struct proc.
- Increment p_exithreads when we set the deadthread in thread_exit().
- When we thread_stash() a deadthread use an atomic to drop the count.
- Spin until the p_exithreads count reaches 0 in thread_wait().
- Lock the last exiting thread momentarily to be certain that it has
exited cpu_throw().
- Restructure thread_wait(). It does not need a loop as there will only
ever be one thread.
I think I was being paranoid.. also called "being on the safe side".
