Function rte_ctrl_thread_create has been replaced by rte_thread_create_control,

However the rte_thread API does not provide wrappers for all pthread functions.
This commit introduces equivalent functions for pthread_timedjoin_np,
pthread_getname_np and pthread_cancel.

NAK this series. the rte thread API is not a POSIX emulation API.
the point of EAL is not to require applications to have to conditionally
compile code around the use of EAL API or handle "not supported"
failures it defeats the purpose of being an abstraction library.
Hi,
I understand that these changes may not be the best alternative. But
what other options do we have,
if we are already using functions such as pthread_timedjoin_np? Should
we just keep using them and
treat rte_thread_id.opaque_id as pthread_t?
