Correctly set a threads signal mask while it is executing a signal
handler. The mask should be the union of its current mask, the
signal being handled, and the mask from the signal action.

Don't install and start the scheduling timer until the
first thread is created. This prevents the overhead of
having a periodic scheduling signal in a single threaded
program. Reported by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>.
Allow builtin longjmps out of application installed
signal handlers without the need perform any post-handler
cleanup:
o Change signal handling to save the threads interrupted
context on the stack. The threads current context is
now always stored in the same place (in the pthread).
If and when a signal handler returns, the interrupted
context is copied back to the storage area in the pthread.
o Before calling invoking a signal handler for a thread,
back the thread out of any internal waiting queues
(mutex, CV, join, etc) to which it belongs.
Rework uthread_info.c a bit to make it easier to change
the format of a thread dump.
Use an alternal signal stack for the thread library's
signal handler. This allows us to fiddle with the main
threads stack without fear of it being in use.

thread switches should be on par with that under scheduler
activations.
o Timing is achieved through the use of a fixed interval
timer (ITIMER_PROF) to count scheduling ticks instead
of retrieving the time-of-day upon every thread switch
and calculating elapsed real time.
o Polling for I/O readiness is performed once for each
scheduling tick instead of every thread switch.
o The non-signal saving/restoring versions of setjmp/longjmp
are used to save and restore thread contexts. This may
allow the removal of _THREAD_SAFE macros from setjmp()
and longjmp() - needs more investigation.
Change signal handling so that signals are handled in the
context of the thread that is receiving the signal. When
signals are dispatched to a thread, a special signal handling
frame is created on top of the target threads stack. The
frame contains the threads saved state information and a new
context in which the thread can run. The applications signal
handler is invoked through a wrapper routine that knows how
to restore the threads saved state and unwind to previous
frames.
Fix interruption of threads due to signals. Some states
were being improperly interrupted while other states were
not being interrupted. This should fix several PRs.
Signal handlers, which are invoked as a result of a process
signal (not by pthread_kill()), are now called with the
code (or siginfo_t if SA_SIGINFO was set in sa_flags) and
sigcontext_t as received from the process signal handler.
Modify the search for a thread to which a signal is delivered.
The search algorithm is now:
o First thread found in sigwait() with signal in wait mask.
o First thread found sigsuspend()'d on the signal.
o Current thread if signal is unmasked.
o First thread found with signal unmasked.
Collapse machine dependent support into macros defined in
pthread_private.h. These should probably eventually be moved
into separate MD files.
Change the range of settable priorities to be compliant with
POSIX (0-31). The threads library uses higher priorities
internally for real-time threads (not yet implemented) and
threads executing signal handlers. Real-time threads and
threads running signal handlers add 64 and 32, respectively,
to a threads base priority.

not have a user-supplied signal handler, when a signal is delivered, one
thread will receive the signal, and then the code reverts to having no
signal handler for the signal. This can leave the other sigwait()ing
threads stranded permanently if the signal is later ignored, or can result
in process termination when the process should have delivered the signal to
one of the threads in sigwait().
To fix this problem, maintain a count of sigwait()ers for each signal that
has no default signal handler. Use the count to correctly install/uninstall
dummy signal handlers.

not allowed to return EINTR, but use of pthread_suspend_np() could cause
EINTR to be returned. To fix this, restructure pthread_suspend_np() so that
it does not interrupt a thread that is waiting on a mutex or condition, and
keep enough state around that pthread_resume_np() can fix things up
afterwards.
