C11 Thread support library is a portable threading C API between OSs,
similar to std::threads in the C++ world.
The library is implemented as a thin shim over POSIX interfaces.
NetBSD implements the API as a part of the POSIX threading library
(libpthread(3)).
C11 threads(3) are in the process of making them an integral part
of the POSIX standard. The interface has been implemented in major
OSs and used with stopgap libraries for older versions of them.
C11 threading library is already used (with a stopgap implementation)
in the NetBSD distribution in MESA.
Original implementation by myself from 2016.
ATF tests are new and cover almost all interfaces.
Proposed on tech-userlevel@.

functions are used for destructors of thread_local objects.
If a pending destructor exists, prevent unloading of shared objects.
Introduce __dl_cxa_refcount interface for this purpose. When the last
reference is gone and the object has been dlclose'd before, the
unloading is finalized.
Ideally, __cxa_thread_atexit_impl wouldn't exist, but libstdc++ insists
on providing __cxa_thread_atexit as direct wrapper without further
patching.

This test is a clone on t_mutex with additional two tests for timed-mutex
specific block.
All simple-mutex (not with the timed property according to the C11 wording)
specific tests are covered by pthread_mutex_timedlock(3) with parameter
ts_lengthy of sufficiently large tv_sec value (right now UINT16_MAX). If,
a test will hang, it won't wait UINT16_MAX seconds, but will be terminated
within the default timeout for ATF tests (right now 300 [sec] in my
NetBSD/amd64 setup).
This test was inspired by a classic selflock test failure of
pthread_mutex_timedlock(3) of the following form:
#include <assert.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
pthread_mutex_t mtx;
struct timespec ts;
ts.tv_sec = 0;
ts.tv_nsec = 1000;
printf("ts{.tv_sec = %d, .tv_nsec=%ld}\n", ts.tv_sec, ts.tv_nsec);
fflush(stdout);
printf("mtx_init\n");
assert(pthread_mutex_init(&mtx, NULL) == 0);
printf("mtx_lock\n");
assert(pthread_mutex_lock(&mtx) == 0);
printf("mtx_timedlock\n");
assert(pthread_mutex_timedlock(&mtx, &ts) == ETIMEDOUT);
printf("mtx_unlock\n");
assert(pthread_mutex_unlock(&mtx) == 0);
printf("mtx_destroy\n");
assert(pthread_mutex_destroy(&mtx) == 0);
return 0;
}
Current NetBSD implementation wrongly hangs on this test.
The issue was detected during development of the C11 portable threads.
My local tests in chroot presents that the are further issues:
t_timedmutex (21/25): 10 test cases
mutex1: [0.001142s] Failed: /usr/src/tests/lib/libpthread/t_timedmutex.c:75: *param != 20
mutex2: [0.261499s] Passed.
mutex3: [0.261496s] Passed.
mutex4: [0.001204s] Failed: /usr/src/tests/lib/libpthread/t_timedmutex.c:265: pthread_mutex_timedlock(&mutex, &ts_lengthy): Connection timed out
mutex5: [0.001235s] Failed: /usr/src/tests/lib/libpthread/t_timedmutex.c:337: pthread_mutex_timedlock(&mutex5, &ts_lengthy): Connection timed out
mutex6: [21.218497s] Failed: /usr/src/tests/lib/libpthread/t_timedmutex.c:512: start != 1
mutexattr1: [0.001328s] Passed.
mutexattr2: [0.001175s] Passed.
timedmutex1: [301.119397s] Failed: Test case timed out after 300 seconds
timedmutex2: [301.123081s] Failed: Test case timed out after 300 seconds
[623.990659s]
I'm also receiveing the same failure in the mutex6 test in t_mutex, so
there might be a false positives due to local chroot(8) issues.

the TLS pointer, therefore wrecking the pthread environement.
Some ports had _UC_TLSBASE flag or equivalent (_UC_UNIQUE on alpha)
that controlled whether setcontext() would change the TLS pointer.
This change let libpthread override setcontext() with its own version
that unsets _UC_TLSBASE, enabling safe usage of setcontext() with
-lpthread.
We also have the following required changes here:
- rename alpha's _UC_UNIQUE into _UC_TLSBASE
- add _UC_TLSBASE definition in header file for all ports
(powerpc, sh3, sparc and sparc64 lack the implementation for now)
- introduce a libc stub that can be overriden for setcontext()
- modify MD libcs swapcontext() implementations so that they use the
setcontext() libc stub instead of doing a plain system call.
While we are there:
- document various MD _UC_* flags in header file
- add libc and libpthread tests for swapcontext() behavior
(hopefully helpful to spot MD problems introduced with this change)
Future work:
- Deciding whether kernel support or _UC_TLSBASE should be added for
powerpc, sh3, sparc and sparc64 is left to portmasters
sparc64

Initial work from the GSoC 2008 project by Lukasz Strzygowski.
I think that this, together with the previous conversion of librt, obsoletes
the tests in the semaphore/ directory. Will investigate later.
