CVS commit: [nathanw_sa] syssrc/sys

[Nathan J Williams <nathanw%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    syssrc
Committed By:   nathanw
Date:           Mon Jan 28 18:29:53 UTC 2002

Modified Files:
        syssrc/sys/kern [nathanw_sa]: init_sysent.c kern_lwp.c syscalls.c
            syscalls.master
        syssrc/sys/sys [nathanw_sa]: syscall.h syscallargs.h

Log Message:
Add a system call, _lwp_wakeup(), to wake up LWPs that are sleeping
interruptably. This is necessary when another thread has requested the
cancellation of a thread that is sleeping in the kernel.

This interface is slightly klugey. It might be better handled with a _lwp_kill()
interface, but that requires all of the machinery to deliver signals to
individual LWPs, which is large, complicated, and not clearly necessary.
