|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/thr.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn thr_new "struct thr_param *param" "int param_size"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Bf -symbolic
|
|
This function is intended for implementing threading.
|
|
Normal applications should call
|
|
.Xr pthread_create 3
|
|
instead.
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn thr_new
|
|
system call creates a new kernel-scheduled thread of execution in the context
|
|
of the current process.
|
|
The newly created thread shares all attributes of the process with the
|
|
existing kernel-scheduled threads in the process, but has private processor
|
|
execution state.
|
|
The machine context for the new thread is copied from the creating thread's
|
|
context, including coprocessor state.
|
|
FPU state and specific machine registers are excluded from the copy.
|
|
These are set according to ABI requirements and syscall parameters.
|
|
The FPU state for the new thread is reinitialized to clean.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa param
|
|
structure supplies parameters affecting the thread creation.
|
|
The structure is defined in the
|
|
.In sys/thr.h
|
|
header as follows
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct thr_param {
|
|
void (*start_func)(void *);
|
|
void *arg;
|
|
char *stack_base;
|
|
size_t stack_size;
|
|
char *tls_base;
|
|
size_t tls_size;
|
|
long *child_tid;
|
|
long *parent_tid;
|
|
int flags;
|
|
struct rtprio *rtp;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
and contains the following fields:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va parent_tid"
|
|
.It Va start_func
|
|
Pointer to the thread entry function.
|
|
The kernel arranges for the new thread to start executing the function
|
|
upon the first return to userspace.
|
|
.It Va arg
|
|
Opaque argument supplied to the entry function.
|
|
.It Va stack_base
|
|
Stack base address.
|
|
The stack must be allocated by the caller.
|
|
On some architectures, the ABI might require that the system put information
|
|
on the stack to ensure the execution environment for
|
|
.Va start_func .
|
|
.It Va stack_size
|
|
Stack size.
|
|
.It Va tls_base
|
|
TLS base address.
|
|
The value of TLS base is loaded into the ABI-defined machine register
|
|
in the new thread context.
|
|
.It Va tls_size
|
|
TLS size.
|
|
.It Va child_tid
|
|
Address to store the new thread identifier, for the child's use.
|
|
.It Va parent_tid
|
|
Address to store the new thread identifier, for the parent's use.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Both
|
|
.Va child_tid
|
|
and
|
|
.Va parent_tid
|
|
are provided, with the intent that
|
|
.Va child_tid
|
|
is used by the new thread to get its thread identifier without
|
|
issuing the
|
|
.Xr thr_self 2
|
|
syscall, while
|
|
.Va parent_tid
|
|
is used by the thread creator.
|
|
The latter is separate from
|
|
.Va child_tid
|
|
because the new thread might exit and free its thread data before the parent
|
|
has a chance to execute far enough to access it.
|
|
.It Va flags
|
|
Thread creation flags.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va flags
|
|
member may specify the following flags:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv THR_SYSTEM_SCOPE"
|
|
.It Dv THR_SUSPENDED
|
|
Create the new thread in the suspended state.
|
|
The flag is not currently implemented.
|
|
.It Dv THR_SYSTEM_SCOPE
|
|
Create the system scope thread.
|
|
The flag is not currently implemented.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Va rtp
|
|
Real-time scheduling priority for the new thread.
|
|
May be
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
to inherit the priority from the
|
|
creating thread.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa param_size
|
|
argument should be set to the size of the
|
|
.Fa param
|
|
structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the first successful creation of an additional thread,
|
|
the process is marked by the kernel as multi-threaded.
|
|
In particular, the
|
|
.Dv P_HADTHREADS
|
|
flag is set in the process'
|
|
.Dv p_flag
|
|
(visible in the
|
|
.Xr ps 1
|
|
output), and several operations are executed in multi-threaded mode.
|
|
For instance, the
|
|
.Xr execve 2
|
|
system call terminates all threads but the calling one on successful
|
|
execution.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful,
|
|
.Fn thr_new
|
|
will return zero, otherwise \-1 is returned, and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn thr_new
|
|
operation returns the following errors:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.\" When changing this list, consider updating share/man/man3/pthread_create.3,
|
|
.\" since that function can return any of these errors.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT

|
|

|
|

|
.Fa param

|

|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT

|

|
|

|
|

|
|
.Fa param_size
|
|

|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
