98 * This structure defines a thread descriptor.
99 * It is used for both the user threads and the kernel threads.
100 * In a process, a user thread is identified by a unique TRDID (thread identifier):
101 * - The TRDID 16 LSB bits contain the LTID (Local Thread Index).
102 * - The TRDID 16 MSB bits contain the CXY of cluster containing the thread.
103 * For the main thread the LTID value is always 0, in the owner cluster.
104 * The LTID is used to index the th_tbl[] array in the local process descriptor.
105 * This TRDID is computed by the process_register_thread() function, when the user
106 * thread is registered in the local copy of the process descriptor.
107 *
108 * Implementation notes:
109 *
110 * (1) Don't modify the first 4 fields order, as this order is used by the
111 *     hal_kentry assembly code for the TSAR architectures.
112 *
113 * (2) Most of the thread state is private and accessed only by this thread,
114 *     but some fields are shared, and can be modified by other threads.
115 *     - the "blocked" bit_vector can be modified by another thread
116 *       running in another cluster (using atomic instructions),
117 *       to change this thread scheduling status.
118 *     - the "flags" bit_vector can be modified by another thread
119 *       running in another cluster (using atomic instructions),
120 *       to register requests such as ACK or DELETE.
121 *     - the "join_xp" field can be modified by the joining thread,
122 *       and this rendez-vous is protected by the dedicated "join_lock".
123 *
124 * (3) When this thread is blocked on a shared resource (queuelock, condvar,
125 *     or chdev), it registers in the associated waiting queue, using the
126 *     "wait_list" (local list) or "wait_xlist" (trans-cluster list) fields.
127 *
128 * (4) The thread_info_t structure is defined in the shared_almos.h file in the
129 *     /kernel/syscall/shared_include directory.
