33 *          This file defines a POSIX compliant condvar.
34 *
35 * It is used by multi-threaded applications to synchronise threads running in
36 * different clusters, as all access functions uses hal_remote_lw() / hal_remote_sw()
37 * portable remote access primitives.
38 *
39 * A condvar is declared by a given user process as a "pthread_cond_t" global variable.
40 * This user type is implemented as an unsigned long, but the value is not used by the
41 * kernel. ALMOS-MKH uses only the condvar virtual address as an identifier.
42 * For each user condvar, ALMOS-MKH creates a kernel "remote_condvar_t" structure,
43 * dynamically allocated in the reference cluster by the remote_condvar_create() function,
44 * and destroyed by the remote_condvar_destroy() function, using RPC if the calling
45 * thread is not running in the reference cluster. The synchronisation is done by the
46 * remote_condvar_wait(), remote_condvar_signal(), remote_convar_broadcast() functions.

51 * - It contains an xlist of all condvars dynamically created by a given process,
52 *   rooted in the reference process descriptor.
53 * - It contains also the root of another xlist of all threads waiting on the condvar,
54 *   resumed by a remote_condvar_signal(), or remote_condvar_broadcast().
