    119 The '''thread_kill()''' kernel function can be executed by a thread running in any cluster. It is called by the ''pthread_cancel'' system call, to destroy one single thread, or by the ''kill'' system call, (through the process_kill() function), to destroy all threads of a given process. The killer thread requires the target thread scheduler to do the work by writing in the target thread descriptor, and the target scheduler signals completion to the killer by writing in the killer thread descriptor.
     119The '''thread_kill()''' kernel function is executed by a killer thread that must be different from the target thread, but must run be running in the same cluster as the target thread. This function can be called by the ''pthread_cancel'' system call, to destroy one single thread, or by the ''kill'' system call, (through the process_kill() function), to destroy all threads of a given process. The killer thread requires the target thread scheduler to do the work by writing in the target thread descriptor, and the target scheduler signals completion to the killer by writing in the killer thread descriptor.

    121121 * To request the kill, the killer thread  sets the BLOCKED_GLOBAL bit in the target thread "blocked" field, sets the SIG_KILL bit in the target thread "signals" field, and register in the target thread "kill_xp" field the extended pointer on the killer thread.
