 The destruction of a target thread T can be caused by another thread K, executing  the ''pthread_cancel()'' sys call requesting the target thread T to stop execution. It can be caused by the thread T itself, executing the ''pthread_exit()'' sys call to suicide. Finally, it can be caused by the ''exit()'' or ''kill()'' syscalls requesting the destruction of all threads of a given process.    
 
-The unique method to destroy a thread is to call the '''thread_kill()''' function, that set the THREAD_FLAG_REQ_DELETE bit in the ''flags'' field of the target thread descriptor. The thread will be asynchronously deleted by the scheduler at the next scheduling point,
-that calls the ''thread_destroy()'' function. This function detach the thread from the scheduler, detach the thread from the local process descriptor, and releases the memory allocated to the thread descriptor. The '''thread_kill()''' function can be called by the target thread itself (for an exit), or by another thread (for a kill).

    * If the FLAG_KILL_DONE is set, the K thread arrived first and is blocked on the BLOCKED_JOIN condition: the J thread unblocks the killer thread, reset the FLAF_KILL_DONE in the T thread, releases the "join_lock" in T thread, and returns. 
    * If the FLAG_KILL_DONE is not set, the J thread arrived first: the J thread register its extended pointer in the T thread "join_xp" field, set the FLAG_JOIN_DONE in the T thread, sets the BLOCKED_EXIT bit in the J thread, releases the "join_lock" in the T thread, and deschedules. It simply returns when it is unblocked by the K thread.
