glibc/manual/threads.texi
Carlos O'Donell ef563f925a Add header and standard information to threads.texi.
The glibc manual uses special annotations to include functions
in the summary chapter. These annotations were missing from the
functions in the threads chapter. This patch adds those special
markers and in turn adds these functions to the summary chapter.

This chapter describes the @glibcadj{} POSIX Thread implementation.

@end menu
@node Thread-specific Data
@section Thread-specific Data
The @glibcadj{} implements functions to allow users to create and manage
data specific to a thread. Such data may be destroyed at thread exit,
if a destructor is provided. The following functions are defined:
@comment pthread.h
@comment POSIX
@deftypefun int pthread_key_create (pthread_key_t *@var{key}, void (*@var{destructor})(void*))
@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
@c pthread_key_create ok
@c KEY_UNUSED ok
@c KEY_USABLE ok
Create a thread-specific data key for the calling thread, referenced by
@var{key}.
Objects declared with the C++11 @code{thread_local} keyword are destroyed
before thread-specific data, so they should not be used in thread-specific
data destructors or even as members of the thread-specific data, since the
latter is passed as an argument to the destructor function.
@end deftypefun
@comment pthread.h
@comment POSIX
@deftypefun int pthread_key_delete (pthread_key_t @var{key})
@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
@c pthread_key_delete ok
@c This uses atomic compare and exchange to increment the seq number
@c after testing it's not a KEY_UNUSED seq number.
@c KEY_UNUSED dup ok
Destroy the thread-specific data @var{key} in the calling thread. The
destructor for the thread-specific data is not called during destruction, nor
is it called during thread exit.
@end deftypefun
@comment pthread.h
@comment POSIX
@deftypefun void *pthread_getspecific (pthread_key_t @var{key})
@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
@c pthread_getspecific ok
Return the thread-specific data associated with @var{key} in the calling
thread.
@end deftypefun
@comment pthread.h
@comment POSIX
@deftypefun int pthread_setspecific (pthread_key_t @var{key}, const void *@var{value})
@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@asunsafe{@asucorrupt{} @ascuheap{}}@acunsafe{@acucorrupt{} @acsmem{}}}
@c pthread_setspecific @asucorrupt @ascuheap @acucorrupt @acsmem
@c a level2 block may be allocated by a signal handler after
@c another call already made a decision to allocate it, thus losing
@c the allocated value. the seq number is updated before the
@c value, which might cause an earlier-generation value to seem
@c current if setspecific is cancelled or interrupted by a signal
@c KEY_UNUSED ok
@c calloc dup @ascuheap @acsmem
Associate the thread-specific @var{value} with @var{key} in the calling thread.
@end deftypefun
@node Non-POSIX Extensions
@section Non-POSIX Extensions
In addition to implementing the POSIX API for threads, @theglibc{} provides
additional functions and interfaces to provide functionality not specified in
the standard.
@menu
* Default Thread Attributes:: Setting default attributes for
threads in a process.
@end menu
@node Default Thread Attributes
@subsection Setting Process-wide defaults for thread attributes
@Theglibc{} provides non-standard API functions to set and get the default
attributes used in the creation of threads in a process.
@comment pthread.h
@comment GNU
@deftypefun int pthread_getattr_default_np (pthread_attr_t *@var{attr})
@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@asunsafe{@asulock{}}@acunsafe{@aculock{}}}
@c Takes lock around read from default_pthread_attr.
Get the default attribute values and set @var{attr} to match. This
function returns @math{0} on success and a non-zero error code on
failure.

Set the default attribute values to match the values in @var{attr}. The
function returns @math{0} on success and a non-zero error code on failure.
The following error codes are defined for this function:
@table @code
@item EINVAL
At least one of the values in @var{attr} does not qualify as valid for the
attributes or the stack address is set in the attribute.
@item ENOMEM
The system does not have sufficient memory.
@end table
