+ + * pthread_mutex_lock.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Separate PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
+ logic since we do not need to keep or check some state required by other
+ mutex types; do not check mutex pointer arg for validity - leave this to
+ the system since we are only checking for NULL pointers. This should improve
+ speed of NORMAL mutexes and marginally improve speed of other type.
+ * pthread_mutex_trylock.c (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise.
+ * pthread_mutex_unlock.c (pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise; also avoid
+ entering the critical section for the no-waiters case, with approx. 30%
+ reduction in lock/unlock overhead for this case..
+ * pthread_mutex_timedlock.c (pthread_mutex_timedlock): Likewise; also
+ no longer keeps mutex if post-timeout second attempt succeeds - this will
+ assist applications that wish to impose strict lock deadlines, rather than
+ simply to escape from frozen locks.

- * pthread.h (struct pthread_once_t_): Qualify the 'done' element - as 'volatile'. - * pthread_once.c: Concerned about possible race condition, - specifically on MPU systems re concurrent access to multibyte types. - [Maintainer's note: the race condition is harmless on SPU systems - and only a problem on MPU systems if concurrent access results in an - exception (presumably generated by a hardware interrupt). There are - other instances of similar harmless race conditions that have not been - identified as issues.] + * pthread.h (struct pthread_once_t_): Qualify the 'done' element
