* barrier.c: Fix several bugs in all routines. Now passes
tests/barrier5.c which is fairly rigorous. There is still
a non-optimal work-around for a race condition between
the barrier breeched event signal and event wait. Basically
the last (signalling) thread to hit the barrier yields
to allow any other threads, which may have lost the race,
to complete.
tests/ChangeLog:
* barrier3.c: Fixed.
* barrier4.c: Fixed.
* barrier5.c: New; proves that all threads in the group
reaching the barrier wait and then resume together. Repeats
the test using groups of 1 to 16 threads. Each group of
threads must negotiate a large number of barriers (10000).
* spin4.c: Fixed.
* test.h (error_string): Modified the success (0) value.

* condvar.c: Fixed lost signal bug reported by Timur Aydin
(taydin@snet.net).
[RPJ (me) didn't translate the original algorithm
correctly.]
* semaphore.c: Added sem_post_multiple; this is a useful
routine, but it doesn't appear to be standard. For now it's
not an exported function.

* create.c (pthread_create): Add priority inheritance
attributes.
* mutex.c (pthread_mutex_lock): Remove some overhead for
PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL mutex types. Specifically, avoid
calling pthread_self() and pthread_equal() to check/set
the mutex owner. Introduce a new pseudo owner for this
type. Test results suggest increases in speed of up to
90% for non-blocking locks.
This is the default type of mutex used internally by other
synchronising objects, ie. condition variables and
read-write locks. The test rwlock7.c shows about a
30-35% speed increase over snapshot 2001-06-06. The
price of this is that the application developer
must ensure correct behaviour, or explicitly set the
mutex to a safer type such as PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK.
For example, PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL (or PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT)
type mutexes will not return an error if a thread which is not
the owner calls pthread_mutex_unlock. The call will succeed
in unlocking the mutex if it is currently locked, but a
subsequent unlock by the true owner will then fail with EPERM.
This is however consistent with some other implementations.
(pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise.
(pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise.
(pthread_mutex_destroy): Likewise.
* attr.c (pthread_attr_init): PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED is the
default inheritance attribute; THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL is
the default priority for new threads.
* sched.c (pthread_attr_setschedpolicy): Added routine.
(pthread_attr_getschedpolicy): Added routine.
(pthread_attr_setinheritsched): Added routine.
(pthread_attr_getinheritsched): Added routine.
* pthread.h (sched_rr_set_interval): Added as a macro;
returns -1 with errno set to ENOSYS.

*sched.c (pthread_attr_setschedparam): Add priority range
check.
(sched_setscheduler): New function; checks for a valid
pid and policy; checks for permission to set information
in the target process; expects pid to be a Win32 process ID,
not a process handle; the only scheduler policy allowed is
SCHED_OTHER.
(sched_getscheduler): Likewise, but checks for permission
to query.
* pthread.h (SCHED_*): Moved to sched.h as defined in the
POSIX standard.
* sched.h (SCHED_*): Moved from pthread.h.
(pid_t): Defined if necessary.
(sched_setscheduler): Defined.
(sched_getscheduler): Defined.
* pthread.def (sched_setscheduler): Exported.
(sched_getscheduler): Likewise.

* create.c (pthread_create): Set thread priority from
thread attributes.

* dll.c (dllMain): Moved UWIN process attach code
to pthread_win32_process_attach_np(); moved
instance of pthread_count to global.c.
* global.c (pthread_count): Moved from dll.c.
* nonportable.c (pthread_win32_process_attach_np):
Moved _UWIN code to here from dll.c.
* implement.h (pthread_count): Define extern int.
* create.c (pthread_count): Remove extern int.
* private.c (pthread_count): Likewise.
* exit.c (pthread_count): Likewise.

* dll.c: Added changes necessary to work with UWIN.
* create.c: Likewise.
* pthread.h: Likewise.
* misc.c: Likewise.
* exit.c: Likewise.
* private.c: Likewise.
* implement.h: Likewise.
There is some room at the start of struct pthread_t_
to implement the signal semantics in UWIN's posix.dll
although this is not yet complete.
* Nmakefile: Compatible with UWIN's Nmake utility.
* Nmakefile.tests: Likewise - for running the tests.
