From a138179a59d47690b069fbded1be12f47648ef07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elizabeth Figura Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2024 13:34:56 -0600 Subject: ntsync: Introduce alertable waits. NT waits can optionally be made "alertable". This is a special channel for thread wakeup that is mildly similar to SIGIO. A thread has an internal single bit of "alerted" state, and if a thread is alerted while an alertable wait, the wait will return a special value, consume the "alerted" state, and will not consume any of its objects. Alerts are implemented using events; the user-space NT emulator is expected to create an internal ntsync event for each thread and pass that event to wait functions.
