LinuxThreads is an POSIX pthreads implementation using "kernel threads". In
|
|
this FreeBSD port, a kernel thread is started using rfork (whereas in the
|
|
original Linux implementation a kernel thread is started using the Linux clone
|
|
call). This implementation provides a so-called one-to-one mapping of threads to
|
|
kernel schedulable entities. For more information see about the original
|
|
LinuxThreads implementation see:

|
|
|
|
Note that LinuxThreads has been integrated with the GNU C library (glibc) since
|
|
version 2.0, so the above URL points to dated information.
|
|
|
|
The complete FreeBSD source code matching the installed userland
|
|
must be installed in /usr/src before building linuxthreads.
