which is rather tightly coupled with GNU libc, unlike the older version of this port. LinuxThreads has added many features since it was integrated with GNU libc, which means that a number of interfaces that were borrowed from libc_r are no longer needed. This updated port required a lot of reworking of the port, so there are likely to be new bugs.

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 implementaion 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.
