# 1.30 01-Aug-2020 wiz

Fix typo in macro and merge to error descriptions for the same error


# 1.29 01-Aug-2020 riastradh

New functions kthread_fpu_enter/exit.

The MI definitions don't do anything but maintain a flag, but MD code
can define kthread_fpu_enter/exit_md to actually enable/disable the
FPU. (These are almost pcu_load/discard on systems that use pcu(9),
except they apply to all PCUs.)

Discussed on tech-kern:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2020/06/20/msg026524.html

The proposed kthread flag KTHREAD_FPU is not included because I
couldn't find any particular need for it that would not be covered by
just calling kthread_fpu_enter/exit in the kthread function.

Remove the unused and all-but-unusable kthread_destroy(). Also makes
it more obvious that the opposite of kthread_create() is kthread_exit().

# 1.23 13-May-2010 jruoho

In order to widen the paragraphs, move the newly added list of flags below
the list of function parameters. Add two small sentences to give few more
clues about KTHREAD_JOINABLE. Add a missing prototype for kthread_join().
Also: newpl -> newlp.

Put flags into a list. Bug fixes to kthread_join docs.


# 1.21 12-May-2010 haad

# 1.13 27-Aug-2005 briggs

Mention that a kthread *must* call kthread_exit() to terminate itself
properly. If you don't, the kernel will likely crash.

Use

instead of
.Fd #include \*[Lt]header.h\*[Gt]
Much easier to read and write, and supported by groff for ages.
Okayed by ross.


# 1.10 04-Feb-2003 perry

"Utilize" has exactly the same meaning as "use," but it is more
difficult to read and understand. Most manuals of English style
therefore say that you should use "use".
