libpthread: Use __nothing, not /* nothing */, for empty macros.

No functional change intended -- just safer to do it this way in case
the macros are used in if branches or comma expressions.

libpthread: New pthread__smt_wait to put CPU in low power for spin.

This is now distinct from pthread__smt_pause, which is for spin lock
backoff with no paired wakeup.

On Arm, there is a single-bit event register per CPU, and there are two
instructions to manage it:
- wfe, wait for event -- if event register is clear, enter low power
  mode and wait until event register is set; then exit low power mode
  and clear event register
- sev, signal event -- sets event register on all CPUs (other
  circumstances like interrupts also set the event register and cause
  wfe to wake)

These can be used to reduce the power consumption of spinning for a
lock, but only if they are actually paired -- if there's no sev, wfe
might hang indefinitely.  Currently only pthread_spin(3) actually
pairs them; the other lock primitives (internal lock, mutex, rwlock)
do not -- they have spin lock backoff loops, but no corresponding
wakeup to cancel a wfe.

It may be worthwhile to teach the other lock primitives to pair
wfe/sev, but that requires some performance measurement to verify
it's actually worthwhile.  So for now, we just make sure not to use
wfe when there's no sev, and keep everything else the same -- this
should fix severe performance degredation in libpthread on Arm
without hurting anything else.

No change in the generated code on amd64 and i386.  No change in the
generated code for pthread_spin.c on arm and aarch64 -- changes only
the generated code for pthread_lock.c, pthread_mutex.c, and
pthread_rwlock.c, as intended.

Rebase to HEAD as of a few days ago.

for a reference, the tree before this commit was tagged
as yamt-pagecache-tag8.

this commit was splitted into small chunks to avoid
a limitation of cvs.  ("Protocol error: too many arguments")

Use the thumb1 versions of sev/wfe for thumb && armv6+.
if using armv5t don't do anything for thumb.

Use .inst instead of wfe/sev to shut up gas.

Add a pthread__smt_wake and add support for it on arm along with
pthread__smt_pause.  These are implemented using the ARM instructions
SEV (wake) and WFE (pause).  These are treated as NOPs on ARM CPUs that
don't support them.

make pthread__sp unsigned long.

Remove unused code that's confusing when using cscope/opengrok.

Remove leading __ from __(const|inline|signed|volatile) -- it is obsolete.

Merge the nathanw_sa branch.

Add _INITCONTEXT_U_MD() code that sets up the PC or CPSR.

Adjust PTHREAD_UCONTEXT_TO_REG() to set a plausable value in
reg->r_cpsr when _UC_USER is set in the ucontext; otherwise, GDB gets
very confused and thinks it's dealing with 26-bit ARM state.

Update for mcontext_t changes.

Add glue for libpthread_dbg.

First cut at machine-dependent pthread bits for ARM.

file pthread_md.h was initially added on branch nathanw_sa.
