-  /* The generic logic for pthread_join and stack/descriptor reuse is
-     based on the Linux kernel feature that will clear and futex-wake
-     a designated address as a final part of thread teardown.  Correct
-     synchronization relies on the fact that these happen only after
-     there is no possibility of user code touching or examining the
-     late thread's stack.
-
-     The NaCl system interface implements half of this: it clears a
-     word after the thread's user stack is safely dead, but it does
-     not futex-wake the location.  So, some shenanigans are required.
-     We change and futex-wake the location here, so as to wake up any
-     blocked pthread_join (i.e. lll_wait_tid) or pthread_timedjoin_np
-     (i.e. lll_timedwait_tid).  However, that's before we have safely
-     vacated the stack.  So instead of clearing the location, we set
-     it to a special magic value, NACL_EXITING_TID.  This counts as a
-     "live thread" value for all the generic logic, but is recognized
-     specially in lll_wait_tid and lll_timedwait_tid (lowlevellock.h).
-     Once it has this value, lll_wait_tid will busy-wait for the
-     location to be cleared to zero by the NaCl system code.  Only then
-     is the stack actually safe to reuse.  */
