  /* 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.  */

     be touched again.  Unfortunately, it does not also do a
     futex-wake at that time (as Linux does via CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
     and set_tid_address).  So lll_wait_tid does some busy-waiting.  */
