/* 
   Overview

   Valgrind tries to emulate the kernel's threading as closely as
   possible.  The client does all threading via the normal syscalls
   (on Linux: clone, etc).  Valgrind emulates this by creating exactly
   the same process structure as would be created without Valgrind.
   There are no extra threads.

   The main difference is that Valgrind only allows one client thread
   to run at once.  This is controlled with the CPU Big Lock,
   "the_BigLock".  Any time a thread wants to run client code or
   manipulate any shared state (which is anything other than its own
   ThreadState entry), it must hold the_BigLock.

   When a thread is about to block in a blocking syscall, it releases
   the_BigLock, and re-takes it when it becomes runnable again (either
   because the syscall finished, or we took a signal).

   VG_(scheduler) therefore runs in each thread.  It returns only when
   the thread is exiting, either because it exited itself, or it was
   told to exit by another thread.

   This file is almost entirely OS-independent.  The details of how
   the OS handles threading and signalling are abstracted away and
   implemented elsewhere.  [Some of the functions have worked their
   way back for the moment, until we do an OS port in earnest...]
