SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/param.h>
#include <sys/proc.h>
void
thread_exit(void);
DESCRIPTION
Thethread_exit()
function implements the machine independent prelude to a thread shutdown. It
will not return, and will result in a call to
mi_switch(9) to schedule some other thread.
thread_exit()
arranges to free all the resources of the thread, specifically the kernel
stack.
To protect the
runqueue(9),
thread_exit()
must be called with the sched_lock mutex held.
