There's also something else that would be a nice addition to the kernel
API. A sleep and wakeup that is implemented without signals. Similar to
what the kernel does with wake_up. That way you can sleep till another
process/thread is done with what it was doing and wake up the other task
when done, without the use of signals. Or is there something that
already does this?
For between threads, this is what the POSIX pthread API is for
(pthread_cond_wait and friends) which is implemented using futexes these
days..
