// suspend/resume support

//  The low-level signal-based suspend/resume support is a remnant from the

//  within hotspot. Currently used by JFR's OSThreadSampler
//
//  The remaining code is greatly simplified from the more general suspension
//  code that used to be used.
//
//  The protocol is quite simple:
//  - suspend:
//      - sends a signal to the target thread
//      - polls the suspend state of the osthread using a yield loop
//      - target thread signal handler (SR_handler) sets suspend state
//        and blocks in sigsuspend until continued
//  - resume:
//      - sets target osthread state to continue
//      - sends signal to end the sigsuspend loop in the SR_handler
//
//  Note that the SR_lock plays no role in this suspend/resume protocol,
//  but is checked for NULL in SR_handler as a thread termination indicator.
//  The SR_lock is, however, used by JavaThread::java_suspend()/java_resume() APIs.
//
//  Note that resume_clear_context() and suspend_save_context() are needed
//  by SR_handler(), so that fetch_frame_from_ucontext() works,
//  which in part is used by:
//    - Forte Analyzer: AsyncGetCallTrace()
