PS5CEMU-HAR (PPSA99360, ps5-payload-dev build, relinks with
--trap-sdk-syscall-stubs) imports pthread_setaffinity_np (5KWrg7-ZqvE)
from libkernel.prx. babyhuey's run with #3787 merged onto main e7c70a2d
(PR #3787, 2026-10-12T10:54:44Z) stops at it:
Windows: FAIL: unresolved ELF import 5KWrg7-ZqvE (pthread_setaffinity_np) from libkernel.prx
Linux: undefined symbol: 5KWrg7-ZqvE (pthread_setaffinity_np)
It follows FreeBSD 11.4 libthr thr_affinity.c (8c639945) over
kern_cpuset_setaffinity: another thread is looked up first (EINVAL for
null, ESRCH when unknown or finished, as _thr_find_thread without dead
threads), a size other than the 32-byte cpuset_t returns ERANGE, the
mask is clipped to sceKernelGetAvailableCpumask and an empty result
returns EDEADLK, as cpuset_setaffinity does. The affinity is stored on
the guest thread through scePthreadSetaffinity, for the caller and for
any live guest thread.

On a PS5 (firmware 13.60) pthread_setschedparam and
scePthreadSetschedparam accept only SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR with a
priority of 256 to 767 or 896 to 959, return EINVAL otherwise, and
keep the policy for pthread_getschedparam. A created thread takes the
policy of explicit scheduling attributes, or its creator's when it
inherits. Here any policy and priority were accepted and SCHED_FIFO
was always reported.

Allow calling threads to query and set affinity using their own thread ID in addition to -1. Return ESRCH for non-matching thread or process IDs and EINVAL for invalid level/which arguments instead of throwing NotImplemented, matching FreeBSD cpuset semantics.
pthread_atfork (U9t5kJAWPnA, aerolib) appends the prepare, parent and
child handlers to a process-wide list under a lock and returns 0, or
ENOMEM when the entry cannot be allocated, as FreeBSD 11.4's
_pthread_atfork does (lib/libthr/thread/thr_fork.c:78-100, freebsd-src
8c639945a44588f6cfdddfb057bb5aad88735da0). Null handlers are accepted;
FreeBSD's fork skips them. The handlers never run: fork
(libkernel_sys) throws and vfork is absent, so no child process is
created. The list is kept, in registration order, for a later fork
(PthreadAtforkHandlers_nid_no_patch); recorded in TechnicalDebt.
XPSemu (PPSA97358) calls it from a constructor, before main
(ZiZc3/XPSemu 8eec07b4, util/rcu.c:488-495):
static void __attribute__((__constructor__)) rcu_init(void)
{
smp_mb_global_init();
#ifdef CONFIG_POSIX
pthread_atfork(rcu_init_lock, rcu_init_unlock, rcu_init_child);
#endif
rcu_init_complete();
}
so a throwing export would stop the title before main. Predicted stop
removed (registry index 255, not run):
FAIL: unresolved ELF import U9t5kJAWPnA from libkernel.prx
guest_pthread_atfork checks registration order, null handlers,
concurrent registration from four threads and that no handler runs.

pthread_once and scePthreadOnce removed their reset handler with a pop
that runs whatever handler is on top of the cleanup stack. An
initializer that pushed a handler of its own and then threw left that
handler on top, so the pop ran it with dangling state. Both now record
the stack top before pushing the reset handler; on a throw they restore
the stack to it and reset the control directly, and a normal return
restores it as well.
Reported in review by Hussein Kadhim, who fixed it the same way.

Add pthread_cond_reltimedwait_np (K953PF5u6Pc; computed with
tools/nid_names.py and matching aerolib.csv) as scePthreadCondTimedwait
with POSIX error numbers: ETIMEDOUT when the relative timeout expires,
EPERM when the caller does not hold the mutex, and the mutex held again on
return in every waiting case.
Titles: Porpoise PPSA99764 and RetroArch PPSA99169 import it.
Predicted from relink registry order, not observed: Porpoise stops with
"FAIL: unresolved ELF import K953PF5u6Pc from libkernel.prx" (registry
index 384; RetroArch index 490). No call site is resolved in the registry.
The third argument is a relative timeout in microseconds, not a
struct timespec. FreeBSD 11.4 libthr (8c639945a44588f6cfdddfb057bb5aad88735da0)
has no such function. shadPS4 (3a9f57265d28975658f1ca941daa5c879c7a74bd,
src/core/libraries/kernel/threads/condvar.cpp:229-234, 445, 467-468)
registers posix_pthread_cond_reltimedwait_np(cond, mutex, u64 usec) for this
NID and the same function for scePthreadCondTimedwait (BmMjYxmew1w), whose
microsecond argument this repository already implements. The width follows
the SCE twin's 32-bit SceKernelUseconds, as sem_reltimedwait_np does, not
shadPS4's u64. There is no timespec to validate, so no EINVAL case.

(cherry picked from commit c86ec8417d12f5b12136b0f06eae06493b0e7a62)
Add pthread_spin_init (ZMn3clnAGBA), pthread_spin_destroy (IJIggoPZExk),
pthread_spin_lock (pw+70ClLYlY), pthread_spin_trylock (rCTGkBIHfPY) and
pthread_spin_unlock (LEfMMCT+SlM). The NIDs were computed with
tools/nid_names.py and match aerolib.csv. libkernel has no scePthreadSpin*
twin in aerolib, so the calls are implemented directly, like the barrier.
Titles: Porpoise PPSA99764 and RetroArch PPSA99169 import pthread_spin_lock.
Predicted from relink registry order, not observed: after
pthread_cond_reltimedwait_np, Porpoise stops with
"FAIL: unresolved ELF import pw+70ClLYlY from libkernel.prx" (registry
index 387; RetroArch index 493). No call site is resolved in the registry.
Behaviour follows FreeBSD 11.4 libthr thr_pspinlock.c and thr_umtx.h
(8c639945a44588f6cfdddfb057bb5aad88735da0). The guest pthread_spinlock_t
holds a pointer to an allocated lock. EINVAL for a null or destroyed lock and
for a pshared other than PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE or PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED,
EBUSY from trylock while any thread holds the lock, EPERM from unlock by a
thread that does not hold it. libthr spins forever when the holder locks
again; that call throws here. A shared lock is allocated like a private one,
since guest code runs in one process. Recorded in TechnicalDebt.

(cherry picked from commit 13ebf7f926fa2ee1c825cb1fcf18451a8781c045)
pthread_once and scePthreadOnce marked the control as running, called
the initializer and marked the control done only after it returned. A
thread that left the initializer through pthread_exit or a
cancellation point never came back, so the control stayed in progress
and every later call on it waited forever.
FreeBSD libthr runs the initializer under a cleanup handler
(lib/libthr/thread/thr_once.c, _pthread_once:
"THR_CLEANUP_PUSH(curthread, once_cancel_handler, once_control);
init_routine(); THR_CLEANUP_POP(curthread, 0);"). once_cancel_handler
stores ONCE_NEVER_DONE and wakes the waiters, and thread exit and
cancellation run the cleanup handlers. POSIX requires this for
cancellation: "if init_routine is a cancellation point and is canceled,
the effect on once_control shall be as if pthread_once() was never
called."
Both functions now push such a handler around the initializer, so the
control returns to its initial state and the next caller, or one
already waiting, runs the initializer. scePthreadOnce waiters now retry
when the control goes back to its initial state, and an exception from
its initializer resets the control as it already did for pthread_once.
CleanupHandler moves to Cancel.hpp so that Once.cpp can use it.

Report the thread's affinity mask as a 32-byte FreeBSD cpuset_t, with
FreeBSD 11's errors: ERANGE for any other set size, ESRCH for a null
thread and EFAULT for a null set.
EVO-PLAYER (PPSA99039 v0.11.0) imports it (Jb2uGFMr688) and calls it
once with a 32-byte set on pthread_self().
The POSIX alias takes (attr, int), returns EINVAL (22) for a null or
uninitialized attribute like the other pthread_attr setters, and
stores the value through scePthreadAttrSetsolosched, returning its
result in errno form. The signature and the stored int follow the SCE
twin in KytyPS5 and sharpemu; PS5PCEM implements the alias the same
way. The value is not applied to scheduling, recorded in TechnicalDebt.
Returnal (PPSA01285 v03.000.005) stops on it after eager binding
(#2872, #1155):
what(): pthread_attr_setsolosched_np_nid_postfix not implemented
LEGO Horizon Adventures (PPSA14632, #734) and Palworld (PPSA23126,
#2598) import it.

The mutex attribute now keeps its protocol and priority ceiling the way
FreeBSD's libthr does: the ceiling can be set and read only under
PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT (EINVAL otherwise), and setting a protocol resets it
to the highest SCHED_RR priority. Mutexes still do not apply priority
protection; that is listed as a silent stub.

scePthreadCancel and pthread_cancel threw, scePthreadTestcancel did
nothing and the cleanup handler exports did not exist.
A cancel request is now recorded on the thread and acted on at
scePthreadTestcancel, the condition variable waits, scePthreadSem and
sem waits, scePthreadJoin and the sleeps, and under their POSIX names.
A thread blocked in one of the waits is woken; a condition wait takes
its mutex back before the thread exits. The thread exits with
PTHREAD_CANCELED through scePthreadExit, which now runs the handlers
of __pthread_cleanup_push_imp and __pthread_cleanup_pop_imp.
scePthreadSetcancelstate and scePthreadSetcanceltype reject unknown
values, and pthread_setcanceltype is added.
Constants, the handler node layout and the order of events follow
FreeBSD libthr. A sleep is not interrupted, file and socket calls are
not cancellation points and the asynchronous type acts like the
deferred one except at the two set calls (TechnicalDebt). New test:
guest_pthread_cancel.
AI-assisted: yes. Match the firmware 13.60 probe in PR #1798: names of 32 bytes or more return guest ENAMETOOLONG=63 and preserve the prior name. The complete final change passed a full Windows build and eight focused runtime tests.
Hades (PPSA03355) stops at load on main with "undefined symbol:
9HzfhdtESio", the NID of pthread_getname_np, which it calls on
pthread_self() with a 32-byte buffer. Measured on a PS5 (firmware 13.60)
through dlopen of libkernel: the function takes (thread, buffer), copies
the name and its terminator, returns an empty name for an unnamed
thread, ESRCH for a null or joined thread and EFAULT for a null buffer.

LEGO Horizon Adventures imports 19 functions that no library exports
and no open pull request adds, so it fails eager binding. They are
declared as throwing stubs. The two libSceAjmWVorbis imports have no
known name and are exported by NID from libSceAjm.native.
