On a PS5 (firmware 13.60) scePthreadJoin on the calling thread returns
EDEADLK and scePthreadCreate with a zeroed attribute creates a thread
with the default attributes. Here both threw.

On a PS5 (firmware 13.60) the SCE mutex attribute calls return EINVAL
for a null or uninitialized attribute, scePthreadMutexattrSetprotocol
accepts 0 to 2, scePthreadMutexInit takes an uninitialized attribute as
the default one, and destroying a destroyed mutex returns EINVAL. Here
these threw, including for the priority protection protocol.

On a PS5 (firmware 13.60) the scePthreadAttr setters and getters return
EINVAL for a null or uninitialized attribute and for a null output,
ENOTSUP for a policy other than SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR, an inheritance
other than explicit and inherit, and a priority outside 256 to 767, and
EINVAL for an invalid detach state. Here they threw, or stored any
policy, inheritance and priority.

On a PS5 (firmware 13.60) scePthreadAttrSetsolosched and
pthread_attr_setsolosched_np accept only 0 and 16; every other value
returns ENOTSUP and keeps the stored one. The SCE set and get calls
return EINVAL for a null or uninitialized attribute instead of throwing.

On a PS5 (firmware 13.60) destroying a rwlock returns 0 even while it
is held, and leaves 1 in the handle; every later call on that handle
returns EINVAL until it is initialized again. A zero handle is
initialized on first use by the scePthreadRwlock calls too. Here a held
rwlock returned EBUSY, a destroyed handle became null and was silently
re-created by the next POSIX call, and the scePthreadRwlock calls threw
on a zero handle.

scePthreadJoin threw when a joinable thread joined itself and
scePthreadJoin and scePthreadDetach threw on a null thread, so
pthread_join and pthread_detach ended the process where FreeBSD libthr
returns EDEADLK and EINVAL.
scePthreadKeyCreate and pthread_key_create handed out the slot index,
so the first key in a process was 0. FreeBSD libthr returns slot + 1
(_pthread_key_create: "*key = i + 1") and subtracts 1 again in
pthread_key_delete, pthread_getspecific and pthread_setspecific, so 0 is
never a valid key. Code that keeps 0 as "key not created yet" therefore
created a new key on every call and lost the values it stored under the
previous one.
Keys now start at 1; 0 and other out-of-range keys are rejected with
EINVAL by delete and set and read as NULL, as before.

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.

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.

scePthreadRwlockUnlock called unlock_shared on the host mutex whenever the
caller was not the writer, which is undefined behaviour for an unlocked rwlock
or one write-locked by another thread. Track the reader count and return
EPERM like FreeBSD libthr when the caller does not own the write lock and no
read lock is held.
Two defects found in review of the Linux delivery:
A raise right after scePthreadCreate reached the new thread before
RunThread set currentThread, so scePthreadSelf() in the handler adopted
a second handle, and could deadlock on glibc's thread lock when the
signal interrupted pthread_getattr_np. The creator now blocks all
signals around the std::thread construction, so the child starts with
them blocked, and RunThread restores the creator's mask once the thread
is registered, as libthr does. A raise in that window stays pending and
is delivered just before the entry runs.
A handler that set reserved MXCSR bits made rt_sigreturn fail with
SIGSEGV. The MXCSR the handler leaves is now masked with the frame's
MXCSR_MASK (0xffbf when it reads 0), as FreeBSD's fpusetregs does, on
both platforms; Windows also keeps CONTEXT.MxCsr equal to
FltSave.MxCsr.
guest_raise_exception raises right after each of 50 thread creations and
checks scePthreadSelf() in the handler, and its context round trip sets
a reserved MXCSR bit and FZ and checks that only FZ is kept.

sceKernelRaiseException threw on Linux, so a title whose garbage
collector stops threads with it (Unity's PS5Util raises SIGUSR1 on each
thread and reads mc_rsp from the handler's context) could not run there.
The raise now sends the host SIGUSR1 to the target thread with
pthread_kill. The host handler, installed on first use with SA_SIGINFO
and SA_RESTART, builds the FreeBSD-layout ucontext from the interrupted
registers and the FXSAVE area, calls the guest handler on the target's
own stack and writes the registers back, so the handler's changes reach
the interrupted code, as they do on Windows. errno is left as the
handler leaves it, as libthr does.
A raise on another thread takes the target's join lock with the host
signal blocked and returns ESRCH once the thread has finished, so a
detached thread's pthread_t is never signalled after it exits. The
pthread_t is recorded when the thread is created or adopted. Handlers
are now lock-free atomics, as the host handler reads them.
guest_raise_exception now runs on every platform. It also checks that
r13 and xmm8 reach the handler and that r12 and xmm8 written by the
handler reach the interrupted code.

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().
A stack base need not be page aligned (it is not on Linux), so rounding the
range down first could leave the stack and miss the stack path. The range the
guest asked for is now checked against the guest stack, and the rounded
pages are protected, as FreeBSD rounds the address down.
A thread that exits with part of its stack protected left those pages to the
next thread that reused the stack. Protected stack pages are recorded, and a
thread's stack is made readable and writable again when it is unregistered at
exit.

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.

pthread_cond_wait and pthread_cond_timedwait, and their sce counterparts, threw a
host exception when the mutex was unlocked, locked by another thread, or not yet
initialized, and dereferenced the adaptive static initializer. FreeBSD returns
EPERM for these (EINVAL for a destroyed mutex) before touching the condition.
