NAME
thread_exit - abandon current thread context
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/proc.h>
void
thread_exit(void);
DESCRIPTION
The thread_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.
