// SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
//! Machine (`M`) — the OS thread that executes goroutines.
//!
//! Ported from `runtime/runtime2.go` and the `mstart`/`stopm` family in
//! `runtime/proc.go`.
//!
//! ## Go's M vs ours
//!
//! Go's `m` struct has ~80 fields covering cgo, signal handling, profiling,
//! and Windows specifics.  We keep only the fields the scheduler, channels,
//! and syscall shim actually use.
//!
//! ## Park primitive
//!
//! Go parks idle Ms using a platform-specific futex (`runtime/lock_futex.go`)
//! or semaphore (`runtime/lock_sema.go`) wrapped in a `note` struct.  We use
//! `std::sync::{Mutex, Condvar}` which compiles to the same underlying
//! primitives on every tier-1 target without per-platform assembly.
//! The semantics are identical: a `Note` is either *clear* or *set*; `sleep`
//! blocks until `wakeup` sets it; `wakeup` before `sleep` means `sleep`
//! returns immediately.
//!
//! ## v2.0 additions
//!
//! ### `pthread_id` — async preemption target (Step 4)
//! Each M now stores its OS thread ID (`pthread_id: libc::pthread_t`), set by
//! `M::start()` via `pthread_self()`.  `sysmon` uses this to send `SIGURG` to
//! the exact thread running a long-lived goroutine, triggering the
//! `async_preempt_trampoline` code path.
//!
//! ### Alternate signal stack (Step 4)
//! `M::start()` calls `setup_sigaltstack()` to allocate a 64 KiB alternate
//! signal stack per OS thread (`sigaltstack(2)`).  Because both the SIGSEGV and
//! SIGURG handlers are installed with `SA_ONSTACK`, they can safely execute
//! even when the goroutine's own stack is completely exhausted — which is
//! precisely when stack-growth signals arrive.
//!
//! ### g0 stack size (Step 3)
//! The scheduler loop runs on the M's `g0` stack.  g0 now uses
//! `g0_stack_alloc()` (64 KiB) rather than the goroutine default (8 KiB),
//! because `schedule → findrunnable → stopm → locking` has a deeper call chain
//! than a typical user goroutine.
