//! Background monitor thread — ported from `runtime/proc.go` (`sysmon`).
//!
//! Runs a single detached OS thread that performs three duties every iteration:
//!
//! 1. **Netpoll** — calls [`netpoll::netpoll_wait(0)`][super::netpoll::netpoll_wait]
//!    (non-blocking) and issues [`goready`][super::park::goready] for every
//!    goroutine whose I/O fd became ready (Unix) or whose overlapped operation
//!    completed (Windows IOCP).  *(v0.2.0 — Step 5)*
//!
//! 2. **Async preemption** — for every P in `PRUNNING` whose `schedtick` has
//!    not advanced for more than `FORCE_PREEMPT_NS` (10 ms), `preemptone`:
//!    - Sets `curg.preempt = true` and `curg.stackguard0 = STACK_PREEMPT`.
//!    - Calls `pthread_kill(m.pthread_id, SIGURG)` to deliver the signal to
//!      the exact OS thread running that goroutine.
//!      The SIGURG handler in `sched.rs` redirects the goroutine to
//!      `async_preempt_trampoline`, producing a non-cooperative yield.
//!      *(v0.2.0 — Step 4; replaces the v1 cooperative-hint-only approach)*
//!
//! 3. **Syscall retake** — if a P has been stuck in `PSYSCALL` for more than
//!    `FORCE_RETAKE_NS` (20 µs), CAS its status to `PIDLE` and hand it off via
//!    `startm` so other goroutines can run.
//!
//! Sleep schedule (unchanged from Go): 20 µs initial; doubles every 50 idle
//! iterations; capped at 10 ms.
//!
//! Ported from `sysmon` and `retake` in `runtime/proc.go`.
