/**
* @file chthreads.c
* @brief Threads code.
*
* @addtogroup threads
* @details Threads related APIs and services.
*
*
Operation mode
* A thread is an abstraction of an independent instructions flow.
* In ChibiOS/RT a thread is represented by a "C" function owning
* a processor context, state informations and a dedicated stack
* area. In this scenario static variables are shared among all
* threads while automatic variables are local to the thread.
* Operations defined for threads:
* - Create, a thread is started on the specified thread
* function. This operation is available in multiple variants,
* both static and dynamic.
* - Exit, a thread terminates by returning from its top
* level function or invoking a specific API, the thread can
* return a value that can be retrieved by other threads.
* - Wait, a thread waits for the termination of another
* thread and retrieves its return value.
* - Resume, a thread created in suspended state is started.
* - Sleep, the execution of a thread is suspended for the
* specified amount of time or the specified future absolute time
* is reached.
* - SetPriority, a thread changes its own priority level.
* - Yield, a thread voluntarily renounces to its time slot.
* .
* The threads subsystem is implicitly included in kernel however
* some of its part may be excluded by disabling them in @p chconf.h,
* see the @p CH_CFG_USE_WAITEXIT and @p CH_CFG_USE_DYNAMIC configuration
* options.
