/**
* @file chthreads.c
* @brief Threads code.
*
* @addtogroup threads
* @details Threads related APIs and services.
*
* <h2>Operation mode</h2>
* 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.<br>
* Operations defined for threads:
* - <b>Init</b>, a thread is prepared and put in the suspended
* state.
* - <b>Create</b>, a thread is started on the specified thread
* function. This operation is available in multiple variants,
* both static and dynamic.
* - <b>Exit</b>, 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.
* - <b>Wait</b>, a thread waits for the termination of another
* thread and retrieves its return value.
* - <b>Resume</b>, a thread created in suspended state is started.
* - <b>Sleep</b>, the execution of a thread is suspended for the
* specified amount of time or the specified future absolute time
* is reached.
* - <b>SetPriority</b>, a thread changes its own priority level.
* - <b>Yield</b>, 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_USE_WAITEXIT and @p CH_USE_DYNAMIC configuration
* options.
* @{

* thread terminates then the exit code is returned.
* @details This function waits for the specified thread to terminate then
* decrements its reference counter, if the counter reaches zero then
* the thread working area is returned to the proper allocator.<br>
* The memory used by the exited thread is handled in different ways
* depending on the API that spawned the thread:
* - If the thread was spawned by @p chThdCreateStatic() or by
* @p chThdInit() then nothing happens and the thread working area
* is not released or modified in any way. This is the default,
* totally static, behavior.
* - If the thread was spawned by @p chThdCreateFromHeap() then
* the working area is returned to the system heap.
* - If the thread was spawned by @p chThdCreateFromMemoryPool()
* then the working area is returned to the owning memory pool.
* .
* Please read the @ref article_lifecycle article for more details.
* @pre The configuration option @p CH_USE_WAITEXIT must be enabled in
* order to use this function.
* @post Enabling @p chThdWait() requires 2-4 (depending on the
* architecture) extra bytes in the @p Thread structure.
* @post After invoking @p chThdWait() the thread pointer becomes invalid
* and must not be used as parameter for further system calls.
* @note If @p CH_USE_DYNAMIC is not specified this function just waits for
* the thread termination, no memory allocators are involved.
*
* @param[in] tp pointer to the thread
* @return The exit code from the terminated thread.
