/**
 * Principle of operation:
 *
 * The Zephyr OS and its app run as a set of native pthreads.
 * The Zephyr OS only sees one of this thread executing at a time.
 * Which is running is controlled using {cond|mtx}_threads and
 * currently_allowed_thread.
 *
 * The main part of the execution of each thread will occur in a fully
 * synchronous and deterministic manner, and only when commanded by the Zephyr
 * kernel.
 * But the creation of a thread will spawn a new pthread whose start
 * is asynchronous to the rest, until synchronized in posix_wait_until_allowed()
 * below.
 * Similarly aborting and canceling threads execute a tail in a quite
 * asynchronous manner.
 *
 * This implementation is meant to be portable in between POSIX systems.
 * A table (threads_table) is used to abstract the native pthreads.
 * And index in this table is used to identify threads in the IF to the kernel.

/*
 * Notes about coverage:
 *
 * Note1:
 *
 * This condition will only be triggered in very unlikely cases
 * (once every few full regression runs).
 * It is therefore excluded from the coverage report to avoid confusing
 * developers.
 *
 * Background: This arch creates a pthread as soon as the Zephyr kernel creates
 * a Zephyr thread. A pthread creation is an asynchronous process handled by the
 * host kernel.
 *
 * This architecture normally keeps only 1 thread executing at a time.
 * But part of the pre-initialization during creation of a new thread
 * and some cleanup at the tail of the thread termination are executed
 * in parallel to other threads.
 * That is, the execution of those code paths is a bit indeterministic.
 *
 * Only when the Zephyr kernel attempts to swap to a new thread does this
 * architecture need to wait until its pthread is ready and initialized
 * (has reached posix_wait_until_allowed())
 *
 * In some cases (tests) threads are created which are never actually needed
 * (typically the idle thread). That means the test may finish before this
 * thread's underlying pthread has reached posix_wait_until_allowed().
 *
 * In this unlikely cases the initialization or cleanup of the thread follows
 * non-typical code paths.
 * This code paths are there to ensure things work always, no matter
 * the load of the host. Without them, very rare & mysterious segfault crashes
 * would occur.
 * But as they are very atypical and only triggered with some host loads,
 * they will be covered in the coverage reports only rarely.
 *
 * Note2:
 *
 * Some other code will never or only very rarely trigger and is therefore
 * excluded with LCOV_EXCL_LINE
 *
