NAME

       thread_exit — abandon current thread context

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/param.h>
       #include <sys/proc.h>

       void
       thread_exit(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  thread_exit() function implements the machine independent prelude to a thread shutdown.  It will not
       return, and will result in a call to mi_switch(9) to schedule some other thread.

       thread_exit() arranges to free all the resources of the thread, specifically the kernel stack.

       To protect the runqueue(9), thread_exit() must be called with the sched_lock mutex held.

SEE ALSO

       mi_switch(9), mutex(9), runqueue(9), sleep(9)
