Im curious to know, how can i stop a thread from running? Is there an API call to do this process? As far as i know, there is an API call for OK/L4 to stop a thread. How about fiasco? Thanks
There's no direct call for doing to, i.e. a thread_start & thread_cont call. But there's a way of achieving the same. Use ex_regs with the L4_THREAD_EX_REGS_RAISE_EXCEPTION flag which will force the thread in an exception state. When the thread should go on the exception handler can just reply to the exception and the thread will go on where it was stopped. You may also modify the exception handler while doing this.
