 * Name: pthread_barrier_wait
 *
 * Description:
 *   The pthread_barrier_wait() function synchronizse participating threads
 *   at the barrier referenced by 'barrier'.  The calling thread is blocked
 *   until the required number of threads have called pthread_barrier_wait()
 *   specifying the same 'barrier'.  When the required number of threads
 *   have called pthread_barrier_wait() specifying the 'barrier', the
 *   constant PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD will be returned to one
 *   unspecified thread and zero will be returned to each of the remaining
 *   threads. At this point, the barrier will be reset to the state it had
 *   as a result of the most recent pthread_barrier_init() function that
 *   referenced it.
 *
 *   The constant PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD is defined in pthread.h and
 *   its value must be distinct from any other value returned by
 *   pthread_barrier_wait().
 *
 *   The results are undefined if this function is called with an
 *   uninitialized barrier.
 *
 *   If a signal is delivered to a thread blocked on a barrier, upon return
 *   from the signal handler the thread will resume waiting at the barrier
 *   if the barrier wait has not completed; otherwise, the thread will
 *   continue as normal from the completed barrier wait. Until the thread in
 *   the signal handler returns from it, it is unspecified whether other
 *   threads may proceed past the barrier once they have all reached it.
 *
 *   A thread that has blocked on a barrier will not prevent any unblocked
 *   thread that is eligible to use the same processing resources from
 *   eventually making forward progress in its execution.  Eligibility for
 *   processing resources will be determined by the scheduling policy.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   barrier - the barrier to wait on
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   0 (OK) on success or EINVAL if the barrier is not valid.
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *
