Hi,

Userspace M-on-N threading model is based on the idea, that when signal
is delivered, kernel saves all information related to previous context
in stack, so it is possible to find it and replace.

You may want to have a look at some existing implementations:

- Good old `FSU Pthreads' http://moss.csc.ncsu.edu/~mueller/pthreads/
- fully POSIX-compliant `GnuPth' http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/
- server-targetted `Capriccio'
www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jcondit/capriccio-sosp-2003.pdf
- efficient `ELiTE/Erlangen'
http://www4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/Projects/FORTWIHR/ELiTE/
- and our portable, flexible, efficient `Marcel'
