Michael Kerrisk c2befb6a93 pthread_attr_setstacksize.3: EINVAL occurs on some systems if stacksize != page-size 
On MacOS X at least, pthread_attr_setstacksize(3) can fail
with EINVAL if 'stacksize' is not a multiple of the system
page size.  Best to mention this so as to aid people writing
portable programs.

Subject: pthread_create(3) - example bug + problems

[...]
A look in the pthread_set_stacksize man page on Mac revealed that on
Mac the stack size must not only be at least PTHREAD_STACK_MIN...
[...]
...but the new stack size must also be a multiple of the system page
size!

From pthread_attr_setstacksize(3):

    pthread_attr_setstacksize() will fail if:

    [EINVAL]           Invalid value for attr.
    [EINVAL]           stacksize is less than PTHREAD_STACK_MIN.
!!!  [EINVAL]           stacksize is not a multiple of the system page size.

See for yourself (PTHREAD_STACK_MIN==8192 on Mac OS X):

$ ./pthread_test -s $((8192*10-1)) a
pthread_attr_setstacksize: Invalid argument
$ ./pthread_test -s $((8192*10)) a
Thread 1: top of stack near 0xb0014f6c; argv_string=a
Joined with thread 1; returned value was A
$ ./pthread_test -s $((8192*10+1)) a
pthread_attr_setstacksize: Invalid argument

Karsten Weiss 061f742a28 pthread_create.3: Fix bug in EXAMPLE program 
The bug is in this part of the code:

    /* Allocate memory for pthread_create() arguments */

    tinfo = calloc(num_threads, num_threads);
    if (tinfo == NULL)
       errExit("calloc");

The calloc() line should read like this instead:

    tinfo = calloc(num_threads, sizeof(struct thread_info));

Michael Kerrisk c42ad30f8c fma.3: Add some source code comments explaining two domain error cases. 
Two of the "domain error" cases described on this page are treated in
the same way on Linux, but POSIX.1 specifies some optional differences
for the two cases.  Make life easier for future page reviewers/editors
by adding some comments explaining that POSIX.1-2001 distinguishes
the two cases.
