 * Function: 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.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   barrier - the barrier to wait on
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   0 (OK) on success or EINVAL if the barrier is not valid.
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *
