    sys/kern             kern_exec.c kern_thread.c 
  Log:
  In original kern_execve() code, at the start of the function, it forces
  all other threads to suicide, problem is execve() could be failed, and
  a failed execve() would change threaded process to unthreaded, this side
  effect is unexpected.
  The new code introduces a new single threading mode SINGLE_BOUNDARY, in
  the mode, all threads should suspend themself at user boundary except
  the singler. we can not use SINGLE_NO_EXIT because we want to start from
  a clean state if execve() is successful, suspending other threads at unknown
  point and later resuming them from there and forcing them to exit at user
  boundary may cause the process to start from a dirty state. If execve() is
  successful, current thread upgrades to SINGLE_EXIT mode and forces other
  threads to suicide at user boundary, otherwise, other threads will be resumed
  and their interrupted syscall will be restarted.
