cond, condition (条件量)，某个线程拿到 mutex，但发现某些条件没达到（比如队列中无任务），则需要 block，直到条件达到位置，此时 cond 就有作用了。
pthread_signal, 只唤醒所有等待 cond 线程中的一个。
pthread_broadcast, 唤醒所有等待 cond 的线程。
其实还是一个个唤醒，一个被唤醒，释放 mutex，然后另一个被唤醒。
cond 典型的用法如下：
pthread_mutex_lock(&m);
while ( cond is not ok )
{
pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &m);
}
... do sth.
pthread_mutex_unlock(&m);
为何这里需要一个 while 呢？因为 pthread_broadcast 会唤醒所有等待 cond 的线程，比如队列中只有一个任务，而唤醒了三个线程，则只有一个线程能拿到任务，而另两个需要继续 wait on cond。
cond 也有 process-shared 的属性，意义不大，忽略了。而 clock 属性是实时系统(realtime)才用的，略过不表。
