Sorry, I didn't mean when did Linux and Solaris first see light of day. I meant, when did the futex (linux) and park() (Solaris) functionality become available

Sorry, I didn't mean when did Linux and Solaris first see light of day.
I meant, when did the futex (linux) and park() (Solaris) functionality become available in both? Some Linux things have an [uncredited] history as a Solaris feature first.
- defrost 4y ago<doh> my bad, skimming too fast, reading too little. To the best of my recollection, with some links I see that back this: Futex appeared in Linux circa 2002 ( late kernel ver 2.5 series ), (Net) BSD _lwp_park() appeared circa 2009 but ... I have an inkling it popped up earlier in sources I don't have online access to right now (archived drives | tapes in a shed some distance away) This post 2000 era is right when I moved away from heavy Sun workstation usage and low level tinkering and into other domains.
