Pull request overview
This PR renames AsyncSafeThreadMap to SignalSafeThreadMap throughout the CoreCLR and NativeAOT codebases to avoid confusion with .NET's async/await terminology. The data structure is specifically designed for safe use within signal handlers on Unix platforms.
Key changes:
- Renamed files from
asyncsafethreadmap.{cpp,h}toSignalSafeThreadMap.{cpp,h}following PascalCase convention - Renamed all three public functions:
InsertThreadIntoSignalSafeMap,RemoveThreadFromSignalSafeMap,FindThreadInSignalSafeMap - Updated internal static variable
s_pSignalSafeThreadMapHeadand all comments/error messages to use "signal-safe" terminology

Renamed
