61 /* We use two 64b counters: __wseq and __g1_start. They are monotonically
62 increasing and single-writer-multiple-readers counters, so we can implement
63 load, fetch-and-add, and fetch-and-xor operations even when we just have
64 32b atomics. Values we add or xor are less than or equal to 1<<31 (*),
65 so we only have to make overflow-and-addition atomic wrt. to concurrent
66 load operations and xor operations. To do that, we split each counter into
67 two 32b values of which we reserve the MSB of each to represent an
68 overflow from the lower-order half to the higher-order half.
70 In the common case, the state is (higher-order / lower-order half, and . is
71 basically concatenation of the bits):
74 When we add a value of x that overflows (i.e., 0.l + x == 1.L), we run the
75 following steps S1-S4 (the values these represent are on the right-hand
77 S1: 0.h / 1.L == (h+1).L
78 S2: 1.(h+1) / 1.L == (h+1).L
79 S3: 1.(h+1) / 0.L == (h+1).L
80 S4: 0.(h+1) / 0.L == (h+1).L
81 If the LSB of the higher-order half is set, readers will ignore the
82 overflow bit in the lower-order half.
84 To get an atomic snapshot in load operations, we exploit that the
85 higher-order half is monotonically increasing; if we load a value V from
86 it, then read the lower-order half, and then read the higher-order half
87 again and see the same value V, we know that both halves have existed in
88 the sequence of values the full counter had. This is similar to the
89 validated reads in the time-based STMs in GCC's libitm (e.g.,
92 The xor operation needs to be an atomic read-modify-write. The write
93 itself is not an issue as it affects just the lower-order half but not bits
94 used in the add operation. To make the full fetch-and-xor atomic, we
95 exploit that concurrently, the value can increase by at most 1<<31 (*): The
96 xor operation is only called while having acquired the lock, so not more
97 than __PTHREAD_COND_MAX_GROUP_SIZE waiters can enter concurrently and thus
98 increment __wseq. Therefore, if the xor operation observes a value of
99 __wseq, then the value it applies the modification to later on can be
102 One benefit of this scheme is that this makes load operations
103 obstruction-free because unlike if we would just lock the counter, readers
104 can almost always interpret a snapshot of each halves. Readers can be
105 forced to read a new snapshot when the read is concurrent with an overflow.
106 However, overflows will happen infrequently, so load operations are
107 practically lock-free.
109 (*) The highest value we add is __PTHREAD_COND_MAX_GROUP_SIZE << 2 to
