   --  priority high enough that it is safe to call by a task with any
   --  priority in the range System.Priority. It is implicitly initialized

   --  there are tasks holding read permission, provided there are no tasks
   --  holding write permission for the object. The effect is undefined if
   --  the calling task already holds read or write permission for L.
   --
   --  Alternatively: An implementation may treat Read_Lock identically to
   --  Write_Lock. This simplifies the implementation, but reduces the level
   --  of concurrency that can be achieved.
   --
   --  Note that Read_Lock is not defined for RT_Lock and ST.Task_Id.
   --  That is because (1) so far Read_Lock has always been implemented
   --  the same as Write_Lock, (2) most lock usage inside the RTS involves
   --  potential write access, and (3) implementations of priority ceiling
   --  locking that make a reader-writer distinction have higher overhead.

   --  Unlock a locked lock object
   --
   --  The effect is undefined unless the calling task holds read or write
   --  permission for the lock L, and L is the lock object most recently
   --  locked by the calling task for which the calling task still holds
   --  read or write permission. (That is, matching pairs of Lock and Unlock
   --  operations on each lock object must be properly nested.)

   --  For the operation on RTS_Lock, Global_Lock should be set to True if L
   --  is a global lock (Single_RTS_Lock, Global_Task_Lock).
   --
   --  Note that Write_Lock for RTS_Lock does not have an out-parameter.
   --  RTS_Locks are used in situations where we have not made provision for
   --  recovery from ceiling violations. We do not expect them to occur inside
   --  the runtime system, because all RTS locks have ceiling Priority'Last.

   --  There is one way there can be a ceiling violation. That is if the
   --  runtime system is called from a task that is executing in the
   --  Interrupt_Priority range.

   --  It is not clear what to do about ceiling violations due to RTS calls
   --  done at interrupt priority. In general, it is not acceptable to give
   --  all RTS locks interrupt priority, since that would give terrible
   --  performance on systems where this has the effect of masking hardware
   --  interrupts, though we could get away allowing Interrupt_Priority'last
   --  where we are layered on an OS that does not allow us to mask interrupts.
   --  Ideally, we would like to raise Program_Error back at the original point
   --  of the RTS call, but this would require a lot of detailed analysis and
   --  recoding, with almost certain performance penalties.

   --  For POSIX systems, we considered just skipping setting priority ceiling
   --  on RTS locks. This would mean there is no ceiling violation, but we
   --  would end up with priority inversions inside the runtime system,
   --  resulting in failure to satisfy the Ada priority rules, and possible
   --  missed validation tests. This could be compensated-for by explicit
   --  priority-change calls to raise the caller to Priority'Last whenever it
   --  first enters the runtime system, but the expected overhead seems high,
   --  though it might be lower than using locks with ceilings if the
   --  underlying implementation of ceiling locks is an inefficient one.

   --  This issue should be reconsidered whenever we get around to checking
   --  for calls to potentially blocking operations from within protected
   --  operations. If we check for such calls and catch them on entry to the
   --  OS, it may be that we can eliminate the possibility of ceiling
   --  violations inside the RTS. For this to work, we would have to forbid
   --  explicitly setting the priority of a task to anything in the
   --  Interrupt_Priority range, at least. We would also have to check that
   --  there are no RTS-lock operations done inside any operations that are
   --  not treated as potentially blocking.

   --  The latter approach seems to be the best, i.e. to check on entry to RTS
   --  calls that may need to use locks that the priority is not in the
   --  interrupt range. If there are RTS operations that NEED to be called
   --  from interrupt handlers, those few RTS locks should then be converted
   --  to PO-type locks, with ceiling Interrupt_Priority'Last.

   --  For now, we will just shut down the system if there is ceiling violation

   --  that are not due to lock effects. The effect should be consistent with
   --  the Ada Reference Manual. In particular, when a task lowers its
   --  priority due to the loss of inherited priority, it goes at the head of
   --  the queue for its new priority (RM D.2.2 par 9). Loss_Of_Inheritance

   -- RTS Entrance/Exit --
   -----------------------

   --  setup/cleared upon entrance/exit of RTS while maintaining a single
   --  thread of control in the RTS. Since we intend these routines to be used
   --  for implementing the Single_Lock RTS, Lock_RTS should follow the first
   --  Defer_Abort operation entering RTS. In the same fashion Unlock_RTS
   --  should precede the last Undefer_Abort exiting RTS.

   --  These routines also replace the functions Lock/Unlock_All_Tasks_List

   procedure Lock_RTS;
   --  Take the global RTS lock

   procedure Unlock_RTS;
   --  Release the global RTS lock

   --------------------
   -- Stack Checking --
   --------------------

   --  Stack checking in GNAT is done using the concept of stack probes. A
   --  stack probe is an operation that will generate a storage error if
   --  an insufficient amount of stack space remains in the current task.

   --  The exact mechanism for a stack probe is target dependent. Typical
   --  possibilities are to use a load from a non-existent page, a store to a
   --  read-only page, or a comparison with some stack limit constant. Where
   --  possible we prefer to use a trap on a bad page access, since this has
   --  less overhead. The generation of stack probes is either automatic if
   --  the ABI requires it (as on for example DEC Unix), or is controlled by
   --  the gcc parameter -fstack-check.

   --  When we are using bad-page accesses, we need a bad page, called guard
   --  page, at the end of each task stack. On some systems, this is provided
   --  automatically, but on other systems, we need to create the guard page
   --  ourselves, and the procedure Stack_Guard is provided for this purpose.

   procedure Stack_Guard (T : ST.Task_Id; On : Boolean);
   --  Ensure guard page is set if one is needed and the underlying thread
   --  system does not provide it. The procedure is as follows:
   --
   --    1. When we create a task adjust its size so a guard page can
   --       safely be set at the bottom of the stack.
   --
   --    2. When the thread is created (and its stack allocated by the
   --       underlying thread system), get the stack base (and size, depending
   --       how the stack is growing), and create the guard page taking care
   --       of page boundaries issues.
   --
   --    3. When the task is destroyed, remove the guard page.
   --
   --  If On is true then protect the stack bottom (i.e make it read only)
   --  else unprotect it (i.e. On is True for the call when creating a task,
   --  and False when a task is destroyed).
   --
   --  The call to Stack_Guard has no effect if guard pages are not used on
   --  the target, or if guard pages are automatically provided by the system.

   ------------------------
   -- Suspension objects --
   ------------------------

   --  These subprograms provide the functionality required for synchronizing
   --  on a suspension object. Tasks can suspend execution and relinquish the
   --  processors until the condition is signaled.

   function Current_State (S : Suspension_Object) return Boolean;
   --  Return the state of the suspension object

   procedure Set_False (S : in out Suspension_Object);
   --  Set the state of the suspension object to False

   procedure Set_True (S : in out Suspension_Object);
   --  Set the state of the suspension object to True. If a task were
   --  suspended on the protected object then this task is released (and
   --  the state of the suspension object remains set to False).

   procedure Suspend_Until_True (S : in out Suspension_Object);
   --  If the state of the suspension object is True then the calling task
   --  continues its execution, and the state is set to False. If the state
   --  of the object is False then the task is suspended on the suspension
   --  object until a Set_True operation is executed. Program_Error is raised
   --  if another task is already waiting on that suspension object.

   procedure Initialize (S : in out Suspension_Object);
   --  Initialize the suspension object

   procedure Finalize (S : in out Suspension_Object);
   --  Finalize the suspension object
