255 -- Note that Write_Lock for RTS_Lock does not have an out-parameter.
256 -- RTS_Locks are used in situations where we have not made provision for
257 -- recovery from ceiling violations. We do not expect them to occur inside
258 -- the runtime system, because all RTS locks have ceiling Priority'Last.
260 -- There is one way there can be a ceiling violation. That is if the
261 -- runtime system is called from a task that is executing in the
262 -- Interrupt_Priority range.
264 -- It is not clear what to do about ceiling violations due to RTS calls
265 -- done at interrupt priority. In general, it is not acceptable to give
266 -- all RTS locks interrupt priority, since that would give terrible
267 -- performance on systems where this has the effect of masking hardware
268 -- interrupts, though we could get away allowing Interrupt_Priority'last
269 -- where we are layered on an OS that does not allow us to mask interrupts.
270 -- Ideally, we would like to raise Program_Error back at the original point
271 -- of the RTS call, but this would require a lot of detailed analysis and
272 -- recoding, with almost certain performance penalties.
274 -- For POSIX systems, we considered just skipping setting priority ceiling
275 -- on RTS locks. This would mean there is no ceiling violation, but we
276 -- would end up with priority inversions inside the runtime system,
277 -- resulting in failure to satisfy the Ada priority rules, and possible
278 -- missed validation tests. This could be compensated-for by explicit
279 -- priority-change calls to raise the caller to Priority'Last whenever it
280 -- first enters the runtime system, but the expected overhead seems high,
281 -- though it might be lower than using locks with ceilings if the
282 -- underlying implementation of ceiling locks is an inefficient one.
284 -- This issue should be reconsidered whenever we get around to checking
285 -- for calls to potentially blocking operations from within protected
286 -- operations. If we check for such calls and catch them on entry to the
287 -- OS, it may be that we can eliminate the possibility of ceiling
288 -- violations inside the RTS. For this to work, we would have to forbid
289 -- explicitly setting the priority of a task to anything in the
290 -- Interrupt_Priority range, at least. We would also have to check that
291 -- there are no RTS-lock operations done inside any operations that are
292 -- not treated as potentially blocking.
294 -- The latter approach seems to be the best, i.e. to check on entry to RTS
295 -- calls that may need to use locks that the priority is not in the
296 -- interrupt range. If there are RTS operations that NEED to be called
297 -- from interrupt handlers, those few RTS locks should then be converted
298 -- to PO-type locks, with ceiling Interrupt_Priority'Last.
