   --
   --  For the operation on Lock, Ceiling_Violation is set to true iff the

   --
   --  For the operation on ST.Task_ID, the lock is the special lock object
   --  associated with that task's ATCB. This lock has effective ceiling
   --  priority high enough that it is safe to call by a task with any
   --  priority in the range System.Priority. It is implicitly initialized
   --  by task creation. The effect is undefined if the calling task already
   --  holds T's lock, or has interrupt-level priority. Finalization of the

   --  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.

   procedure Unlock (L : access Lock);
   procedure Unlock (L : access RTS_Lock);
   procedure Unlock (T : ST.Task_ID);
   pragma Inline (Unlock);
   --  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.)

   --  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 whould give terrible performance on systems where
   --  this has the effect of masking hardware interrupts, though we
   --  could get away with 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 a
   --  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 a
   --  ceiling violation.

   --  the operation may be used by the upper layer to implement
   --  changes in "active priority" 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).

   --  Whoever calls either of the Sleep routines is responsible
   --  for checking for pending aborts before the call.
   --  Pending priority changes are handled internally.

   --    and has abort deferred
   --
   --  postcondition:
   --    The calling task is holding its own ATCB lock
   --    and has abort deferred.

   --  The effect is to atomically unlock T's lock and wait, so that another
   --  task that is able to lock T's lock can be assured that the wait has
   --  actually commenced, and that a Wakeup operation will cause the waiting
   --  task to become ready for execution once again. When Sleep returns,
   --  the waiting task will again hold its own ATCB lock. The waiting task
   --  may become ready for execution at any time (that is, spurious wakeups
   --  are permitted), but it will definitely become ready for execution when
   --  a Wakeup operation is performed for the same task.

      Reason : System.Tasking.Task_States);
   pragma Inline (Wakeup);
   --  Wake up task T if it is waiting on a Sleep call (of ordinary

   --------------------
   -- 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 a
   --  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.
