   -- Locking Rules --
   -------------------

   --  The following rules must be followed at all times, to prevent
   --  deadlock and generally ensure correct operation of locking.

   --  Never lock a lock unless abort is deferred

   --  Never undefer abort while holding a lock

   --  Overlapping critical sections must be properly nested, and locks must
   --  be released in LIFO order. e.g., the following is not allowed:

   --         Lock (X);
   --         ...
   --         Lock (Y);
   --         ...
   --         Unlock (X);
   --         ...
   --         Unlock (Y);

   --  Locks with lower (smaller) level number cannot be locked
   --  while holding a lock with a higher level number. (The level

   --  1. System.Tasking.PO_Simple.Protection.L (any PO lock)
   --  2. System.Tasking.Initialization.Global_Task_Lock (in body)
   --  3. System.Task_Primitives.Operations.Single_RTS_Lock
   --  4. System.Tasking.Ada_Task_Control_Block.LL.L (any TCB lock)

   --  Clearly, there can be no circular chain of hold-and-wait
   --  relationships involving locks in different ordering levels.

   --  We used to have Global_Task_Lock before Protection.L but this was
   --  clearly wrong since there can be calls to "new" inside protected
   --  operations. The new ordering prevents these failures.

   --  Sometimes we need to hold two ATCB locks at the same time. To allow us
   --  to order the locking, each ATCB is given a unique serial number. If one
   --  needs to hold locks on several ATCBs at once, the locks with lower
   --  serial numbers must be locked first.

   --  We don't always need to check the serial numbers, since the serial
   --  numbers are assigned sequentially, and so:

   --  . The parent of a task always has a lower serial number.
   --  . The activator of a task always has a lower serial number.
   --  . The environment task has a lower serial number than any other task.
   --  . If the activator of a task is different from the task's parent,
   --    the parent always has a lower serial number than the activator.

   --  Never_Abortable is used for calls that are made in a abort
   --  deferred region (see ARM 9.8(5-11), 9.8 (20)).
   --  Such a call is never abortable.

   --  The Was_ vs. Not_Yet_ distinction is needed to decide whether it
   --  is OK to advance into the abortable part of an async. select stmt.
   --  That is allowed iff the mode is Now_ or Was_.

   --  Done indicates the call has been completed, without cancellation,
   --  or no call has been made yet at this ATC nesting level,
   --  and so aborting the call is no longer an issue.
   --  Completion of the call does not necessarily indicate "success";
   --  the call may be returning an exception if Exception_To_Raise is
   --  non-null.

   --  Cancelled indicates the call was cancelled,
   --  and so aborting the call is no longer an issue.

   --  The call is on an entry queue unless
   --  State >= Done, in which case it may or may not be still Onqueue.

   --  Please do not modify the order of the values, without checking
   --  all uses of this type. We rely on partial "monotonicity" of
   --  Entry_Call_Record.State to avoid locking when we access this
   --  value for certain tests. In particular:

   --  1)  Once State >= Done, we can rely that the call has been
   --      completed. If State >= Done, it will not
   --      change until the task does another entry call at this level.

   --  2)  Once State >= Was_Abortable, we can rely that the call has
   --      been queued abortably at least once, and so the check for
   --      whether it is OK to advance to the abortable part of an
   --      async. select statement does not need to lock anything.

   --  Notes on protection (synchronization) of TRTS data structures

   --  task is created, since no other task can access the new task's
   --  state until creation is complete.

   --  The protection for each field is described in a comment starting with
   --  "Protection:".

   --  When a lock is used to protect an ATCB field, this lock is simply named

   --  Some protection is described in terms of tasks related to the
   --  ATCB being protected. These are:

   --    Self:      The task which is controlled by this ATCB
   --    Acceptor:  A task accepting a call from Self
   --    Caller:    A task calling an entry of Self
   --    Parent:    The task executing the master on which Self depends
   --    Dependent: A task dependent on Self
   --    Activator: The task that created Self and initiated its activation
   --    Created:   A task created and activated by Self

   --  Note: The order of the fields is important to implement efficiently
   --  tasking support under gdb.
   --  Currently gdb relies on the order of the State, Parent, Base_Priority,
   --  Task_Image, Task_Image_Len, Call and LL fields.
