b2b95a58b4 add fast path for normal mutexes back to pthread_mutex_lock 2011-08-07 04:50:02 -04:00

c68de0be2f avoid accessing mutex memory after atomic unlock
this change is needed to fix a race condition and ensure that it's
possible to unlock and destroy or unmap the mutex as soon as
pthread_mutex_lock succeeds. POSIX explicitly gives such an example in
the rationale and requires an implementation to allow such usage.

ec2e50d0d7 cheap trick to further optimize locking normal mutexes 2011-04-14 14:39:57 -04:00

124b4ebc8a cheap special-case optimization for normal mutexes
cycle-level benchmark on atom cpu showed typical pthread_mutex_lock
call dropping from ~120 cycles to ~90 cycles with this change. benefit
may vary with compiler options and version, but this optimization is
very cheap to make and should always help some.

047e434ef5 implement robust mutexes
some of this code should be cleaned up, e.g. using macros for some of
the bit flags, masks, etc. nonetheless, the code is believed to be
working and correct at this point.

b1c43161c2 unify lock and owner fields of mutex structure
this change is necessary to free up one slot in the mutex structure so
that we can use doubly-linked lists in the implementation of robust
mutexes.

e882756311 reorganize pthread data structures and move the definitions to alltypes.h
this allows sys/types.h to provide the pthread types, as required by
POSIX. this design also facilitates forcing ABI-compatible sizes in
the arch-specific alltypes.h, while eliminating the need for
developers changing the internals of the pthread types to poke around
with arch-specific headers they may not be able to test.
