// This class describes operations to implement Store-Free Biased
|
|
26 |
// Locking. The high-level properties of the scheme are similar to
|
|
27 |
// IBM's lock reservation, Dice-Moir-Scherer QR locks, and other biased
|
|
28 |
// locking mechanisms. The principal difference is in the handling of
|
|
29 |
// recursive locking which is how this technique achieves a more
|
|
30 |
// efficient fast path than these other schemes.
|
|
31 |
//
|
|
32 |
// The basic observation is that in HotSpot's current fast locking
|
|
33 |
// scheme, recursive locking (in the fast path) causes no update to
|
|
34 |
// the object header. The recursion is described simply by stack
|
|
35 |
// records containing a specific value (NULL). Only the last unlock by
|
|
36 |
// a given thread causes an update to the object header.
|
|
37 |
//
|
|
38 |
// This observation, coupled with the fact that HotSpot only compiles
|
|
39 |
// methods for which monitor matching is obeyed (and which therefore
|
|
40 |
// can not throw IllegalMonitorStateException), implies that we can
|
|
41 |
// completely eliminate modifications to the object header for
|
|
42 |
// recursive locking in compiled code, and perform similar recursion
|
|
43 |
// checks and throwing of IllegalMonitorStateException in the
|
|
44 |
// interpreter with little or no impact on the performance of the fast
|
|
45 |
// path.
|
|
46 |
//
|
|
47 |
// The basic algorithm is as follows (note, see below for more details
|
|
48 |
// and information). A pattern in the low three bits is reserved in
|
|
49 |
// the object header to indicate whether biasing of a given object's
|
|
50 |
// lock is currently being done or is allowed at all. If the bias
|
|
51 |
// pattern is present, the contents of the rest of the header are
|
|
52 |
// either the JavaThread* of the thread to which the lock is biased,
|
|
53 |
// or NULL, indicating that the lock is "anonymously biased". The
|
|
54 |
// first thread which locks an anonymously biased object biases the
|
|
55 |
// lock toward that thread. If another thread subsequently attempts to
|
|
56 |
// lock the same object, the bias is revoked.
|
|
57 |
//
|
|
58 |
// Because there are no updates to the object header at all during
|
|
59 |
// recursive locking while the lock is biased, the biased lock entry
|
|
60 |
// code is simply a test of the object header's value. If this test
|
|
61 |
// succeeds, the lock has been acquired by the thread. If this test
|
|
62 |
// fails, a bit test is done to see whether the bias bit is still
|
|
63 |
// set. If not, we fall back to HotSpot's original CAS-based locking
|
|
64 |
// scheme. If it is set, we attempt to CAS in a bias toward this
|
|
65 |
// thread. The latter operation is expected to be the rarest operation
|
|
66 |
// performed on these locks. We optimistically expect the biased lock
|
|
67 |
// entry to hit most of the time, and want the CAS-based fallthrough
|
|
68 |
// to occur quickly in the situations where the bias has been revoked.
|
|
69 |
//
|
|
70 |
// Revocation of the lock's bias is fairly straightforward. We want to
|
|
71 |
// restore the object's header and stack-based BasicObjectLocks and
|
|
72 |
// BasicLocks to the state they would have been in had the object been
|
|
73 |
// locked by HotSpot's usual fast locking scheme. To do this, we bring
|
|
74 |
// the system to a safepoint and walk the stack of the thread toward
|
|
75 |
// which the lock is biased. We find all of the lock records on the
|
|
76 |
// stack corresponding to this object, in particular the first /
|
|
77 |
// "highest" record. We fill in the highest lock record with the
|
|
78 |
// object's displaced header (which is a well-known value given that
|
|
79 |
// we don't maintain an identity hash nor age bits for the object
|
|
80 |
// while it's in the biased state) and all other lock records with 0,
|
|
81 |
// the value for recursive locks. When the safepoint is released, the
|
|
82 |
// formerly-biased thread and all other threads revert back to
|
|
83 |
// HotSpot's CAS-based locking.
|
|
84 |
//
|
|
85 |
// This scheme can not handle transfers of biases of single objects
|
|
86 |
// from thread to thread efficiently, but it can handle bulk transfers
|
|
87 |
// of such biases, which is a usage pattern showing up in some
|
|
88 |
// applications and benchmarks. We implement "bulk rebias" and "bulk
|
|
89 |
// revoke" operations using a "bias epoch" on a per-data-type basis.
|
|
90 |
// If too many bias revocations are occurring for a particular data
|
|
91 |
// type, the bias epoch for the data type is incremented at a
|
|
92 |
// safepoint, effectively meaning that all previous biases are
|
|
93 |
// invalid. The fast path locking case checks for an invalid epoch in
|
|
94 |
// the object header and attempts to rebias the object with a CAS if
|
|
95 |
// found, avoiding safepoints or bulk heap sweeps (the latter which
|
|
96 |
// was used in a prior version of this algorithm and did not scale
|
|
97 |
// well). If too many bias revocations persist, biasing is completely
|
|
98 |
// disabled for the data type by resetting the prototype header to the
|
|
99 |
// unbiased markOop. The fast-path locking code checks to see whether
|
|
100 |
// the instance's bias pattern differs from the prototype header's and
|
|
101 |
// causes the bias to be revoked without reaching a safepoint or,
|
|
102 |
// again, a bulk heap sweep.
