    31 // Native Monitor-Mutex locking - theory of operations
       
    32 //
       
    33 // * Native Monitors are completely unrelated to Java-level monitors,
       
    34 //   although the "back-end" slow-path implementations share a common lineage.
       
    35 //   See objectMonitor:: in synchronizer.cpp.
       
    36 //   Native Monitors do *not* support nesting or recursion but otherwise
       
    37 //   they're basically Hoare-flavor monitors.
       
    38 //
       
    39 // * A thread acquires ownership of a Monitor/Mutex by CASing the LockByte
       
    40 //   in the _LockWord from zero to non-zero.  Note that the _Owner field
       
    41 //   is advisory and is used only to verify that the thread calling unlock()
       
    42 //   is indeed the last thread to have acquired the lock.
       
    43 //
       
    44 // * Contending threads "push" themselves onto the front of the contention
       
    45 //   queue -- called the cxq -- with CAS and then spin/park.
       
    46 //   The _LockWord contains the LockByte as well as the pointer to the head
       
    47 //   of the cxq.  Colocating the LockByte with the cxq precludes certain races.
       
    48 //
       
    49 // * Using a separately addressable LockByte allows for CAS:MEMBAR or CAS:0
       
    50 //   idioms.  We currently use MEMBAR in the uncontended unlock() path, as
       
    51 //   MEMBAR often has less latency than CAS.  If warranted, we could switch to
       
    52 //   a CAS:0 mode, using timers to close the resultant race, as is done
       
    53 //   with Java Monitors in synchronizer.cpp.
       
    54 //
       
    55 //   See the following for a discussion of the relative cost of atomics (CAS)
       
    56 //   MEMBAR, and ways to eliminate such instructions from the common-case paths:

    60 //   -- synchronizer.cpp
       
    61 //
       
    62 // * Overall goals - desiderata
       
    63 //   1. Minimize context switching
       
    64 //   2. Minimize lock migration
       
    65 //   3. Minimize CPI -- affinity and locality
       
    66 //   4. Minimize the execution of high-latency instructions such as CAS or MEMBAR
       
    67 //   5. Minimize outer lock hold times
       
    68 //   6. Behave gracefully on a loaded system
       
    69 //
       
    70 // * Thread flow and list residency:
       
    71 //
       
    72 //   Contention queue --> EntryList --> OnDeck --> Owner --> !Owner
       
    73 //   [..resident on monitor list..]
       
    74 //   [...........contending..................]
       
    75 //
       
    76 //   -- The contention queue (cxq) contains recently-arrived threads (RATs).
       
    77 //      Threads on the cxq eventually drain into the EntryList.
       
    78 //   -- Invariant: a thread appears on at most one list -- cxq, EntryList
       
    79 //      or WaitSet -- at any one time.
       
    80 //   -- For a given monitor there can be at most one "OnDeck" thread at any
       
    81 //      given time but if needbe this particular invariant could be relaxed.
       
    82 //
       
    83 // * The WaitSet and EntryList linked lists are composed of ParkEvents.
       
    84 //   I use ParkEvent instead of threads as ParkEvents are immortal and
       
    85 //   type-stable, meaning we can safely unpark() a possibly stale
       
    86 //   list element in the unlock()-path.  (That's benign).
       
    87 //
       
    88 // * Succession policy - providing for progress:
       
    89 //
       
    90 //   As necessary, the unlock()ing thread identifies, unlinks, and unparks
       
    91 //   an "heir presumptive" tentative successor thread from the EntryList.
       
    92 //   This becomes the so-called "OnDeck" thread, of which there can be only
       
    93 //   one at any given time for a given monitor.  The wakee will recontend
       
    94 //   for ownership of monitor.
       
    95 //
       
    96 //   Succession is provided for by a policy of competitive handoff.
       
    97 //   The exiting thread does _not_ grant or pass ownership to the
       
    98 //   successor thread.  (This is also referred to as "handoff" succession").
       
    99 //   Instead the exiting thread releases ownership and possibly wakes
       
   100 //   a successor, so the successor can (re)compete for ownership of the lock.
       
   101 //
       
   102 //   Competitive handoff provides excellent overall throughput at the expense
       
   103 //   of short-term fairness.  If fairness is a concern then one remedy might
       
   104 //   be to add an AcquireCounter field to the monitor.  After a thread acquires
       
   105 //   the lock it will decrement the AcquireCounter field.  When the count
       
   106 //   reaches 0 the thread would reset the AcquireCounter variable, abdicate
       
   107 //   the lock directly to some thread on the EntryList, and then move itself to the
       
   108 //   tail of the EntryList.
       
   109 //
       
   110 //   But in practice most threads engage or otherwise participate in resource
       
   111 //   bounded producer-consumer relationships, so lock domination is not usually
       
   112 //   a practical concern.  Recall too, that in general it's easier to construct
       
   113 //   a fair lock from a fast lock, but not vice-versa.
       
   114 //
       
   115 // * The cxq can have multiple concurrent "pushers" but only one concurrent
       
   116 //   detaching thread.  This mechanism is immune from the ABA corruption.
       
   117 //   More precisely, the CAS-based "push" onto cxq is ABA-oblivious.
       
   118 //   We use OnDeck as a pseudo-lock to enforce the at-most-one detaching
       
   119 //   thread constraint.
       
   120 //
       
   121 // * Taken together, the cxq and the EntryList constitute or form a
       
   122 //   single logical queue of threads stalled trying to acquire the lock.
       
   123 //   We use two distinct lists to reduce heat on the list ends.
       
   124 //   Threads in lock() enqueue onto cxq while threads in unlock() will
       
   125 //   dequeue from the EntryList.  (c.f. Michael Scott's "2Q" algorithm).
       
   126 //   A key desideratum is to minimize queue & monitor metadata manipulation
       
   127 //   that occurs while holding the "outer" monitor lock -- that is, we want to
       
   128 //   minimize monitor lock holds times.
       
   129 //
       
   130 //   The EntryList is ordered by the prevailing queue discipline and
       
   131 //   can be organized in any convenient fashion, such as a doubly-linked list or
       
   132 //   a circular doubly-linked list.  If we need a priority queue then something akin
       
   133 //   to Solaris' sleepq would work nicely.  Viz.,
       
   134 //   -- http://agg.eng/ws/on10_nightly/source/usr/src/uts/common/os/sleepq.c.
       
   135 //   -- http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/os/sleepq.c
       
   136 //   Queue discipline is enforced at ::unlock() time, when the unlocking thread
       
   137 //   drains the cxq into the EntryList, and orders or reorders the threads on the
       
   138 //   EntryList accordingly.
       
   139 //
       
   140 //   Barring "lock barging", this mechanism provides fair cyclic ordering,
       
   141 //   somewhat similar to an elevator-scan.
       
   142 //
       
   143 // * OnDeck
       
   144 //   --  For a given monitor there can be at most one OnDeck thread at any given
       
   145 //       instant.  The OnDeck thread is contending for the lock, but has been
       
   146 //       unlinked from the EntryList and cxq by some previous unlock() operations.
       
   147 //       Once a thread has been designated the OnDeck thread it will remain so
       
   148 //       until it manages to acquire the lock -- being OnDeck is a stable property.
       
   149 //   --  Threads on the EntryList or cxq are _not allowed to attempt lock acquisition.
       
   150 //   --  OnDeck also serves as an "inner lock" as follows.  Threads in unlock() will, after
       
   151 //       having cleared the LockByte and dropped the outer lock,  attempt to "trylock"
       
   152 //       OnDeck by CASing the field from null to non-null.  If successful, that thread
       
   153 //       is then responsible for progress and succession and can use CAS to detach and
       
   154 //       drain the cxq into the EntryList.  By convention, only this thread, the holder of
       
   155 //       the OnDeck inner lock, can manipulate the EntryList or detach and drain the
       
   156 //       RATs on the cxq into the EntryList.  This avoids ABA corruption on the cxq as
       
   157 //       we allow multiple concurrent "push" operations but restrict detach concurrency
       
   158 //       to at most one thread.  Having selected and detached a successor, the thread then
       
   159 //       changes the OnDeck to refer to that successor, and then unparks the successor.
       
   160 //       That successor will eventually acquire the lock and clear OnDeck.  Beware
       
   161 //       that the OnDeck usage as a lock is asymmetric.  A thread in unlock() transiently
       
   162 //       "acquires" OnDeck, performs queue manipulations, passes OnDeck to some successor,
       
   163 //       and then the successor eventually "drops" OnDeck.  Note that there's never
       
   164 //       any sense of contention on the inner lock, however.  Threads never contend
       
   165 //       or wait for the inner lock.
       
   166 //   --  OnDeck provides for futile wakeup throttling a described in section 3.3 of
       
   167 //       See http://www.usenix.org/events/jvm01/full_papers/dice/dice.pdf
       
   168 //       In a sense, OnDeck subsumes the ObjectMonitor _Succ and ObjectWaiter
       
   169 //       TState fields found in Java-level objectMonitors.  (See synchronizer.cpp).
       
   170 //
       
   171 // * Waiting threads reside on the WaitSet list -- wait() puts
       
   172 //   the caller onto the WaitSet.  Notify() or notifyAll() simply
       
   173 //   transfers threads from the WaitSet to either the EntryList or cxq.
       
   174 //   Subsequent unlock() operations will eventually unpark the notifyee.
       
   175 //   Unparking a notifee in notify() proper is inefficient - if we were to do so
       
   176 //   it's likely the notifyee would simply impale itself on the lock held
       
   177 //   by the notifier.
       
   178 //
       
   179 // * The mechanism is obstruction-free in that if the holder of the transient
       
   180 //   OnDeck lock in unlock() is preempted or otherwise stalls, other threads
       
   181 //   can still acquire and release the outer lock and continue to make progress.
       
   182 //   At worst, waking of already blocked contending threads may be delayed,
       
   183 //   but nothing worse.  (We only use "trylock" operations on the inner OnDeck
       
   184 //   lock).
       
   185 //
       
   186 // * Note that thread-local storage must be initialized before a thread
       
   187 //   uses Native monitors or mutexes.  The native monitor-mutex subsystem
       
   188 //   depends on Thread::current().
       
   189 //
       
   190 // * The monitor synchronization subsystem avoids the use of native
       
   191 //   synchronization primitives except for the narrow platform-specific
       
   192 //   park-unpark abstraction.  See the comments in os_solaris.cpp regarding
       
   193 //   the semantics of park-unpark.  Put another way, this monitor implementation
       
   194 //   depends only on atomic operations and park-unpark.  The monitor subsystem
       
   195 //   manages all RUNNING->BLOCKED and BLOCKED->READY transitions while the
       
   196 //   underlying OS manages the READY<->RUN transitions.
       
   197 //
       
   198 // * The memory consistency model provide by lock()-unlock() is at least as
       
   199 //   strong or stronger than the Java Memory model defined by JSR-133.
       
   200 //   That is, we guarantee at least entry consistency, if not stronger.
       
   201 //   See http://g.oswego.edu/dl/jmm/cookbook.html.
       
   202 //
       
   203 // * Thread:: currently contains a set of purpose-specific ParkEvents:
       
   204 //   _MutexEvent, _ParkEvent, etc.  A better approach might be to do away with
       
   205 //   the purpose-specific ParkEvents and instead implement a general per-thread
       
   206 //   stack of available ParkEvents which we could provision on-demand.  The
       
   207 //   stack acts as a local cache to avoid excessive calls to ParkEvent::Allocate()
       
   208 //   and ::Release().  A thread would simply pop an element from the local stack before it
       
   209 //   enqueued or park()ed.  When the contention was over the thread would
       
   210 //   push the no-longer-needed ParkEvent back onto its stack.
       
   211 //
       
   212 // * A slightly reduced form of ILock() and IUnlock() have been partially
       
   213 //   model-checked (Murphi) for safety and progress at T=1,2,3 and 4.
       
   214 //   It'd be interesting to see if TLA/TLC could be useful as well.
       
   215 //
       
   216 // * Mutex-Monitor is a low-level "leaf" subsystem.  That is, the monitor
       
   217 //   code should never call other code in the JVM that might itself need to
       
   218 //   acquire monitors or mutexes.  That's true *except* in the case of the
       
   219 //   ThreadBlockInVM state transition wrappers.  The ThreadBlockInVM DTOR handles
       
   220 //   mutator reentry (ingress) by checking for a pending safepoint in which case it will
       
   221 //   call SafepointSynchronize::block(), which in turn may call Safepoint_lock->lock(), etc.
       
   222 //   In that particular case a call to lock() for a given Monitor can end up recursively
       
   223 //   calling lock() on another monitor.   While distasteful, this is largely benign
       
   224 //   as the calls come from jacket that wraps lock(), and not from deep within lock() itself.
       
   225 //
       
   226 //   It's unfortunate that native mutexes and thread state transitions were convolved.
       
   227 //   They're really separate concerns and should have remained that way.  Melding
       
   228 //   them together was facile -- a bit too facile.   The current implementation badly
       
   229 //   conflates the two concerns.

   832 // ON THE VMTHREAD SNEAKING PAST HELD LOCKS:
       
   833 // In particular, there are certain types of global lock that may be held
       
   834 // by a Java thread while it is blocked at a safepoint but before it has
       
   835 // written the _owner field. These locks may be sneakily acquired by the
       
   836 // VM thread during a safepoint to avoid deadlocks. Alternatively, one should
       
   837 // identify all such locks, and ensure that Java threads never block at
       
   838 // safepoints while holding them (_no_safepoint_check_flag). While it
       
   839 // seems as though this could increase the time to reach a safepoint
       
   840 // (or at least increase the mean, if not the variance), the latter
       
   841 // approach might make for a cleaner, more maintainable JVM design.
       
   842 //
       
   843 // Sneaking is vile and reprehensible and should be excised at the 1st
       
   844 // opportunity.  It's possible that the need for sneaking could be obviated
       
   845 // as follows.  Currently, a thread might (a) while TBIVM, call pthread_mutex_lock
       
   846 // or ILock() thus acquiring the "physical" lock underlying Monitor/Mutex.
       
   847 // (b) stall at the TBIVM exit point as a safepoint is in effect.  Critically,
       
   848 // it'll stall at the TBIVM reentry state transition after having acquired the
       
   849 // underlying lock, but before having set _owner and having entered the actual
       
   850 // critical section.  The lock-sneaking facility leverages that fact and allowed the
       
   851 // VM thread to logically acquire locks that had already be physically locked by mutators
       
   852 // but where mutators were known blocked by the reentry thread state transition.
       
   853 //
       
   854 // If we were to modify the Monitor-Mutex so that TBIVM state transitions tightly
       
   855 // wrapped calls to park(), then we could likely do away with sneaking.  We'd
       
   856 // decouple lock acquisition and parking.  The critical invariant  to eliminating
       
   857 // sneaking is to ensure that we never "physically" acquire the lock while TBIVM.
       
   858 // An easy way to accomplish this is to wrap the park calls in a narrow TBIVM jacket.
       
   859 // One difficulty with this approach is that the TBIVM wrapper could recurse and
       
   860 // call lock() deep from within a lock() call, while the MutexEvent was already enqueued.
       
   861 // Using a stack (N=2 at minimum) of ParkEvents would take care of that problem.
       
   862 //
