// Theory of operations -- Monitors lists, thread residency, etc:
//
// * A thread acquires ownership of a monitor by successfully
// CAS()ing the _owner field from null to non-null.
//
// * Invariant: A thread appears on at most one monitor list --
// cxq, EntryList or WaitSet -- at any one time.
//
// * Contending threads "push" themselves onto the cxq with CAS
// and then spin/park.
//
// * After a contending thread eventually acquires the lock it must
// dequeue itself from either the EntryList or the cxq.
//
// * The exiting thread identifies and unparks an "heir presumptive"
// tentative successor thread on the EntryList. Critically, the
// exiting thread doesn't unlink the successor thread from the EntryList.
// After having been unparked, the wakee will recontend for ownership of
// the monitor. The successor (wakee) will either acquire the lock or
// re-park itself.
//
// Succession is provided for by a policy of competitive handoff.
// The exiting thread does _not_ grant or pass ownership to the
// successor thread. (This is also referred to as "handoff" succession").
// Instead the exiting thread releases ownership and possibly wakes
// a successor, so the successor can (re)compete for ownership of the lock.
// If the EntryList is empty but the cxq is populated the exiting
// thread will drain the cxq into the EntryList. It does so by
// by detaching the cxq (installing null with CAS) and folding
// the threads from the cxq into the EntryList. The EntryList is
// doubly linked, while the cxq is singly linked because of the
// CAS-based "push" used to enqueue recently arrived threads (RATs).
//
// * Concurrency invariants:
//
// -- only the monitor owner may access or mutate the EntryList.
// The mutex property of the monitor itself protects the EntryList
// from concurrent interference.
// -- Only the monitor owner may detach the cxq.
//
// * The monitor entry list operations avoid locks, but strictly speaking
// they're not lock-free. Enter is lock-free, exit is not.
// See http://j2se.east/~dice/PERSIST/040825-LockFreeQueues.html
//
// * The cxq can have multiple concurrent "pushers" but only one concurrent
// detaching thread. This mechanism is immune from the ABA corruption.
// More precisely, the CAS-based "push" onto cxq is ABA-oblivious.
//
// * Taken together, the cxq and the EntryList constitute or form a
// single logical queue of threads stalled trying to acquire the lock.
// We use two distinct lists to improve the odds of a constant-time
// dequeue operation after acquisition (in the ::enter() epilog) and
// to reduce heat on the list ends. (c.f. Michael Scott's "2Q" algorithm).
// A key desideratum is to minimize queue & monitor metadata manipulation
// that occurs while holding the monitor lock -- that is, we want to
// minimize monitor lock holds times. Note that even a small amount of
// fixed spinning will greatly reduce the # of enqueue-dequeue operations
// on EntryList|cxq. That is, spinning relieves contention on the "inner"
// locks and monitor metadata.
//
// Cxq points to the the set of Recently Arrived Threads attempting entry.
// Because we push threads onto _cxq with CAS, the RATs must take the form of
// a singly-linked LIFO. We drain _cxq into EntryList at unlock-time when
// the unlocking thread notices that EntryList is null but _cxq is != null.
//
// The EntryList is ordered by the prevailing queue discipline and
// can be organized in any convenient fashion, such as a doubly-linked list or
// a circular doubly-linked list. Critically, we want insert and delete operations
// to operate in constant-time. If we need a priority queue then something akin
// to Solaris' sleepq would work nicely. Viz.,
// http://agg.eng/ws/on10_nightly/source/usr/src/uts/common/os/sleepq.c.
// Queue discipline is enforced at ::exit() time, when the unlocking thread
// drains the cxq into the EntryList, and orders or reorders the threads on the
// EntryList accordingly.
//
// Barring "lock barging", this mechanism provides fair cyclic ordering,
// somewhat similar to an elevator-scan.
//
// * The monitor synchronization subsystem avoids the use of native
// synchronization primitives except for the narrow platform-specific
// park-unpark abstraction. See the comments in os_solaris.cpp regarding
// the semantics of park-unpark. Put another way, this monitor implementation
// depends only on atomic operations and park-unpark. The monitor subsystem
// manages all RUNNING->BLOCKED and BLOCKED->READY transitions while the
// underlying OS manages the READY<->RUN transitions.
//
// * Waiting threads reside on the WaitSet list -- wait() puts
// the caller onto the WaitSet.
//
// * notify() or notifyAll() simply transfers threads from the WaitSet to
// either the EntryList or cxq. Subsequent exit() operations will
// unpark the notifyee. Unparking a notifee in notify() is inefficient -
// it's likely the notifyee would simply impale itself on the lock held
// by the notifier.
//
// * An interesting alternative is to encode cxq as (List,LockByte) where
// the LockByte is 0 iff the monitor is owned. _owner is simply an auxiliary
// variable, like _recursions, in the scheme. The threads or Events that form
// the list would have to be aligned in 256-byte addresses. A thread would
// try to acquire the lock or enqueue itself with CAS, but exiting threads
// could use a 1-0 protocol and simply STB to set the LockByte to 0.
// Note that is is *not* word-tearing, but it does presume that full-word
// CAS operations are coherent with intermix with STB operations. That's true
// on most common processors.

// 1-0 exit
// ~~~~~~~~
// ::exit() uses a canonical 1-1 idiom with a MEMBAR although some of
// the fast-path operators have been optimized so the common ::exit()
// operation is 1-0. See i486.ad fast_unlock(), for instance.
// The code emitted by fast_unlock() elides the usual MEMBAR. This
// greatly improves latency -- MEMBAR and CAS having considerable local
// latency on modern processors -- but at the cost of "stranding". Absent the
// MEMBAR, a thread in fast_unlock() can race a thread in the slow
// ::enter() path, resulting in the entering thread being stranding
// and a progress-liveness failure. Stranding is extremely rare.
// We use timers (timed park operations) & periodic polling to detect
// and recover from stranding. Potentially stranded threads periodically
// wake up and poll the lock. See the usage of the _Responsible variable.
//
// The CAS() in enter provides for safety and exclusion, while the CAS or
// MEMBAR in exit provides for progress and avoids stranding. 1-0 locking
// eliminates the CAS/MEMBAR from the exist path, but it admits stranding.
// We detect and recover from stranding with timers.
//
// If a thread transiently strands it'll park until (a) another
// thread acquires the lock and then drops the lock, at which time the
// exiting thread will notice and unpark the stranded thread, or, (b)
// the timer expires. If the lock is high traffic then the stranding latency
// will be low due to (a). If the lock is low traffic then the odds of
// stranding are lower, although the worst-case stranding latency
// is longer. Critically, we don't want to put excessive load in the
// platform's timer subsystem. We want to minimize both the timer injection
// rate (timers created/sec) as well as the number of timers active at
// any one time. (more precisely, we want to minimize timer-seconds, which is
// the integral of the # of active timers at any instant over time).
// Both impinge on OS scalability. Given that, at most one thread parked on

// Adaptive Spinning Support
//
// Adaptive spin-then-block - rational spinning
//
// Note that we spin "globally" on _owner with a classic SMP-polite TATAS
// algorithm. On high order SMP systems it would be better to start with
// a brief global spin and then revert to spinning locally. In the spirit of MCS/CLH,
// a contending thread could enqueue itself on the cxq and then spin locally
// on a thread-specific variable such as its ParkEvent._Event flag.
// That's left as an exercise for the reader. Note that global spinning is
// not problematic on Niagara, as the L2$ serves the interconnect and has both
// low latency and massive bandwidth.
//
// Broadly, we can fix the spin frequency -- that is, the % of contended lock
// acquisition attempts where we opt to spin -- at 100% and vary the spin count
// (duration) or we can fix the count at approximately the duration of
// a context switch and vary the frequency. Of course we could also
// vary both satisfying K == Frequency * Duration, where K is adaptive by monitor.
// See http://j2se.east/~dice/PERSIST/040824-AdaptiveSpinning.html.
//
// This implementation varies the duration "D", where D varies with
// the success rate of recent spin attempts. (D is capped at approximately
// length of a round-trip context switch). The success rate for recent
// spin attempts is a good predictor of the success rate of future spin
// attempts. The mechanism adapts automatically to varying critical
// section length (lock modality), system load and degree of parallelism.
// D is maintained per-monitor in _SpinDuration and is initialized
// optimistically. Spin frequency is fixed at 100%.
//
// Note that _SpinDuration is volatile, but we update it without locks
// or atomics. The code is designed so that _SpinDuration stays within
// a reasonable range even in the presence of races. The arithmetic
// operations on _SpinDuration are closed over the domain of legal values,
// so at worst a race will install and older but still legal value.
// At the very worst this introduces some apparent non-determinism.
// We might spin when we shouldn't or vice-versa, but since the spin
// count are relatively short, even in the worst case, the effect is harmless.
//
// Care must be taken that a low "D" value does not become an
// an absorbing state. Transient spinning failures -- when spinning
// is overall profitable -- should not cause the system to converge
// on low "D" values. We want spinning to be stable and predictable
// and fairly responsive to change and at the same time we don't want
// it to oscillate, become metastable, be "too" non-deterministic,
// or converge on or enter undesirable stable absorbing states.
//
// We implement a feedback-based control system -- using past behavior
// to predict future behavior. We face two issues: (a) if the
// input signal is random then the spin predictor won't provide optimal
// results, and (b) if the signal frequency is too high then the control
// system, which has some natural response lag, will "chase" the signal.
// (b) can arise from multimodal lock hold times. Transient preemption
// can also result in apparent bimodal lock hold times.
// Although sub-optimal, neither condition is particularly harmful, as
// in the worst-case we'll spin when we shouldn't or vice-versa.
// The maximum spin duration is rather short so the failure modes aren't bad.
// To be conservative, I've tuned the gain in system to bias toward
// _not spinning. Relatedly, the system can sometimes enter a mode where it
// "rings" or oscillates between spinning and not spinning. This happens
// when spinning is just on the cusp of profitability, however, so the
// situation is not dire. The state is benign -- there's no need to add
// hysteresis control to damp the transition rate between spinning and
// not spinning.

// observed by NotRunnable() might be garbage. NotRunnable must
// tolerate this and consider the observed _thread_state value
// as advisory.
//
// Beware too, that _owner is sometimes a BasicLock address and sometimes
// a thread pointer. We differentiate the two cases with OwnerIsThread.
// Alternately, we might tag the type (thread pointer vs basiclock pointer)
// with the LSB of _owner. Another option would be to probablistically probe
// the putative _owner->TypeTag value.
//
// Checking _thread_state isn't perfect. Even if the thread is
// in_java it might be blocked on a page-fault or have been preempted
// and sitting on a ready/dispatch queue. _thread state in conjunction
// with schedctl.sc_state gives us a good picture of what the
// thread is doing, however.
//
// TODO: check schedctl.sc_state.
// We'll need to use SafeFetch32() to read from the schedctl block.
