New pthread rwlock that is more scalable.
This replaces the pthread rwlock with a new implementation that uses a more scalable algorithm (primarily through not using a critical section anymore to make state changes). The fast path for rdlock acquisition and release is now basically a single atomic read-modify write or CAS and a few branches.

All critical sections are + in a total order, writers synchronize with prior writers and readers, and + readers synchronize with prior writers. + + A thread is allowed to acquire a read lock recursively (i.e., have rdlock + critical sections that overlap in sequenced-before) unless the kind of the + rwlock is set to PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITERS_NONRECURSIVE_NP. + + This lock is built so that workloads of mostly readers can be executed with + low runtime overheads. This matches that the default kind of the lock is + PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_READER_NP. Acquiring a read lock requires a single + atomic addition if the lock is or was previously acquired by other + readers; releasing the lock is a single CAS if there are no concurrent + writers. + Workloads consisting of mostly writers are of secondary importance. + An uncontended write lock acquisition is as fast as for a normal + exclusive mutex but writer contention is somewhat more costly due to + keeping track of the exact number of writers. If the rwlock kind requests + writers to be preferred (i.e., PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITERS_NP or the + no-recursive-readers variant of it), then writer--to--writer lock ownership + hand-over is fairly fast and bypasses lock acquisition attempts by readers. + The costs of lock ownership transfer between readers and writers vary. If + the program asserts that there are no recursive readers and writers are + preferred, then write lock acquisition attempts will block subsequent read + lock acquisition attempts, so that new incoming readers do not prolong a + phase in which readers have acquired the lock. + + + The main components of the rwlock are a writer-only lock that allows only + one of the concurrent writers to be the primary writer, and a + single-writer-multiple-readers lock that decides between read phases, in + which readers have acquired the rwlock, and write phases in which a primary + writer or a sequence of different primary writers have acquired the rwlock. + + The single-writer-multiple-readers lock is the central piece of state + describing the rwlock and is encoded in the __readers field (see below for + a detailed explanation): + + State WP WL R RW Notes + --------------------------- + #1 0 0 0 0 Lock is idle (and in a read phase). + #2 0 0 >0 0 Readers have acquired the lock. + #3 0 1 0 0 Lock is not acquired; a writer is waiting for a write + phase to start or will try to start one. + #4 0 1 >0 0 Readers have acquired the lock; a writer is waiting + and explicit hand-over to the writer is required. + #4a 0 1 >0 1 Same as #4 except that there are further readers + waiting because the writer is to be preferred. + #5 1 0 0 0 Lock is idle (and in a write phase). + #6 1 0 >0 0 Write phase; readers are waiting for a read phase to + start or will try to start one. + #7 1 1 0 0 Lock is acquired by a writer. + #8 1 1 >0 0 Lock acquired by a writer and readers are waiting; + explicit hand-over to the readers is required. + + WP (PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRPHASE) is true if the lock is in a write phase, so + potentially acquired by a primary writer. + WL (PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRLOCKED) is true if there is a primary writer (i.e., + the thread that was able to set this bit from false to true). + R (all bits in __readers except the number of least-significant bits + denoted in PTHREAD_RWLOCK_READER_SHIFT) is the number of readers that have + or are trying to acquired the lock. There may be more readers waiting if + writers are preferred and there will be no recursive readers, in which + case RW (PTHREAD_RWLOCK_RWAITING) is true in state #4a. + + We want to block using futexes but using __readers as a futex word directly + is not a good solution. First, we want to wait on different conditions + such as waiting for a phase change vs. waiting for the primary writer to + release the writer-only lock. Second, the number of readers could change + frequently, which would make it likely that a writer's futex_wait fails + frequently too because the expected value does not match the value of + __readers anymore. + Therefore, we split out the futex words into the __wrphase_futex and + __writers_futex fields. The former tracks the value of the WP bit and is + changed after changing WP by the thread that changes WP. However, because + of the POSIX requirements regarding mutex/rwlock destruction (i.e., that + destroying a rwlock is allowed as soon as no thread has acquired or will + acquire the lock), we have to be careful and hand over lock ownership (via + a phase change) carefully to those threads waiting. Specifically, we must + prevent a situation in which we are not quite sure whether we still have + to unblock another thread through a change to memory (executing a + futex_wake on a former futex word that is now used for something else is + fine). + The scheme we use for __wrphase_futex is that waiting threads that may + use the futex word to block now all have to use the futex word to block; it + is not allowed to take the short-cut and spin-wait on __readers because + then the waking thread cannot just make one final change to memory to + unblock all potentially waiting threads. If, for example, a reader + increments R in states #7 or #8, it has to then block until __wrphase_futex + is 0 and it can confirm that the value of 0 was stored by the primary + writer; in turn, the primary writer has to change to a read phase too when + releasing WL (i.e., to state #2), and it must change __wrphase_futex to 0 + as the next step. This ensures that the waiting reader will not be able to + acquire, release, and then destroy the lock concurrently with the pending + futex unblock operations by the former primary writer. This scheme is + called explicit hand-over in what follows. + Note that waiting threads can cancel waiting only if explicit hand-over has + not yet started (e.g., if __readers is still in states #7 or #8 in the + example above). + + Writers determine the primary writer through WL. Blocking using futexes + is performed using __writers_futex as a futex word; primary writers will + enable waiting on this futex by setting it to 1 after they acquired the WL + bit and will disable waiting by setting it to 0 before they release WL. + This leaves small windows where blocking using futexes is not possible + although a primary writer exists, but in turn decreases complexity of the + writer--writer synchronization and does not affect correctness. + If writers are preferred, writers can hand over WL directly to other + waiting writers that registered by incrementing __writers: If the primary + writer can CAS __writers from a non-zero value to the same value with the + PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRHANDOVER bit set, it effectively transfers WL ownership + to one of the registered waiting writers and does not reset WL; in turn, + a registered writer that can clear PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRHANDOVER using a CAS + then takes over WL. Note that registered waiting writers can cancel + waiting by decrementing __writers, but the last writer to unregister must + become the primary writer if PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRHANDOVER is set. + Also note that adding another state/bit to signal potential writer--writer + contention (e.g., as done in the normal mutex algorithm) would not be + helpful because we would have to conservatively assume that there is in + fact no other writer, and wake up readers too. + + To avoid having to call futex_wake when no thread uses __wrphase_futex or + __writers_futex, threads will set the PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED bit in the + respective futex words before waiting on it (using a CAS so it will only be + set if in a state in which waiting would be possible). In the case of + __writers_futex, we wake only one thread but several threads may share + PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED, so we must assume that there are still others. + This is similar to what we do in pthread_mutex_lock. We do not need to + do this for __wrphase_futex because there, we always wake all waiting + threads. + + Blocking in the state #4a simply uses __readers as futex word. This + simplifies the algorithm but suffers from some of the drawbacks discussed + before, though not to the same extent because R can only decrease in this + state, so the number of potentially failing futex_wait attempts will be + bounded. All threads moving from state #4a to another state must wake + up threads blocked on the __readers futex. + + The ordering invariants that we have to take care of in the implementation + are primarily those necessary for a reader--writer lock; this is rather + straightforward and happens during write/read phase switching (potentially + through explicit hand-over), and between writers through synchronization + involving the PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRLOCKED or PTHREAD_RWLOCK_WRHANDOVER bits. + Additionally, we need to take care that modifications of __writers_futex + and __wrphase_futex (e.g., by otherwise unordered readers) take place in + the writer critical sections or read/write phases, respectively, and that + explicit hand-over observes stores from the previous phase. How this is + done is explained in more detail in comments in the code. + + Many of the accesses to the futex words just need relaxed MO. This is + possible because we essentially drive both the core rwlock synchronization + and the futex synchronization in parallel. For example, an unlock will + unlock the rwlock and take part in the futex synchronization (using + PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED, see above); even if they are not tightly + ordered in some way, the futex synchronization ensures that there are no + lost wake-ups, and woken threads will then eventually see the most recent + state of the rwlock. IOW, waiting threads will always be woken up, while + not being able to wait using futexes (which can happen) is harmless; in + turn, this means that waiting threads don't need special ordering wrt. + waking threads. + + The futex synchronization consists of the three-state futex word: + (1) cannot block on it, (2) can block on it, and (3) there might be a + thread blocked on it (i.e., with PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED set). + Relaxed-MO atomic read-modify-write operations are sufficient to maintain + this (e.g., using a CAS to go from (2) to (3) but not from (1) to (3)), + but we need ordering of the futex word modifications by the waking threads + so that they collectively make correct state changes between (1)-(3). + The futex-internal synchronization (i.e., the conceptual critical sections + around futex operations in the kernel) then ensures that even an + unconstrained load (i.e., relaxed MO) inside of futex_wait will not lead to + lost wake-ups because either the waiting thread will see the change from + (3) to (1) when a futex_wake came first, or this futex_wake will wake this + waiting thread because the waiting thread came first. + + + POSIX allows but does not require rwlock acquisitions to be a cancellation + point. We do not support cancellation. + + TODO We do not try to elide any read or write lock acquisitions currently. + While this would be possible, it is unclear whether HTM performance is + currently predictable enough and our runtime tuning is good enough at + deciding when to use elision so that enabling it would lead to consistently + better performance. */ + + +static int +__pthread_rwlock_get_private (pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock) +{ + return rwlock->__data.__shared != 0 ?
