+# @(#)README	10.1 (Sleepycat) 4/12/97
+
+Resource locking routines: lock based on a db_mutex_t.  All this gunk
+(including trying to make assembly code portable), is necessary because
+System V semaphores require system calls for uncontested locks and we
+don't want to make two system calls per resource lock.
+
+First, this is how it works.  The db_mutex_t structure contains a resource
+test-and-set lock (tsl), a file offset, a pid for debugging and statistics
+information.
+
+If HAVE_SPINLOCKS is defined (i.e. we know how to do test-and-sets for
+this compiler/architecture combination), we try and lock the resource tsl
+TSL_DEFAULT_SPINS times.  If we can't acquire the lock that way, we use
+a system call to sleep for 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, etc.  (The time is bounded
+at 1 second, just in case.)  Using the timer backoff means that there are
+two assumptions: that locks are held for brief periods (never over system
+calls or I/O) and that locks are not hotly contested.
+
+If HAVE_SPINLOCKS is not defined, i.e. we can't do test-and-sets, we use
+a file descriptor to do byte locking on a file at a specified offset.  In
+this case, ALL of the locking is done in the kernel.  Because file
+descriptors are allocated per process, we have to provide the file
+descriptor as part of the lock/unlock call.  We still have to do timer
+backoff because we need to be able to block ourselves, i.e. the lock
+manager causes processes to wait by having the process acquire a mutex
+and then attempting to re-acquire the mutex.  There's no way to use kernel
+locking to block yourself, i.e. if you hold a lock and attempt to
+re-acquire it, the attempt will succeed.
+
+Next, let's talk about why it doesn't work the way a reasonable person
+would think it should work.
+
+Ideally, we'd have the ability to try to lock the resource tsl, and if
+that fails, increment a counter of waiting processes, then block in the
+kernel until the tsl is released.  The process holding the resource tsl
+would see the wait counter when it went to release the resource tsl, and
+would wake any waiting processes up after releasing the lock.  This would
+actually require both another tsl (call it the mutex tsl) and
+synchronization between the call that blocks in the kernel and the actual
+resource tsl.  The mutex tsl would be used to protect accesses to the
+db_mutex_t itself.  Locking the mutex tsl would be done by a busy loop,
+which is safe because processes would never block holding that tsl (all
+they would do is try to obtain the resource tsl and set/check the wait
+count).  The problem in this model is that the blocking call into the
+kernel requires a blocking semaphore, i.e. one whose normal state is
+locked.
+
+The only portable forms of locking under UNIX are fcntl(2) on a file
+descriptor/offset, and System V semaphores.  Neither of these locking
+methods are sufficient to solve the problem.
+
+The problem with fcntl locking is that only the process that obtained the
+lock can release it.  Remember, we want the normal state of the kernel
+semaphore to be locked.  So, if the creator of the db_mutex_t were to
+initialize the lock to "locked", then a second process locks the resource
+tsl, and then a third process needs to block, waiting for the resource
+tsl, when the second process wants to wake up the third process, it can't
+because it's not the holder of the lock!  For the second process to be
+the holder of the lock, we would have to make a system call per
+uncontested lock, which is what we were trying to get away from in the
+first place.
+
+There are some hybrid schemes, such as signaling the holder of the lock,
+or using a different blocking offset depending on which process is
+holding the lock, but it gets complicated fairly quickly.  I'm open to
+suggestions, but I'm not holding my breath.
+
+Regardless, we use this form of locking when HAVE_SPINLOCKS is not
+defined, (i.e. we're locking in the kernel) because it doesn't have the
+limitations found in System V semaphores, and because the normal state of
+the kernel object in that case is unlocked, so the process releasing the
+lock is also the holder of the lock.
+
+The System V semaphore design has a number of other limitations that make
+it inappropriate for this task.  Namely:
+
+First, the semaphore key name space is separate from the file system name
+space (although there exist methods for using file names to create
+semaphore keys).  If we use a well-known key, there's no reason to believe
+that any particular key will not already be in use, either by another
+instance of the DB application or some other application, in which case
+the DB application will fail.  If we create a key, then we have to use a
+file system name to rendezvous and pass around the key.
+
+Second, System V semaphores traditionally have compile-time, system-wide
+limits on the number of semaphore keys that you can have.  Typically, that
+number is far too low for any practical purpose.  Since the semaphores
+permit more than a single slot per semaphore key, we could try and get
+around that limit by using multiple slots, but that means that the file
+that we're using for rendezvous is going to have to contain slot
+information as well as semaphore key information, and we're going to be
+reading/writing it on every db_mutex_t init or destroy operation.  Anyhow,
+similar compile-time, system-wide limits on the numbers of slots per
+semaphore key kick in, and you're right back where you started.
+
+My fantasy is that once POSIX.1 standard mutexes are in wide-spread use,
+we can switch to them.  My guess is that it won't happen, because the
+POSIX semaphores are only required to work for threads within a process,
+and not independent processes.
+
+Note: there are races in the statistics code, but since it's just that,
+I didn't bother fixing them.  (The fix requires a mutex tsl, so, when/if
+this code is fixed to do rational locking (see above), then change the
+statistics update code to acquire/release the mutex tsl.

+ * @(#)alpha.gcc	10.1 (Sleepycat) 4/12/97
+ *
+ * The code appearing below is taken from Richard L. Sites, ed.  "Alpha
+ * Architecture Reference Manual", Digital Press, 1992, page 5-7 and 5-8.
+ * There are 2 modifications:
+ *
+ * 1. The jump from blbs __r1,30f to !__r1, which is dictated by the way the
+ * TSL_SET macro is used.  The code suggested in Sites includes the main loop
+ * of the spin lock, whereas in this code the rest the loop is specified in C.
+ * The generated code might be suboptimal if the compiler generates a forward
+ * branch for the usual case in which the mutex is uncontested.
+ *
+ * 2. At label 20, Sites suggests including code for testing for an excessive
+ * number of _processor_ lock conflicts.  (The seq_c instruction stores its
+ * first argument provided that no other processor has written to a byte range
+ * including its memory-location argument.)  Absent such checking the code
+ * below could conceivably stall silently on a multiprocessor alpha, depending
+ * on how often processor/processor conflicts occur in a particular byte range.
+ *
+ * Note that the mb ("memory-barrier") instruction in TSL_UNSET is critical to
+ * correct operation in a multiprocessor alpha (as is, of course, the mb in
+ * the TSL_SET macro).  Without the mb, changes to shared memory that occurred
+ * inside the critical section (before the TSL_UNSET) might reach shared memory
+ * _after_ the change of tsl to 0, thereby permitting another processor to see
+ * an inconsistent view of the data protected by the mutex.
+ *
+ * For gcc/alpha, 0 is clear, 1 is set.
