/* This file defines futex operations used internally in glibc.  A futex
   consists of the so-called futex word in userspace, which is of type
   unsigned int and represents an application-specific condition, and kernel
   state associated with this particular futex word (e.g., wait queues).  The
   futex operations we provide are wrappers for the futex syscalls and add
   glibc-specific error checking of the syscall return value.  We abort on
   error codes that are caused by bugs in glibc or in the calling application,
   or when an error code is not known.  We return error codes that can arise
   in correct executions to the caller.  Each operation calls out exactly the
   return values that callers need to handle.

   The private flag must be either FUTEX_PRIVATE or FUTEX_SHARED.
   FUTEX_PRIVATE is always supported, and the implementation can internally
   use FUTEX_SHARED when FUTEX_PRIVATE is requested.  FUTEX_SHARED is not
   necessarily supported (use futex_supports_pshared to detect this).

   We expect callers to only use these operations if futexes and the
   specific futex operations being used are supported (e.g., FUTEX_SHARED).

   Given that waking other threads waiting on a futex involves concurrent
   accesses to the futex word, you must use atomic operations to access the
   futex word.

   Both absolute and relative timeouts can be used.  An absolute timeout
   expires when the given specific point in time on the specified clock
   passes, or when it already has passed.  A relative timeout expires when
   the given duration of time on the CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock passes.

   Due to POSIX requirements on when synchronization data structures such
   as mutexes or semaphores can be destroyed and due to the futex design
   having separate fast/slow paths for wake-ups, we need to consider that
   futex_wake calls might effectively target a data structure that has been
   destroyed and reused for another object, or unmapped; thus, some
   errors or spurious wake-ups can happen in correct executions that would
   not be possible in a program using just a single futex whose lifetime
   does not end before the program terminates.  For background, see:
   https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-04/msg00075.html
   https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/27/472  */

/* Defined this way for interoperability with lowlevellock.
   FUTEX_PRIVATE must be zero because the initializers for pthread_mutex_t,
   pthread_rwlock_t, and pthread_cond_t initialize the respective field of
   those structures to zero, and we want FUTEX_PRIVATE to be the default.  */

/* Atomically wrt other futex operations on the same futex, this blocks iff
   the value *FUTEX_WORD matches the expected value.  This is
   semantically equivalent to:
     l = <get lock associated with futex> (FUTEX_WORD);
     wait_flag = <get wait_flag associated with futex> (FUTEX_WORD);
     lock (l);

     unlock (l);
     // Now block; can time out in futex_time_wait (see below)
     while (atomic_load_relaxed(wait_flag) && !<spurious wake-up>);

   Note that no guarantee of a happens-before relation between a woken
   futex_wait and a futex_wake is documented; however, this does not matter
   in practice because we have to consider spurious wake-ups (see below),
   and thus would not be able to reliably reason about which futex_wake woke
   us.

   Returns 0 if woken by a futex operation or spuriously.  (Note that due to
   the POSIX requirements mentioned above, we need to conservatively assume
   that unrelated futex_wake operations could wake this futex; it is easiest
   to just be prepared for spurious wake-ups.)
   Returns EAGAIN if the futex word did not match the expected value.
   Returns EINTR if waiting was interrupted by a signal.

   Note that some previous code in glibc assumed the underlying futex
   operation (e.g., syscall) to start with or include the equivalent of a
   seq_cst fence; this allows one to avoid an explicit seq_cst fence before
   a futex_wait call when synchronizing similar to Dekker synchronization.
   However, we make no such guarantee here.  */
