/* We use two 64b counters: __wseq and __g1_start.  They are monotonically
   increasing and single-writer-multiple-readers counters, so we can implement
   load, fetch-and-add, and fetch-and-xor operations even when we just have
   32b atomics.  Values we add or xor are less than or equal to 1<<31 (*),
   so we only have to make overflow-and-addition atomic wrt. to concurrent
   load operations and xor operations.  To do that, we split each counter into
   two 32b values of which we reserve the MSB of each to represent an
   overflow from the lower-order half to the higher-order half.

   In the common case, the state is (higher-order / lower-order half, and . is
   basically concatenation of the bits):
   0.h     / 0.l  = h.l

   When we add a value of x that overflows (i.e., 0.l + x == 1.L), we run the
   following steps S1-S4 (the values these represent are on the right-hand
   side):
   S1:  0.h     / 1.L == (h+1).L
   S2:  1.(h+1) / 1.L == (h+1).L
   S3:  1.(h+1) / 0.L == (h+1).L
   S4:  0.(h+1) / 0.L == (h+1).L
   If the LSB of the higher-order half is set, readers will ignore the
   overflow bit in the lower-order half.

   To get an atomic snapshot in load operations, we exploit that the
   higher-order half is monotonically increasing; if we load a value V from
   it, then read the lower-order half, and then read the higher-order half
   again and see the same value V, we know that both halves have existed in
   the sequence of values the full counter had.  This is similar to the
   validated reads in the time-based STMs in GCC's libitm (e.g.,
   method_ml_wt).

   The xor operation needs to be an atomic read-modify-write.  The write
   itself is not an issue as it affects just the lower-order half but not bits
   used in the add operation.  To make the full fetch-and-xor atomic, we
   exploit that concurrently, the value can increase by at most 1<<31 (*): The
   xor operation is only called while having acquired the lock, so not more
   than __PTHREAD_COND_MAX_GROUP_SIZE waiters can enter concurrently and thus
   increment __wseq.  Therefore, if the xor operation observes a value of
   __wseq, then the value it applies the modification to later on can be
   derived (see below).

   One benefit of this scheme is that this makes load operations
   obstruction-free because unlike if we would just lock the counter, readers
   can almost always interpret a snapshot of each halves.  Readers can be
   forced to read a new snapshot when the read is concurrent with an overflow.
   However, overflows will happen infrequently, so load operations are
   practically lock-free.

   (*) The highest value we add is __PTHREAD_COND_MAX_GROUP_SIZE << 2 to
   __g1_start (the two extra bits are for the lock in the two LSBs of
   __g1_start).  */
