Andreas Schwab 4d7af7815a Fix rwlock stall with PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP (bug 23861) 
In the read lock function (__pthread_rwlock_rdlock_full) there was a
code path which would fail to reload __readers while waiting for
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_RWAITING to change. This failure to reload __readers
into a local value meant that various conditionals used the old value
of __readers and with only two threads left it could result in an
indefinite stall of one of the readers (waiting for PTHREAD_RWLOCK_RWAITING
to go to zero, but it never would).

/* A reader--writer lock that fulfills the POSIX requirements (but operations
on this lock are not necessarily full barriers, as one may interpret the
POSIX requirement about "synchronizing memory"). 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 will try to start a
write phase.
#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 will try to start a read phase
(requires explicit hand-over to all readers that
do not start the read phase).
#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. */
