* Rename _thr_enter_cancellation_point to _thr_cancel_enter, renamedavidxu2003-12-091-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _thr_leave_cancellation_point to _thr_cancel_leave, add a parameter to _thr_cancel_leave to indicate whether cancellation point should be checked, this gives us an option to not check cancallation point if a syscall successfully returns to avoid any leaks, current I have creat(), open() and fcntl(F_DUPFD) to not check cancellation point after they sucessfully returned. Replace some members in structure kse with bit flags to same some memory. Conditionally compile THR_ASSERT to nothing if _PTHREAD_INVARIANTS is not defined. Inline some small functions in thr_cancel.c. Use __predict_false in thr_kern.c for some executed only once code. Reviewd by: deischen

When trying to wait on a CV and the library is not yet threaded, make it threaded so that waiting actually works. When trying to nanosleep() and we're not threaded, just call the system call nanosleep instead of adding the thread to the wait queue. Clean up adding/removing new threads to the "all threads queue", assigning them unique ids, and tracking how many active threads there are. Do it all when the thread is added to the scheduling queue instead of making pthread_create() know how to do it. Fix a race where a thread could be marked for signal delivery but it could be exited before we actually add the signal to it. Other minor cleanups and bug fixes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lock held (_thr_sched_switch_unlocked()) and use this to avoid dropping the scheduler lock and having the scheduler retake the same lock again. Add a better way of detecting if a low-level lock is in use. When switching out a thread due to blocking in the UTS, don't switch to the KSE's scheduler stack only to switch back to another thread. If possible switch to the new thread directly from the old thread and avoid the overhead of the extra context switch. Check for pending signals on a thread when entering the scheduler and add them to the threads signal frame. This includes some other minor signal fixes. Most of this was a joint effor between davidxu and myself. Reviewed by: davidxu Approved by: re@ (blanket for libpthread)

The ability to create more than 1 KSE via pthread_setconcurrency() is in the works as well as support for PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM threads. Those should come shortly. There are still some known issues which davidxu and I are working on, but it'll make it easier for us by committing what we have. This library now passes all of the ACE tests that libc_r passes with the exception of one. It also seems to work OK with KDE including konqueror, kwrite, etc. I haven't been able to get mozilla to run due to lack of java plugin, so I'd be interested to see how it works with that.

Don't install and start the scheduling timer until the first thread is created. This prevents the overhead of having a periodic scheduling signal in a single threaded program. Reported by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>. Allow builtin longjmps out of application installed signal handlers without the need perform any post-handler cleanup: o Change signal handling to save the threads interrupted context on the stack. The threads current context is now always stored in the same place (in the pthread). If and when a signal handler returns, the interrupted context is copied back to the storage area in the pthread. o Before calling invoking a signal handler for a thread, back the thread out of any internal waiting queues (mutex, CV, join, etc) to which it belongs. Rework uthread_info.c a bit to make it easier to change the format of a thread dump. Use an alternal signal stack for the thread library's signal handler. This allows us to fiddle with the main threads stack without fear of it being in use. Reviewed by: jasone

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | thread switches should be on par with that under scheduler activations. o Timing is achieved through the use of a fixed interval timer (ITIMER_PROF) to count scheduling ticks instead of retrieving the time-of-day upon every thread switch and calculating elapsed real time. o Polling for I/O readiness is performed once for each scheduling tick instead of every thread switch. o The non-signal saving/restoring versions of setjmp/longjmp are used to save and restore thread contexts. This may allow the removal of _THREAD_SAFE macros from setjmp() and longjmp() - needs more investigation. Change signal handling so that signals are handled in the context of the thread that is receiving the signal. When signals are dispatched to a thread, a special signal handling frame is created on top of the target threads stack. The frame contains the threads saved state information and a new context in which the thread can run. The applications signal handler is invoked through a wrapper routine that knows how to restore the threads saved state and unwind to previous frames. Fix interruption of threads due to signals. Some states were being improperly interrupted while other states were not being interrupted. This should fix several PRs. Signal handlers, which are invoked as a result of a process signal (not by pthread_kill()), are now called with the code (or siginfo_t if SA_SIGINFO was set in sa_flags) and sigcontext_t as received from the process signal handler. Modify the search for a thread to which a signal is delivered. The search algorithm is now: o First thread found in sigwait() with signal in wait mask. o First thread found sigsuspend()'d on the signal. o Current thread if signal is unmasked. o First thread found with signal unmasked. Collapse machine dependent support into macros defined in pthread_private.h. These should probably eventually be moved into separate MD files. Change the range of settable priorities to be compliant with POSIX (0-31). The threads library uses higher priorities internally for real-time threads (not yet implemented) and threads executing signal handlers. Real-time threads and threads running signal handlers add 64 and 32, respectively, to a threads base priority. Some other small changes and cleanups. PR: 17757 18559 21943 Reviewed by: jasone

While we're at it, convert thread cancellation to use continuations, since it's cleaner than the original cancellation code. Avoid delivering a signal to a thread twice. This was a pre-existing bug, but was likely unexposed until these other changes were made. Defer signals generated by pthread_kill() so that they can be delivered on the appropriate stack. deischen claims that this is unnecessary, which is likely true, but without this change, pthread_kill() can cause undefined priority queue states and/or PANICs in [sig|_]longjmp(), so I'm leaving this in for now. To compile this code out and exercise the bug, define the _NO_UNDISPATCH cpp macro. Defining _PTHREADS_INVARIANTS as well will cause earlier crashes. PR: kern/14685 Collaboration with: deischen

In additon, a wrapped version of poll() is now provided. o The wrapped select routine now converts each fd_set to a poll array so that the thread scheduler doesn't have to perform a bitwise search for selected fds each time file descriptors are polled for I/O readiness. o The thread scheduler was modified to use a new queue (_workq) for threads that need work. Threads waiting for I/O readiness and spinblocks are added to the work queue in addition to the waiting queue. This reduces the time spent forming/searching the array of file descriptors being polled. o The waiting queue (_waitingq) is now maintained in order of thread wakeup time. This allows the thread scheduler to find the nearest wakeup time by looking at the first thread in the queue instead of searching the entire queue. o Removed file descriptor locking for select/poll routines. An application should not rely on the threads library for providing this locking; if necessary, the application should use mutexes to protect selecting/polling of file descriptors. o Retrieve and use the kernel clock rate/resolution at startup instead of hardcoding the clock resolution to 10 msec (tested with kernel running at 1000 HZ). o All queues have been changed to use queue.h macros. These include the queues of all threads, dead threads, and threads waiting for file descriptor locks. o Added reinitialization of the GC mutex and condition variable after a fork. Also prevented reallocation of the ready queue after a fork. o Prevented the wrapped close routine from closing the thread kernel pipes. o Initialized file descriptor table for stdio entries at thread init. o Provided additional flags to indicate to what queues threads belong. o Moved TAILQ initialization for statically allocated mutex and condition variables to after the spinlock. o Added dispatching of signals to pthread_kill. Removing the dispatching of signals from thread activation broke sigsuspend when pthread_kill was used to send a signal to a thread. o Temporarily set the state of a thread to PS_SUSPENDED when it is first created and placed in the list of threads so that it will not be accidentally scheduled before becoming a member of one of the scheduling queues. o Change the signal handler to queue signals to the thread kernel pipe if the scheduling queues are protected. When scheduling queues are unprotected, signals are then dequeued and handled. o Ensured that all installed signal handlers block the scheduling signal and that the scheduling signal handler blocks all other signals. This ensures that the signal handler is only interruptible for and by non-scheduling signals. An atomic lock is used to decide which instance of the signal handler will handle pending signals. o Removed _lock_thread_list and _unlock_thread_list as they are no longer used to protect the thread list. o Added missing RCS IDs to modified files. o Added checks for appropriate queue membership and activity when adding, removing, and searching the scheduling queues. These checks add very little overhead and are enabled when compiled with _PTHREADS_INVARIANTS defined. Suggested and implemented by Tor Egge with some modification by me. o Close a race condition in uthread_close. (Tor Egge) o Protect the scheduling queues while modifying them in pthread_cond_signal and _thread_fd_unlock. (Tor Egge) o Ensure that when a thread gets a mutex, the mutex is on that threads list of owned mutexes. (Tor Egge) o Set the kernel-in-scheduler flag in _thread_kern_sched_state and _thread_kern_sched_state_unlock to prevent a scheduling signal from calling the scheduler again. (Tor Egge) o Don't use TAILQ_FOREACH macro while searching the waiting queue for threads in a sigwait state, because a change of state destroys the TAILQ link. It is actually safe to do so, though, because once a sigwaiting thread is found, the loop ends and the function returns. (Tor Egge) o When dispatching signals to threads, make the thread inherit the signal deferral flag of the currently running thread.

The thread kernel signal handler is installed for other signals on demand. This means that SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL processing is now left to the kernel, not the thread kernel. Change the signal dispatch to no longer use a signal thread, and call the signal handler using the stack of the thread that has the signal pending. Change the atomic lock method to use test-and-set asm code with a yield if blocked. This introduces separate locks for each type of object instead of blocking signals to prevent a context switch.
