| 28 | /* This file defines futex operations used internally in glibc. A futex |
| 29 | consists of the so-called futex word in userspace, which is of type |
| 30 | unsigned int and represents an application-specific condition, and kernel |
| 31 | state associated with this particular futex word (e.g., wait queues). The |
| 32 | futex operations we provide are wrappers for the futex syscalls and add |
| 33 | glibc-specific error checking of the syscall return value. We abort on |
| 34 | error codes that are caused by bugs in glibc or in the calling application, |
| 35 | or when an error code is not known. We return error codes that can arise |
| 36 | in correct executions to the caller. Each operation calls out exactly the |
| 37 | return values that callers need to handle. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | The private flag must be either FUTEX_PRIVATE or FUTEX_SHARED. |
| 40 | FUTEX_PRIVATE is always supported, and the implementation can internally |
| 41 | use FUTEX_SHARED when FUTEX_PRIVATE is requested. FUTEX_SHARED is not |
| 42 | necessarily supported (use futex_supports_pshared to detect this). |
| 43 | |
| 44 | We expect callers to only use these operations if futexes and the |
| 45 | specific futex operations being used are supported (e.g., FUTEX_SHARED). |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Given that waking other threads waiting on a futex involves concurrent |
| 48 | accesses to the futex word, you must use atomic operations to access the |
| 49 | futex word. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Both absolute and relative timeouts can be used. An absolute timeout |
| 52 | expires when the given specific point in time on the CLOCK_REALTIME clock |
| 53 | passes, or when it already has passed. A relative timeout expires when |
| 54 | the given duration of time on the CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock passes. Relative |
| 55 | timeouts may be imprecise (see futex_supports_exact_relative_timeouts). |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Due to POSIX requirements on when synchronization data structures such |
| 58 | as mutexes or semaphores can be destroyed and due to the futex design |
| 59 | having separate fast/slow paths for wake-ups, we need to consider that |
| 60 | futex_wake calls might effectively target a data structure that has been |
| 61 | destroyed and reused for another object, or unmapped; thus, some |
| 62 | errors or spurious wake-ups can happen in correct executions that would |
| 63 | not be possible in a program using just a single futex whose lifetime |
| 64 | does not end before the program terminates. For background, see: |
| 65 | https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-04/msg00075.html |
