Each slot is an independent real, sleeping lock. The default * lock and unlock functions operate on slot zero, which modifies only * the low two bits of the host byte. * * You should zero-initialize the bits of a MicroLock that you intend * to use. * * If you're not space-constrained, prefer std::mutex, which will * likely be faster, since it has more than two bits of information to * work with. * * You are free to put a MicroLock in a union with some other object. * If, for example, you want to use the bottom two bits of a pointer * as a lock, you can put a MicroLock in a union with the pointer and * limit yourself to MicroLock slot zero, which will use the two * least-significant bits in the bottom byte. * * (Note that such a union is safe only because MicroLock is based on * a character type, and even under a strict interpretation of C++'s * aliasing rules, character types may alias anything.) * * MicroLock uses a dirty trick: it actually operates on the full * 32-bit, four-byte-aligned bit of memory into which it is embedded. * It never modifies bits outside the ones it's defined to modify, but * it _accesses_ all the bits in the 32-bit memory location for * purposes of futex management. * * The MaxSpins template parameter controls the number of times we * spin trying to acquire the lock. MaxYields controls the number of * times we call sched_yield; once we've tried to acquire the lock * MaxSpins + MaxYields times, we sleep on the lock futex. * By adjusting these parameters, you can make MicroLock behave as * much or as little like a conventional spinlock as you'd like. * * Performance * ----------- * * With the default template options, the timings for uncontended * acquire-then-release come out as follows on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU * E5-2660 0 @ 2.20GHz, in @mode/opt, as of the master tree at Tue, 01 * Mar 2016 19:48:15. * * ======================================================================== * folly/test/SmallLocksBenchmark.cpp relative time/iter iters/s * ======================================================================== * MicroSpinLockUncontendedBenchmark 13.46ns 74.28M * PicoSpinLockUncontendedBenchmark 14.99ns 66.71M * MicroLockUncontendedBenchmark 27.06ns 36.96M * StdMutexUncontendedBenchmark 25.18ns 39.72M * VirtualFunctionCall 1.72ns 579.78M * ======================================================================== * * (The virtual dispatch benchmark is provided for scale.) * * While the uncontended case for MicroLock is competitive with the * glibc 2.2.0 implementation of std::mutex, std::mutex is likely to be * faster in the contended case, because we need to wake up all waiters * when we release. * * Make sure to benchmark your particular workload. * */ class MicroLockCore { protected: uint8_t lock_; inline detail::Futex<>* word() const; // Well, halfword on 64-bit systems inline uint32_t baseShift(unsigned slot) const; inline uint32_t heldBit(unsigned slot) const; inline uint32_t waitBit(unsigned slot) const; static void lockSlowPath( uint32_t oldWord, detail::Futex<>* wordPtr, uint32_t slotHeldBit, unsigned maxSpins, unsigned maxYields); public: FOLLY_DISABLE_ADDRESS_SANITIZER inline void unlock(unsigned slot); inline void unlock() { unlock(0); } // Initializes all the slots. inline void init() { lock_ = 0; } }; inline detail::Futex<>* MicroLockCore::word() const { uintptr_t lockptr = (uintptr_t)&lock_; lockptr &= ~(sizeof(uint32_t) - 1); return (detail::Futex<>*)lockptr; } inline unsigned MicroLockCore::baseShift(unsigned slot) const { assert(slot < CHAR_BIT / 2); unsigned offset_bytes = (unsigned)((uintptr_t)&lock_ - (uintptr_t)word()); return ( unsigned)(kIsLittleEndian ? offset_bytes * CHAR_BIT + slot * 2 : CHAR_BIT * (sizeof(uint32_t) - offset_bytes - 1) + slot * 2); } inline uint32_t MicroLockCore::heldBit(unsigned slot) const { return 1U << (baseShift(slot) + 0); } inline uint32_t MicroLockCore::waitBit(unsigned slot) const { return 1U << (baseShift(slot) + 1); } void MicroLockCore::unlock(unsigned slot) { detail::Futex<>* wordPtr = word(); uint32_t oldWord; uint32_t newWord; oldWord = wordPtr->load(std::memory_order_relaxed); do { assert(oldWord & heldBit(slot)); newWord = oldWord & ~(heldBit(slot) | waitBit(slot)); } while (!wordPtr->compare_exchange_weak( oldWord, newWord, std::memory_order_release, std::memory_order_relaxed)); if (oldWord & waitBit(slot)) { detail::futexWake(wordPtr, 1, heldBit(slot)); } } template class MicroLockBase : public MicroLockCore { public: FOLLY_DISABLE_ADDRESS_SANITIZER inline void lock(unsigned slot); inline void lock() { lock(0); } FOLLY_DISABLE_ADDRESS_SANITIZER inline bool try_lock(unsigned slot); inline bool try_lock() { return try_lock(0); } }; template bool MicroLockBase::try_lock(unsigned slot) { // N.B.
