// allow users to capture unbounded state into the critical section. Flat
// combining means that the user does not have access to the thread
// executing the critical section, so assumptions about thread local

// The user is allowed to use a combined critical section that returns a

//
// The waker thread needs to synchronize on this cacheline to issue a
// wakeup to the waiter, meaning that the entire line needs to be pulled
// into the remote core in exclusive mode. So we reuse the coherence
// operation to transfer the return value in addition to the
// synchronization signal. In the case that the user's data item is
// small, the data is transferred all inline as part of the same line,
// which pretty much arrives into the CPU cache in the same clock cycle or
// two after a read-for-ownership request. This gives us a high chance of
// coalescing the entire transitive store buffer together into one cache
// coherence operation from the waker's end. This allows us to make use
// of the CPU bus bandwidth which would have otherwise gone to waste.
// Benchmarks prove this theory under a wide range of contention, value
// sizes, NUMA interactions and processor models
//
// The current version of the Intel optimization manual confirms this
// theory somewhat as well in section 2.3.5.1 (Load and Store Operation
// Overview)
//
// When an instruction writes data to a memory location [...], the
// processor ensures that it has the line containing this memory location
// is in its L1d cache [...]. If the cache line is not there, it fetches
// from the next levels using a RFO request [...] RFO and storing the
// data happens after instruction retirement. Therefore, the store
// latency usually does not affect the store instruction itself
//
// This gives the user the ability to input up to 48 bytes into the
// combined critical section through an InlineFunctionRef and output 48
// bytes from it basically without any cost. The type of the entity
// stored in the buffer has to be matched by the type erased callable that
// the caller has used. At this point, the caller is still in the
// template instantiation leading to the combine request, so it has
// knowledge of the return type and can apply the appropriate
// reinterpret_cast and launder operation to safely retrieve the data from
// this buffer

// mutex state is 0b11 and not 0b1, meaning that there might have been
// another timed waiter. Even though there might not have been another
// timed waiter in the time being. This sort of missed wakeup is
// desirable for timed waiters; it helps avoid thundering herds of timed
// waiters. Because the mutex is packed in 8 bytes, and we need an
// address to be stored in those 8 bytes, we don't have much room to play
// with. The only other solution is to issue a futexWake(INT_MAX) to wake
// up all waiters when a clean unlock is committed, when a thread saw a
// timed waiter in the mutex previously.
//
// putting a 0b11 here works for a set of reasons that is a superset of
// the set of reasons that make it okay to put a kLocked (0b1) in the
// mutex state. Now that the thread has put (kTimedWaiter | kLocked)
// (0b11) in the mutex state and it expects a kLocked (0b1), there are two
// scenarios possible. The first being when there is no contention chain
// formation in the mutex from the time a timed waiter got a lock to
// unlock. In this case, the unlocker sees a 0b11 in the mutex state,
// adjusts to the presence of a timed waiter and cleanly unlocks with a
// kUnlocked (0b0). The second is when there is a contention chain.
// When a thread puts its address in the mutex and sees the timed bit, it
// records the presence of a timed waiter, and then pretends as if it
// hadn't seen the timed bit. So future contention chain releases, will
// terminate with a kLocked (0b1) and not a (kLocked | kTimedWaiter)
// (0b11). This just works naturally with the rest of the algorithm
// without incurring a perf hit for the regular non-timed case
//
// this strategy does however mean, that when threads try to acquire the
// mutex and all time out, there will be a wasteful syscall to issue wakeups
// to waiting threads. We don't do anything to try and minimize this
//
// we need to use a fetch_or() here because we need to convey two bits of
// information - 1, whether the mutex is locked or not, and 2, whether
// there is a timed waiter. The alternative here is to use the second bit
// to convey information only, we can use a fetch_set() on the second bit
// to make this faster, but that comes at the expense of requiring regular
// fast path lock attempts. Which use a single bit read-modify-write for
// better performance
