- * @(#)alpha.gcc 10.1 (Sleepycat) 4/12/97
- *
- * The code appearing below is taken from Richard L. Sites, ed. "Alpha
- * Architecture Reference Manual", Digital Press, 1992, page 5-7 and 5-8.
- * There are 2 modifications:
- *
- * 1. The jump from blbs __r1,30f to !__r1, which is dictated by the way the
- * TSL_SET macro is used. The code suggested in Sites includes the main loop
- * of the spin lock, whereas in this code the rest the loop is specified in C.
- * The generated code might be suboptimal if the compiler generates a forward
- * branch for the usual case in which the mutex is uncontested.
- *
- * 2. At label 20, Sites suggests including code for testing for an excessive
- * number of _processor_ lock conflicts. (The seq_c instruction stores its
- * first argument provided that no other processor has written to a byte range
- * including its memory-location argument.) Absent such checking the code
- * below could conceivably stall silently on a multiprocessor alpha, depending
- * on how often processor/processor conflicts occur in a particular byte range.
- *
- * Note that the mb ("memory-barrier") instruction in TSL_UNSET is critical to
- * correct operation in a multiprocessor alpha (as is, of course, the mb in
- * the TSL_SET macro). Without the mb, changes to shared memory that occurred
- * inside the critical section (before the TSL_UNSET) might reach shared memory
- * _after_ the change of tsl to 0, thereby permitting another processor to see
- * an inconsistent view of the data protected by the mutex.
- *
- * For gcc/alpha, 0 is clear, 1 is set.
