Includes memory + barrier prior to assignment to spinlock, and __asm __volatile + dance to prevent reordering or optimization of the spinlock access. + * spinlock.c (__pthread_unlock, __pthread_alt_lock, + __pthread_alt_timedlock, __pthread_alt_unlock, + __pthread_compare_and_swap): Updated to use new __pthread_release + instead of updating spinlock directly. + * spinlock.c (__pthread_lock, __pthread_unlock, wait_node_alloc, + wait_node_free, wait_node_dequeue, __pthread_alt_lock, + __pthread_alt_timedlock, __pthread_alt_unlock, __pthread_acquire): + Memory barrier overhaul. Lots of missing memory barriers added, + a couple needless ones removed. + * spinlock.c (__pthread_compare_and_swap): testandset optimization + removed, just calls __pthread_acquire, which has the new read + barrier in it before its testandset. + 2001-05-20 Roland McGrath <roland@frob.com> * Makeconfig: New file, variables used to be in main libc Makeconfig. |
