* Some notes on new thread creation and first time initializion
* to enable multi-threading.
*
* There are basically two things that need to be done.
*
* 1) The internal library variables must be initialized.
* 2) Upcalls need to be enabled to allow multiple threads
* to be run.
*
* The first may be done as a result of other pthread functions
* being called. When _thr_initial is null, _libpthread_init is
* called to initialize the internal variables; this also creates
* or sets the initial thread. It'd be nice to automatically
* have _libpthread_init called on program execution so we don't
* have to have checks throughout the library.
*
* The second part is only triggered by the creation of the first
* thread (other than the initial/main thread). If the thread
* being created is a scope system thread, then a new KSE/KSEG
* pair needs to be allocated. Also, if upcalls haven't been
* enabled on the initial thread's KSE, they must be now that
* there is more than one thread; this could be delayed until
* the initial KSEG has more than one thread.

Add an i386-specifc hack to always set %gs. There still seems to be instances where the kernel doesn't properly save and/or restore it. Use noupcall and nocompleted flags in the KSE mailbox. These require kernel changes to work which will be committed sometime later. Things still work without the changes. Remove the general kse entry function and use two different functions -- one for scope system threads and one for scope process threads. The scope system function is not yet enabled and we use the same function for all threads at the moment. Keep a copy of the KSE stack for the case that a KSE runs a scope system thread and uses the same stack as the thread (no upcalls are generated, so a separate stack isn't needed). This isn't enabled yet. Use a separate field for the KSE waiting flag. It isn't correct to use the mailbox flags field. The following fixes were provided by David Xu: o Initialize condition variable locks with thread versions of the low-level locking functions instead of the kse versions. o Enable threading before creating the first thread instead of after. o Don't enter critical regions when trying to malloc/free or call functions that malloc/free. o Take the scheduling lock when inheriting thread attributes. o Check the attribute's stack pointer instead of the attributes stack size for null when allocating a thread's stack. o Add a kseg reinit function so we don't have to destroy and then recreate the same lock. o Check the return value of kse_create() and return an appropriate error if it fails. o Don't forget to destroy a thread's locks when freeing it. o Examine the correct flags word for checking to see if a thread is in a synchronization queue. Things should now work on an SMP kernel.

[ The author's description... ] o Runnable threads are now maintained in priority queues. The implementation requires two things: 1.) The priority queues must be protected during insertion and removal of threads. Since the kernel scheduler must modify the priority queues, a spinlock for protection cannot be used. The functions _thread_kern_sched_defer() and _thread_kern_sched_undefer() were added to {un}defer kernel scheduler activation. 2.) A thread (active) priority change can be performed only when the thread is removed from the priority queue. The implementation uses a threads active priority when inserting it into the queue. A by-product is that thread switches are much faster.

[ The author's description... ] o Runnable threads are now maintained in priority queues. The implementation requires two things: 1.) The priority queues must be protected during insertion and removal of threads. Since the kernel scheduler must modify the priority queues, a spinlock for protection cannot be used. The functions _thread_kern_sched_defer() and _thread_kern_sched_undefer() were added to {un}defer kernel scheduler activation. 2.) A thread (active) priority change can be performed only when the thread is removed from the priority queue. The implementation uses a threads active priority when inserting it into the queue. A by-product is that thread switches are much faster. A separate queue is used for waiting and/or blocked threads, and it is searched at most 2 times in the kernel scheduler when there are active threads. It should be possible to reduce this to once by combining polling of threads waiting on I/O with the loop that looks for timed out threads and the minimum timeout value. o Functions to defer kernel scheduler activation were added.

/* Initialize the mutex queue: */
TAILQ_INIT(&new_thread->mutexq);
Add an i386-specifc hack to always set %gs. There still seems to be instances where the kernel doesn't properly save and/or restore it. Use noupcall and nocompleted flags in the KSE mailbox. These require kernel changes to work which will be committed sometime later. Things still work without the changes. Remove the general kse entry function and use two different functions -- one for scope system threads and one for scope process threads. The scope system function is not yet enabled and we use the same function for all threads at the moment. Keep a copy of the KSE stack for the case that a KSE runs a scope system thread and uses the same stack as the thread (no upcalls are generated, so a separate stack isn't needed). This isn't enabled yet. Use a separate field for the KSE waiting flag. It isn't correct to use the mailbox flags field. The following fixes were provided by David Xu: o Initialize condition variable locks with thread versions of the low-level locking functions instead of the kse versions. o Enable threading before creating the first thread instead of after. o Don't enter critical regions when trying to malloc/free or call functions that malloc/free. o Take the scheduling lock when inheriting thread attributes. o Check the attribute's stack pointer instead of the attributes stack size for null when allocating a thread's stack. o Add a kseg reinit function so we don't have to destroy and then recreate the same lock. o Check the return value of kse_create() and return an appropriate error if it fails. o Don't forget to destroy a thread's locks when freeing it. o Examine the correct flags word for checking to see if a thread is in a synchronization queue. Things should now work on an SMP kernel.

In the words of the author: o The polling mechanism for I/O readiness was changed from select() to poll(). In additon, a wrapped version of poll() is now provided. o The wrapped select routine now converts each fd_set to a poll array so that the thread scheduler doesn't have to perform a bitwise search for selected fds each time file descriptors are polled for I/O readiness. o The thread scheduler was modified to use a new queue (_workq) for threads that need work. Threads waiting for I/O readiness and spinblocks are added to the work queue in addition to the waiting queue. This reduces the time spent forming/searching the array of file descriptors being polled. o The waiting queue (_waitingq) is now maintained in order of thread wakeup time. This allows the thread scheduler to find the nearest wakeup time by looking at the first thread in the queue instead of searching the entire queue. o Removed file descriptor locking for select/poll routines. An application should not rely on the threads library for providing this locking; if necessary, the application should use mutexes to protect selecting/polling of file descriptors. o Retrieve and use the kernel clock rate/resolution at startup instead of hardcoding the clock resolution to 10 msec (tested with kernel running at 1000 HZ). o All queues have been changed to use queue.h macros. These include the queues of all threads, dead threads, and threads waiting for file descriptor locks. o Added reinitialization of the GC mutex and condition variable after a fork. Also prevented reallocation of the ready queue after a fork. o Prevented the wrapped close routine from closing the thread kernel pipes. o Initialized file descriptor table for stdio entries at thread init. o Provided additional flags to indicate to what queues threads belong. o Moved TAILQ initialization for statically allocated mutex and condition variables to after the spinlock. o Added dispatching of signals to pthread_kill. Removing the dispatching of signals from thread activation broke sigsuspend when pthread_kill was used to send a signal to a thread. o Temporarily set the state of a thread to PS_SUSPENDED when it is first created and placed in the list of threads so that it will not be accidentally scheduled before becoming a member of one of the scheduling queues. o Change the signal handler to queue signals to the thread kernel pipe if the scheduling queues are protected. When scheduling queues are unprotected, signals are then dequeued and handled. o Ensured that all installed signal handlers block the scheduling signal and that the scheduling signal handler blocks all other signals. This ensures that the signal handler is only interruptible for and by non-scheduling signals. An atomic lock is used to decide which instance of the signal handler will handle pending signals. o Removed _lock_thread_list and _unlock_thread_list as they are no longer used to protect the thread list. o Added missing RCS IDs to modified files. o Added checks for appropriate queue membership and activity when adding, removing, and searching the scheduling queues. These checks add very little overhead and are enabled when compiled with _PTHREADS_INVARIANTS defined. Suggested and implemented by Tor Egge with some modification by me. o Close a race condition in uthread_close. (Tor Egge) o Protect the scheduling queues while modifying them in pthread_cond_signal and _thread_fd_unlock. (Tor Egge) o Ensure that when a thread gets a mutex, the mutex is on that threads list of owned mutexes. (Tor Egge) o Set the kernel-in-scheduler flag in _thread_kern_sched_state and _thread_kern_sched_state_unlock to prevent a scheduling signal from calling the scheduler again. (Tor Egge) o Don't use TAILQ_FOREACH macro while searching the waiting queue for threads in a sigwait state, because a change of state destroys the TAILQ link. It is actually safe to do so, though, because once a sigwaiting thread is found, the loop ends and the function returns. (Tor Egge) o When dispatching signals to threads, make the thread inherit the signal deferral flag of the currently running thread.
