- * Description: Memory barriers when using gcc's builtins
+ * Description: Memory barriers when using gcc's __atomic and
+ * __sync builtins
* Author: Rickard Green
+ *
+ * Note: The C11 memory model implemented by gcc's __atomic
+ * builtins does not match the ethread API very well.
+ *
+ * A function with a barrier postfix in the ethread atomic
+ * API needs to ensure that all stores and loads are
+ * ordered around it according to the semantics of the
+ * barrier specified.
+ *
+ * The C11 aproch is different. The __atomic builtins
+ * API takes a memory model parameter. Assuming that all
+ * memory syncronizations using the involved atomic
+ * variables are made using this API, the synchronizations
+ * will adhere to the memory models used. That is, you do
+ * *not* know how loads and stores will be ordered around
+ * a specific __atomic operation in the general case. You
+ * only know the total effect of the combination of
+ * operations issued will adhere to the model.
+ *
+ * This limits how we can use the __atomic builtins. What
+ * we cannot use:
+ *
+ * 1. We cannot rely on __atomic_thread_fence() to issue
+ * any specific memory barriers at all. This regardless
+ * of memory model parameter passed. That is, we cannot
+ * use the __atomic_thread_fence() builtin at all.
+ *
+ * Why is this? If all __atomic builtins accessing
+ * memory issue memory barriers, __atomic_thread_fence()
+ * does not have to issue memory barriers. The
+ * implementation for the Itanium architecture is an
+ * example of this. Even using the __ATOMIC_RELAXED
+ * memory model all __atomic builtins accessing memory
+ * will issue memory barriers. Due to this no memory
+ * barriers at all will be issued by
+ * __atomic_thread_fence() using either one of the
+ * __ATOMIC_CONSUME, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE, or
+ * __ATOMIC_RELEASE memory models.
+ *
+ * 2. We cannot rely on any __atomic builtin with the
+ * __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST memory model parameters to
+ * issue any specific memory barriers. That is, we
+ * cannot use these memory models at all.
+ *
+ * Why is this? Since all synchronizations is expected
+ * to be made using the __atomic builtins, memory
+ * barriers only have to be issued by some of them,
+ * and you do not know which ones wont issue memory
+ * barriers.
+ *
+ * One can easily be fooled into believing that when
+ * using the __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST memory model on all
+ * operations, all operations will issue full memory
+ * barriers. This is however not the case. The
+ * implementation for the x86_64 architecture is an
+ * example of this. Since all operations except loads
+ * issue full memory barriers, no memory barriers at
+ * all is issued by loads. This could also be
+ * implemented by issuing a full memory barrier on
+ * loads, but no barrier at all on stores.
+ *
+ * What can be used then?
+ * 1. All (legacy) __sync builtins implying full memory
+ * barriers issued.
+ * 2. All __atomic builtins using the __ATOMIC_RELAXED
+ * memory model can, of course, be used. This since
+ * no ordering guarantees at all are made.
+ * 3. All __atomic builtins accessing memory using the
+ * __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE and __ATOMIC_RELEASE memory
+ * models. This since an __atomic builtin memory
+ * access using the __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE must at least
+ * issue an aquire memory barrier and an __atomic
+ * builtin memory acess with the __ATOMIC_RELEASE
+ * memory model must at least issue a release memory
+ * barrier. Otherwise the two can not be paired.
+ * 4. All __atomic builtins accessing memory using the
+ * __ATOMIC_CONSUME builtin can be used for the same
+ * reason __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE can be used. The ethread
+ * atomic framework implementing the ethread API
+ * using native implementations does not expect the
+ * native implementations to produce versions with
+ * data dependent read barriers, so until the
+ * framework is changed we haven't got any use for
+ * for it.
+ *
+ * For some architectures we have our own memory barrier
+ * implementations. We prefer to use these since they
+ * should be as fine grained as possible. For other
+ * architectures we use the __sync_synchronize() builtin
+ * which issue a full memory barrier. For these
+ * architectures we have to assume that all loads and
+ * stores can be reordered without limitation. That is,
+ * unnecessary memory barriers will be issued if such
+ * reordering actually cannot occur.
