2019-01-08qemu-thread: Don't block SEGV, ILL and FPERoman Bolshakov
If any of these signals happen on macOS, they are not delivered to other threads and signalfd_compat receives nothing. Indeed, POSIX reference and sigprocmask(2) note that an attempt to block the signals results in undefined behaviour. SEGV and FPE can't also be received by signalfd(2) on Linux. An ability to retrieve SIGBUS via signalfd(2) is used by QEMU for memory preallocation therefore we can't unblock it without consequences. But it's important to leave a remark that the signal is lost on macOS. Signed-off-by: Roman Bolshakov <r.bolshakov@yadro.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

2018-11-06util/qemu-thread-posix: Fix qemu_thread_atexit* for OSXPeter Maydell
Our current implementation of qemu_thread_atexit* is broken on OSX. This is because it works by cerating a piece of thread-specific data with pthread_key_create() and using the destructor function for that data to run the notifier function passed to it by the caller of qemu_thread_atexit_add(). The expected use case is that the caller uses a __thread variable as the notifier, and uses the callback to clean up information that it is keeping per-thread in __thread variables. Unfortunately, on OSX this does not work, because on OSX a __thread variable may be destroyed (freed) before the pthread_key_create() destructor runs. (POSIX imposes no ordering constraint here; the OSX implementation happens to implement __thread variables in terms of pthread_key_create((), whereas Linux uses different mechanisms that mean the __thread variables will still be present when the pthread_key_create() destructor is run.) Fix this by switching to a scheme similar to the one qemu-thread-win32 uses for qemu_thread_atexit: keep the thread's notifiers on a __thread variable, and run the notifiers on calls to qemu_thread_exit() and on return from the start routine passed to qemu_thread_start(). We do this with the pthread_cleanup_push() API. We take advantage of the qemu_thread_atexit_add() API permission not to run thread notifiers on process exit to avoid having to special case the main thread.

2018-06-28qemu-thread: introduce qemu-thread-common.hPeter Xu
Introduce some hooks for the shared part of qemu thread between POSIX and Windows implementations. Note that in qemu_mutex_unlock_impl() we moved the call before unlock operation which should make more sense. And we don't need qemu_mutex_post_unlock() hook. Put all these shared hooks into the header files. It should be internal to qemu-thread but not for qemu-thread users, hence put into util/ directory. Reviewed-by: Emilio G.

2017-09-26util/qemu-thread-posix.c: Replace OS ifdefs with CONFIG_HAVE_SEM_TIMEDWAITPeter Maydell
In qemu-thread-posix.c we have two implementations of the various qemu_sem_* functions, one of which uses native POSIX sem_* and the other of which emulates them with pthread conditions. This is necessary because not all our host OSes support sem_timedwait(). Instead of a hard-coded list of OSes which don't implement sem_timedwait(), which gets out of date, make configure test for the presence of the function and set a new CONFIG_HAVE_SEM_TIMEDWAIT appropriately. In particular, newer NetBSDs have sem_timedwait(), so this commit will switch them over to using it. OSX still does not have an implementation.

These trace events were very useful to help me to understand and find a reordering issue in vfio, for example: qemu_mutex_lock locked mutex 0x10905ad8 vfio_region_write (0001:03:00.0:region1+0xc0, 0x2020c, 4) qemu_mutex_unlock unlocked mutex 0x10905ad8 qemu_mutex_lock locked mutex 0x10905ad8 vfio_region_write (0001:03:00.0:region1+0xc4, 0xa0000, 4) qemu_mutex_unlock unlocked mutex 0x10905ad8 that also helped me to see the desired result after the fix: qemu_mutex_lock locked mutex 0x10905ad8 vfio_region_write (0001:03:00.0:region1+0xc0, 0x2000c, 4) vfio_region_write (0001:03:00.0:region1+0xc4, 0xb0000, 4) qemu_mutex_unlock unlocked mutex 0x10905ad8 So it could be a good idea to have these traces implemented. It's worth mentioning that they should be surgically enabled during the debugging, otherwise it can flood the trace logs with lock/unlock messages.

Do not use the somewhat mysterious atomic_mb_read/atomic_mb_set, instead make sure that the operations on QemuEvent are annotated with the desired acquire and release semantics. In particular, qemu_event_set wakes up the waiting thread, so it must be a release from the POV of the waker (compare with qemu_mutex_unlock). And it actually needs a full barrier, because that's the only thing that provides something like a "load-release".

2015-03-10qemu-thread: do not use PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECKPaolo Bonzini
PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK is completely broken with respect to fork. The way to safely do fork is to bring all threads to a quiescent state by acquiring locks (either in callers---as we do for the iothread mutex---or using pthread_atfork's prepare callbacks) and then release them in the child. The problem is that releasing error-checking locks in the child fails under glibc with EPERM, because the mutex stores a different owner tid than the duplicated thread in the child process. We could make it work for locks acquired via pthread_atfork, by recreating the mutex in the child instead of unlocking it (we know that there are no other threads that could have taken the mutex; but when the lock is acquired in fork's caller that would not be possible. The simplest solution is just to forgo error checking. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

Destructors are the main additional feature of pthread TLS compared to __thread. If we were using C++ (hint, hint!) we could have used thread-local objects with a destructor. Since we are not, instead, we add a simple Notifier-based API. Note that the notifier must be per-thread as well. We can add a global list as well later, perhaps. The Win32 implementation has some complications because a) detached threads used not to have a QemuThreadData; b) the main thread does not go through win32_start_routine, so we have to use atexit too.

This emulates Win32 manual-reset events using futexes or conditional variables. Typical ways to use them are with multi-producer, single-consumer data structures, to test for a complex condition whose elements come from different threads: for (;;) { qemu_event_reset(ev); ... test complex condition ... if (condition is true) { break; } qemu_event_wait(ev); } Or more efficiently (but with some duplication): ... evaluate condition ... while (!condition) { qemu_event_reset(ev); ... evaluate condition ... if (!condition) { qemu_event_wait(ev); ... evaluate condition ... } } QemuEvent provides a very fast userspace path in the common case when no other thread is waiting, or the event is not changing state.

Fix following bugs in "fallback implementation of counting semaphores with mutex+condvar" added in c166cb72f1676855816340666c3b618beef4b976: - waiting threads are not restarted properly if more than one threads are waiting unblock signals in qemu_sem_timedwait() - possible missing pthread_cond_signal(3) calls when waiting threads are returned by ETIMEDOUT - fix an uninitialized variable The problem is analyzed by and fix is provided by Noriyuki Soda. Also put additional cleanup suggested by Laszlo Ersek: - make QemuSemaphore.count unsigned (it won't be negative) - check a return value of in pthread_cond_wait() in qemu_sem_wait() Signed-off-by: Izumi Tsutsui <tsutsui@ceres.dti.ne.jp> Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com> Message-id: 1372841894-10634-1-git-send-email-tsutsui@ceres.dti.ne.jp Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
