The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().
The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.
The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)
There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.

FreeBSD implements pthread headers using TSA (thread safety analysis)
annotations, therefore when an application is compiled with
-Wthread-safety there are some locking/annotation requirements that the
user of the pthread API has to follow.
This will also be the case in QEMU, since util/qemu-thread-posix.c uses
the pthread API. Therefore when building it with -Wthread-safety, the
compiler will throw warnings because the functions are not properly
annotated. We need TSA to be enabled because it ensures that the
critical sections of an annotated variable are properly locked.
In order to make the compiler happy and avoid adding all the necessary
macros to all callers (lock functions should use TSA_ACQUIRE, while
unlock TSA_RELEASE, and this applies to all users of pthread_mutex_lock
and pthread_mutex_unlock), simply use TSA_NO_TSA to supppress such
warnings.

Usually, we let upper layers handle CPU pinning, because
pthread_setaffinity_np() (-> sched_setaffinity()) is blocked via
seccomp when starting QEMU with
-sandbox enable=on,resourcecontrol=deny
However, we want to configure and observe the CPU affinity of threads
from QEMU directly in some cases when the sandbox option is either not
enabled or not active yet.
So let's add a way to configure CPU pinning via
qemu_thread_set_affinity() and obtain CPU affinity via
qemu_thread_get_affinity() and implement them under POSIX using
pthread_setaffinity_np() + pthread_getaffinity_np().
Implementation under Windows is possible using SetProcessAffinityMask()
+ GetProcessAffinityMask(), however, that is left as future work.

clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type
pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a
compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file
that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file:
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make
../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid)
Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is
used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h
and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and
searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.
This patch was generated using:
$ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \
sort -u >/tmp/changed_identifiers
$ for identifier in $(</tmp/changed_identifiers); do
sed -i "s%\<$identifier\>%q$identifier%g" \
$(git grep -I -l "\<$identifier\>")

All the Coverity-specific definitions of qemu_mutex_lock() and friends
have a trailing semicolon. This works fine almost everywhere because
of QEMU's mandatory-braces coding style and because most callsites are
simple, but target/s390x/sigp.c has a use of qemu_mutex_trylock() as
an if() statement, which makes the ';' a syntax error:
"../target/s390x/sigp.c", line 461: warning #18: expected a ")"

For Coverity's benefit, we provide simpler versions of functions like
qemu_mutex_lock(), qemu_cond_wait() and qemu_cond_timedwait(). When
we added qemu_cond_timedwait() in commit 3dcc9c6ec4ea, a cut and

was using the wrong _impl function, which makes the Coverity parser
complain:

Add documentation for the qemu_thread_atexit_add() and
qemu_thread_atexit_remove() functions.
We include a (previously undocumented) constraint that notifiers
may not be called if a thread is exiting because the entire
process is exiting. This is fine for our current use because
the callers use it only for cleaning up resources which go away
on process exit (memory, Win32 fibers), and we will need the
flexibility for the new posix implementation.

The BQL is acquired via qemu_mutex_lock_iothread(), which makes
the profiler assign the associated wait time (i.e. most of
BQL wait time) entirely to that function. This loses the original
call site information, which does not help diagnose BQL contention.

The goal of this module is to profile synchronization primitives (i.e.
mutexes, recursive mutexes and condition variables) so that scalability
issues can be quickly diagnosed.
Sync primitives are profiled by QSP based on the vaddr of the object accessed
as well as the call site (file:line_nr). That means the same object called
from two different call sites will be tracked in separate entries, which
might be reported together or separately (see subsequent commit on
call site coalescing).
Some perf numbers:
Host: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Command: taskset -c 0 tests/atomic_add-bench -d 5 -m
- Before: 54.80 Mops/s
- After: 54.75 Mops/s
That is, a negligible slowdown due to the now indirect call to
qemu_mutex_lock. Note that using a branch instead of an indirect
call introduces a more severe slowdown (53.65 Mops/s, i.e. 2% slowdown).
Enabling the profiler (with -p, added in this series) is more interesting:
- No profiling: 54.75 Mops/s
- W/ profiling: 12.53 Mops/s
That is, a 4.36X slowdown.
We can break down this slowdown by removing the get_clock calls or
the entry lookup:
- No profiling: 54.75 Mops/s
- W/o get_clock: 25.37 Mops/s
- W/o entry lookup: 19.30 Mops/s
- W/ profiling: 12.53 Mops/s

QemuLockable is a polymorphic lock type that takes an object and
knows which function to use for locking and unlocking. The
implementation could use C11 _Generic, but since the support is
not very widespread I am instead using __builtin_choose_expr and
__builtin_types_compatible_p, which are already used by
include/qemu/atomic.h.
QemuLockable can be used to implement lock guards, or to pass around
a lock in such a way that a function can release it and re-acquire it.
The next patch will do this for CoQueue.

A QemuLockCnt comprises a counter and a mutex, with primitives
to increment and decrement the counter, and to take and release the
mutex. It can be used to do lock-free visits to a data structure
whenever mutexes would be too heavy-weight and the critical section
is too long for RCU.
This could be implemented simply by protecting the counter with the
mutex, but QemuLockCnt is harder to misuse and more efficient.

This includes a (mangled) copy of the liburcu code. The main changes
are: 1) removing dependencies on many other header files in liburcu; 2)
removing for simplicity the tentative busy waiting in synchronize_rcu,
which has limited performance effects; 3) replacing futexes in
synchronize_rcu with QemuEvents for Win32 portability. The API is
the same as liburcu, so it should be possible in the future to require
liburcu on POSIX systems for example and use our copy only on Windows.
Among the various versions available I chose urcu-mb, which is the
least invasive implementation even though it does not have the
fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} implementation. The urcu flavor can
be changed later, after benchmarking.

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.
