29  * guard.cc: Functions for thread-safe static initialisation.
30  *
31  * Static values in C++ can be initialised lazily their first use.  This file
32  * contains functions that are used to ensure that two threads attempting to
33  * initialize the same static do not call the constructor twice.  This is
34  * important because constructors can have side effects, so calling the
35  * constructor twice may be very bad.
36  *
37  * Statics that require initialisation are protected by a 64-bit value.  Any
38  * platform that can do 32-bit atomic test and set operations can use this
39  * value as a low-overhead lock.  Because statics (in most sane code) are
40  * accessed far more times than they are initialised, this lock implementation
41  * is heavily optimised towards the case where the static has already been
42  * initialised.

66  * The Itanium C++ ABI defines guard words that are 64-bit (32-bit on AArch32)
67  * values with one bit defined to indicate that the guarded variable is and
68  * another bit to indicate that it's currently locked (initialisation in
69  * progress).  The bit to use depends on the byte order of the target.
70  *
71  * On many 32-bit platforms, 64-bit atomics are unavailable (or slow) and so we
72  * treat the two halves of the 64-bit word as independent values and establish
73  * an ordering on them such that the guard word is never modified unless the
74  * lock word is in the locked state.  This means that we can do double-checked
75  * locking by loading the guard word and, if it is not initialised, trying to
76  * transition the lock word from the unlocked to locked state, and then
77  * manipulate the guard word.
