31 // This class describes operations to implement Store-Free Biased
32 // Locking. The high-level properties of the scheme are similar to
33 // IBM's lock reservation, Dice-Moir-Scherer QR locks, and other biased
34 // locking mechanisms. The principal difference is in the handling of
35 // recursive locking which is how this technique achieves a more
36 // efficient fast path than these other schemes.
37 //
38 // The basic observation is that in HotSpot's current fast locking
39 // scheme, recursive locking (in the fast path) causes no update to
40 // the object header. The recursion is described simply by stack
41 // records containing a specific value (NULL). Only the last unlock by
42 // a given thread causes an update to the object header.
43 //
44 // This observation, coupled with the fact that HotSpot only compiles
45 // methods for which monitor matching is obeyed (and which therefore
46 // can not throw IllegalMonitorStateException), implies that we can
47 // completely eliminate modifications to the object header for
48 // recursive locking in compiled code, and perform similar recursion
49 // checks and throwing of IllegalMonitorStateException in the
50 // interpreter with little or no impact on the performance of the fast
51 // path.
52 //
53 // The basic algorithm is as follows (note, see below for more details
54 // and information). A pattern in the low three bits is reserved in
55 // the object header to indicate whether biasing of a given object's
56 // lock is currently being done or is allowed at all.  If the bias
57 // pattern is present, the contents of the rest of the header are
58 // either the JavaThread* of the thread to which the lock is biased,
59 // or NULL, indicating that the lock is "anonymously biased". The
60 // first thread which locks an anonymously biased object biases the
61 // lock toward that thread. If another thread subsequently attempts to
62 // lock the same object, the bias is revoked.
63 //
64 // Because there are no updates to the object header at all during
65 // recursive locking while the lock is biased, the biased lock entry
66 // code is simply a test of the object header's value. If this test
67 // succeeds, the lock has been acquired by the thread. If this test
68 // fails, a bit test is done to see whether the bias bit is still
69 // set. If not, we fall back to HotSpot's original CAS-based locking
70 // scheme. If it is set, we attempt to CAS in a bias toward this
71 // thread. The latter operation is expected to be the rarest operation
72 // performed on these locks. We optimistically expect the biased lock
73 // entry to hit most of the time, and want the CAS-based fallthrough
74 // to occur quickly in the situations where the bias has been revoked.
75 //
76 // Revocation of the lock's bias is fairly straightforward. We want to
77 // restore the object's header and stack-based BasicObjectLocks and
78 // BasicLocks to the state they would have been in had the object been
79 // locked by HotSpot's usual fast locking scheme. To do this, we bring
80 // the system to a safepoint and walk the stack of the thread toward
81 // which the lock is biased. We find all of the lock records on the
82 // stack corresponding to this object, in particular the first /
83 // "highest" record. We fill in the highest lock record with the
84 // object's displaced header (which is a well-known value given that
85 // we don't maintain an identity hash nor age bits for the object
86 // while it's in the biased state) and all other lock records with 0,
87 // the value for recursive locks. When the safepoint is released, the
88 // formerly-biased thread and all other threads revert back to
89 // HotSpot's CAS-based locking.
90 //
91 // This scheme can not handle transfers of biases of single objects
92 // from thread to thread efficiently, but it can handle bulk transfers
93 // of such biases, which is a usage pattern showing up in some
94 // applications and benchmarks. We implement "bulk rebias" and "bulk
95 // revoke" operations using a "bias epoch" on a per-data-type basis.
96 // If too many bias revocations are occurring for a particular data
97 // type, the bias epoch for the data type is incremented at a
98 // safepoint, effectively meaning that all previous biases are
99 // invalid. The fast path locking case checks for an invalid epoch in
100 // the object header and attempts to rebias the object with a CAS if
101 // found, avoiding safepoints or bulk heap sweeps (the latter which
102 // was used in a prior version of this algorithm and did not scale
103 // well). If too many bias revocations persist, biasing is completely
104 // disabled for the data type by resetting the prototype header to the
105 // unbiased markOop. The fast-path locking code checks to see whether
106 // the instance's bias pattern differs from the prototype header's and
107 // causes the bias to be revoked without reaching a safepoint or,
108 // again, a bulk heap sweep.
