/* NAME rendezvous - user level process synchronization SYNOPSIS ulong rendezvous(ulong tag, ulong value) DESCRIPTION The rendezvous system call allows two processes to synchro- nize and exchange a value. In conjunction with the shared memory system calls (see segattach(2) and fork(2)), it enables parallel programs to control their scheduling. Two processes wishing to synchronize call rendezvous with a common tag, typically an address in memory they share. One process will arrive at the rendezvous first; it suspends execution until a second arrives. When a second process meets the rendezvous the value arguments are exchanged between the processes and returned as the result of the respective rendezvous system calls. Both processes are awakened when the rendezvous succeeds. The set of tag values which two processes may use to rendezvous-their tag space-is inherited when a process forks, unless RFREND is set in the argument to rfork; see fork(2). If a rendezvous is interrupted the return value is ~0, so that value should not be used in normal communication. * This simulates rendezvous with shared memory, pause, and SIGUSR1. */ #include #include enum { VOUSHASH = 257, }; typedef struct Vous Vous; struct Vous { Vous *link; Lock lk; int pid; ulong val; ulong tag; }; static void ign(int x) { USED(x); } void /*__attribute__((constructor))*/ ignusr1(void) { signal(SIGUSR1, ign); } static Vous vouspool[2048]; static int nvousused; static Vous *vousfree; static Vous *voushash[VOUSHASH]; static Lock vouslock; static Vous* getvous(void) { Vous *v; if(vousfree){ v = vousfree; vousfree = v->link; }else if(nvousused < nelem(vouspool)) v = &vouspool[nvousused++]; else abort(); return v; } static void putvous(Vous *v) { lock(&vouslock); v->link = vousfree; vousfree = v; unlock(&vouslock); } static Vous* findvous(ulong tag, ulong val, int pid) { int h; Vous *v, **l; lock(&vouslock); h = tag%VOUSHASH; for(l=&voushash[h], v=*l; v; l=&(*l)->link, v=*l){ if(v->tag == tag){ *l = v->link; unlock(&vouslock); return v; } } v = getvous(); v->pid = pid; v->link = voushash[h]; v->val = val; v->tag = tag; lock(&v->lk); voushash[h] = v; unlock(&vouslock); return v; } #define DBG 0 ulong rendezvous(ulong tag, ulong val) { int me, vpid; ulong rval; Vous *v; sigset_t mask; me = getpid(); v = findvous(tag, val, me); if(v->pid == me){ if(DBG)fprint(2, "pid is %d tag %lux, sleeping\n", me, tag); /* * No rendezvous partner was found; the next guy * through will find v and wake us, so we must go * to sleep. * * To go to sleep: * 1. disable USR1 signals. * 2. unlock v->lk (tells waker okay to signal us). * 3. atomically suspend and enable USR1 signals. * * The call to ignusr1() could be done once at * process creation instead of every time through rendezvous. */ v->val = val; ignusr1(); sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, NULL, &mask); sigaddset(&mask, SIGUSR1); sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL); sigdelset(&mask, SIGUSR1); unlock(&v->lk); sigsuspend(&mask); rval = v->val; if(DBG)fprint(2, "pid is %d, awake\n", me); putvous(v); }else{ /* * Found someone to meet.
