38 Concurrency notes:
39 The __kind of a mutex is initialized either by the static
40 PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER or by a call to pthread_mutex_init.
41
42 After a mutex has been initialized, the __kind of a mutex is usually not
43 changed. BUT it can be set to -1 in pthread_mutex_destroy or elision can
44 be enabled. This is done concurrently in the pthread_mutex_*lock
45 functions by using the macro FORCE_ELISION. This macro is only defined
46 for architectures which supports lock elision.
47
48 For elision, there are the flags PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP and
49 PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP which can be set in addition to the already
50 set type of a mutex. Before a mutex is initialized, only
51 PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP can be set with pthread_mutexattr_settype.
52
53 After a mutex has been initialized, the functions pthread_mutex_*lock can
54 enable elision - if the mutex-type and the machine supports it - by
55 setting the flag PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP. This is done concurrently.
56 Afterwards the lock / unlock functions are using specific elision
57 code-paths. */
