2011-03-30cheap special-case optimization for normal mutexesRich Felker1-0/+4
cycle-level benchmark on atom cpu showed typical pthread_mutex_lock call dropping from ~120 cycles to ~90 cycles with this change. benefit may vary with compiler options and version, but this optimization is very cheap to make and should always help some.
2011-03-17implement robust mutexesRich Felker1-3/+3
some of this code should be cleaned up, e.g. using macros for some of the bit flags, masks, etc. nonetheless, the code is believed to be working and correct at this point.
2011-03-17unify lock and owner fields of mutex structureRich Felker1-2/+3
this change is necessary to free up one slot in the mutex structure so that we can use doubly-linked lists in the implementation of robust mutexes.
2011-03-16correct error returns for error-checking mutexesRich Felker1-1/+5
2011-02-17reorganize pthread data structures and move the definitions to alltypes.hRich Felker1-1/+1
this allows sys/types.h to provide the pthread types, as required by POSIX. this design also facilitates forcing ABI-compatible sizes in the arch-specific alltypes.h, while eliminating the need for developers changing the internals of the pthread types to poke around with arch-specific headers they may not be able to test.
