#ifndef _SPARC64_BACKOFF_H
#define _SPARC64_BACKOFF_H
+/* The macros in this file implement an exponential backoff facility
+ * for atomic operations.
+ *
+ * When multiple threads compete on an atomic operation, it is
+ * possible for one thread to be continually denied a successful
+ * completion of the compare-and-swap instruction. Heavily
+ * threaded cpu implementations like Niagara can compound this
+ * problem even further.
+ *
+ * When an atomic operation fails and needs to be retried, we spin a
+ * certain number of times. At each subsequent failure of the same
+ * operation we double the spin count, realizing an exponential
+ * backoff.
+ *
+ * When we spin, we try to use an operation that will cause the
+ * current cpu strand to block, and therefore make the core fully
+ * available to any other other runnable strands. There are two
+ * options, based upon cpu capabilities.
+ *
+ * On all cpus prior to SPARC-T4 we do three dummy reads of the
+ * condition code register. Each read blocks the strand for something
+ * between 40 and 50 cpu cycles.
+ *
+ * For SPARC-T4 and later we have a special "pause" instruction
+ * available. This is implemented using writes to register %asr27.
+ * The cpu will block the number of cycles written into the register,
+ * unless a disrupting trap happens first. SPARC-T4 specifically
+ * implements pause with a granularity of 8 cycles. Each strand has
+ * an internal pause counter which decrements every 8 cycles. So the
+ * chip shifts the %asr27 value down by 3 bits, and writes the result
+ * into the pause counter. If a value smaller than 8 is written, the
+ * chip blocks for 1 cycle.
+ *
+ * To achieve the same amount of backoff as the three %ccr reads give
+ * on earlier chips, we shift the backoff value up by 7 bits. (Three
+ * %ccr reads block for about 128 cycles, 1 << 7 == 128) We write the
+ * whole amount we want to block into the pause register, rather than
+ * loop writing 128 each time.
