// synch.cc // Routines for synchronizing threads. Three kinds of // synchronization routines are defined here: semaphores, locks // and condition variables (the implementation of the last two // are left to the reader). // // Any implementation of a synchronization routine needs some // primitive atomic operation. We assume Nachos is running on // a uniprocessor, and thus atomicity can be provided by // turning off interrupts. While interrupts are disabled, no // context switch can occur, and thus the current thread is guaranteed // to hold the CPU throughout, until interrupts are reenabled. // // Because some of these routines might be called with interrupts // already disabled (Semaphore::V for one), instead of turning // on interrupts at the end of the atomic operation, we always simply // re-set the interrupt state back to its original value (whether // that be disabled or enabled). // // Copyright (c) 1992-1993 The Regents of the University of California. // All rights reserved.
