1//! Implementation of C++11-consistent weak memory emulation using store buffers
2//! based on Dynamic Race Detection for C++ ("the paper"):
3//! <https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~afd/homepages/papers/pdfs/2017/POPL.pdf>
4//!
5//! This implementation will never generate weak memory behaviours forbidden by the C++11 model,
6//! but it is incapable of producing all possible weak behaviours allowed by the model. There are
7//! certain weak behaviours observable on real hardware but not while using this.
8//!
9//! Note that this implementation does not fully take into account of C++20's memory model revision to SC accesses
10//! and fences introduced by P0668 (<https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p0668r5.html>).
11//! This implementation is not fully correct under the revised C++20 model and may generate behaviours C++20
12//! disallows (<https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/2301>).
13//!
14//! Modifications are made to the paper's model to address C++20 changes:
15//! - If an SC load reads from an atomic store of any ordering, then a later SC load cannot read
16//!   from an earlier store in the location's modification order. This is to prevent creating a
17//!   backwards S edge from the second load to the first, as a result of C++20's coherence-ordered
18//!   before rules. (This seems to rule out behaviors that were actually permitted by the RC11 model
19//!   that C++20 intended to copy (<https://plv.mpi-sws.org/scfix/paper.pdf>); a change was
20//!   introduced when translating the math to English. According to Viktor Vafeiadis, this
21//!   difference is harmless. So we stick to what the standard says, and allow fewer behaviors.)
22//! - If an SC store happens after a load (of any ordering), then the existing store (of any ordering)
23//!   seen by the load is marked as an SC store. (The paper's model only marks stores that happen-before
24//!   an SC store as SC.)
25//! - SC fences are treated like AcqRel RMWs to a global clock, to ensure they induce enough
26//!   synchronization with the surrounding accesses. This rules out legal behavior, but it is really
27//!   hard to be more precise here.
28//!
29//! Rust follows the C++20 memory model (except for the Consume ordering and some operations not performable through C++'s
30//! `std::atomic<T>` API). It is therefore possible for this implementation to generate behaviours never observable when the
31//! same program is compiled and run natively. Unfortunately, no literature exists at the time of writing which proposes
32//! an implementable and C++20-compatible relaxed memory model that supports all atomic operation existing in Rust. The closest one is
33//! A Promising Semantics for Relaxed-Memory Concurrency by Jeehoon Kang et al. (<https://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~orilahav/papers/popl17.pdf>)
34//! However, this model lacks SC accesses and is therefore unusable by Miri (SC accesses are everywhere in library code).
35//!
36//! If you find anything that proposes a relaxed memory model that is C++20-consistent, supports all orderings Rust's atomic accesses
37//! and fences accept, and is implementable (with operational semantics), please open a GitHub issue!
38//!
39//! One characteristic of this implementation, in contrast to some other notable operational models such as ones proposed in
40//! Taming Release-Acquire Consistency by Ori Lahav et al. (<https://plv.mpi-sws.org/sra/paper.pdf>) or Promising Semantics noted above,
41//! is that this implementation does not require each thread to hold an isolated view of the entire memory. Here, store buffers are per-location
42//! and shared across all threads. This is more memory efficient but does require store elements (representing writes to a location) to record
43//! information about reads, whereas in the other two models it is the other way round: reads points to the write it got its value from.
44//! Additionally, writes in our implementation do not have globally unique timestamps attached. In the other two models this timestamp is
45//! used to make sure a value in a thread's view is not overwritten by a write that occurred earlier than the one in the existing view.
46//! In our implementation, this is detected using read information attached to store elements, as there is no data structure representing reads.
47//!
48//! The C++ memory model is built around the notion of an 'atomic object', so it would be natural
49//! to attach store buffers to atomic objects. However, Rust follows LLVM in that it only has
50//! 'atomic accesses'. Therefore Miri cannot know when and where atomic 'objects' are being
51//! created or destroyed, to manage its store buffers. Instead, we hence lazily create an
52//! atomic object on the first atomic write to a given region, and we destroy that object
53//! on the next non-atomic or imperfectly overlapping atomic write to that region.
54//! These lazy (de)allocations happen in memory_accessed() on non-atomic accesses, and
55//! get_or_create_store_buffer_mut() on atomic writes.
56//!
57//! One consequence of this difference is that safe/sound Rust allows for more operations on atomic locations
58//! than the C++20 atomic API was intended to allow, such as non-atomically accessing
59//! a previously atomically accessed location, or accessing previously atomically accessed locations with a differently sized operation
60//! (such as accessing the top 16 bits of an AtomicU32). These scenarios are generally undiscussed in formalizations of C++ memory model.
61//! In Rust, these operations can only be done through a `&mut AtomicFoo` reference or one derived from it, therefore these operations
62//! can only happen after all previous accesses on the same locations. This implementation is adapted to allow these operations.
63//! A mixed atomicity read that races with writes, or a write that races with reads or writes will still cause UBs to be thrown.
64//! Mixed size atomic accesses must not race with any other atomic access, whether read or write, or a UB will be thrown.
65//! You can refer to test cases in weak_memory/extra_cpp.rs and weak_memory/extra_cpp_unsafe.rs for examples of these operations.

67// Our and the author's own implementation (tsan11) of the paper have some deviations from the provided operational semantics in §5.3:
68// 1. In the operational semantics, loads acquire the vector clock of the atomic location
69// irrespective of which store buffer element is loaded. That's incorrect; the synchronization clock
70// needs to be tracked per-store-buffer-element. (The paper has a field "clocks" for that purpose,
71// but it is not actuallt used.) tsan11 does this correctly
72// (https://github.com/ChrisLidbury/tsan11/blob/ecbd6b81e9b9454e01cba78eb9d88684168132c7/lib/tsan/rtl/tsan_relaxed.cc#L305).
73//
74// 2. In the operational semantics, each store element keeps the timestamp of a thread when it loads from the store.
75// If the same thread loads from the same store element multiple times, then the timestamps at all loads are saved in a list of load elements.
76// This is not necessary as later loads by the same thread will always have greater timestamp values, so we only need to record the timestamp of the first
77// load by each thread. This optimisation is done in tsan11
78// (https://github.com/ChrisLidbury/tsan11/blob/ecbd6b81e9b9454e01cba78eb9d88684168132c7/lib/tsan/rtl/tsan_relaxed.h#L35-L37)
79// and here.
80//
81// 3. §4.5 of the paper wants an SC store to mark all existing stores in the buffer that happens before it
82// as SC. This is not done in the operational semantics but implemented correctly in tsan11
83// (https://github.com/ChrisLidbury/tsan11/blob/ecbd6b81e9b9454e01cba78eb9d88684168132c7/lib/tsan/rtl/tsan_relaxed.cc#L160-L167).
84// On top of this we've added a C++20 change: if the current SC store happens after a load, then the store seen by that load
85// is marked SC.
86//
87// 4. W_SC ; R_SC case requires the SC load to ignore all but last store marked SC (stores not marked SC are not
88// affected). But this rule is applied to all loads in ReadsFromSet from the paper (last two lines of code), not just SC load.
89// This is implemented correctly in tsan11
90// (https://github.com/ChrisLidbury/tsan11/blob/ecbd6b81e9b9454e01cba78eb9d88684168132c7/lib/tsan/rtl/tsan_relaxed.cc#L295)
