BackgroundConcurrent access to shared data may result in data inconsistencyMaintaining data consistency requires mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processesSuppose that we wanted to provide a solution to the consumer-producer problem that fills all the buffers. We can do so by having an integer count that keeps track of the number of full buffers. Initially, count is set to 0. It is incremented by the producer after it produces a new buffer and is decremented by the consumer after it consumes a buffer.

Race Conditioncount++ could be implemented as register1 = count register1 = register1 + 1 count = register1count-- could be implemented as register2 = count register2 = register2 - 1 count = register2Consider this execution interleaving with “count = 5” initially:
S0: producer execute register1 = count {register1 = 5}S1: producer execute register1 = register1 + 1 {register1 = 6} S2: consumer execute register2 = count {register2 = 5} S3: consumer execute register2 = register2 - 1 {register2 = 4} S4: producer execute count = register1 {count = 6 } S5: consumer execute count = register2 {count = 4}

Solution to Critical-Section Problem1. Mutual Exclusion - If process Pi is executing in its critical section, then
no other processes can be executing in their critical sections2. Progress - If no process is executing in its critical section and there
exist some processes that wish to enter their critical section, then the selection of the processes that will enter the critical section next cannot be postponed indefinitely
3. Bounded Waiting - A bound must exist on the number of times that other processes are allowed to enter their critical sections after a process has made a request to enter its critical section and before that request is grantedAssume that each process executes at a nonzero speed No assumption concerning relative speed of the N processes

Peterson’s Solution
Two-process solutionAssume that the LOAD and STORE instructions are atomic; that is, cannot be interrupted.The two processes share two variables:
int turn; Boolean flag[2]
The variable turn indicates whose turn it is to enter the critical section. The flag array is used to indicate if a process is ready to enter the critical section. flag[i] = true implies that process Pi is ready!

Synchronization HardwareMany systems provide hardware support for critical section codeUniprocessors – could disable interrupts
Currently running code would execute without preemptionGenerally too inefficient on multiprocessor systems
Operating systems using this not broadly scalable
Modern machines provide special atomic hardware instructions
Atomic = non-interruptableEither test memory word and set valueOr swap contents of two memory words

Originally called P() and V()Less complicatedCan only be accessed via two indivisible (atomic) operations
wait (S) { while S <= 0
; // no-op S--; }

Semaphore ImplementationMust guarantee that no two processes can execute wait () and signal () on the same semaphore at the same timeThus, implementation becomes the critical section problem where the wait and signal code are placed in the critical section.
Could now have busy waiting in critical section implementationBut implementation code is shortLittle busy waiting if critical section rarely occupied
Note that applications may spend lots of time in critical sections and therefore this is not a good solution.

With each semaphore there is an associated waiting queue. Each entry in a waiting queue has two data items:
value (of type integer) pointer to next record in the list
Two operations:block – place the process invoking the operation on the appropriate waiting queue.wakeup – remove one of processes in the waiting queue and place it in the ready queue.

Deadlock and StarvationDeadlock – two or more processes are waiting indefinitely for an event that can be caused by only one of the waiting processesLet S and Q be two semaphores initialized to 1
P0 P1
wait (S); wait (Q); wait (Q); wait (S);... … signal (S); signal (Q); signal (Q); signal (S);
Starvation – indefinite blocking. A process may never be removed from the semaphore queue in which it is suspended.Priority Inversion - Scheduling problem when lower-priority process holds a lock needed by higher-priority process

臨界區域 (3/4)臨界區域 region v when B do S 可利用 mutex 、first_delay 及 second_delay 三個號誌實作。
mutex 號誌是用來確保臨界區的互斥條件成立。 如果行程因為 B 為 FALSE 而無法進入臨界區,該行程將會在號誌 first_delay 等待。 在號誌 first_delay 等待的行程重新檢查 B 值之前,會離開號誌 first_delay ,而在號誌 second_delay 等待。 分成 first_delay 與 second_delay 兩段式等待的原因,是為了要避免行程持續忙碌地檢查 B 值。 當一個行程離開了臨界區之後,可能因為執行了敘述 S 而改變了 B 的值,所以需要重新檢查。

Types of Storage Media
Volatile storage – information stored here does not survive system crashes
Example: main memory, cache
Nonvolatile storage – Information usually survives crashesExample: disk and tape
Stable storage – Information never lostNot actually possible, so approximated via replication or RAID to devices with independent failure modes
Goal is to assure transaction atomicity where failures cause loss of information on
volatile storage

Log-Based RecoveryRecord to stable storage information about all modifications by a transactionMost common is write-ahead logging
Log on stable storage, each log record describes single transaction write operation, including
Transaction nameData item nameOld valueNew value
<Ti starts> written to log when transaction Ti starts<Ti commits> written when Ti commits
Log entry must reach stable storage before operation on data occurs

Log-Based Recovery AlgorithmUsing the log, system can handle any volatile memory errors
Undo(Ti) restores value of all data updated by Ti
Redo(Ti) sets values of all data in transaction Ti to new values
Undo(Ti) and redo(Ti) must be idempotentMultiple executions must have the same result as one execution
If system fails, restore state of all updated data via logIf log contains <Ti starts> without <Ti commits>, undo(Ti)If log contains <Ti starts> and <Ti commits>, redo(Ti)

CheckpointsLog could become long, and recovery could take longCheckpoints shorten log and recovery time.Checkpoint scheme:1. Output all log records currently in volatile storage to stable
storage2. Output all modified data from volatile to stable storage3. Output a log record <checkpoint> to the log on stable storage
Now recovery only includes Ti, such that Ti started executing before the most recent checkpoint, and all transactions after Ti All other transactions already on stable storage

Nonserial schedule allows overlapped executeResulting execution not necessarily incorrect
Consider schedule S, consecutive operations Oi, Oj
Conflict if access same data item, with at least one write
If Oi, Oj consecutive and operations of different transactions & Oi and Oj don’t conflict
Then S’ with swapped order Oj Oi equivalent to S
If S can become a serial S’ via swapping nonconflicting operations
S is conflict serializable

Locking Protocol
Ensure serializability by associating lock with each data item
Follow locking protocol for access control
LocksShared – Ti has shared-mode lock (S) on item Q, Ti can read Q but not write QExclusive – Ti has exclusive-mode lock (X) on Q, Ti can read and write Q
Require every transaction on item Q acquire appropriate lockIf lock already held, new request may have to wait
Similar to readers-writers algorithm

Timestamp-based Protocols
Select order among transactions in advance – timestamp-orderingTransaction Ti associated with timestamp TS(Ti) before Ti starts
TS(Ti) < TS(Tj) if Ti entered system before Tj
TS can be generated from system clock or as logical counter incremented at each entry of transaction
Timestamps determine serializability orderIf TS(Ti) < TS(Tj), system must ensure produced schedule equivalent to serial schedule where Ti appears before Tj

Timestamp-based Protocol Implementation
Data item Q gets two timestampsW-timestamp(Q) – largest timestamp of any transaction that executed write(Q) successfullyR-timestamp(Q) – largest timestamp of successful read(Q)Updated whenever read(Q) or write(Q) executed
Timestamp-ordering protocol assures any conflicting read and write executed in timestamp orderSuppose Ti executes read(Q)
If TS(Ti) < W-timestamp(Q), Ti needs to read value of Q that was already overwritten
read operation rejected and Ti rolled backIf TS(Ti) ≥ W-timestamp(Q)
read executed, R-timestamp(Q) set to max(R-timestamp(Q), TS(Ti))

Timestamp-ordering Protocol
Suppose Ti executes write(Q)If TS(Ti) < R-timestamp(Q), value Q produced by Ti was needed previously and Ti assumed it would never be produced
Write operation rejected, Ti rolled back
If TS(Ti) < W-tiimestamp(Q), Ti attempting to write obsolete value of Q
Write operation rejected and Ti rolled back
Otherwise, write executed
Any rolled back transaction Ti is assigned new timestamp and restartedAlgorithm ensures conflict serializability and freedom from deadlock
