Pretty flexible wrt implementing those exotic things back in the day, 
experimental algos that need DCAS, KCSS, ect... A heck of a lot of 
things can be accomplished with DWCAS, aka cmpxchg8b on a 32 bit system. 
or cmpxchg16b on a 64-bit system.

People would bend over backwards to get a DCAS, or NCAS. It would be 
infested with strange indirection ala d"escriptors", and involved a shit 
load of atomic RMW's. CAS, DWCAS, XCHG and XADD can get a lot done.

While I was not directly exposed to KCSS, I was exposed to the underlying
need for multi-location Compare and Swap requirements, and provided a means
to implement same in both ASF and ESM. {All of us (synchronization people)
were so exposed. And a lot of academic ideas came out of those trends, too.}

In my case, I simply wanted a way "out" of inventing a new synchronization
primitive ever ISA generation. What my solution entails is a modification
to the cache coherence model (NaK) that indicates "Yes I have the line you
referenced, but, no you can't have it right now" in order to strengthen 
the guarantees of forward progress.

How does it strengthen the guarantees of forward progress?  My guess:
If the requester itself is in an atomic sequence B, it will cancel it.
This could help if the atomic sequence A that caused the NaK then
tries to get a cache line that would be kept by B.

There is still a chance of both sequences canceling each other by
sending NaKs at the same time, but it is smaller and with something
like exponential backoff eventual forward progress could be achieved.

The allowance of a NaK is only available under somewhat special
circumstances::
a) in Careful mode:: when core can see that all STs have write permission
   and data is present, NaKs allow the Modification part to run to 
   completion.
b) In Slow and Methodical mode:: core can NaK any access to any of its
   cache lines--preventing interference.

Yes, the "other guy" takes the hit not the guy who has made more forward
progress. If B was an innocent accessor of the data, it retires its
request--this generally takes 100-odd cycles, allowing A to complete 
the event by the time the innocent request shows up again.

Instead of some contrived back-off policy--at the failure point one can
read the WHY register. 0 indicates success; negative indicates spurious,
positive indicates how far down the line of requestors YOU happen to be.
So, if you are going after a unit of work, you march down the queue WHY
units and then YOU are guaranteed that YOU are the only one after that
unit of work.

Step one. Make sure that a failure means another thread made progress. 
strong CAS does this. Don't let it spuriously fail where nothing makes 
progress... ;^o

Oh my we got a load on the reservation granule, abort all LL/SC in 
progress wrt that granule. Of course this assumes that the user that 
created the program for it gets things right. For a LL/SC on the PPC it 
definitely helps where things are aligned and padded up to a reservation 
granule, not just a l2 cache line. Helps mitigate false sharing causing 
livelock.

Even in weak CAS, akin to LL/SC. Well, how sensitive is that reservation 
granule. Can a simple load cause a failure?

Absollutely!

WHY is only valid in "slow and methodological" which has strong guarantees
of forward progress--at least 1 thread is making forward progress in S&M.

Spurious has to do with things like "system arbiter buffer overflow" and 
is not related to exceptions or interrupts.

This is why I created NaK in the cache coherence protocol--to strengthen
the guarantee of forward progress.

Innocent LD gets NaKed causing the innocent thread to waste time while
allowing the ATOMIC event to make forward progress.

In my case reservation granule is a cache line {which is the same across
the memory hierarchy--but still allows for implementation defined size}.

For example:: HBM can deliver 1024-bits (soon 2048-bits) in a single beat,
so, for main_memory == HBM it makes sense to align the size of the LLcache
to the width of HBM. Once in LLC, you can parcel it out any way your system 
prescribes.

In my 40 years of SMP OS/HV work, I don't recall a
situation where 'MoveElement' would be useful or
required as an hardware atomic operation.

Individual atomic "Remove Element" and "Insert/Append Element"[*], yes.
Combined?   Too inflexible.

[*] For which atomic compare-and-swap or atomic swap is generally sufficient.

Atomic add/sub are useful.  The other atomic math operations (min, max, etc)
may be useful in certain cases as well.

The question is not would "MoveElement" be useful, but
would it be useful to have a single ATOMIC event be
able to manipulate {5,6,7,8} pointers in one event ??

Yes, you can add special instructions.   However, the compilers will be unlikely
to generate them, thus applications that desired the generation of such an
instruction would need to create a compiler extension (like gcc __builtin functions)
or inline assembler which would then make the program that uses the capability both compiler
specific _and_ hardware specific.

Most extant SMP processors provide a compare and swap operation, which
are widely supported by the common compilers that support the C and C++
threading functionality.

Interestingly, Linux restartable sequences allow for acquisition of
a lock with no membarrier or atomic instruction on the fast path,
at the cost of a syscall on the slow path (no free lunch...)

But you also need assembler to do it.

An example is, for example, at

I need to read more about them, but they kind of remind me of an 
asymmetric mutex, or rwmutex. Ones that use a remote membar on the slow 
path. Iirc, FlushProcessWriteBuffers on windows and iirc, 
synchronize_rcu or membarrier on linux.

Long experience.   Back in the early 80's we had fancy instructions
for searching linked lists (up to 100 digit or byte keys, comparisons for
equal, ne, lt, gt, lte, gte, and any-bit-equal).    Took special language
support to use, which mean that it wasn't usable from COBOL without
extensions.   We also had Lock, Unlock and condition variable instructions
(with a small microkernel to handle the contention cases, trapping on
acquisition failure, release [when another thread was pending], and
event signal.).    Perhaps ahead of its time, as most of the common languages
(COBOL and Fortran) had no syntactical support for them.  We used them
in the OS language (SPRITE), but they never got traction in applications (and then the
entire computer line was discontinued in 1991).

That's not to suggest that your innovations aren't potentially useful
or an interesting take on multithreaded instruction primitives;
just that idealism and the real world are often incompatible :-)

I am having trouble understanding how the block of code in the 
esmINTERFERENCE() block is protected so that the whole thing executes as 
a unit. It would seem to me that the address range(s) needing to be 
locked would have to be supplied throughout the system, including across 
buffers and bus bridges. It would have to go to the memory coherence 
point. Otherwise, some other device using a bridge could update the same 
address range in the middle of an update.

I am assuming the esmLockStore() just unlocks what was previously locked 
and the stores have already happened by that time.

It would seem that esmINTERFERENCE() would indicate that everybody with 
access out to the coherence point has agreed to the locked area? Does 
that require that all devices respect the esmINTERFERENCE()?

I may be wrong about this, but I think you have a misconception.  The 
ESM doesn't *prevent* interference, but it *detect* interference.  Thus 
nothing is required of other cores, no locks, etc.  If they write to a 
"protected" location, the write is allowed, but the core in the ESM is 
notified, so it can redo the ESM protected code.

There is no "locking" in the sense of preventing any accesses.

Sounds very much similar to the ARMv8 concept of an "exclusive monitor"
(the basis of the Store-Exclusive/Load-Exclusive instructions, which
mirror the LL/SC paradigm).  The ARMv8 monitors an implementation defined
range surrounding the target address and the store will fail if any other
agent has modified any byte within the exclusive range.

esmINTERFERENCE seems to require multiple of these exclusive blocks
to cover non-contiguous address ranges, which on first blush leads
me to worry both about deadlock situations and starvation issues.

Over in the Miss Buffer there are (at least) 8 miss buffers. Each miss
buffer has to monitor inbound messages for requests (SNOOPs) to its
entry.

So, each MB entry has a bit to tell if it is participating in an event.
esmINTERFERENCE is a way to sample all participating MB entries simul-
taneously; and in addition, esmINTERFERENCE is part of what enables
the NaKing of SNOOP requests.
