Habrmutex vs atomic<bool>
Сравним разные варианты реализации блокировок с точки зрения накладных расходов. mutex, ptr, atomic в нескольких вариантах. Рассматриваем случай без контеншена.
Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)""The name sure sounds like “mutex”, and that is where the name comes from: “fast, user space mutex”. But, it isn’t really, it’s a building block for concurrency primitives that ushered in a modern world of concurrent performance […]
t was immediately clear that the futex was a huge improvement in highly concurrent environments. Just in that original paper, their tests with 1000 parallel tasks ran 20-120 times faster than sysv locks..🤯
Needless to say, other common operating systems followed suit, including Windows in 2012 and macOS by 2016.
These days, any good locking primitive is going to be based on a futex. […]""
N-gated Hacker News🎉 Surprise! 🎉 Another poorly disguised #advertisement for a book club that's so riveting even its own authors remain a mystery. 🤔 In a shocking twist, the #futex isn't a magical cure for all #programming woes, and the book is as useful as a unicycling octopus in a synchronized swimming competition. 🐙🚴♀️

GripNews🌖 Futex 趣味：用 C 打造我自己的互斥鎖 (Mutex)
➤ 從旋轉鎖到 Futex：優化鎖定機制的探索
✤ https://blog.fredrb.com/2025/06/02/futex-fun/
本文探討瞭如何在 Linux 環境下實作一個高效的鎖定機制。作者首先介紹了簡單的旋轉鎖 (spin lock)，並指出其高 CPU 佔用率的缺點。接著，深入研究了 Linux 的 Futex 系統呼叫，利用其將等待鎖的線程置於睡眠狀態，而非不斷迴圈檢測，從而大幅降低 CPU 消耗。作者詳細解釋了 Futex 的運作原理、不同情境下的行為，並提供了使用 Futex 實作互斥鎖的具體程式碼，並與旋轉鎖進行效能比較。
+ 寫得真棒！詳細解釋了 Futex 的原理和使用方法，對理解 Linux 核心的鎖定機制非常有幫助。
+ 程式碼很清晰易懂，實際跑了一下，CPU 佔用率果然有明顯改善。

Fun with Futex: building my own mutex in C for funtex
Fun with Futex Implementing an optimized lock in Linux requires some Operating System help. You can only get so far by doing everything in user-land. We are going to take a look how one can implement a simple spin lock in C (just like the spin lock in Go I implemented a while back) and then a slightly more elaborate lock using operating system’s primitives. The idea behind a mutex (mutual exclusion) is straightforward: we want some part of the code to be accessed only by a single thread at a time. If the resource a thread is trying to access (the critical zone) is already being accessed by something else: wait. The trick about implementing them is how you to do wait part!
Some brave soul decided to reinvent the wheel by building their own #mutex in C, because, apparently, mastering pre-existing solutions just wasn't challenging (or fun) enough. 🤦♂️ Instead of taking a nice walk outside, they've chosen to dance with futexes, as if Linux needed more accidental 'optimizations.' 🧐🔧

[Перевод] Самые быстрые мьютексы
Cosmopolitan Libc хорошо известна своим « полиглотным жирным бинарным » хаком, который позволяем исполняемым файлам запускаться на шести операционных системах для AMD64/ARM64. Вас может удивить, что при этом она может быть лучше С‑библиотекой для вашего продакшена. Чтобы продемонстрировать это, давайте сравним библиотеку мьютексов Cosmo с другими платформами. Мы напишем простой тест, который создает 30 потоков, увеличивающих одно и то же число 100 000 раз. Это поможет проверить, насколько хорошо реализация мьютексов справляется с задачей при интенсивном использовании.
