PART 1 LINUX Environment
1, Introduction to relevant knowledge
1. Common thread functions
The use of pthread thread library uses the header file pthread. Com in the source code h. Add the - lpthread option when linking with gcc to link the thread library.
(1) pthread_create creates a thread
int pthread_create(pthread_t *thread, const pthread_attr_t attr,void(start_rtn)(void),void * arg);
Parameter 1: identifier of the generating thread
Parameter 2: the property of the generated thread, which is usually set to NULL
Parameter 3: function executed by the new thread
Parameter 4: parameters of the new thread function
Function return value: 0 if the thread is created successfully, otherwise - 1

(2) pthread_exit thread exits itself

(3) pthread_join other threads waiting for a thread to exit
int pthread_join( pthread_t thread , void **value_ptr);
Parameter 1: identifier of the waiting thread
Parameter 2: a user-defined pointer used to store the return value of the waiting thread
Function return value: 0 if the execution is successful, and the error number if it fails. This function is used if one thread wants to wait for the termination of another thread

(4) pthread_cancel other threads forcibly kill a thread

  1. Mutex Usage
    (1) Mutex operation related functions
    pthread_mutex_init: mutex initialization
    pthread_mutex_lock: mutex locking
    pthread_mutex_unlock: release mutex
    pthread_mutex_destroy: release mutex resource
    (2) Methods of operating critical areas using mutexes:
    Using the function pthread_mutex_lock
    Critical zone operation
    Using the function pthread_mutex_unlock release mutex

  2. Semaphore usage
    (1) Semaphore correlation function
    The data type of semaphore is sem_t
    #include<semaphore.h>
    Correlation function: sem_init ,sem_wait, sem_post, sem_destroy
    int sem_init (sem_t *sem, int pshared, unsigned int value);
    Parameter 1: semaphore to be initialized
    Parameter 2: type of semaphore. If the value is 0, it indicates that it is a local semaphore of the current process. Otherwise, other processes can share the semaphore. LINUX threads generally do not support inter process shared semaphores, and this value is set to 0
    Parameter 3: initial value of semaphore.
    0 is returned when the call is successful, and - 1 is returned when it fails

int sem_wait(sem_t * sem);
Parameters: by sem_init calls the pointer sem of the initialized semaphore object to subtract 1 and wait for the semaphore. If the semaphore value is greater than 0, subtract 1 from the semaphore value and return immediately. If the value of the semaphore is 0, the thread is blocked. Equivalent to P operation.
0 is returned for success and - 1 is returned for failure

int sem_post(sem_t * sem);
Parameters: by SEM_ Pointer to the semaphore object initialized by the init call
Release the semaphore and increase the value of the semaphore by 1. Equivalent to V operation.

int sem_destroy(sem_t * sem);
Parameters: by SEM_ Pointer to semaphore object initialized by init call
Return all the resources you occupy. When cleaning up the semaphore, if there is still a thread waiting for it, the user will receive an error.

(2) Semaphore usage
Declare a semaphore sem_t my_sem;
Initialization semaphore SEM_ init(& my_sem,0,1);
sem_post and SEM_ The wait function is used together to achieve thread synchronization
Release semaphore int SEM_ destroy (& my_sem);

  1. Producer consumer problem
    (1) The basic framework of the producer consumer problem is given below. The synchronous mutual exclusion control is not realized. Check the program operation results carefully and analyze the reasons.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <time.h>
#define N 4 / / number of consumers or producers
#define M 20 / / number of buffers 
int in = 0; // Where the producer places the product
int out = 0; // Where consumers take products 
char buff[M]; // buffer 
int producter_id = 0; //Producer id
int consumer_id = 0; //Consumer id
/* Print buffer */
void print()
{
int i;
for(i = 0; i < M; i++)
printf("%c ", buff[i]);
printf("\n");
}
/* Producer method */
void *producter()
{
int id = ++producter_id;
while(1)
{
// The number of sleep can be used to adjust the speed of production and consumption
sleep(2);
char data;
data=rand()%26+65; 
in = in % M;
printf("Producer process%d stay%2d Location generation data%c: ", id,in,data); 
buff[in] = data; 
print(); 
++in;
}
}
/* Consumer approach */
void *consumer()
{
char data;
int id = ++consumer_id;
while(1)
{
// The number of sleep can be used to adjust the speed of production and consumption
sleep(1);
out = out % M;
data=buff[out];
printf("Consumer process%d stay%2d Location consumption data%c: ",id, out,data); 
buff[out] = '*';
print();
++out;
}
}
int main()
{
pthread_t p[N];
pthread_t c[N];
int i;
int ret[N];
for(i=0; i<M; i++)
buff[i]='*'; //'*' indicates null, initialize buffer
srand((int)time(NULL));
// Create N producer threads
for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
ret[i] = pthread_create(&p[i], NULL,(void*)producter, (void *)(&i));
if(ret[i] != 0)
{
printf("producter %d creation failed \n", i);
exit(1);
}
}
//Create N consumer threads
for(i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
ret[i] = pthread_create(&c[i], NULL, (void*)consumer, NULL);
if(ret[i] != 0)
{
printf("consumer %d creation failed\n", i);
exit(1);
}
}
//Destroy thread
for(i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
pthread_join(p[i],NULL);
pthread_join(c[i],NULL);
}
exit(0);
}

  1. Relationship analysis. The mutually exclusive access of producers and consumers to the buffer is a mutually exclusive relationship. At the same time, producers and consumers are a cooperative relationship. Only after producers produce, consumers can consume, and they are also a synchronous relationship.
  2. Organize ideas. It is relatively simple here. There are only two processes: producer and consumer. It happens that the two processes have a mutually exclusive relationship and a synchronous relationship. So what needs to be solved is the location of mutually exclusive and synchronous PV operations.
  3. Semaphore setting. As a mutually exclusive semaphore, mutex is used to control the mutually exclusive access buffer pool. The initial value of the mutually exclusive semaphore is 1; Semaphore full is used to record the number of "full" buffers in the current buffer pool. The initial value is 0. Semaphore empty is used to record the number of "empty" buffers in the current buffer pool. The initial value is n.
    (2) The synchronous mutual exclusion control function is added to the code to enable the program to realize the producer consumer problem.
    For the implementation method, refer to the algorithm on page 109 of the textbook. Tips:
    Using two synchronous semaphores, sem_t empty_sem; // Synchronous semaphore, which prevents the producer from releasing products when it is full
    sem_t full_sem; // Synchronize semaphores to prevent consumers from consuming when there is no product
    Use a mutex semaphore, pthread_mutex_t mutex; // Mutex semaphore. Only one thread accesses the buffer at a time

The parameter value of sleep() function in producer method and consumer method is 2;
The parameter value of sleep() function in producer method is 2, and the parameter value of sleep() function in consumer method is 4;
The parameter value of sleep() function in producer method is 4, and the parameter value of sleep() function in consumer method is 2;
2. Dining problem of philosophers
(1) The following code gives the basic framework of the philosopher's dining problem. It only realizes the mutual exclusion control of chopsticks, which will lead to deadlock. Understand the code and analyze the running results of the program.

Insert the code slice here
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <time.h>
#define N 5
pthread_mutex_t chopstick[N];//Chopsticks semaphore
//Philosopher thread function
void* philosopher(void* arg){
int *i;
i = (int *)arg;//Philosopher serial number
for(;;){
//reflection
printf("%d The philosopher is thinking......\n",*i);
//sleep(rand()%3);// Sleep random time, no more than 3 seconds
//Waiting for chopsticks
pthread_mutex_lock(&chopstick[*i]);
//sleep(rand()%2); // This statement can be added to facilitate the observation of deadlock
pthread_mutex_lock(&chopstick[(*i+1)%N]);
//eat
printf("%d The philosopher is eating......\n",*i);
//sleep(rand()%3);// Sleep random time, no more than 3 seconds
//Put the chopsticks back
pthread_mutex_unlock(&chopstick[*i]);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&chopstick[(*i+1)%N]);
}
}
int main(){
pthread_t id[N];
int i;
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
pthread_mutex_init(&chopstick[i],NULL);
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
{ int *p;
p=malloc(sizeof(int));
*p=i;
pthread_create(&id[i],NULL,philosopher,(void*)p);
}
for(i=0;i<N;i++)
pthread_join(id[i],NULL);
}
(2) The textbook gives three ways to solve the deadlock of philosophers' dining problem. Based on the above code, at least two solutions are realized.
semaphore chopstick[5] = {1,1,1,1,1};
semaphore num_mutex = 4;
while(wait(num_mutex))
{
	wait(chopstick[i]);
	wait(chopstick[(i+1)%5]);
 	// eat()
	
	signal(chopstick[i]);
	signal(chopstick[(i+1)%5]);
	signal(num_mutex);
}
semaphore chopstick[5] = {1,1,1,1,1}
do{
···
	// think()
	swait(chopstick[(i+1)%5],chopstick[i]);


	//eat()
	signal(chopstick[(i+1)%5],chopstick[i]);

}while(true)
semaphore chopstick[5]={1,1,1,1,1};
void philosopher(int i)
{
	while(true)
	{
		think();
		if(i%2 == 0) //Even philosophers, right first and then left.
		{
			wait (chopstick[(i + 1)%5]) ;
			wait (chopstick[i]) ;
			eat();
			signal (chopstick[(i + 1)%5]) ;
			signal (chopstick[i]) ;
		}
		else //Odd philosophers, left first and then right.
		{
			wait (chopstick[i]) ;
			wait (chopstick[(i + 1)%5]) ;
			eat();
			signal (chopstick[i]) ;
			signal (chopstick[(i + 1)%5]) ;
		}
	}
}
