André Bargull 14ca007916 Bug 1625138 - Part 41: Remove no longer needed includes for mozilla/TypeTraits. r=froydnj
Also adds missing includes in some files, these were previously only transivitely
included through mozilla/TypeTraits.h.

/**
* An enum of memory ordering possibilities for atomics.
*
* Memory ordering is the observable state of distinct values in memory.
* (It's a separate concept from atomicity, which concerns whether an
* operation can ever be observed in an intermediate state. Don't
* conflate the two!) Given a sequence of operations in source code on
* memory, it is *not* always the case that, at all times and on all
* cores, those operations will appear to have occurred in that exact
* sequence. First, the compiler might reorder that sequence, if it
* thinks another ordering will be more efficient. Second, the CPU may
* not expose so consistent a view of memory. CPUs will often perform
* their own instruction reordering, above and beyond that performed by
* the compiler. And each core has its own memory caches, and accesses
* (reads and writes both) to "memory" may only resolve to out-of-date
* cache entries -- not to the "most recently" performed operation in
* some global sense. Any access to a value that may be used by
* multiple threads, potentially across multiple cores, must therefore
* have a memory ordering imposed on it, for all code on all
* threads/cores to have a sufficiently coherent worldview.
*
* http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Atomic/GCCMM/AtomicSync and
* http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/memory_order go into more
* detail on all this, including examples of how each mode works.
*
* Note that for simplicity and practicality, not all of the modes in
* C++11 are supported. The missing C++11 modes are either subsumed by
* the modes we provide below, or not relevant for the CPUs we support
* in Gecko. These three modes are confusing enough as it is!
*/
enum MemoryOrdering {
/*
* Relaxed ordering is the simplest memory ordering: none at all.
* When the result of a write is observed, nothing may be inferred
* about other memory. Writes ostensibly performed "before" on the
* writing thread may not yet be visible. Writes performed "after" on
* the writing thread may already be visible, if the compiler or CPU
* reordered them. (The latter can happen if reads and/or writes get
* held up in per-processor caches.) Relaxed ordering means
* operations can always use cached values (as long as the actual
* updates to atomic values actually occur, correctly, eventually), so
* it's usually the fastest sort of atomic access. For this reason,
* *it's also the most dangerous kind of access*.
*
* Relaxed ordering is good for things like process-wide statistics
* counters that don't need to be consistent with anything else, so
* long as updates themselves are atomic. (And so long as any
* observations of that value can tolerate being out-of-date -- if you
* need some sort of up-to-date value, you need some sort of other
* synchronizing operation.) It's *not* good for locks, mutexes,
* reference counts, etc. that mediate access to other memory, or must
* be observably consistent with other memory.
*
* x86 architectures don't take advantage of the optimization
* opportunities that relaxed ordering permits. Thus it's possible
* that using relaxed ordering will "work" on x86 but fail elsewhere
* (ARM, say, which *does* implement non-sequentially-consistent
* relaxed ordering semantics). Be extra-careful using relaxed
* ordering if you can't easily test non-x86 architectures!
*/
Relaxed,
/*
* When an atomic value is updated with ReleaseAcquire ordering, and
* that new value is observed with ReleaseAcquire ordering, prior
* writes (atomic or not) are also observable. What ReleaseAcquire
* *doesn't* give you is any observable ordering guarantees for
* ReleaseAcquire-ordered operations on different objects. For
* example, if there are two cores that each perform ReleaseAcquire
* operations on separate objects, each core may or may not observe
* the operations made by the other core. The only way the cores can
* be synchronized with ReleaseAcquire is if they both
* ReleaseAcquire-access the same object. This implies that you can't
* necessarily describe some global total ordering of ReleaseAcquire
* operations.
*
* ReleaseAcquire ordering is good for (as the name implies) atomic
* operations on values controlling ownership of things: reference
* counts, mutexes, and the like. However, if you are thinking about
* using these to implement your own locks or mutexes, you should take
* a good, hard look at actual lock or mutex primitives first.
*/
ReleaseAcquire,
/*
* When an atomic value is updated with SequentiallyConsistent
* ordering, all writes observable when the update is observed, just
* as with ReleaseAcquire ordering. But, furthermore, a global total
* ordering of SequentiallyConsistent operations *can* be described.
* For example, if two cores perform SequentiallyConsistent operations
* on separate objects, one core will observably perform its update
* (and all previous operations will have completed), then the other
* core will observably perform its update (and all previous
* operations will have completed). (Although those previous
* operations aren't themselves ordered -- they could be intermixed,
* or ordered if they occur on atomic values with ordering
* requirements.) SequentiallyConsistent is the *simplest and safest*
* ordering of atomic operations -- it's always as if one operation
* happens, then another, then another, in some order -- and every
* core observes updates to happen in that single order. Because it
* has the most synchronization requirements, operations ordered this
* way also tend to be slowest.
*
* SequentiallyConsistent ordering can be desirable when multiple
* threads observe objects, and they all have to agree on the
* observable order of changes to them. People expect
* SequentiallyConsistent ordering, even if they shouldn't, when
* writing code, atomic or otherwise. SequentiallyConsistent is also
* the ordering of choice when designing lockless data structures. If
* you don't know what order to use, use this one.
