      Implement ldrex/strex instructions in ARM simulator · 66ae5f7d
      binji authored
      This CL implements ldrex, ldrexb, ldrexh, strex, strexb, and strexh in the
      Simulator. These instructions provide "exclusive" access, which provides mutual
      exclusion for concurrent threads of execution.
      
      The ARM specification gives some leeway to implementors, but essentially
      describes each processor as having Local Monitor and Global Monitor. The Local
      Monitor is used to check the exclusivity state without having to synchronize
      with other processors. The Global Monitor is shared between processors. We
      model both to make it easier to match behavior with the spec.
      
      When running with multiple OS threads, each thread has its own isolate, and
      each isolate has its own Simulator. The Local Monitor is stored directly on the
      Simulator, and the Global Monitor is stored as a lazy singleton. The Global
      Monitor maintains a linked-list of all Simulators.
      
      All loads/stores (even non-exclusive) are guarded by the Global Monitor's mutex.
