=head1 DESCRIPTION
OpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided
that at least two callback functions are set, locking_function and
threadid_func.
locking_function(int mode, int n, const char *file, int line) is
needed to perform locking on shared data structures.
(Note that OpenSSL uses a number of global data structures that
will be implicitly shared whenever multiple threads use OpenSSL.)
Multi-threaded applications will crash at random if it is not set.
locking_function() must be able to handle up to CRYPTO_num_locks()
different mutex locks. It sets the B<n>-th lock if B<mode> &
B<CRYPTO_LOCK>, and releases it otherwise.
B<file> and B<line> are the file number of the function setting the
lock. They can be useful for debugging.
threadid_func(CRYPTO_THREADID *id) is needed to record the currently-executing
thread's identifier into B<id>. The implementation of this callback should not
fill in B<id> directly, but should use CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() if thread
IDs are numeric, or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer() if they are pointer-based.
If the application does not register such a callback using
CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback(), then a default implementation is used - on
Windows and BeOS this uses the system's default thread identifying APIs, and on
all other platforms it uses the address of B<errno>. The latter is satisfactory
for thread-safety if and only if the platform has a thread-local error number
facility.
Once threadid_func() is registered, or if the built-in default implementation is
to be used;
=over 4
=item *
CRYPTO_THREADID_current() records the currently-executing thread ID into the
given B<id> object.
=item *
CRYPTO_THREADID_cmp() compares two thread IDs (returning zero for equality, ie.
the same semantics as memcmp()).
=item *
CRYPTO_THREADID_cpy() duplicates a thread ID value,
=item *
CRYPTO_THREADID_hash() returns a numeric value usable as a hash-table key. This
is usually the exact numeric or pointer-based thread ID used internally, however
this also handles the unusual case where pointers are larger than 'long'
variables and the platform's thread IDs are pointer-based - in this case, mixing
is done to attempt to produce a unique numeric value even though it is not as
wide as the platform's true thread IDs.
=back
Additionally, OpenSSL supports dynamic locks, and sometimes, some parts
of OpenSSL need it for better performance. To enable this, the following
is required:
=over 4
=item *
Three additional callback function, dyn_create_function, dyn_lock_function
and dyn_destroy_function.
=item *
A structure defined with the data that each lock needs to handle.
=back
struct CRYPTO_dynlock_value has to be defined to contain whatever structure
is needed to handle locks.
dyn_create_function(const char *file, int line) is needed to create a
lock. Multi-threaded applications might crash at random if it is not set.
dyn_lock_function(int mode, CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line)
is needed to perform locking off dynamic lock numbered n. Multi-threaded
applications might crash at random if it is not set.
dyn_destroy_function(CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line) is
needed to destroy the lock l. Multi-threaded applications might crash at
random if it is not set.
CRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid() is used to create locks. It will call
dyn_create_function for the actual creation.
CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid() is used to destroy locks. It will call
dyn_destroy_function for the actual destruction.
CRYPTO_lock() is used to lock and unlock the locks. mode is a bitfield
describing what should be done with the lock. n is the number of the
lock as returned from CRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid(). mode can be combined
from the following values. These values are pairwise exclusive, with
undefined behaviour if misused (for example, CRYPTO_READ and CRYPTO_WRITE
should not be used together):
CRYPTO_LOCK 0x01
CRYPTO_UNLOCK 0x02
CRYPTO_READ 0x04
CRYPTO_WRITE 0x08
=head1 RETURN VALUES
CRYPTO_num_locks() returns the required number of locks.
CRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid() returns the index to the newly created lock.
The other functions return no values.
=head1 NOTES
You can find out if OpenSSL was configured with thread support:
#define OPENSSL_THREAD_DEFINES
#include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
#if defined(OPENSSL_THREADS)
// thread support enabled
#else
// no thread support
#endif
Also, dynamic locks are currently not used internally by OpenSSL, but
may do so in the future.
=head1 EXAMPLES
B<crypto/threads/mttest.c> shows examples of the callback functions on
Solaris, Irix and Win32.
=head1 HISTORY
CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() is
available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
CRYPTO_num_locks() was added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
All functions dealing with dynamic locks were added in OpenSSL 0.9.5b-dev.
B<CRYPTO_THREADID> and associated functions were introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.0
to replace (actually, deprecate) the previous CRYPTO_set_id_callback(),
CRYPTO_get_id_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_id() functions which assumed
thread IDs to always be represented by 'unsigned long'.
