cursor: pin S
OTN 解释如下：
cursor: pin SA session waits on this event when it wants to update a shared mutex pin and another session is currently in the process of updating a shared mutex pin for the same cursor object. This wait event should rarely be seen because a shared mutex pin update is very fast.(Wait Time: Microseconds)
Parameter Description
P1 Hash value of cursor
P2 Mutex value (top 2 bytes contains SID holding mutex in exclusive mode, and bottom two bytes usually hold the value 0)
P3 Mutex where (an internal code locator) OR’d with Mutex Sleeps

Oracle10gR2中引用的mutexes机制一定程度的替代了library cache pin，其结构更简单，相当于，每个child cursor下面都有一个mutexes这样的简单内存结构，当有session中要执行该SQL而需要pin cursor操作的时候，session需要以shared模式set这个内存位+1，表示session获得该mutex的shared mode lock.可以有很多session同时具有这个mutex的shared mode lock；但是在同一时间，只能有一个session在操作这个mutext +1或者-1。+1 -1的操作是排它性的原子操作。如果因为session并行太多，则导致某个session在等待其他session的mutext +1/-1操作,则该session要等待cursor: pin S等待事件。
当看到系统有很多session等待cursor: pin S事件的时候，要么是CPU不够快，要么是某个SQL的并行执行次数太多了而导致在child cursor上的mutex操作争用。如果是前者，则可以升级硬件。如果是因为SQL的并行太多，则要么想办法降低该SQL执行次数，要么将该SQL复制成N个其它的SQL。
select /*SQL 1*/ename from t where deptno=?
select /*SQL 2*/ename from t where deptno=?
select /*SQL …*/ename from t where deptno=?
select /*SQL N*/ename from t where deptno=?
这样就有了N个SQL Cursor,N个Mutex内存结构，就将争用分散开来，类似partition的作用了。
