Me@11 27 *Polls each sched slot exactly once, hands any requests made by a newly
Me@11 28 * done slave to the "request handler" plug-in function
Me@0 29 *
Me@11 30 *Any slots that need a virt procr assigned are given to the "schedule"
Me@11 31 * plug-in function, which tries to assign a virt procr (slave) to it.
Me@0 32 *
Me@11 33 *When all slots needing a processor have been given to the schedule plug-in,
Me@11 34 * a fraction of the procrs successfully scheduled are put into the
Me@11 35 * work queue, then a continuation of this function is put in, then the rest
Me@11 36 * of the virt procrs that were successfully scheduled.
Me@0 37 *
Me@11 38 *The first thing the continuation does is busy-wait until the previous
Me@11 39 * animation completes. This is because an (unlikely) continuation may
Me@11 40 * sneak through queue before previous continuation is done putting second
Me@11 41 * part of scheduled slaves in, which is the only race condition.

Me@4 45 /*May 29, 2010 -- birth a Master during init so that first core loop to
Me@11 46 * start running gets it and does all the stuff for a newly born --
Me@11 47 * from then on, will be doing continuation, but do suspension self
Me@4 48 * directly at end of master loop
Me@4 49 *So VMS__init just births the master virtual processor same way it births
Me@4 50 * all the others -- then does any extra setup needed and puts it into the
Me@4 51 * work queue.
Me@4 52 *However means have to make masterEnv a global static volatile the same way
Me@31 53 * did with readyToAnimateQ in core loop. -- for performance, put the
Me@11 54 * jump to the core loop directly in here, and have it directly jump back.
Me@31 55 *
Me@31 56 *
Me@31 57 *Aug 18, 2010 -- Going to a separate MasterVP for each core, to see if this
Me@31 58 * avoids the suspected bug in the system stack that causes bizarre faults
Me@31 59 * at random places in the system code.
Me@31 60 *
Me@31 61 *So, this function is coupled to each of the MasterVPs, -- meaning this
Me@31 62 * function can't rely on a particular stack and frame -- each MasterVP that
Me@31 63 * animates this function has a different one.
Me@31 64 *
Me@31 65 *At this point, the masterLoop does not write itself into the queue anymore,
Me@31 66 * instead, the coreLoop acquires the masterLock when it has nothing to
Me@31 67 * animate, and then animates its own masterLoop. However, still try to put
Me@31 68 * several AppVPs into the queue to amortize the startup cost of switching
Me@31 69 * to the MasterVP. Note, don't have to worry about latency of requests much
Me@31 70 * because most requests generate work for same core -- only latency issue
Me@31 71 * is case when other cores starved and one core's requests generate work
Me@31 72 * for them -- so keep max in queue to 3 or 4..

Me@55 226 /*This algorithm makes the common case fast. Make the coreloop passive,
Me@55 227 * and show its progress. Make the stealer control a gate that coreloop
Me@55 228 * has to pass.
Me@55 229 *To avoid interference, only one stealer at a time. Use a global
Me@55 230 * stealer-lock.
Me@55 231 *
Me@55 232 *The pattern is based on a gate -- stealer shuts the gate, then monitors
Me@55 233 * to be sure any already past make it all the way out, before starting.
Me@55 234 *So, have a "progress" measure just before the gate, then have two after it,
Me@55 235 * one is in a "waiting room" outside the gate, the other is at the exit.
Me@55 236 *Then, the stealer first shuts the gate, then checks the progress measure
Me@55 237 * outside it, then looks to see if the progress measure at the exit is the
Me@55 238 * same. If yes, it knows the protected area is empty 'cause no other way
Me@55 239 * to get in and the last to get in also exited.
Me@55 240 *If the progress measure at the exit is not the same, then the stealer goes
Me@55 241 * into a loop checking both the waiting-area and the exit progress-measures
Me@55 242 * until one of them shows the same as the measure outside the gate. Might
Me@55 243 * as well re-read the measure outside the gate each go around, just to be
Me@55 244 * sure. It is guaranteed that one of the two will eventually match the one
Me@55 245 * outside the gate.
Me@55 246 *
Me@55 247 *Here's an informal proof of correctness:
Me@55 248 *The gate can be closed at any point, and have only four cases:
Me@55 249 * 1) coreloop made it past the gate-closing but not yet past the exit
Me@55 250 * 2) coreloop made it past the pre-gate progress update but not yet past
Me@55 251 * the gate,
Me@55 252 * 3) coreloop is right before the pre-gate update
Me@55 253 * 4) coreloop is past the exit and far from the pre-gate update.
Me@55 254 *
Me@55 255 * Covering the cases in reverse order,
Me@55 256 * 4) is not a problem -- stealer will read pre-gate progress, see that it
Me@55 257 * matches exit progress, and the gate is closed, so stealer can proceed.
Me@55 258 * 3) stealer will read pre-gate progress just after coreloop updates it..
Me@55 259 * so stealer goes into a loop until the coreloop causes wait-progress
Me@55 260 * to match pre-gate progress, so then stealer can proceed
Me@55 261 * 2) same as 3..
Me@55 262 * 1) stealer reads pre-gate progress, sees that it's different than exit,
Me@55 263 * so goes into loop until exit matches pre-gate, now it knows coreloop
Me@55 264 * is not in protected and cannot get back in, so can proceed.
Me@55 265 *
Me@55 266 *Implementation for the stealer:
Me@55 267 *
Me@55 268 *First, acquire the stealer lock -- only cores with no work to do will
Me@55 269 * compete to steal, so not a big performance penalty having only one --
Me@55 270 * will rarely have multiple stealers in a system with plenty of work -- and
Me@55 271 * in a system with little work, it doesn't matter.
Me@55 272 *
Me@55 273 *Note, have single-reader, single-writer pattern for all variables used to
Me@55 274 * communicate between stealer and victims
Me@55 275 *
Me@55 276 *So, scan the queues of the core loops, until find non-empty. Each core
Me@55 277 * has its own list that it scans. The list goes in order from closest to
Me@55 278 * furthest core, so it steals first from close cores. Later can add
Me@55 279 * taking info from the app about overlapping footprints, and scan all the
Me@55 280 * others then choose work with the most footprint overlap with the contents
Me@55 281 * of this core's cache.
Me@55 282 *
Me@55 283 *Now, have a victim want to take work from. So, shut the gate in that
Me@55 284 * coreloop, by setting the "gate closed" var on its stack to TRUE.
Me@55 285 *Then, read the core's pre-gate progress and compare to the core's exit
Me@55 286 * progress.
Me@55 287 *If same, can proceed to take work from the coreloop's queue. When done,
Me@55 288 * write FALSE to gate closed var.
Me@55 289 *If different, then enter a loop that reads the pre-gate progress, then
Me@55 290 * compares to exit progress then to wait progress. When one of two
Me@55 291 * matches, proceed. Take work from the coreloop's queue. When done,
Me@55 292 * write FALSE to the gate closed var.
