Me@11 34 *Polls each sched slot exactly once, hands any requests made by a newly
Me@11 35 * done slave to the "request handler" plug-in function
Me@0 36 *
Me@11 37 *Any slots that need a virt procr assigned are given to the "schedule"
Me@11 38 * plug-in function, which tries to assign a virt procr (slave) to it.
Me@0 39 *
Me@11 40 *When all slots needing a processor have been given to the schedule plug-in,
Me@11 41 * a fraction of the procrs successfully scheduled are put into the
Me@11 42 * work queue, then a continuation of this function is put in, then the rest
Me@11 43 * of the virt procrs that were successfully scheduled.
Me@0 44 *
Me@11 45 *The first thing the continuation does is busy-wait until the previous
Me@11 46 * animation completes. This is because an (unlikely) continuation may
Me@11 47 * sneak through queue before previous continuation is done putting second
Me@11 48 * part of scheduled slaves in, which is the only race condition.

Me@4 52 /*May 29, 2010 -- birth a Master during init so that first core loop to
Me@11 53 * start running gets it and does all the stuff for a newly born --
Me@11 54 * from then on, will be doing continuation, but do suspension self
Me@4 55 * directly at end of master loop
Me@4 56 *So VMS__init just births the master virtual processor same way it births
Me@4 57 * all the others -- then does any extra setup needed and puts it into the
Me@4 58 * work queue.
Me@120 59 *However means have to make masterEnv a global static volatile.
Me@31 60 *
Me@31 61 *
Me@31 62 *Aug 18, 2010 -- Going to a separate MasterVP for each core, to see if this
Me@31 63 * avoids the suspected bug in the system stack that causes bizarre faults
Me@31 64 * at random places in the system code.
Me@31 65 *
Me@31 66 *So, this function is coupled to each of the MasterVPs, -- meaning this
Me@31 67 * function can't rely on a particular stack and frame -- each MasterVP that
Me@120 68 * animates this function has a different stack.
Me@31 69 *
Me@31 70 *At this point, the masterLoop does not write itself into the queue anymore,
Me@31 71 * instead, the coreLoop acquires the masterLock when it has nothing to
Me@31 72 * animate, and then animates its own masterLoop. However, still try to put
Me@31 73 * several AppVPs into the queue to amortize the startup cost of switching
Me@31 74 * to the MasterVP. Note, don't have to worry about latency of requests much
Me@31 75 * because most requests generate work for same core -- only latency issue
Me@31 76 * is case when other cores starved and one core's requests generate work
Me@31 77 * for them -- so keep max in queue to 3 or 4..

Me@119 277 /*Work Stealing alg -- protected one
Me@119 278 *This algorithm makes the common case fast. Make the coreloop passive,
Me@55 279 * and show its progress. Make the stealer control a gate that coreloop
Me@55 280 * has to pass.
Me@55 281 *To avoid interference, only one stealer at a time. Use a global
Me@55 282 * stealer-lock.
Me@55 283 *
Me@55 284 *The pattern is based on a gate -- stealer shuts the gate, then monitors
Me@55 285 * to be sure any already past make it all the way out, before starting.
Me@55 286 *So, have a "progress" measure just before the gate, then have two after it,
Me@55 287 * one is in a "waiting room" outside the gate, the other is at the exit.
Me@55 288 *Then, the stealer first shuts the gate, then checks the progress measure
Me@55 289 * outside it, then looks to see if the progress measure at the exit is the
Me@55 290 * same. If yes, it knows the protected area is empty 'cause no other way
Me@55 291 * to get in and the last to get in also exited.
Me@55 292 *If the progress measure at the exit is not the same, then the stealer goes
Me@55 293 * into a loop checking both the waiting-area and the exit progress-measures
Me@55 294 * until one of them shows the same as the measure outside the gate. Might
Me@55 295 * as well re-read the measure outside the gate each go around, just to be
Me@55 296 * sure. It is guaranteed that one of the two will eventually match the one
Me@55 297 * outside the gate.
Me@55 298 *
Me@55 299 *Here's an informal proof of correctness:
Me@55 300 *The gate can be closed at any point, and have only four cases:
Me@55 301 * 1) coreloop made it past the gate-closing but not yet past the exit
Me@55 302 * 2) coreloop made it past the pre-gate progress update but not yet past
Me@55 303 * the gate,
Me@55 304 * 3) coreloop is right before the pre-gate update
Me@55 305 * 4) coreloop is past the exit and far from the pre-gate update.
Me@55 306 *
Me@55 307 * Covering the cases in reverse order,
Me@55 308 * 4) is not a problem -- stealer will read pre-gate progress, see that it
Me@55 309 * matches exit progress, and the gate is closed, so stealer can proceed.
Me@55 310 * 3) stealer will read pre-gate progress just after coreloop updates it..
Me@55 311 * so stealer goes into a loop until the coreloop causes wait-progress
Me@55 312 * to match pre-gate progress, so then stealer can proceed
Me@55 313 * 2) same as 3..
Me@55 314 * 1) stealer reads pre-gate progress, sees that it's different than exit,
Me@55 315 * so goes into loop until exit matches pre-gate, now it knows coreloop
Me@55 316 * is not in protected and cannot get back in, so can proceed.
Me@55 317 *
Me@55 318 *Implementation for the stealer:
Me@55 319 *
Me@55 320 *First, acquire the stealer lock -- only cores with no work to do will
Me@55 321 * compete to steal, so not a big performance penalty having only one --
Me@55 322 * will rarely have multiple stealers in a system with plenty of work -- and
Me@55 323 * in a system with little work, it doesn't matter.
Me@55 324 *
Me@55 325 *Note, have single-reader, single-writer pattern for all variables used to
Me@55 326 * communicate between stealer and victims
Me@55 327 *
Me@55 328 *So, scan the queues of the core loops, until find non-empty. Each core
Me@55 329 * has its own list that it scans. The list goes in order from closest to
Me@55 330 * furthest core, so it steals first from close cores. Later can add
Me@55 331 * taking info from the app about overlapping footprints, and scan all the
Me@55 332 * others then choose work with the most footprint overlap with the contents
Me@55 333 * of this core's cache.
Me@55 334 *
Me@55 335 *Now, have a victim want to take work from. So, shut the gate in that
Me@55 336 * coreloop, by setting the "gate closed" var on its stack to TRUE.
Me@55 337 *Then, read the core's pre-gate progress and compare to the core's exit
Me@55 338 * progress.
Me@55 339 *If same, can proceed to take work from the coreloop's queue. When done,
Me@55 340 * write FALSE to gate closed var.
Me@55 341 *If different, then enter a loop that reads the pre-gate progress, then
Me@55 342 * compares to exit progress then to wait progress. When one of two
Me@55 343 * matches, proceed. Take work from the coreloop's queue. When done,
Me@55 344 * write FALSE to the gate closed var.
