25 /*This code is animated by the virtual Master processor.

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

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

237 /*This algorithm makes the common case fast. Make the coreloop passive,
238 * and show its progress. Make the stealer control a gate that coreloop
239 * has to pass.
240 *To avoid interference, only one stealer at a time. Use a global
241 * stealer-lock.
242 *
243 *The pattern is based on a gate -- stealer shuts the gate, then monitors
244 * to be sure any already past make it all the way out, before starting.
245 *So, have a "progress" measure just before the gate, then have two after it,
246 * one is in a "waiting room" outside the gate, the other is at the exit.
247 *Then, the stealer first shuts the gate, then checks the progress measure
248 * outside it, then looks to see if the progress measure at the exit is the
249 * same. If yes, it knows the protected area is empty 'cause no other way
250 * to get in and the last to get in also exited.
251 *If the progress measure at the exit is not the same, then the stealer goes
252 * into a loop checking both the waiting-area and the exit progress-measures
253 * until one of them shows the same as the measure outside the gate. Might
254 * as well re-read the measure outside the gate each go around, just to be
255 * sure. It is guaranteed that one of the two will eventually match the one
256 * outside the gate.
257 *
258 *Here's an informal proof of correctness:
259 *The gate can be closed at any point, and have only four cases:
260 * 1) coreloop made it past the gate-closing but not yet past the exit
261 * 2) coreloop made it past the pre-gate progress update but not yet past
262 * the gate,
263 * 3) coreloop is right before the pre-gate update
264 * 4) coreloop is past the exit and far from the pre-gate update.
265 *
266 * Covering the cases in reverse order,
267 * 4) is not a problem -- stealer will read pre-gate progress, see that it
268 * matches exit progress, and the gate is closed, so stealer can proceed.
269 * 3) stealer will read pre-gate progress just after coreloop updates it..
270 * so stealer goes into a loop until the coreloop causes wait-progress
271 * to match pre-gate progress, so then stealer can proceed
272 * 2) same as 3..
273 * 1) stealer reads pre-gate progress, sees that it's different than exit,
274 * so goes into loop until exit matches pre-gate, now it knows coreloop
275 * is not in protected and cannot get back in, so can proceed.
276 *
277 *Implementation for the stealer:
278 *
279 *First, acquire the stealer lock -- only cores with no work to do will
280 * compete to steal, so not a big performance penalty having only one --
281 * will rarely have multiple stealers in a system with plenty of work -- and
282 * in a system with little work, it doesn't matter.
283 *
284 *Note, have single-reader, single-writer pattern for all variables used to
285 * communicate between stealer and victims
286 *
287 *So, scan the queues of the core loops, until find non-empty. Each core
288 * has its own list that it scans. The list goes in order from closest to
289 * furthest core, so it steals first from close cores. Later can add
290 * taking info from the app about overlapping footprints, and scan all the
291 * others then choose work with the most footprint overlap with the contents
292 * of this core's cache.
293 *
294 *Now, have a victim want to take work from. So, shut the gate in that
295 * coreloop, by setting the "gate closed" var on its stack to TRUE.
296 *Then, read the core's pre-gate progress and compare to the core's exit
297 * progress.
298 *If same, can proceed to take work from the coreloop's queue. When done,
299 * write FALSE to gate closed var.
300 *If different, then enter a loop that reads the pre-gate progress, then
301 * compares to exit progress then to wait progress. When one of two
302 * matches, proceed. Take work from the coreloop's queue. When done,
303 * write FALSE to the gate closed var.
