The nosv.can_breakdown attribute states if enough events for the
breakdown model of nOS-V are enabled at runtime. It is used to ensure
that breakdown traces have the progress events enabled along with others
required for proper visualization of traces.
The emulator will panic when the level is not enough, instead of relying
on users to always remember to enable the correct level.
The ovni_attr_* set of functions allows users to write and read metadata
stores in the thread stream. The metadata information is available to
the emulator at the beginning of the emulation.
It will appear when the emulator knows that a thread is running in the
CPU, but no subsystem has been entered yet. This is common a
instrumentation level lower than 3 in nOS-V.
When a event causes a new value in the sort module, the first time it
will write all output values, which most of them will be zero. Writting
a zero value is forbidden by default, so we relax the constraint with
the PRV_ZERO flag.
In Mac OS, the top menu bar is placed above any window, causing the
timelines being opened at (0,0) appear under it in such a way that the
timeline title bar is not reachable by the mouse, making it hard to
move.
This simple solution opens the windows a bit away from the top left
corner, at (100,100).

Some threads may fail to enable the kernel instrumentation by reaching
the memory lock limit, causing the kernel instrumentation to be disabled
without any error in the emulation.
To prevent this situation, we run the test manually and check that there
are no warnings during the execution.
The test creates tasks that pause until the children task have finished.
The value of the perf_event_paranoid file is checked to determine if we
can run the test.
As Nanos6 now emits pause events for the parent task before nesting
another one, we increase the minor so the old emulator rejects new
traces that come with the new pause events.
A consistency check ensures that all versions reported by the emulator
appear in the documentation as the latest version. This prevents
forgetting updating the version in the documentation.
The runtime tests check that we can submit and inline task (which must
emit a pause event before the nested task begins) and that we can run
parallel tasks.
The nOS-V events are modified in two ways: 1) to create a parallel task
the new VTC event must be used and 2) all task events for both normal
(VTc) and parallel (VTC) tasks require an extra argument in the payload
to indicate the body id. As a consequence, the nOS-V model version is
now increased to 2.0.0.
Additionally, all the channel PRV flags are set to PRV_SKIPDUPNULL, so
duplicates are only emitted if they are not null. It solves the problem
when a task switches to another task with the same body id.
A new Paraver configuration is added for the body id.
The task model is now integrated with the body model. A normal task can
only have one body, while a parallel task can have more.
It inherits the restriction that a task body cannot be nested over
another one unless it is paused (or the relaxed nest model is enabled).
The new task body model (or just body model) allows a task to have
multiple bodies. Generally a body is mapped to the execution of the same
user code of the task with specific input arguments.
The body model can constraint if a given body can be paused or re-run
again (resurrect).
Additionally, the body model can run multiple nested bodies but with the
restriction that the parent body should be paused first. This condition
can be relaxed with the BODY_FLAG_RELAX_NESTING flag.
