The ring buffer pointers are no longer valid as we may have displaced
events around. The pointers of the affected region are reconstructed by
reading the events again, following their size.
When the width of size_t doesn't match the width of the unsigned long
long type, the number of leading zeros doesn't match, making the
heap_get_move() function return incorrect values. This is the case on
ARMv7 with 32 bits, where size_t is 32 bits but unsigned long long is 64
bits.
We check the size of size_t to select which builtin we need. The sizeof
operator cannot be used at preprocessing, so we rely on the
optimizations to only leave the proper assembly instruction.

In the thread view, the values will still be visible when the thread
goes to Warming or Cooling states, instead of being removed like when
the thread enters the Paused state. The CPU view will continue to track
the running thread (only in the Running state).
When using the mark API to track a counter, it is posible that the value
zero is being emitted as it will be properly displayed using the
gradient view in Paraver.
The marks are parsed from the metadata definition, then merged from all
threads and a new channel for each mark type is created. The channel
type is specified using a flag when calling ovni_mark_type(), so the
channels is set to single or stack. For now, only ovni_mark_push() and
ovni_mark_pop() are implemented.
In order to allow easy debugging of some programs and runtimes, it is
often neccessary to add extra information in the timeline views. The
modification of the emulator to accomodate those temporal events is time
consuming and requires knowlegde of the emulator internals.
To improve the situation, a new set of functions are added to libovni
which allow users to define their own views. Up to 100 types of events
can be declared, where each type can have an unlimited number ov values
with an optional label attached.
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.
