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.
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 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.
Instead of showing the "attached" state with the VH{aA} events, we show
when the call to nosv_attach() and nosv_detach() take place. The old
VH{aA} events are now ignored. Bumps the nOS-V model version to 1.1.0.
The test ensures that the generated documentation of emulation events is
kept up to date. To locate the events.md file, the source root path is
now exported to tests in OVNI_SOURCE_DIR.
The "Built on ..." message with the date of the build is removed as
otherwise it will always make the comparison fail.
Until now, the value returned by ovni_thread_isready() was still
non-zero when the thread stream was destroyed in ovni_thread_free()
This was making it impossible to detect when a stream was destroyed.
This change makes it return 0 after ovni_thread_free() by using a new
finished flag. The flag keeps track on then the stream is destroyed,
preventing double initialization of a free stream.
When running ovniver without LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, the loader couldn't
find any ovni installation and therefore was failing to start the
program. With this change we set the RUNPATH (not RPATH) of ovniver to
the installation libdir, so when no other libovni library is loaded via
LD_LIBRARY_PATH the one provided by the same source as ovniver is used.
The value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is also printed so we can determine where
it may be loading libovni. Using LD_DEBUG=libs will give more
information of the search process.

The experimental flag -a is used to ease the transition to the usage of
ovni_thread_require(), as it may be posible to have traces in which not
all libraries have requested their model. The flag causes all emulation
models to be enabled. This flag is considered experimental and it may be
removed or renamed in future versions.
The emulator will now check that all threads are properly finalyzed by
calling ovni_thread_free(), as required by the specification. For now
only a warning is issued, which is enough to determine the cause of
potential emulator panics.
The ovni model is now always enabled.
Allows programs to update to a new libovni library without breaking the
instrumentation. Only until the first call to ovni_thread_require() the
models are enabled on demand.
Until now, emulation models were always being registered via probe(),
which causes the emulator to initialize all the channels. To reduce the
overhead, the channels were not connected or registered in the bay
until the first event of that model was received. This delayed connect
was causing issues in muxes where the newly connected model required
refreshing the touched channels. Which in turn was causing unexpected
PRV events.
By determining which models we need to enable, we can remove the delayed
connect mechanism and just enable those models at initialization time,
and connect the channels.
When running without all the subsystem events enabled in nOS-V, it is
possible to emit two consecutive VTx events, which would push twice the
same value ST_TASK_BODY into the subsystem channel. This change relaxes
the subsystem channel to accept duplicate stacked values. A regression
test is also added.

In nOS-V, when a task was paused via the VTp event, two things were
happening: 1) the task state was set to pause and 2) the subsystem state
"Task: Running" was being popped.
This causes a problem when a task calls nosv_submit() in blocking mode,
as it will call nosv_pause() which will emit a VTp event from a
subsystem different than "Task: Running".
To solve this conflict, we handle the subsystems state and the task
state separately with the VTp and VTr events. The subsystem state "Task:
Running" no longer is connected to the state of the task and only shows
if we entered the body of the task or not. It has now been renamed to
"Task: In body".
The new state "Task: In body" represents that the task body has begun
the execution and is still in the stack, but the task may be paused. The
subsystem is not changed by the VTp (pause) or VTr (resume) events.

The check_clock_gate() was trying to access to the first event in all
streams. However, streams that are empty don't have any event, so they
cause a NULL dereference. Skipping not active streams avoids the
problem.
