Subject: [PATCH 015/759] Fix scanning/walking for snc:

Record which segments are free and don't walk them (objects in these segments are dead).
If a buffered segment has a pending pop, don't scan or walk objects beyond the address that's going to be popped to (these objects are also dead).
Don't try to do a lightweight pop to an address that's not in the segment attached to the buffer -- the segment being popped to (and any other segments on the stack in between) are now dead, and the only way to mark them as being dead is to do a heavyweight pop.

Subject: [PATCH 019/759] Because of the requirement to make popped objects
 dead in a timely fashion, we can only implement lightweight pops to an
 address in the buffer.  in particular we can't support pending pops, which
 means that there's no need for the fields in the allocation point that
 support pending pops.

 Design
 ------
 
-_`.sol.stack.top`: Implementations find the top of the stack by
-taking the address of a local variable.
+_`.origin`: The design was originally proposed in

+
+_`.sol.entry-points`: To meet `.req.stack.entry`_, the mutator's
+registers and stack must be recorded when the mutator enters the MPS.
 
 _`.sol.registers`: Implementations spill the root registers onto the
 stack so that they can be scanned there.
@@ -66,57 +81,179 @@ been spilled onto the stack by the time the MPS is entered, so will be
 scanned by the stack scan. Floating-point registers and debugging
 registers do not, as far as we are aware, contain pointers.
 
-_`.sol.inner`: Having located the top of the stack (``stackTop``), and
-spilled the root registers into the next ``n`` words, implementations
-call the generic function ``StackScanInner(ss, stackBot, stackTop,
-n)`` to actually do the scanning.
+_`.sol.setjmp`: The C standard specifies that ``jmp_buf``
+"is an array type suitable for holding the information needed to
+restore a calling environment. The environment of a call to the
+``setjmp`` macro consists of information sufficient for a call to the
+``longjmp`` function to return execution to the correct block and
+invocation of that block, were it called recursively." This is what we
+need: the jump buffer needs to include the root registers in order to
+work as described. (A sufficiently perverse implementation could
+defeat this, but it works on all our supported platforms.)
+
+_`.sol.setjmp.scan`: An implementation can decode the jump
+buffer and scan just the root registers, or it can conservatively scan
+the whole of the jump buffer.
+
+_`.sol.stack.top`: Similarly, an implementation can decode the jump
+buffer and get the top of the mutator's stack from the stack pointer
+register, or it can conservatively use the address of a local variable
+in the entry point to the MPS.
+
+_`.sol.xc.alternative`: On OS X, we could use ``getcontext()`` from
+libunwind (see here_), but that produces deprecation warnings and
+introduces a dependency on that library.

+
+
+Analysis
+--------
+
+_`.anal.setjmp`: The C90 Standard says:
+
+    An invocation of the ``setjmp`` macro shall appear only in one of
+    the following contexts:
+
+    - the entire controlling expression of a selection or iteration
+      statement;
+
+    - one operand of a relational or equality operator with the other
+      operand an integral constant expression, with the resulting
+      expression being the entire controlling expression of a
+      selection or iteration statement;
+
+    - the operand of a unary ``!`` operator with the resulting
+      expression being the entire controlling expression of a
+      selection or iteration statement; or
+
+    - the entire expression of an expression statement (possibly cast
+      to ``void``).
+
+And C99 adds:
+
+    If the invocation appears in any other context, the behavior is
+    undefined.
+
+_`.anal.entry-points`: Here's a reverse call graph (in the master
+sources at changelevel 187410) showing which entry points might call
+``StackScan()`` and so need to record the stack context::
+
+    StackScan
+     └ThreadScan
+       └mps_stack_scan_ambig
+         └RootScan
+           └traceScanRootRes
+             └traceScanRoot
+               └rootFlip
+                 └traceFlip
+                   └TraceStart
+                     ├TracePoll
+                     │ ├ArenaStep
+                     │ │ └mps_arena_step
+                     │ └ArenaPoll
+                     │   ├mps_alloc
+                     │   ├mps_ap_fill
+                     │   ├mps_ap_fill_with_reservoir_permit
+                     │   ├mps_ap_alloc_pattern_end
+                     │   ├mps_ap_alloc_pattern_reset
+                     │   └ArenaRelease
+                     │     ├mps_arena_release
+                     │     └ArenaStartCollect
+                     │       ├mps_arena_start_collect
+                     │       └ArenaCollect
+                     │         └mps_arena_collect
+                     └TraceStartCollectAll
+                       ├ArenaStep ⤴
+                       ├ArenaStartCollect ⤴
+                       └TracePoll ⤴
+
+So the entry points that need to save the stack context are
+``mps_arena_step()``, ``mps_alloc()``, ``mps_ap_fill()``,
+``mps_ap_fill_with_reservoir_permit()``,
+``mps_ap_alloc_pattern_end()``, ``mps_ap_alloc_pattern_reset()``,
+``mps_arena_release()``, ``mps_arena_start_collect()``, and
+``mps_arena_collect()``.
 
 
 Interface
 ---------
 
+``typedef StackContextStruct *StackContext``
+
+_`.if.sc`: A structure encapsulating the mutator context.
+
+``Addr StackContextStackTop(StackContext sc)``
+
+_`.if.stack.top`: Return (a conservative approximation to) the address
+of the "top" of the mutator's stack at the point where ``sc`` was
+stored. In the common case, where the stack grows downwards, this is
+actually the lowest stack address.
+
 ``Res StackScan(ScanState ss, Addr *stackBot)``
 
-_`.if.scan`: Scan the root registers of the current thread, and the
-control stack between ``stackBot`` and the top of the stack, in the
-context of the given scan state. Return ``ResOK`` if successful, or
-another result code if not.
+_`.if.scan`: Scan the stack between ``stackBot`` and the "top" of the
+mutator's stack that was recorded by ``STACK_CONTEXT_BEGIN()`` when
+the arena was entered. Also scan any roots which were in the mutator's
+callee-save registers at that point. Return ``ResOK`` if successful,
+or another result code if not.
 
+``STACK_CONTEXT_SAVE(StackContext sc)``
 
-Issue
------
+_`.if.save`: Store the mutator context in the structure ``sc``.
 
-_`.issue.overscan`: This design leads to over-scanning, because by the
-time ``StackScan()`` is called, there are several MPS functions on the
-stack. The scan thus ends up scanning references that belong the MPS,
-not to the mutator. See job003525_.
+_`.if.save.macro`: This must be implemented as a macro because it
+needs to run in the stack frame of the entry point (if it runs in some
+other function it does not necessarily get the mutator's registers).
+This necessity to have the definition in scope in ``mpsi.c``, while
+also having different definitions on different platforms, requires a
+violation of design.mps.config.no-spaghetti_.
 
-.. _job003525: http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/issue/job003525/
+.. _design.mps.config.no-spaghetti: config#no-spaghetti
+
+``STACK_CONTEXT_BEGIN(Arena arena)``
+
+_`.if.begin`: Start an MPS operation that needs to know the mutator
+context. This macro must be used like this::
+
+    Res res;
+    STACK_CONTEXT_BEGIN(arena) {
+      res = ArenaStartCollect(arena);
+    } STACK_CONTEXT_END(arena);
+    return res;
+
+That is, it must be paired with ``STACK_CONTEXT_END()``, and there
+must be no ``return`` between the two macro invocations.
+
+This macro takes the arena lock, stores the mutator context in a
+``StackContext`` structure allocated on the stack, and sets
+``arena->stackAtArenaEnter`` to the address of the top of the
+mutator's stack.
+
+``STACK_CONTEXT_END(Arena arena)``
+
+_`.if.end`: Finish the MPS operation that was started by ``STACK_CONTEXT_BEGIN()``.
+
+This macro sets ``arena->stackAtArenaEnter`` to ``NULL`` and releases
+the arena lock.
 
 
 Implementations
 ---------------
 
-_`.impl.an`: Generic implementation in ``ssan.c``. This calls
-``setjmp()`` with a stack-allocated ``jmp_buf`` to spill the registers
-onto the stack. The C standard specifies that ``jmp_buf`` "is an array
-type suitable for holding the information needed to restore a calling
-environment. The environment of a call to the ``setjmp`` macro
-consists of information sufficient for a call to the ``longjmp``
-function to return execution to the correct block and invocation of
-that block, were it called recursively." Note that the C standard does
-not specify where the callee-save registers appear in the ``jmp_buf``,
-so the whole buffer must be scanned.
-
-_`.impl.ix`: Unix implementation in ``ssixi3.c`` and ``ssixi6.c``.
-Assembler instructions are used to spill exactly the callee-save
-registers. (Clang and GCC support a common assembler syntax.)
+_`.impl.an`: Generic implementation in ``ssan.c``. Since the C
+standard does not specify where the callee-save registers appear in
+the jump buffer, the whole buffer must be scanned, and the top of the
+stack must be taken conservatively from a local variable.
 
 _`.impl.w3`: Windows implementation in ``ssw3i3mv.c`` and
-``ssw3i6mv.c``. Like `.impl.an`_, this implementation uses
-``setjmp()`` with a stack-allocated ``jmp_buf`` to spill the registers
-onto the stack. However, we know the layout of the ``jmp_buf`` used by
-the compiler, and so can scan exactly the subset of registers we need.
+``ssw3i6mv.c``. We know the layout of the jump buffer used by the
+compiler, and so can scan exactly the subset of registers we need, and
+decode the stack pointer from ESP (on IA-32) or RSP (on x86-64).
+
+_`.impl.xc`: OS X implementation in ``ssxci3.c`` and ``ssxci6.c``.
+Scans the jump buffer conservatively as for `.impl.an`_, but decodes
+the stack pointer from ESP (on IA-32) or RSP (on x86-64).

Subject: [PATCH 047/759] New macro arenachunkring encapsulates getting the
 chunk ring for an arena.

RingLength now returns Count, not Size.
New test case checks that chunks are added and removed from the arena as memory is allocated and freed.

Subject: [PATCH 056/759] Separate the values "more work to do?" and "amount of
 work done" in tracepoll. previously, the code used "amount of work done > 0"
 when it needed "more work to do?" but that's not right, because on the last
 two calls to traceadvance, no "work" is done (because reclaim work is not
 measured), but there may still be more work to do.

+Bootstrapping

+
+:Tag: design.mps.bootstrap

+:Date: 2015-09-01
+:Status: incomplete design
+:Revision: $Id$
+:Copyright: See section `Copyright and License`_.
+:Index terms: pair: bootsrap; design
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+_`.intro`: This explains how the MPS gets started.
+
+_`.readership`: Any MPS developer.
+
+_`.overview`: The job of the MPS is to allocate memory to a program.
+Before it can allocate memory, the MPS needs to create data structures
+to represent its internal state. But before it can create those data
+structures, it needs to allocate memory to store them in. This
+bootstrapping problem affects the MPS at several points, which are
+listed here, together with their solutions.
+
+
+Bootstrapping problems
+----------------------
+
+Virtual memory descriptor
+.........................
+
+_`.vm`: Before address space can be mapped into main memory, the
+virtual memory descriptor must be initialized. But before the virtual
+memory descriptor can be initialized, some address space must be
+mapped into main memory in order to store it. See
+`design.vm.req.bootstrap`_.
+
+_`.vm.sol`: The virtual memory descriptor is allocated initially on
+the stack, and then copied into its place in the chunk after the
+memory for it has been mapped. See `design.vm.sol.bootstrap`_.
+
+.. _design.vm.req.bootstrap: vm#req.bootstrap
+.. _design.vm.sol.bootstrap: vm#sol.bootstrap
+
+
+Arena descriptor
+................
+
+_`.arena`: Before chunks of address space can be reserved and mapped,
+the virtual memory arena descriptor must be initialized (so that the
+chunks can be added to the arena's chunk tree). But before a virtual
+memory arena descriptor can be initialized, address space must be
+reserved and mapped in order to store it.
+
+_`.arena.sol`: A small amount of address space is reserved and mapped
+directly via ``VMInit()`` and ``VMMap()`` (not via the chunk system)
+in order to provide enough memory for the arena descriptor.
+
+
+Arena's free land
+.................
+
+_`.land`: Before the arena can allocate memory, a range of addresses
+must be inserted into the arena's free land (so that the free land can
+hand out memory from this range). But before addresses can be inserted
+into the arena's free land, the arena must be able to allocate memory
+(to store the nodes in the tree representing those addresses).
+
+_`.land.sol`: The arena has two "back door" mechanisms and uses them
+in combination. First, there is a mechanism for allocating a block of
+memory directly from a chunk, bypassing the free land; second, the MFS
+pool class has a mechanism for extending it with a block of memory.

- *  This scans the stack and fixes the registers which may contain
- *  roots.  See <design/thread-manager/>
- *
- *  This code was originally developed and tested on Linux, and then
- *  copied to the FreeBSD and Darwin (OS X) operating systems where it
- *  also seems to work.  Note that on FreeBSD and Darwin it has not
- *  been indepently verified with respect to any ABI documentation.
- *
- *  This code is common to more than one Unix implementation on
- *  Intel hardware (but is not portable Unix code).
- *
- *  The registers edi, esi, ebx are the registers defined to be preserved
- *  across function calls and therefore may contain roots.
- *  These are pushed on the stack for scanning.

 Implementations
 ---------------
 
-_`.impl.an`: Generic implementation in ``ssan.c``. Since the C
-standard does not specify where the callee-save registers appear in
-the jump buffer, the whole buffer must be scanned (see
-`.sol.setjmp.scan`_), and the top of the stack must be taken
-conservatively from a local variable.
-
-_`.impl.w3`: Windows implementation in ``ssw3i3mv.c`` and
-``ssw3i6mv.c``. We know the layout of the jump buffer used by the
-compiler, and so can scan exactly the subset of registers we need, and
-decode the stack pointer from ESP (on IA-32) or RSP (on x86-64).
-
-_`.impl.w3.i3`: On Windows on IA-32, the callee-save registers are
-EBX, ESI, EDI, and EBP. See [Fog]_.
-
-_`.impl.w3.i6`: On Windows on x86-64, the callee-save registers are
-RBX, RBP, RDI, RSI, R12, R13, R14, and R15. See
-[x86_64_registers]_. In theory the lowest 128 bits of the vector
-registers XMM6 to XMM15 are also callee-save, but we assume that
-references do not appear in these registers.
-
-_`.impl.xc`: OS X implementation in ``ssxci3.c`` and ``ssxci6.c``.
-Scans the jump buffer conservatively as for `.impl.an`_, but decodes
-the stack pointer from ESP (on IA-32) or RSP (on x86-64).
-
-_`.impl.xc.i3`: On OS X on IA-32, the callee-save registers are EBX,
-ESI, EDI and EBP. See [Fog]_.
-
-_`.impl.xc.i6`: On OS X on x86-64, the callee-save registers are RBX,
-RBP, R12, R13, R14, and R15. See [Fog]_.
+_`.impl`: Generic implementation in ``ss.c``. We scan the whole
+jump buffer and use the address of the buffer as a marker of the hot
+end of the mutator's stack, since it is declared in the entry
+function.  A sufficiently perverse compiler might still store
+callee-save registers outside the scanned area (see
+.sol.setjmp.scramble).

Subject: [PATCH 085/759] Storing the pointer to the stack frame where setjmp
 was invoked, rather than the address of the jump buffer, as the hot end of
 the mutator state, because callee-save registered might be stored on either
 side of the jump buffer by the compiler.

Removing the unnecessary assumption that the stack ends are word-aligned.

-``arena->scAtArenaEnter`` to the address of this structure.
+This macro stores the mutator context in a ``StackContext`` structure
+allocated on the stack, and sets ``arena->stackWarm`` to the hot end
+of the current frame (using .sol.stack.hot).
 
 ``STACK_CONTEXT_END(Arena arena)``
 
 _`.if.end`: Finish the MPS operation that was started by
 ``STACK_CONTEXT_BEGIN()``.
 
-This macro sets ``arena->scAtArenaEnter`` to ``NULL`` and releases
-the arena lock.
+This macro sets ``arena->stackWarn`` to ``NULL``.
 
 
 Implementations
 ---------------
 
-_`.impl`: Generic implementation in ``ss.c``. We scan the whole
-jump buffer and use the address of the buffer as a marker of the hot
-end of the mutator's stack, since it is declared in the entry
-function.  A sufficiently perverse compiler might still store
-callee-save registers outside the scanned area (see
-.sol.setjmp.scramble).
+_`.impl`: Generic implementation of ``StackScan`` in ``ss.c`` scans
+the whole area between ``arena->stackWarm`` and the cold end of the
+mutator's stack, implementing .sol.stack.nest and also the backup
+strategy in .sol.entry-points.fragile.

-:Index terms:
-   pair: Digital Unix on Alpha stack scanner; design
-   pair: Digital Unix on Alpha; stack scanner design

-Introduction
-------------
-
-_`.readership`: Any MPS developer.
-
-_`.intro`: This is the design for Stack Scanner module that runs on
-Digital UNIX / Alpha systems (See os.o1 and arch.al). The design
-adheres to the general design and interface described (probably not
-described actually) in design.mps.stack-scan.
-
-_`.source.alpha`: book.digital96 (Alpha Architecture Handbook)
-describes the Alpha Architecture independently of any particular
-implementation. The instruction mnemonics and the semantics for each
-instruction are specified in that document.
-
-[DEC_Assembler]_ describes the assembler syntax and assembler
-directives. It also summarises the calling conventions used. Chapters
-1 and 6 were especially useful, especially chapter 6.
-
-[DEC_Alpha_Calling_Standard]_ describes the calling conventions used
-for Digital Alpha systems. Chapter 2 was useful. But the whole
-document was not used as much as the previous 2 documents.

-Definitions
------------
-
-_`.def.saved`: Saved Register.  A saved register is one whose value is defined to 
-be preserved across a procedure call according to the Calling Standard.  They 
-are ``$9``--``$15``, ``$26``, and ``$30``.  ``$30`` is the stack pointer.
-
-_`.def.non-saved`: Non-Saved Register. A non-save register is a
-register that is assumed to be modified across a procedure call
-according to the Calling Standard.
-
-_`.def.tos`: Top of Stack. The top of stack is the youngest portion of
-the stack.
-
-_`.def.bos`: Bottom of Stack. The bottom of stack is the oldest
-portion of the stack.
-
-_`.def.base`: Base. Of a range of addresses, the base is the lowest
-address in the range.
-
-_`.def.limit`: Limit. Of a range of addresses, the limit is "one past"
-the highest address in the range.
-
-
-Overview
---------
-
-_`.overview`: The registers and the stack need to be scanned. This is
-achieved by storing the contents of the registers into a frame at the
-top of the stack and then passing the base and limit of the stack
-region, including the newly created frame, to the function
-``TraceScanAreaTagged()``. ``TraceScanAreaTagged()`` performs the
-actual scanning and fixing.
-
-
-Detail Design
--------------
-
-Functions
-.........
-
-_`.fun.stackscan`: ``StackScan()``
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.asm`: The function is written in assembler.
-_`.fun.stackscan.asm.justify`: This is because the machine registers
-need to be examined, and it is only possible to access the machine
-registers using assembler.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.entry`: On entry to this procedure all the non-saved
-(temporary) registers that contain live pointers must have been saved
-in some root (usually the stack) by the mutator (otherwise it would
-lose the values). Therefore only the saved registers need to be stored
-by this procedure.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.assume.saved`: We assume that all the saved registers
-are roots. This is conservative since some of the saved registers
-might not be used.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.frame`: A frame is be created on the top of the
-stack. _`.fun.stackscan.frame.justify`: This frame is used to store
-the saved registers into so that they can be scanned.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.save`: All the saved registers, apart from $30 the
-stack pointer, are to be stored in the frame.
-_`.fun.stackscan.save.justify`: This is so that they can be scanned.
-The stack pointer itself is not scanned as the stack is assumed to be
-a root (and therefore a priori alive).
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.call`: ``TraceScanAreaTagged()`` is called with the
-current stack pointer as the base and the (passed in) ``StackBot`` as
-the limit of the region to be scanned. _`.fun.stackscan.call.justify`:
-This function does the actual scanning. The Stack on Alpha systems
-grows down so the stack pointer (which points to the top of the stack)
-is lower in memory than the bottom of the stack.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.return`: The return value from
-``TraceScanAreaTagged()`` is used as the return value for
-``StackScan()``.

Subject: [PATCH 115/759] Speed up mmqa test cases by reducing iterations.
 additionally:

* Take test options as parameters=.
* Rename BLAH to VERBOSE.
* Clearer reporting of slotHigh, arenaHigh, firstFit options to MVFF.
* Report times in seconds (not centiseconds).
* Reduce the commit limit exponentially and stop when too small.
* Ramp entering/leaving probabilities are scaled by iterations.

+
+    ``arena`` is the arena.
+
+    ``pause_time`` is the new maximum pause time, in seconds. It must
+    be non-negative.
+
+    The pause time may be set to zero, in which case the MPS returns
+    as soon as it can do so. The consequence is that the MPS will need
+    to take more slices of time in order to make :term:`garbage
+    collection` progress. This value is suitable for interactive
+    applications where latency needs to be minimized, but where there
+    is plenty of CPU time available.
+
+    The pause time may be set to infinity, in which case the MPS
+    completes all outstanding :term:`garbage collection` work before
+    returning from an operation. The consequence is that the MPS will
+    be able to save on the overheads due to :term:`incremental
+    collection`, leading to lower total time spent in collection. This
+    value is suitable for non-interactive applications where total
+    time is important.
+
+    The MPS makes a best effort to return to the :term:`client
+    program` from any operation on the arena within the maximum pause
+    time, but does not guarantee to do so. This is for three reasons:
+
+    1. many operations in the MPS necessarily take some minimum amount
+       time that's logarithmic in the amount of :term:`memory (2)`
+       being managed (so if you set the maximum pause time to zero,
+       then every operation will exceed it);
+
+    2. some operations in the MPS call functions in the :term:`client
+       program` (for example, the :term:`format methods`), and the MPS
+       has no control over how long these functions take;
+
+    3. none of the operating systems supported by the MPS provide
+       real-time guarantees (for example, the process may have to wait
+       for :term:`memory (2)` to be :term:`paged in`).

Subject: [PATCH 131/759] Regular testing of mmqa: "make test-make-build" at
 top level now runs mmqa, hence so does "make test" on linux and freebsd. the
 whole test suite, including testci, testmmqa, testansi, and testpollnone,
 takes 26 minutes on my laptop.

MMQA "run" and "runset" commands now exit with non-zero status if any of the tests failed, so that test failures can be identifed by the calling program (for example, make).
Add missing license to files that state "See end of file for license."

Subject: [PATCH 134/759] Avoid warnings when compiling argerr/{146,147,148}.c
 with gcc.

Test cases conerr/{53,54}.c rely on junk in uninitialized local variables, so ensure that there is some.
Test case function/72.c relies on an object moving, but it might be pinned by an ambiguous reference from the stack, so don't register the stack as a root.

-The low-memory reservoir
-========================
-
-:Tag: design.mps.reservoir
-:Author: Tony Mann
-:Date: 1998-07-30
-:Status: incomplete design
-:Revision: $Id$
-:Copyright: See `Copyright and License`_.
-:Index terms:   pair: reservoir; design
-
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-_`.intro`: The low-memory reservoir provides client support for
-implementing handlers for low-memory situations which allocate. The
-reservoir is implemented inside the arena as a pool of unallocatable
-segments.
-
-
-Architecture
-------------
-
-``typedef struct ReservoirStruct *Reservoir``
-
-_`.adt`: The reservoir interface looks (almost) like an abstract data
-type of type ``Reservoir``. It's not quite abstract because the arena
-embeds the structure of the reservoir (of type ``ReservoirStruct``)
-into its own structure, for simplicity of initialization.
-
-_`.align`: The reservoir is implemented as a pool of available tracts,
-along with a size and limit which must always be aligned to the arena
-alignment. The size corresponds to the amount of memory currently
-maintained in the reservoir. The limit is the maximum amount that it
-is desired to maintain.
-
-_`.wastage`: When the reservoir limit is set by the client, the actual
-limit should be increased by one arena grain for every active mutator
-buffer.
-
-_`.really-empty`: When the reservoir limit is set to 0, assume that
-the client really doesn't have a need for a reservoir at all. In this
-case, the client won't even want an allowance to be made for wastage
-in active buffers.
-
-
-Implementation
---------------
-
-_`.interface`: The following functions comprise the interface to the
-reservoir module:
-
-``Bool ReservoirCheck(Reservoir reservoir)``
-
-_`.interface.check`: ``ReservoirCheck()`` checks the reservoir for
-consistency.
-
-``Res ReservoirInit(Reservoir reservoir, Arena arena)``
-
-_`.interface.init`: ``ReservoirInit()`` initializes the reservoir and
-its associated pool, setting the size and limit to 0.
-
-``void ReservoirFinish (Reservoir reservoir)``
-
-_`.interface.finish`: ``ReservoirFinish()`` de-initializes the reservoir
-and its associated pool:
-
-``Size ReservoirLimit(Reservoir reservoir)``
-
-_`.interface.limit`: ``ReservoirLimit()`` returns the limit of the
-reservoir:
-
-``void ReservoirSetLimit(Reservoir reservoir, Size size)``
-
-_`.interface.set-limit`: ``ReservoirSetLimit()`` sets the limit of the
-reservoir, making an allowance for wastage in mutator buffers:
-
-``Size ReservoirAvailable(Reservoir reservoir)``
-
-_`.interface.available`: ``ReservoirAvailable()`` returns the available
-size of the reservoir:
-
-``Res ReservoirEnsureFull(Reservoir reservoir)``
-
-_`.interface.ensure-full`: ``ReservoirEnsureFull()`` attempts to fill
-the reservoir with memory from the arena, until it is full:
-
-``void ReservoirDeposit(Reservoir reservoir, Addr base, Size size)``
-
-_`.interface.deposit`: ``ReservoirDeposit()`` attempts to fill the
-reservoir with memory in the supplied range, until it is full. This is
-called by the arena from ``ArenaFree()`` if the reservoir is not known
-to be full. Any memory which is not added to the reservoir (because
-the reservoir is full) is freed via the arena class's free method.
-
-``Res ReservoirWithdraw(Addr *baseReturn, Tract *baseTractReturn, Reservoir reservoir, Size size, Pool pool)``
-
-_`.interface.withdraw`: ``ReservoirWithdraw()`` attempts to allocate
-memory of the specified size to the specified pool to the reservoir.
-If no suitable memory can be found it returns ``ResMEMORY``.
-
-_`.interface.withdraw.align`: Currently, ``ReservoirWithdraw()`` can
-only withdraw a single arena grain at a time. This is because the
-reservoir doesn't attempt to coalesce adjacent memory blocks. This
-deficiency should be fixed in the future.
-
-_`.pool`: The memory managed by the reservoir is owned by the
-reservoir pool. This memory is never sub-allocated. Each tract
-belonging to the pool is linked onto a list. The head of the list is
-in the ``Reservoir`` object. Links are stored in the ``TractP`` fields
-of each tract object.

-/* tableHash -- return a hash value from an address
- *
- * This uses a single cycle of an MLCG, more commonly seen as a 
- * pseudorandom number generator.  It works extremely well as a 
- * hash function.
- *
- * (In particular, it is substantially better than simply doing this:
- *   seed = (unsigned long)addr * 48271;
- * Tested by RHSK 2010-12-28.)
- *
- * This MLCG is a full period generator: it cycles through every 
- * number from 1 to m-1 before repeating.  Therefore, no two numbers 
- * in that range hash to the same value.  Furthermore, it has prime 
- * modulus, which tends to avoid recurring patterns in the low-order 
- * bits, which is good because the hash will be used modulus the 
- * number of slots in the table.
- *
- * Of course it's only a 31-bit cycle, so we start by losing the top 
- * bit of the address, but that's hardly a great problem.
- *
- * See `rnd` in testlib.c for more technical details.
- *
- * The implementation is quite subtle.  See rnd() in testlib.c, where 
- * it has been exhaustively (ie: totally) tested.  RHSK 2010-12-28.
- *
- * NOTE: According to NB, still a fine function for producing a 31-bit hash
- * value, although of course it only hashes on the lower 31 bits of the
- * key; we could cheaply make it choose a different 31 bits if we'd prefer
- * (e.g. ((key >> 2) & 0x7FFFFFFF)), or combine more of the key bits (e.g.
- * ((key ^ (key >> 31)) & 0x7fffffff)).

+MFS operates in a very simple manner: each extent allocated from the
+arena is divided into units.  Free units are kept on a linked list
+using a header stored in the unit itself.  The linked list is not
+ordered; allocation and deallocation simply pop and push from the head
+of the list.  This is fast, but successive allocations might have poor
+locality if previous successive frees did.
+
+The list of extents belonging to the pool is maintained as a ring with
+a node at the start of each extent.
+
+Storing the linked list of free nodes and the extent ring node in the
+managed memory is against the general principle of the MPS design,
+which keeps its management structures away from client memory.
+However, the MFS pool is used during the bootstrapping process (see
+design.mps.bootstrap) and so has no other memory pools available for
+storage.

+re-protection, maintaining a cache reasons that a segment no longer
+had a reason to be collector-accessible.  Presence in the cache counts
+as a reason: segments in the cache have ``seg->depth`` increased by
+one. As segments get pushed out of the cache, or at ``ShieldLeave()``,
+this artificial reason is decremented from ``seg->depth``, and (if
+``seg->depth`` is now zero) the deferred reinstatement of hardware
+protection happens.
+
+This hysteresis allows the MPS to proceed with garbage collection
+during a pause without actually setting hardware protection until it
+returns to the mutator.  If a complete collection cycle occurs during
+one pause (a non-incremental collection), no system calls will be
+needed for collection barriers.  This is particularly important on
+operating systems where the protection is expensive and poorly
+implemented, such as OS X.
 
 So whenever hardware protection is temporarily removed to allow
 collector access, there is a *nurse* that will ensure this protection
 is re-established: the nurse is either the balancing ``ShieldCover()``
 call in collector code, or an entry in the shield cache.
 
-.. note::
-
-    1. Why is there a fixed-size cache? This is not the simple
-       approach! All we need is a chain of segs that might need their
-       hardware protection to be sync'd with their shield mode. Head
-       in the shield, and one pointer in each seg struct. I guess we
-       try hard to avoid bloating ``SegStruct`` (to maintain residency
-       in the processor cache). But is 16 the right size? A cache-miss
-       wastes two kernel calls.
-
-    2. I don't like the cache code. For example, why does
-       ``ShieldFlush()`` break out early if ``arena->shDepth`` is 0?
-       This should never happen until the cache is completely flushed,
-       that is, we have reached ``shCacheLimit``. Why does
-       ``ShieldFlush()`` not reset ``shCacheLimit``? Why does
-       ``flush()`` silently accept ``NULL`` cache entries?
-
-    3. Why is ``seg->depth`` never checked for overflow? It is only a
-       4-bit-wide bit field, currently.

- * This implementation of the shield avoids suspending threads for
- * as long as possible.  When threads are suspended, it maintains a
- * cache of covered segments where the desired and actual protection
- * do not match.  This cache is flushed on leaving the shield.
- *
- *
- * Definitions
- *
- * .def.synced: a seg is synced if the prot and shield modes are the
- * same, and unsynced otherwise.
- * .def.depth: the depth of a segment is defined as
- *   depth == #exposes - #covers + #(in cache),  where
- *     #exposes = the total number of times the seg has been exposed
- *     #covers  = the total number of times the seg has been covered
- *     #(in cache) = the number of times the seg appears in the cache
- *   The cache is initially empty and Cover should not be called
- *   without a matching Expose, so this figure should always be
- *   non-negative.
- * .def.total.depth: The total depth is the sum of the depth over
- * all segments
- * .def.outside: being outside the shield is being between calls
- * to leave and enter, and similarly .def.inside: being inside the
- * shield is being between calls to enter and leave.
- * .def.suspended: suspended is true iff the mutator is suspended.
- * .def.shielded: a segment is shielded if the shield mode is non-zero.
- *
- *
- * Properties
- *
- * .prop.outside.running: The mutator may not be suspended while
- * outside the shield.
- * .prop.mutator.access: An attempt by the mutator to access
- * shielded memory must cause an ArenaAccess.
- * .prop.inside.access: Inside the shield it must be possible to access
- * all unshielded segments and all exposed segments.
- *
- *
- * Invariants
- *
- * These invariants are maintained by the code.
- *
- * .inv.outside.running: The mutator is not suspended while outside the
- * shield.
- * .inv.unsynced.suspended: If any segment is not synced,
- * the mutator is suspended.
- * .inv.unsynced.depth: All unsynced segments have positive depth.
- * .inv.outside.depth: The total depth is zero while outside the shield.
- * .inv.prot.shield: The prot mode is never more than the shield mode.
- * .inv.expose.prot: An exposed seg is not protected.
- *
- * Hints at proofs of properties from invariants
- *
- * inv.outside.running directly ensures prop.outside running.
- *
- * As the depth of a segment cannot be negative
- *   total depth == 0 => for all segments, depth == 0
- *                    => all segs are synced (by .inv.unsynced.depth)
- *
- * If the mutator is running then all segs must be synced
- * (.inv.unsynced.suspend).  Which means that the hardware protection
- * (prot mode) must reflect the software protection (shield mode).
- * Hence all shielded memory will be hardware protected while the
- * mutator is running.  This ensures .prop.mutator.access.
- *
- * inv.prot.shield and inv.expose.prot ensure prop.inside.access.

+Implementation
+--------------
+
+.impl.delay: The implementation of the shield avoids suspending
+threads for as long as possible.  When threads are suspended, it
+maintains a cache of covered segments where the desired and actual
+protection do not match.  This cache is flushed on leaving the shield.
+
+
+Definitions
+...........
+
+.def.synced: A seg is synced if the prot and shield modes are the
+same, and unsynced otherwise.
+
+.def.depth: The depth of a segment is defined as:
+
+  | depth ≔ #exposes − #covers + #(in cache),  where
+  |    #exposes = the total number of times the seg has been exposed
+  |    #covers  = the total number of times the seg has been covered
+  |    #(in cache) = the number of times the seg appears in the cache
+
+The cache is initially empty and Cover should not be called without a
+matching Expose, so this figure should always be non-negative.
+
+.def.total.depth: The total depth is the sum of the depth over
+all segments.
+
+.def.outside: Being outside the shield is being between calls to leave
+and enter, and similarly .def.inside: being inside the shield is being
+between calls to enter and leave.
+
+.def.suspended: Suspended is true iff the mutator is suspended.

+the shield.
+
+.prop.mutator.access: An attempt by the mutator to access shielded
+memory must cause an ArenaAccess.
+
+.prop.inside.access: Inside the shield it must be possible to access

+
+.inv.unsynced.depth: All unsynced segments have positive depth.
+
+.inv.outside.depth: The total depth is zero while outside the shield.
+
+.inv.prot.shield: The prot mode is never more than the shield mode.
+
+.inv.expose.prot: An exposed seg is not protected.
+
+
+Proof Hints
+...........
+
+Hints at proofs of properties from invariants.
+
+.proof.outside: .inv.outside.running directly ensures .prop.outside
+running.
+
+.proof.sync: As the depth of a segment cannot be negative
+
+  | total depth = 0
+  |   ⇒ for all segments, depth = 0
+  |   ⇒ all segs are synced (by .inv.unsynced.depth)
+
+.proof.access: If the mutator is running then all segs must be synced
+(.inv.unsynced.suspend).  Which means that the hardware protection
+(.prot mode) must reflect the software protection (shield mode).
+Hence all shielded memory will be hardware protected while the mutator
+is running.  This ensures .prop.mutator.access.

+.proof.inside: .inv.prot.shield and .inv.expose.prot ensure
+.prop.inside.access.

+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+.intro: This document explains the design of the write barrer of the
+Memory Pool System (MPS).
+
+.readership: This document is intended for developers of the MPS.
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+.overview: The MPS uses a combination of hardware memory protection
+and BIBOP techniques to maintain an approximate remembered set.  The
+remembered set keeps track of areas of memory that refer to each
+other, so that the MPS can avoid scanning areas that are irrelevant
+during a garbage collection.  The MPS write barrier is implemented by
+a one-word "summary" of the zones referenced by a segment.  That
+summary can be compared with the "white set" of a trace by a simple
+logical AND operation.
+
+[At this point I was interrupted by a man from Porlock.]
+
+
+Write barrier deferral
+----------------------
+
+.deferral: The overheads hardware barriers varies widely between
+operating systems.  On Windows it is very cheap to change memory
+protection and to handle protecion faults.  On OS X it is very
+expensive.  The balance between barriers and scanning work is
+different.  There is no point in spending 1000 CPU units raising a
+write barrier to avoid 10 CPU units of scanning cost.
+
+The MPS balances these costs with write barrier deferral.  The write
+barrier is not immediately raised when a segment is scanned.  Instead,
+we store a deferral count with the segment.  Each time the segment is
+"boring" scanned the count is decremented.  A boring scan is one that
+found no interesting references (to white objects).  The write barrier
+is raised only when the count reaches zero.  The count is reset after
+three events:
+
+1. segment creation (``WB_DEFER_INIT``)
+
+2. an interesting scan (``WB_DEFER_DELAY``)
+
+3. a barrier hit (``WB_DEFER_HIT``)
+
+See also job003975.

-Control of mutator access
--------------------------
+Interface
+---------
 
-The MPS uses ``ShieldRaise()`` and ``ShieldLower()`` to forbid or
-permit the mutator access to object memory (that is, memory allocated
-by MPS).
+
+Mutator access
+..............
+
+The shield provides ``ShieldRaise`` and ``ShieldLower`` to forbid or
+permit the mutator access to object memory segments.  Between these
+two, a segment is said to have the shield "raised".
 
 ``void ShieldRaise(Arena arena, Seg seg, AccessSet mode)``
 
-    Prevent the mutator accessing the memory in the specified mode
-    (``AccessREAD``, ``AccessWRITE``, or both).
+    Prevent the mutator accessing the memory segment in the specified
+    mode (``AccessREAD``, ``AccessWRITE``, or both).
 
 ``void ShieldLower(Arena arena, Seg seg, AccessSet mode)``
 
-    Allow the mutator to access the memory in the specified mode
-    (``AccessREAD``, ``AccessWRITE``, or both).
+    Allow the mutator to access the memory segment in the specified
+    mode (``AccessREAD``, ``AccessWRITE``, or both).
 
-If the mutator attempts an access that hits a shield, the MPS gets a
-barrier hit (in the form of a fault, interrupt, exception), quickly
-does some necessary work, and then makes the access succeed.
+If the mutator attempts an access that hits the shield, the MPS gets
+an OS-specific hardware protection fault which reaches
+``ArenaAccess``, does whatever work is necessary, then lowers the
+shield and returns to the mutator.
 
-Some objects (for example registers) cannot be hardware protected: the
-only way to prevent mutator access to them is to halt all mutator
-threads. The MPS uses ``ShieldSuspend()`` and ``ShieldResume()`` to do
-this.
-
-``void ShieldSuspend(Arena arena)``
-
-    Stop all registered mutator threads.
-
-``void ShieldResume(Arena arena)``
-
-    Resume all registered mutator threads.
+``ShieldRaise`` and ``ShieldLower` do *not* nest.
 
 
-Control of collector access
----------------------------
+Entering the shield
+...................
 
-When the collector wants to access object memory (that is, memory
-allocated by MPS), it must first call ``ShieldEnter()``, then wrap any
-accesses with a ``ShieldExpose()`` and ``ShieldCover()`` pair, and
-finally call ``ShieldLeave()``.
+The MPS can only gain exclusive access from "inside" the shield.  To
+enter the shield, the MPS must call ``ShieldEnter``, and to leave it,
+the MPS must call ``ShieldLeave``.
 
-``ShieldEnter()`` and ``ShieldLeave()`` are called by ``ArenaEnter()``
-and ``ArenaLeave()`` (approximately) -- so the shield is always
-entered when we are within MPS code (approximately).
+``ShieldEnter`` and ``ShieldLeave`` are called by ``ArenaEnter`` and
+``ArenaLeave`` so almost all of the MPS is is "inside" the shield.
 
-``ShieldExpose()`` might for example be called around:
 
-- format-scan (when scanning);

+Collector access to aegments
+----------------------------
 
-Note that there is no need to call ``ShieldExpose()`` when accessing
-pool management memory such as bit tables. This is not object
-memory, is never (legally) accessed by the mutator, and so is never
-shielded.
+When the MPS wants to access object memory segments from inside the
+shield, it must wrap any accesses with a ``ShieldExpose`` and
+``ShieldCover`` pair.  Between calls to ``ShieldExpose`` and
+``ShieldCover``, a segment is said to be "exposed".
 
-On common operating systems, the only way to allow collector access is
-to allow access from the whole process, including the mutator. So if
-the Shield is asked to allow collector access but deny mutator access,
-it will halt all mutator threads to prevent any mutator access. The
-Shield performs suspension and restart; normal collector code does not
-need to worry about it.
+A segment might for example be exposed during:
 
-Collector code can make multiple sequential, overlapping, or nested
-calls to ``ShieldExpose()`` on the same segment, as long as each is
-balanced by a corresponding ``ShieldCover()`` before ``ShieldLeave()``
-is called). A usage count is maintained on each segment in
-``seg->depth``: a positive "depth" means a positive number of
-outstanding *reasons* why the segment must be exposed to the collector.
-When the usage count reaches zero, there is no longer any reason the
-segment should be unprotected, and the Shield could re-instate
-hardware protection.
+  - format-scan (when scanning);
+  - format-skip (when marking grains in a non-moving fix);
+  - format-isMoved and ``AddrCopy`` (during a copying fix);
+  - format-pad (during reclaim).
 
-However, as a performance-improving hysteresis, the Shield defers
-re-protection, maintaining a queue of segments that no longer have a
-reason to be collector-accessible.  While a segment is in the queue,
-it has ``seg->queued`` set to TRUE.
+Note that there is no need to call ``ShieldExpose`` when accessing
+pool management memory such as bit tables. This is not object memory,
+is never (legally) accessed by the mutator, and so is never shielded.
+
+Similarly, a pool class that never raises the shield on its segments
+need never expose them to gain access.
+
+
+Collector access to the unprotectable
+.....................................
+
+Then the MPS wants to access an unprotectable object from inside the
+shield, it must wrap any accesses with a ``ShieldHold`` and
+``ShieldRelease`` pair.  This allows access to objects which cannot be
+shielded by ``ShieldRaise``, such as:
+
+  - the stack and registers of mutator threads,
+  - lockless allocation point structures,
+  - areas of memory that can't be protected by operating system calls,
+  - unprotectable roots.
+
+``void ShieldHold(Arena arena)``
+
+    Get exclusive access to the unprotectable.
+
+``void ShieldRelease(Arena arena)``
+
+    Declare that exclusive access is no longer needed.
+
+
+Mechanism
+---------
+
+On common operating systems, the only way to allow the MPS access is
+to allow access from the whole process, including the mutator. So
+``ShieldExpose`` will suspend all mutator threads to prevent any mutator
+access, and so will ``ShieldRaise`` on an unexposed segment. The
+shield handles suspending and resuming threads, and the the rest of
+the MPS does not need to worry about it.
+
+The MPS can make multiple sequential, overlapping, or nested calls to
+``ShieldExpose`` on the same segment, as long as each is balanced by a
+corresponding ``ShieldCover`` before ``ShieldLeave`` is called. A
+usage count is maintained on each segment in ``seg->depth``.  When the
+usage count reaches zero, there is no longer any reason the segment
+should be unprotected, and the shield may reinstate hardware
+protection at any time.
+
+.impl.delay: However, as a performance-improving hysteresis, the
+shield defers re-protection, maintaining a queue of segments that
+require attention before mutator threads are resumed.  While a segment
+is in the queue, it has ``seg->queued`` set to TRUE.
 
 This hysteresis allows the MPS to proceed with garbage collection
 during a pause without actually setting hardware protection until it
-returns to the mutator.  If a complete collection cycle occurs during
-one pause (a non-incremental collection), no system calls will be
-needed for collection barriers.  This is particularly important on
-operating systems where the protection is expensive and poorly
-implemented, such as OS X.
+returns to the mutator. This is particularly important on operating
+systems where the protection is expensive and poorly implemented, such
+as OS X.
 
-So whenever hardware protection is temporarily removed to allow
-collector access, there is a *nurse* that will ensure this protection
-is re-established: the nurse is either the balancing ``ShieldCover()``
-call in collector code, or an entry in the shield queue.
+The queue also ensures that no memory protection system calls will be
+neededIf a complete collection cycle occurs during one pause, allowing
+the MPS to operate in a non-incremental mode.

Subject: [PATCH 213/759] Counting shield holds and releases, to ensure they
 are nested correctly.

Counting the number of unsynced segments in order to check consistency.
Moving the extra shield hold for request.dylan.160098 around actual whitening, and adding a matching shield release.

+.improv.expose-modes: Would it be a good idea for ShieldExpose() to
+take an AccessSet? It might be good if we didn't have to raise a write
+barrier unless we want to write.  When scanning (for instance), we may
+not need to write, so when scanning a segment behind a write barrier
+we shouldn't have to call mprotect().  That's a bit speculative: how
+often do we scan a segment and not write to it.  Alternatively, and
+more speculatively, we could keep the write barrier up, handle the
+(possibly nested) trap and *then* expose the shield.  I'm just
+scraping around for ways to reduce calls to mprotect().
+
+Theoretically we can do this, but:
+
+ 1. We're mostly a moving collector so we'll almost always want to
+    write to segments we scan.  That could change if we do more
+    non-moving collection.
+
+ 2. The main cost of protection is changing it at all, not whether we
+    change just read or write.  On OS X, the main cost seems to be the
+    TLB flush, which affects wall-clock time of everything on the
+    processor!

- * An observation: Freeing memory introduces more information
- * into the system than allocating it.  This causes the problem
- * described in note 2.
- *
- * Notes
- *  1. Need to measure typical fragmentation levels and adjust the
- *     blockExtendBy parameter appropriately.  richard 1994-11-08
- *  2. free can lose memory if it can't allocate a block descriptor.  The
- *     memory could be pushed onto a special chain to be reclaimed later.
- *     richard 1994-11-09
- *  3. The span chain could be adaptive.  richard 1994-11-09
- *  5. An MFS pool for the block descriptors is justified, but not really
- *     for the spans, which are much rarer. richard 1994-11-09
- *  8. By changing MVSpanAlloc it might be possible to keep track of all
- *     allocated blocks using descriptors, for debugging purposes.  richard
- *     1994-11-10

-
-   #include "mpscmv.h"
-
-.. c:function:: mps_pool_class_t mps_class_mv(void)
-
-    Return the :term:`pool class` for an MV (Manual Variable)
-    :term:`pool`.
-
-    When creating an MV pool, :c:func:`mps_pool_create_k` takes four
-    optional :term:`keyword arguments`:
-
-    * :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_ALIGN` (type :c:type:`mps_align_t`, default is
-      :c:macro:`MPS_PF_ALIGN`) is the :term:`alignment` of the
-      addresses allocated (and freed) in the pool. The minimum
-      alignment supported by pools of this class is 1 (one)
-      and the maximum is the arena grain size
-      (see :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_ARENA_GRAIN_SIZE`).
-
-    * :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY` (type :c:type:`size_t`,
-      default 65536) is the :term:`size` of block that the pool will
-      request from the :term:`arena`.
-
-    * :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_MEAN_SIZE` (type :c:type:`size_t`, default 32)
-      is the predicted mean size of blocks that will be allocated from
-      the pool. This value must be smaller than, or equal to, the
-      value for :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY`.
-
-    * :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_MAX_SIZE` (type :c:type:`size_t`,
-      default 65536) is the predicted maximum size of blocks that will
-      be allocated from the pool. This value must be larger than, or
-      equal to, the value for :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY`.
-
-    The mean and maximum sizes are *hints* to the MPS: the pool will be
-    less efficient if these are wrong, but nothing will break.
-
-    For example::
-
-        MPS_ARGS_BEGIN(args) {
-            MPS_ARGS_ADD(args, MPS_KEY_MEAN_SIZE, 32);
-            MPS_ARGS_ADD(args, MPS_KEY_MAX_SIZE, 1024);
-            MPS_ARGS_ADD(args, MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY, 1024 * 1024);
-            res = mps_pool_create_k(&pool, arena, mps_class_mfs(), args);
-        } MPS_ARGS_END(args);
-
-
-.. c:function:: mps_pool_class_t mps_class_mv_debug(void)
-
-    A :ref:`debugging <topic-debugging>` version of the MV pool
-    class.
-
-    When creating a debugging MV pool, :c:func:`mps_pool_create_k`
-    takes five optional keyword arguments: :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_ALIGN`,
-    :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_SIZE`, :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_MEAN_SIZE`,
-    :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_MAX_SIZE` are as described above, and
-    :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_POOL_DEBUG_OPTIONS` specifies the debugging
-    options. See :c:type:`mps_pool_debug_option_s`.

 _`.int.define-class`: Class definition is performed by the macro
 ``DEFINE_CLASS()``. A call to the macro must be followed by a body of
 initialization code in braces ``{}``. The parameter ``className`` is
 used to name the class being defined. The parameter ``var`` is used to
-name a local variable of type ``classNameClass``, which is defined by
-the macro; it refers to the canonical storage for the class being
-defined.  This variable may be used in the initialization code. (The
-macro doesn't just pick a name implicitly because of the danger of a
-name clash with other names used by the programmer). A call to
-``DEFINE_CLASS(SomeClass, var)`` defines the ensure function for the
-class alond with some static storage for the canonical class object,
-and some other things to ensure the class gets initialized exactly
-once.
-
-``DEFINE_ALIAS_CLASS(className, typeName, var)``
-
-_`.int.define-alias-class`: A convenience macro
-``DEFINE_ALIAS_CLASS()`` is provided which both performs the class
-definition and defines the types ``SomeClass`` and ``SomeClass
-struct`` as aliases for some other class types. This is particularly
-useful for classes which simply inherit, and don't extend protocols.
-The macro call ``DEFINE_ALIAS_CLASS(className, superName, var)`` is
-exactly equivalent to the following::
-
-     typedef superName className;
-     typedef superNameStruct classNameStruct;
-     DEFINE_CLASS(className, var)

-_`.int.define-special`: If classes are particularly likely to be
-subclassed without extension, the class implementor may choose to
-provide a convenience macro which expands into ``DEFINE_ALIAS_CLASS()``
-with an appropriate name for the superclass. For example, there might
-be a macro for defining pool classes such that the macro call
-``DEFINE_POOL_CLASS(className, var)`` is exactly equivalent to the
-macro call ``DEFINE_ALIAS_CLASS(className, PoolClass, var)``. It may
-also be convenient to define a static superclass accessor macro at the
-same time (see `.int.static-superclass.special`_).

 performed by the macro ``INHERIT_CLASS``. A call to this macro will

-``thisClass``, and setting the superclass field of ``thisClass`` to be
-the parent class object. The parameter ``thisClassCoerced`` must be of
-type ``parentClassName``. If the class definition defines an alias

Subject: [PATCH 339/759] In change 188204 we avoided creating and progressing
 traces with nothing condemned. but traces had one other effect: they called
 arenacompact via tracereclaim. restore the arenacompact for traces that
 failed to condemn anything.

-hierarchies, which is called ``InstClass``. This is an "abstract"
-class (that is, it has no direct instances, but it is intended to have

+This pool class is intended to be used to implement stack languages

+language can ensure that objects that are kept alive when the stack is
+popped are copied to the heap.

Subject: [PATCH 393/759] Compile out statistic declarations in non-statistical
 varieties (at the cost of some syntax checking).

Add some missing STATISTIC guards where statistics are used.
Add design documentation.
Avoid unnecessary distinction between STATISTIC and STATISTIC_STAT (both result in statements).

+is not too much slower than the rash variety. A failure of this test

+This works by running gcbench for the AMC pool class and djbench for

+computing the ratio of the times taken in the two varieties, and
+testing that this falls under an acceptable limit. This target is

Subject: [PATCH 426/759] Initialize arena->zoneshift to zoneshiftunset (which
 is not a valid shift) and modify the arena checking to spot this value.
 previously a default shift value (namely 20) was used, but this value was
 bogus as the zone shift is not determined until the class initialization
 runs.

Subject: [PATCH 447/759] Get the mmqa test system working on windows. in
 detail:

1. Document how to run it on Windows from a Cygwin shell.
2. Ignore trailing spaces when analyzing test output.
3. Use the directory separator "/" since we're running under Cygwin.
4. No need for cat.exe, strings.exe, or tee.exe (these are supplied by Cygwin).
5. Microsoft Visual C/C++ needs /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS to avoid a warning about scanf.
6. The Microsoft Visual C/C++ linker no longer takes the options /debugtype:both or /debug:full. Replace with /debug.
7. Remove /pdb:none option (we want the PDB so that we can debug the result).
8. windows.h defines an UNALIGNED macro, so need to #undef it.
9. The long int type is 32 bits on 64-bit Windows, so we need size_t instead.
10. The values in the LPEXCEPTION_RECORD structure have type ULONG_PTR.
11. Test cases are expecting access violations to report abort=true, but on Windows they are caught by the exception handler, so report abort=true in this case.
12. mpsw3.h has gone, but we do need mpswin.h.

Fix some of the test cases:
1. Avoid compiler warning about overflowed multiplication in argerr/153.c.
2. In conerr/2.c, conerr/8.c and conerr/13.c, malloc enough space so that the signature check doesn't cause an access violation.
3. In conerr/25.c, allocate an object whose size is aligned to the platform alignment, which is 16 bytes on w3i6mv.
4. In connerr/18.c, conerr/53.c and conerr/54.c, update the location and text of the expected assertions.

Subject: [PATCH 448/759] Fix mmqa function test cases so that they run on
 windows. in detail:

1. On w3i6mv, int and long are 32 bits, so these types can't be used to hold a size_t or an mps_word_t. See 26.c, 38.c, 47.c, 66.c, 123.c, 136.c, 164.c, 165.c, 200.c, 203.c, 204.c, 205.c, 206.c, 207.c, 215.c, 223.c.
2. The Windows command line doesn't cope with parentheses. See 170.c.
3. The natural platform alignment is 16 bytes on w3i6mv, so allocations into pools using the default alignment need to be rounded up. See 21.c, 22.c, 203.c, 204.c, 205.c.
4. Microsoft Visual C/C++ is fussy about signed/unsigned comparison. See 226.c.
5. windows.h defines a SIZE macro so you can't use it as a parameter. See 232.c.

From e26f0b64e599767c4d24329d5b5cebf9c8dacdfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Richard Brooksby <rb@ravenbrook.com>
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 15:47:26 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 467/759] Replacing segbuffer with version that returns bool
 and the buffer, and disallowing null to segsetbuffer, adding setunsetbuffer
 for that case instead.

Subject: [PATCH 471/759] Make shield assertions robust against deep checking
 -- when shieldcover is called from shieldraise there is one unsynced segment
 that has not yet been queued. record this fact in a new queuepending flag in
 the shield structure.

Remove incorrect shield assertion "shield->depth == 0 || shield->suspended" -- depth may be increased without suspending the mutator if the segment did not need protecting.

+
+Security issues
+===============
+
+This chapter describes security issues that may be present when using
+the MPS.
+
+
+.. index::
+   pair: security issues; predictable address space layout
+   single: address space; predictable layout
+
+Predictable address space layout
+--------------------------------
+
+The MPS acquires :term:`address space` using the operating system's
+:term:`virtual memory` interface (specifically, :c:func:`mmap` on Unix
+platforms, and :c:func:`VirtualAlloc` on Windows). None of the
+supported platforms randomize the allocated regions of address space,
+which means that the :term:`addresses` of :term:`blocks` allocated by
+the MPS are predictable: a :term:`client program` that makes an
+identical series of calls to the MPS gets an identical series of
+addresses back.
+
+This means that if a program using the MPS has a buffer overflow, the
+overflow is more easily exploitable by an attacker than if the program
+had used :c:func:`malloc` (which has some randomization of the
+allocated addresses), because it is easier for an attacker to
+determine the address of allocated structures.
+
+There is currently no workaround for this issue. If this affects you,
+please :ref:`contact us <contact>`.
+
+
+.. index::
+   pair: security issues; telemetry
+
+Telemetry
+---------
+
+In its :term:`hot` and :term:`cool` varieties, the MPS contains a
+:term:`telemetry system` which can be configured to record a stream of
+events for later analysis and debugging. When using the default
+:term:`plinth`, the behaviour of the telemetry system is under the
+control of the environment variable :envvar:`MPS_TELEMETRY_CONTROL`,
+and the telemetry stream is written to the file named by the
+environment variable :envvar:`MPS_TELEMETRY_FILENAME`.
+
+This means that an attacker who can set arbitrary environment
+variables when running a program that uses the MPS can cause that
+program to write a telemetry stream to an arbitrary file. This
+behaviour might be unexpected, and might enable a data overwriting
+attack, or a denial-of-service attack, since telemetry streams are
+typically very large.
+
+If this is an issue for your program, then you can modify or replace
+the :ref:`topic-plinth-io` in the :term:`plinth` so that it meets your
+requirements, or distribute the :term:`rash` variety of the MPS, which
+omits the :term:`telemetry system` entirely, and use the other
+varieties only for development and testing.

+Address disclosure
+------------------
+
+The MPS supports :term:`semi-conservative garbage collection` in which
+some memory locations are :term:`scanned <scan>` as :term:`ambiguous
+references`. This may make it possible for a program to discover the
+:term:`address` of an :term:`object`, even if the programming language
+has no feature for obtaining the address of an object. Discovering the
+addresses of objects makes it easier to exploit buffer overflow bugs.
+
+The attack proceeds as follows: create a :term:`weak reference (1)` to
+the object of interest (for example, via a :term:`weak-key hash
+table`); guess a value for the address of the object; and arrange for
+that value to be scanned as an ambiguous reference (for example, by
+ensuring that it appears in :term:`registers` or on the :term:`control
+stack` of a :term:`thread`). If the guess was correct, the MPS keeps
+the object :term:`alive`; if incorrect, the object may :term:`die
+<dead>`. The attacker can then determine which of these was the case
+by examining the weak reference to see if it has been
+:term:`splatted <splat>`.
+
+The attack was pointed out by `Dionysus Blazakis in 2012
+<https://github.com/justdionysus/gcwoah>`_ with respect to JavaScript
+implementations, but it affects all :term:`conservative <conservative
+garbage collection>` and :term:`semi-conservative <semi-conservative
+garbage collection>` garbage collectors.

Subject: [PATCH 505/759] Lockisheld implementation for generic ("ansi") locks.

When CONFIG_THREAD_SINGLE is defined, use the generic lock module rather than compiling out all lock calls via lock.h. (Otherwise test cases that check LockIsHeld will fail.)

Subject: [PATCH 509/759] In order to be able to test mps_arena_busy in all
 build configurations, we must always take and release the arena lock, even in
 the single-threaded case. we gain some additional checking by doing this, at
 low cost (since in this build configuration the locks are generic and so just
 increment/decrement a count of claims).

In the CONFIG_POLL_NONE we configuration, we would still like to check that no traces are busy when leaving the arena, but since we now call ArenaLeave in this configurations, move the assertion to ShieldLeave.
In ArenaDestroy, call ArenaLeave, don't just release the lock.

Subject: [PATCH 511/759] Usability improvements for mmqa:

* -i option (MPS_INCLUDE_DIR) now defaults to the code directory relative to the test harness location.
* -p option (PLATFORM) is now a six-character platform code for consistency with the rest of the MPS.
* New -v option (VARIETY) for specifying cool/hot/rash.
* -l option (MPS_LINK_OBJ) now defaults to the appropriate object file for the platform and variety.
* The object file is built automatically.
* If $Id$ of a test file is longer than 70 characters, cut characters out of the middle rather than off the end.
* Eliminate obsolete option -prod (MPS_PRODUCT).
* Support for FreeBSD.

-Testing on Unix
----------------
+Quick start
+-----------
 
-From the test directory::
+In a shell in the test directory::
 
-    PLATFORM=lii6ll # substitute your platform
-    VARIETY=cool # or hot
-    CODE=../code # code directory of the branch you are testing
-    make -B -C $CODE -f $PLATFORM.gmk VARIETY=$VARIETY $PLATFORM/$VARIETY/mps.o

+    perl test/qa clib
+    perl test/qa run function/5.c
+    perl test/qa runset testsets/passing
+
+
+Usage and options
+-----------------
+
+Run ``perl test/qa help`` for help; run ``perl test/qa options`` to
+see what version of the harness you have (or look at the file
+``test/version``) and which options are available.
+
+The most important options are the ``-p`` option which specifies the
+platform (for example, ``-p lii6ll``) if the auto-detected platform is
+not the one you want to test, and the ``-v`` option which specifies
+the variety (for example ``-v hot``) if the cool variety is not the
+one you want to test.
+
+
+Debugging on Unix
+-----------------
 
 Each test case is compiled in its turn to the file
-``test/obj/$(uname -s)_$(uname -r)_$(uname -p)__unix/tmp_test``
-so you can debug it with::
+``test/obj/$PLATFORM/tmp_test`` so you can debug it with::
 
-    lldb test/obj/$(uname -s)_$(uname -r)_$(uname -p)__unix/tmp_test
+    gdb test/obj/lii6gc/tmp_test
 
-Or ``gdb`` instead of ``lldb``. MMQA sets its own assertion handler,
-so you'll probably want to set a breakpoint on mmqa_assert_handler.
-
-
-Testing on OS X
----------------
-
-From the test directory, build mpslib.a using the Xcode project::
-
-    xcodebuild -project ../code/mps.xcodeproj -target mps
-
-(You can also use "make" from the project root.)  Then::
-
-    perl test/qa -i ../code -l ../code/xc/Debug/libmps.a clib
-    perl test/qa -i ../code -l ../code/xc/Debug/libmps.a run function/232.c
-
-etc.  See "Testing on Unix" above.

From 5c31ca3cab93ed2776ab6baadc3849df6668d5e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Gareth Rees <gdr@ravenbrook.com>
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 15:06:14 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 541/759] Rename the "protection mutator context" module to
 "mutator context" (this module handles mutator context decoding for both the
 protection module and the thread module).

Rename functions Prot{Can,}StepInstruction to MutatorContext{Can,}StepInstruction so that they follow the naming convention in guide.implc.naming.prefix.program.
Move mutator context declarations out of prot.h into new header prmc.h.
Correct .assume.null in a couple of places -- it's not safe for MutatorContextStepInstruction to return ResUNIMPL, instead MutatorContextCanStepInstruction should return FALSE.

From d31012f13aec672bf4a6928db23abc236187bccf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Gareth Rees <gdr@ravenbrook.com>
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 16:28:50 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 543/759] Implement mutatorcontextsp and mutatorcontextscan for
 platforms w3i3 and w3i6.

This means that ThreadScan becomes identical on these two platforms and can be moved to thw3.c.
This means that thw3.h, thw3i3.c and thw3i6.c become redundant and can be deleted.

- *
- * ASSUMPTIONS
- *
- * .error: some major errors are assumed not to happen.
- *
- * Other errors are assumed to only happen in certain circumstances.
- * .error.get-context: GetThreadContext is assumed to succeed unless the
- * thread has been destroyed.
- *
- * .stack.full-descend:  assumes full descending stack.
- * i.e. stack pointer points to the last allocated location;
- * stack grows downwards.
- *
- * .stack.below-bottom: it's legal for the stack pointer to be at a
- * higher address than the registered bottom of stack. This might
- * happen if the stack of another thread doesn't contain any frames
- * belonging to the client language. In this case, the stack should
- * not be scanned.
- *
- * .stack.align: assume roots on the stack are always word-aligned,
- * but don't assume that the stack pointer is necessarily
- * word-aligned at the time of reading the context of another thread.
- *
- * .i3: assumes MPS_ARCH_I3
- * .i3.sp: The sp in the context is Esp
- * .i3.context: Esp is in control context so .context.sp holds
- * The root registers are Edi, Esi, Ebx, Edx, Ecx, Eax
- * these are given by CONTEXT_INTEGER, so .context.regroots holds.
- *
- * .nt: uses Win32 specific stuff
- * HANDLE
- * DWORD
- * GetCurrentThreadId
- * CONTEXT
- * CONTEXT_CONTROL | CONTEXT_INTEGER
- * GetThreadContext
- *
- * .context: ContextFlags determine what is recorded by

- * .context.sp: sp assumed to be recorded by CONTEXT_CONTROL.
- * .context.regroots: assumed to be recorded by CONTEXT_INTEGER.

- *  the manual page deprecates the BSD sa_handler in favour of the
- *  POSIX SA_SIGINFO sa_sigaction.  In that prototype, the arguments
- *  are: signal number, pointer to signal info structure, pointer to
- *  signal context structure.
+ * .sigh.args: We set the SA_SIGINFO flag in the sa_flags field of the
+ * sigaction structure, and so the signal handler in the sa_sigaction
+ * field receives three arguments: signal number, pointer to signal
+ * info structure, pointer to signal context structure.
  *
- *  .sigh.context: We use the PROT_SIGINFO_GOOD macro to (usually) check
- *  the info->si_code.  The macro is platform dependent and defined in
- *  config.h.  We assume that info->si_addr is the fault address.  This
- *  assumption turns out to fail for PowerPC Darwin (we use protxcpp.c
- *  there).
+ * .sigh.check: We check that info->si_code is SEGV_ACCERR (meaning
+ * "Invalid permissions for mapped object").
  *
- *  .sigh.mode: The fault type (read/write) does not appear to be
- *  available to the signal handler (see mail archive).
+ * .sign.addr: If so, we assume info->si_addr is the fault address.

 _`.threads.async.choice`: The signal handler calls ``ArenaAccess()``

+access. ``ArenaAccess()`` will claim various MPS locks (that is, the
+arena ring lock and some arena locks). The code calls no other POSIX
 functions in the case where the segmentation fault is not an MPS
 access. The locks are implemented as mutexes and are claimed by
 calling ``pthread_mutex_lock()``, which is not defined to be
 async-signal safe.
 
-_`.threads.async.choice.ok`: However, despite the fact that PThreads
-documentation doesn't define the behaviour of ``pthread_mutex_lock()``
-in these circumstances, we expect the LinuxThreads implementation will
-be well-behaved unless the segmentation fault occurs while while in

-`.threads.async.linux-mutex`_). But we can assume that a segmentation
-fault will not happen then (because we use the locks correctly, and
-generally must assume that they work). Hence we conclude that it is OK
-to call ``ArenaAccess()`` directly from the signal handler.
-
-_`.threads.async.linux-mutex`: A study of the LinuxThreads source code
-reveals that mutex lock and unlock functions are implemented as a
-spinlock (using a locked compare-and-exchange instruction) with a
-backup suspension mechanism using ``sigsuspend()``. On locking, the
-spinlock code performs a loop which examines the state of the lock,
-and then atomically tests that the state is unchanged while attempting
-to modify it. This part of the code is reentrant (and hence
-async-signal safe). Eventually, when locking, the spinlock code may
-need to block, in which case it calls ``sigsuspend()``, waiting for
-the manager thread to unblock it. The unlocking code is similar,
-except that this code may need to release another thread, in which
-case it calls ``kill()``. The functions ``sigsuspend()`` and
-``kill()`` are both defined to be async-signal safe by POSIX. In
-summary, the mutex locking functions use primitives which are entirely
-async-signal safe. They perform side-effects which modify the fields
-of the lock structure only. This code may be safely invoked inside a
-signal handler unless the interrupted function is in the process of
-manipulating the fields of that lock structure.
+_`.threads.async.choice.ok`: However, despite the fact that POSIX
+Threads documentation doesn't define the behaviour of

-making the assumption we also assume that the implementation of
-mutexes in LinuxThreads will not be completely re-designed in future

From d38c74a0b25bf908b67721b8da144f7a22db4f8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Gareth Rees <gdr@ravenbrook.com>
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 11:53:26 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 550/759] New modulefile prmcw3.c avoids duplication of code
 between prmcw3i3.c and prmcw3i6.c.

Implement MutatorContextCheck on Windows. Add AVERT(MutatorContext, context) in PoolAccess and other functions.
Document initialization functions MutatorContextInitFault and MutatorContextInitThread and implement them on Windows.
Add a union discriminator to MutatorContextStruct on Windows so that we don't accidentally try to get the stack pointer from a fault context, or the exception address from a thread context.

-Introduction
-------------
-
-_`.readership`: Any MPS developer.
-
-_`.intro`: This is the design of the SunOS 4 implementation of the
-protection module. It is intended to be used only in SunOS 4 (os.su).
-It makes use of various services provided by SunOS 4.
-
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-_`.req.general`: Required to implement the general protection
-interface defined in design.mps.prot.if_.
-
-.. _design.mps.prot.if: prot#if
-
-
-Overview
---------
-
-Uses ``mprotect()``.
-
-
-Misc
-----
-
-_`.improve.sig-stack`: Currently we do not handle signals on a
-separate signal stack. If we handled signals on our own stack then we
-could guarantee not to run out of stack while we were handling the
-signal. This would be useful (it may even be required). We would have
-to use ``sigvec(2)`` rather than ``signal(3)`` (set the ``SV_ONSTACK``
-flag and use ``sigstack(2)``). This has drawbacks as the signal stack
-is not grown automatically, so we would have to to frig the stacks
-back if we wanted to pass on the signal to some other handler as that
-handler may require arbitrary amounts of stack.
-
-_`.improve.sigvec`: Note 1 of ``ProtSetup()`` notes that we can't
-honour the ``sigvec(2)`` entries of the next handler in the chain.
-What if when we want to pass on the signal instead of calling the
-handler we call ``sigvec()`` with the old entry and use kill to send
-the signal to ourselves and then restore our handler using sigvec
-again.
-
-
-Data structures
----------------
-
-_`.data.signext`: This is static. Because that is the only
-communications channel available to signal handlers. [write a little
-more here]
-
-
-Functions
----------
-
-_`.fun.setup`: ``ProtSetup()``. The setup involves installing a signal
-handler for the signal ``SIGSEGV`` to catch and handle protection
-faults (this handler is the function ``sigHandle()``). The previous
-handler is recorded (in the variable ``sigNext``, see
-`.data.signext`_) so that it can be reached from ``sigHandle()`` if it
-fails to handle the fault.
-
-The problem with this approach is that we can't honor the wishes of the 
-``sigvec(2)`` entry for the previous handler (in terms of masks in particular).
-
-Obviously it would be okay to always chain the previous signal handler
-onto ``sigNext``, however in the case where the previous handler is
-the one we've just installed (that is, ``sigHandle``) then it is not
-necessary to chain the handler, so we don't.
-
-_`.fun.set`: ``ProtSet()``
-
-_`.fun.set.convert`: The requested protection (which is expressed in
-the mode parameter, see design.mps.prot.if.set_) is translated into an
-operating system protection. If read accesses are to be forbidden then
-all accesses are forbidden, this is done by setting the protection of
-the page to ``PROT_NONE``. If write access are to be forbidden (and
-not read accesses) then write accesses are forbidden and read accesses
-are allowed, this is done by setting the protection of the page to
-``PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC``. Otherwise (all access are okay), the
-protection is set to ``PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC``.
-
-.. _design.mps.prot.if.set: prot#if.set
-
-_`.fun.set.assume.mprotect`: We assume that the call to ``mprotect()``
-always succeeds. This is because we should always call the function
-with valid arguments (aligned, references to mapped pages, and with an
-access that is compatible with the access of the underlying object).
-
-_`.fun.sync`: ``ProtSync()``. This does nothing in this implementation
-as ProtSet sets the protection without any delay.

-Introduction
-------------
-
-_`.readership`: Any MPS developer.
-
-_`.intro`: This is the design for Stack Scanner module that runs on
-Digital UNIX / Alpha systems (See os.o1 and arch.al). The design
-adheres to the general design and interface described (probably not
-described actually) in design.mps.ss.
-
-_`.source.alpha`: book.digital96 (Alpha Architecture Handbook)
-describes the Alpha Architecture independently of any particular
-implementation. The instruction mnemonics and the semantics for each
-instruction are specified in that document.
-
-[DEC_Assembler]_ describes the assembler syntax and assembler
-directives. It also summarises the calling conventions used. Chapters
-1 and 6 were especially useful, especially chapter 6.
-
-[DEC_Alpha_Calling_Standard]_ describes the calling conventions used
-for Digital Alpha systems. Chapter 2 was useful. But the whole
-document was not used as much as the previous 2 documents.
-
-
-Definitions
------------
-
-_`.def.saved`: Saved Register.  A saved register is one whose value is defined to 
-be preserved across a procedure call according to the Calling Standard.  They 
-are ``$9``--``$15``, ``$26``, and ``$30``.  ``$30`` is the stack pointer.
-
-_`.def.non-saved`: Non-Saved Register. A non-save register is a
-register that is assumed to be modified across a procedure call
-according to the Calling Standard.
-
-_`.def.tos`: Top of Stack. The top of stack is the youngest portion of
-the stack.
-
-_`.def.bos`: Bottom of Stack. The bottom of stack is the oldest
-portion of the stack.
-
-_`.def.base`: Base. Of a range of addresses, the base is the lowest
-address in the range.
-
-_`.def.limit`: Limit. Of a range of addresses, the limit is "one past"
-the highest address in the range.
-
-
-Overview
---------
-
-_`.overview`: The registers and the stack need to be scanned. This is
-achieved by storing the contents of the registers into a frame at the
-top of the stack and then passing the base and limit of the stack
-region, including the newly created frame, to the function
-``TraceScanAreaTagged()``. ``TraceScanAreaTagged()`` performs the
-actual scanning and fixing.
-
-
-Detail Design
--------------
-
-Functions
-.........
-
-_`.fun.stackscan`: ``StackScan()``
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.asm`: The function is written in assembler.
-_`.fun.stackscan.asm.justify`: This is because the machine registers
-need to be examined, and it is only possible to access the machine
-registers using assembler.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.entry`: On entry to this procedure all the non-saved
-(temporary) registers that contain live pointers must have been saved
-in some root (usually the stack) by the mutator (otherwise it would
-lose the values). Therefore only the saved registers need to be stored
-by this procedure.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.assume.saved`: We assume that all the saved registers
-are roots. This is conservative since some of the saved registers
-might not be used.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.frame`: A frame is be created on the top of the
-stack. _`.fun.stackscan.frame.justify`: This frame is used to store
-the saved registers into so that they can be scanned.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.save`: All the saved registers, apart from $30 the
-stack pointer, are to be stored in the frame.
-_`.fun.stackscan.save.justify`: This is so that they can be scanned.
-The stack pointer itself is not scanned as the stack is assumed to be
-a root (and therefore a priori alive).
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.call`: ``TraceScanAreaTagged()`` is called with the
-current stack pointer as the base and the (passed in) ``StackBot`` as
-the limit of the region to be scanned. _`.fun.stackscan.call.justify`:
-This function does the actual scanning. The Stack on Alpha systems
-grows down so the stack pointer (which points to the top of the stack)
-is lower in memory than the bottom of the stack.
-
-_`.fun.stackscan.return`: The return value from
-``TraceScanAreaTagged()`` is used as the return value for
-``StackScan()``.

-data (via pool field). Accessing this shared data must involve a lock.
-
-_`.deadlock`: A strict ordering is required between the global and
-arena locks to prevent deadlock. The binary global lock may not be
-claimed while either the arena or recursive global lock is held; the
-arena lock may not be claimed while the recursive global lock is held.

+Design
+------
 
-_`.sol.arena-lock`: Lock per arena which locks all MPS structures
-associated with the arena, except allocation buffers.
+_`.sol.locks`: Use MPS locks (design.mps.lock_) to implement the
+locking.
 
-_`.sol.init`: Shared static data may not be changed. It is initialised
-before being read, and if re-initalised the values written must be
-identical to those already there. Essentially only read-only shared
-static data is allowed.
+.. _design.mps.lock: lock
 
-_`.sol.fine-grain`: Use finer grained locks, for example, a lock per
-per pool instance. Arena lock locks only operations on arena. Pool
-locks are claimed per pool. An ordering on pool instances would avoid
-deadlock.
+_`.sol.arena`: Each arena has a binary lock that protects the
+non-shared data for that arena. Functions in the public interface fall
+into the following categories:
 
-_`.sol.global`: Use global locks for genuinely global data which must
-be updated dynamically. An ordering between global and arena locks
-would avoid deadlock.
+- _`.sol.arena.entry`: Must be called with the arena lock not held
+  (thus, these functions are not callable from format methods and
+  other callbacks). Claims arena binary lock on entry, releases it on
+  exit. The usual case. For example, ``mps_arena_park()``.
 
+- _`.sol.arena.recursive`: May be called with the arena lock held (for
+  example, from format methods and other callbacks). Claim arena lock
+  recursively on entry, release it on exit. For example,
+  ``mps_addr_fmt()``.
 
-Implementation
---------------
+- _`.sol.arena.lock-free`: May be called at any time and does not
+  claim or release any locks, because it is documented as being up to
+  the client program to ensure thread safety (for example,
+  ``mps_ld_add()``).
 
-Use MPS locks (design.mps.lock_) to do locking.
+- _`.sol.arena.maybe-entry`: Must be called with the arena lock not
+  held. In the common case, does not claim or release any locks
+  (because it is documented as being up to the client program to
+  ensure thread safety, as for `.sol.arena.lock-free`_), but may need
+  to claim and release the arena binary lock (as for
+  `.sol.arena.entry`_). For example, ``mps_reserve()``,
+  ``mps_commit()``, ``mps_ap_frame_push()``, and
+  ``mps_ap_frame_pop()``.
 
-Locking Functions
-.................
+_`.sol.global.mutable`: There is a global binary lock (see
+design.mps.lock.req.global.binary_) that protects mutable data shared
+between all arenas (that is, the arena ring lock: see
+design.mps.arena.static.ring.lock_).
 
-``ArenaEnter()`` and ``ArenaLeave()`` are used to claim and release the
-arena lock. To implement this:
+.. _design.mps.lock.req.global.binary: lock#req.global.binary
+.. _design.mps.arena.static.ring.lock: arena#static.ring.lock
 
-- There is a lock for every arena. The arena class init function
-  allocates the lock as well as the arena itself.
-- ``ArenaInit()`` calls ``LockInit()`` on the lock and initializes the
-  pointer to it from the arena.
-- ``ArenaDestroy()`` calls ``LockFinish()`` on it.
-- ``ArenaEnter()`` claims the lock.
-- ``ArenaLeave()`` releases the lock.
+_`.sol.global.once`: There is a global recursive lock (see
+design.mps.lock.req.global.recursive_) that protects static data which
+must be initialized at most once (that is, the protocol classes). Each
+static data structure is accessed only via an "ensure" function that
+claims the global recursive lock, checks to see if the data structure
+has been initialized yet, and does so if necessary (see
+design.mps.protocol.impl.define-class.lock_).
 
-Shared and non-shared data
-..........................
+.. _design.mps.lock.req.global.recursive: lock#req.global.recursive
+.. _design.mps.protocol.impl.define-class.lock: protocol#impl.define-class.lock
 
-Non-shared data is data for which no other thread has a handle on it.
-shared-non-mutable data is data which is never changed after
-initialisation. It may be re-initialised, if re-initialisation does
-not change its value. atomically updatable data is data which is not
-locked, but may be shared because it is in a consistent state before
-and after an update.
+_`.sol.deadlock`: A strict ordering is required between the global and
+arena locks to prevent deadlock. The binary global lock may not be
+claimed while either the arena or recursive global lock is held; the
+arena lock may not be claimed while the recursive global lock is held.
+Each arena lock is independent of all other arena locks; that is, a
+thread may not attempt to claim more than one arena lock at a time.
+See design.mps.arena.lock.avoid_.
 
-A function is "safe" if it may safely execute without exclusive access
-to the data it manipulates.
+.. _design.mps.arena.lock.avoid: arena#lock.avoid
 
-A "safe" function may:
+_`.sol.check`: The MPS interface design requires that a function must
+check the signatures on the data structures pointed to by its
+parameters (see design.mps.sig.check.arg_). In particular, for
+functions in the class `.sol.arena.entry`_ it is necessary to check
+some data structure signatures before taking the arena lock. The
+checking interface provides a ``TESTT()`` macro that checks the
+signature in a thread-safe way (see
+design.mps.sig.check.arg.unlocked_).
 
-- call other safe functions;
-- manipulate non-shared data;
-- read shared-non-mutable data;
-- claim the arena lock around code which may manipulate shared data in
-  the arena.
-
-Each function in the external MPS interface falls into one of the
-following categories:
-
-- calls ``ArenaEnter()`` on entry and ``ArenaLeave()`` on exit;
-- uses ``PoolArena()`` to identify the arena, before claiming the lock;
-- uses ``BufferPool()`` and ``PoolArena()`` to identify the arena, before
-  claiming the lock;
-- is not defined as external but is listed for explicitness;
-- only claims the lock in otherwise unsafe situations (buffer code?);
-- may be called externally but only in a situation where the arena
-  lock is already held;
-- is the unique accessor of its data.
-
-So ``PoolArena()`` and ``BufferPool()`` must be "safe". ``pool->arena`` is
-shared-non-mutable. ``buffer->pool`` is shared-non-mutable.
-
-Validation
-..........
-
-We have to be careful about validation. Any function that is called
-from a arena-safe function without the arena-lock held, must itself be
-safe, or manipulating non-shared data.
-
-For example, calling ``PoolIsValid()`` before claiming the lock would be
-wrong if ``PoolIsValid()`` is unsafe. Defining it to be safe would
-involve locking it, which if done in all similar situations would be
-very expensive.
-
-Possibly remove validation from accessor methods; replace with
-signature check and ``IsValid()`` calls in callers of accessor
-functions.

-
-_`.fun.unmap`: ``VMUnmap()`` "unmaps" a region by replacing the
-existing mapping with a mapping using the ``vm->none_fd`` file
-descriptor (see mumble mumble, ``VMCreate()``), and protection set to
-``PROT_NONE`` (that is, no access).
-
-_`.fun.unmap.justify`: Replacing the mapping in this way means that
-the address space is still reserved and will not be used by calls to
-``mmap()`` (perhaps in other libraries) which specify
-``MAP_VARIABLE``.
-
-_`.fun.unmap.offset`: The offset for this mapping is the offset of the
-region being unmapped in the VM; this gives the same effect as if
-there was one mapping of the ``vm->none_fd`` from the base to the
-limit of the VM (but "behind" all the other mappings that have been
-created).
-
-_`.fun.unmap.offset.justify`: If this is not done (if for example the
-offset is always specified as 0) then the VM will cause the kernel to
-create a new file reference for each mapping created with
-``VMUnmap()``; eventually the kernel refuses the ``mmap()`` call because it
-can't create a new file reference.

-
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-_`.intro`: This is the design for the VM implementation on Solaris 2.x
-(see os.so for OS details). The implementation is in MMsrc!vmso.c
-(impl.c.vm). The design follows the design for and implements the
-contract of the generic VM interface (design.mps.vm_). To summarize:
-The VM module provides a mechanism to reserve large (relative to the
-amount of RAM) amounts of address space, and functions to map (back
-with RAM) and unmap portions of this address space.
-
-.. _design.mps.vm: vm
-
-_`.source`: Much of the implementation (and hence the design) was
-inherited from the SunOS4 implementation. Not that there's any design
-for that. You'll find the ``mmap(2)`` (for the system call ``mmap()``)
-and the ``zero(7d)`` (for the device ``/dev/zero``) man pages useful
-as well. The generic interface and some generic design is in
-design.mps.vm_.
-
-
-Definitions
------------
-
-_`.def`: See design.mps.vm.def_ for definitions common to all VMs.
-
-.. _design.mps.vm.def: vm#def
-
-
-Overview
---------
-
-_`.over`: The system calls ``mmap()`` and ``munmap()`` are used to
-access the underlying functionality. They are used in slightly unusual
-ways, typically to overcome baroque features or implementation details
-of the operating system.
-
-_`.over.reserve`: In order to reserve address space, a mapping to a
-file (``/etc/passwd`` as it happens) is created with no protection
-allowed.
-
-_`.over.map`: In order to map memory, a mapping to ``/dev/zero`` is
-created.
-
-_`.over.destroy`: When the VM is destroyed, ``munmap()`` is used to
-remove all the mappings previously created.
-
-
-Implementation
---------------
-
-_`.impl.create`: ``VMCreate()``
-
-_`.impl.create.vmstruct`: Enough pages to hold the ``VMStruct`` are
-allocated by creating a mapping to ``/dev/zero`` (a read/write private
-mapping), and using initializing the memory as a ``VMStruct``.
-
-_`.impl.create.reserve`: The size parameter is rounded up to page size
-and this amount of address space is reserved. The address space is
-reserved by creating a shared mapping to ``/etc/passwd`` with no
-access allowed (the ``prot`` argument is ``PROT_NONE``, and the
-``flags`` argument is ``MAP_SHARED``).
-
-_`.impl.create.reserve.mmap.justify`: ``mmap()`` gives us a flexible
-way to allocate address space without interfering with any other
-component in the process. Because we don't specify ``MAP_FIXED`` we
-are guaranteed to get a range of addresses that are not in use. Other
-components must cooperate by not attempting to create mappings
-specifying ``MAP_FIXED`` and an address in the range that the MPS has
-reserved.
-
-_`.impl.create.reserve.passwd.justify`: Mapping ``/etc/passwd`` like
-this worked on SunOS 4 (so this implementation inherited it). Mapping
-``/dev/zero`` with ``prot=PROT_NONE`` and ``flags=MAP_PRIVATE`` does
-not work because Solaris gratuitously allocates swap (even though you
-can't use the memory).
-
-_`.impl.create.reserve.improve`: However, it would appears that or-ing
-in ``MAP_NORESERVE`` mapping ``/dev/zero`` will reserve address space
-without allocating swap, so this might be worth trying. That is, with
-``prot=PROT_NONE`` and ``flags=MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_NORESERVE``. However
-the following caveat comes from the original implementation:
-"Experiments have shown that attempting to reserve address space by
-mapping ``/dev/zero`` results in swap being reserved. This appears to
-be a bug, so we work round it by using ``/etc/passwd``, the only file
-we can think of which is pretty much guaranteed to be around." So that
-might not work after all.
-
-_`.impl.map`: ``VMMap()``
-
-_`.impl.map.zero`: A mapping to ``/dev/zero`` is created at the
-relevant addresses (overriding the map to ``/etc/passwd`` that was
-previously in place for those addresses). The ``prot`` argument is
-specified as ``PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC`` (so that any access is
-allowed), the ``flags`` argument as ``MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED``. The
-flag ``MAP_PRIVATE`` means that the mapping is not shared with child
-processes (child processes will have a mapping, but changes to the
-memory will not be shared). The flag ``MAP_FIXED`` guarantees that we
-get the mapping at the specified address). The ``zero(7d)`` man page
-documents this as a way to create a "zero-initialized unnamed memory
-object".
-
-_`.impl.map.error`: If there's not enough swap space for the mapping,
-``mmap()`` will return ``EAGAIN``, not ``ENOMEM``, although you might
-not think so from the man page.
-
-_`.impl.unmap`: ``VMUnmap()``
-
-_`.impl.unmap.reserve`: The relevant addresses are returned to the
-reserved state by creating a mapping to ``/etc/passwd`` (overriding
-the map ``/dev/zero`` that was previously in place for those
-addresses). As for ``VMCreate()`` (see `.impl.create.reserve`_ above)
-the ``prot`` argument is ``PROT_NONE``, but the ``flags`` argument has
-the addition ``MAP_FIXED`` flags (so is ``MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED``).
-
-_`.impl.unmap.reserve.offset`: The offset argument is specified to be
-the offset of the addresses being unmapped from the base of the
-reserved VM area.
-
-_`.impl.unmap.reserve.offset.justify`: Not specifying the offset like
-this makes Solaris create a separate mapping (in the kernel) each time
-Unmap is used, eventually the call to ``mmap()`` will fail. Specifying
-offset like this does not cause Solaris to create any extra mappings,
-the existing mapping to ``/etc/passwd`` gets reused.

 _`.intro`: The client message protocol provides a means by which
-clients can receive messages from the MPS asynchronously. Typical
-messages may be low memory notification (or in general low utility),
-finalization notification, soft-failure notification. There is a
-general assumption that it should not be disastrous for the MPS client
-to ignore messages, but that it is probably in the clients best
-interest to not ignore messages. The justification for this is that
-the MPS cannot force the MPS client to read and act on messages, so no

 Requirements
 ------------
 
-_`.req`: The client message protocol will be used for implementing
-finalization (see design.mps.finalize_ and req.dylan.fun.final). It
-will also be used for implementing the notification of various
-conditions (possibly req.dylan.prot.consult is relevant here).
+_`.req.synchronous`: The message protocol must be synchronous with the
+client program: that is, the client program must be able to choose
+when to collect and act on messages. Justification: [Boehm_2002]_
+shows that asynchronous finalization is impossible to implement
+correctly.
 
-.. _design.mps.finalize: finalize
+_`.req.reliable`: Posting a message must be reliable: that is, it must
+not fail for a dynamic reason such as running out memory to store the
+message. Justification: messages can't be used to implement
+finalization unless the messages can be delivered reliably.
+
+_`.req.extensible.types`: The message mechanism must be extensible
+with new types of message in future versions of the MPS, without
+breaking client programs that do not receive those types of message.
+
+_`.req.resources`: It follows from `.req.extensible.types`_ that
+messages must not use resources unless the client program has
+requested them (otherwise resources would leak in client programs that
+have not been updated to handle new types of message).
+
+_`.req.extensible.fields`: It must be possible to add new fields to
+existing types of message in future versions of the MPS, without
+breaking client programs that do not receive those types of message.
+
+
+Design
+------
+
+_`.sol.synchronous`: Messages are stored on a ring belonging to the
+arena. An interface is provided that allows the client program to
+collect messages from the ring at a time of its choosing.
+
+_`.sol.reliable`: The memory needed for the message is allocated at an
+earlier point in time, when it possible to communicate an allocation
+failure via a result code. In particular, space for a finalization
+message is allocated when the client program calls ``mps_finalize()``,
+and space for trace messages is allocated in the arena (there can be
+at most one instance of each message per trace, and the maximum number
+of traces is known statically).
+
+_`.sol.resources`: Messages are not posted unless they belong to a
+type that has been enabled by the client program calling
+``mps_message_enable()``. This means that message types that are not
+understood by the client program are not posted and use no resources.
+
+_`.sol.extensible.fields`: Message fields are retrieved by calling
+accessor functions.

From 587a3efb20491f7e823f900c1c937115b59c3ce6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Gareth Rees <gdr@ravenbrook.com>
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 14:07:20 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 562/759] Remove unused pool class methods tracebegin and
 traceend.

Remove unused event AMCTraceEnd.
The fixEmergency method must have the same type as the fix method because of how they are used.

Subject: [PATCH 563/759] Cherry-pick change 192595 from custom/cet/main,
 removing mps_addr_object. this function failed to solve the problem of
 decoding the stack on 64-bit windows, because the stack may need to be
 decoded after an mps assertion failure, in which case the arena lock is held
 and mps_addr_object cannot be called. we eventually solved the problem in a
 different way (using mps_arena_postmortem) and mps_addr_object is no longer
 used.

-Definitions
------------
+Introduction
+-------------
 
-_`.def.outer-structure`: The "outer structure" (of a pool) is a C
-object of type ``PoolXXXStruct`` or the type ``struct PoolXXXStruct``
-itself.
-
-_`.def.generic-structure`: The "generic structure" is a C object of
-type ``PoolStruct`` (found embedded in the outer-structure) or the
-type ``struct PoolStruct`` itself.
+_`.intro`: This document describes the interface and protocols between
+the MPM and the pool classes.
 
 
-Defaults
---------
+Classes and structures
+----------------------
 
-_`.align`: When initialised, the pool gets the default alignment
-(``ARCH_ALIGN``).
+_`.class`: Each pool belongs to a *pool class*.
 
-_`.no`: If a pool class doesn't implement a method, and doesn't expect
-it to be called, it should use a non-method (``PoolNo*``) which will
-cause an assertion failure if they are reached.
+_`.class.name`: Each pool class has a short, pithy, cryptic name for
+the pool class. It should start with ``"A"`` (for "automatic") if
+memory is managed by the garbage collector, and ``"M"`` (for "manual")
+if memory is managed by alloc/free. For example, "AMC", "MV".
 
-_`.triv`: If a pool class supports a protocol but does not require any
-more than a trivial implementation, it should use a trivial method
-(``PoolTriv*``) which will do the trivial thing.
+_`.class.protocol`: Pool classes use the *protocol* mechanisms (see
+design.mps.protocol_) to implement class initialization and
+inheritance.
 
-_`.outer-structure.sig`: It is good practice to put the signature for
-the outer structure at the end (of the structure). This is because
-there's already one at the beginning (in the poolStruct) so putting it
+.. _design.mps.protocol: protocol
+
+_`.class.structure`: Each pool class has an associated *class
+structure*, which is a C object of type ``PoolClass``. This is
+initialized and accessed via the ``CLASS()`` macro, for example
+``CLASS(MRGPool)`` initializes and accesses the class structure for
+the MRG pool class.
+
+_`.struct.outer`: The *outer structure* of a pool belonging to the ABC
+pool class is a C object of type ``ABCPoolStruct``, which is a typedef
+for ``struct PoolABCStruct``.
+
+_`.stuct.outer.sig`: It is good practice to put the signature for the
+outer structure at the end (of the structure). This is because there's
+already one at the beginning (in the generic structure), so putting it
 at the end gives some extra fencepost checking.
 
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-.. note::
-
-    Placeholder: must derive the requirements from the architecture.
-
-_`.req.fix`: ``PoolFix()`` must be fast.
+_`.struct.generic`: The *generic structure* of a pool is a C object of
+type ``PoolStruct`` (found embedded in the outer structure), which is
+a typedef for ``struct PoolStruct``.
 
 
-Other
------
+Fields
+------
 
-Interface in mpm.h
-Types in mpmst.h
-See also design.mps.poolclass
+_`.field`: These fields are provided by pool classes as part of the
+``PoolClass`` object (see `.class.structure`_). They form part of the
+interface which allows the MPM to treat pools in a uniform manner.
+
+_`.field.name`: The ``name`` field must be the pool class name
+(`.class.name`_).
+
+_`.field.size`: The ``size`` field is the size of the pool instance
+structure. For the ``PoolABC`` class this can reasonably be expected
+to be ``sizeof(PoolABCStruct)``.
+
+_`.field.attr`: The ``attr`` field must be a bitset of pool class
+attributes. See design.mps.type.attr_.
+
+.. _design.mps.type.attr: type#attr
 
 
-Document History
+Methods
+-------
+
+_`.method`: These methods are provided by pool classes as part of the
+``PoolClass`` object (see `.class.structure`_). They form part of the
+interface which allows the MPM to treat pools in a uniform manner.
+
+_`.method.unused`: If a pool class is not required to provide a
+certain method, the class should assign the appropriate ``PoolNo``
+method (which asserts) for that method to ensure that erroneous calls
+are detected. It is not acceptable to use ``NULL``.
+
+_`.method.trivial`: If a pool class if required to provide a certain
+method, but the class provides no special behaviour in this case, it
+should assign the appropriate ``PoolTriv`` method, which does nothing.
+
+_`.method.inst`: Pool classes may implement the generic instance
+methods (see design.mps.protocol.inst.method_). In particular:
+
+.. _design.mps.protocol.inst.method: inst#method
+
+- _`.method.inst.finish`: The ``finish`` method
+  (design.mps.protocol.inst.method.finish_) must finish the outer
+  structure and then call its superclass method via the
+  ``NextMethod()`` macro (thus calling ``PoolAbsFinish()`` which
+  finishes the generic structure).
+
+  .. _design.mps.protocol.inst.method.finish: inst#method.finish
+
+- _`.method.inst.describe`: The ``describe`` method
+  (design.mps.protocol.inst.method.describe_) should print a
+  description of the pool. Each line should begin with two spaces.
+  Classes are not required to provide this method.
+
+  .. _design.mps.protocol.inst.method.describe: inst#method.describe
+
+``typedef void (*PoolVarargsMethod)(ArgStruct args[], va_list varargs)``
+
+_`.method.varargs`: The ``varargs`` field decodes the variable
+arguments to the deprecated function ``mps_pool_create()`` and
+converts them to a list of keyword arguments (see
+design.mps.keyword-arguments_).
+
+.. _design.mps.keyword-arguments: keyword-arguments
+
+``typedef Res (*PoolInitMethod)(Pool pool, Arena arena, PoolClass klass, ArgList args)``
+
+_`.method.init`: The ``init`` method must call its superclass method
+via the ``NextMethod()`` macro (thus calling ``PoolAbsInit()`` which
+initializes the generic structure), and then initialize the outer
+structure. It is called via the generic function ``PoolInit()``.
+
+``typedef Res (*PoolAllocMethod)(Addr *pReturn, Pool pool, Size size)``
+
+_`.method.alloc`: The ``alloc`` method manually allocates a block of
+at least ``size`` bytes. It should update ``*pReturn`` with a pointer
+to a fresh (that is, not overlapping with any other live object)
+object of the required size. Failure to allocate must be indicated by
+returning an appropriate error code, and in such a case, ``*pReturn``
+must not be updated. Pool classes are not required to provide this
+method. It is called via the generic function ``PoolAlloc()``.
+
+_`.method.alloc.size.align`: A pool class may allow an unaligned
+``size`` (rounding it up to the pool's alignment).
+
+``typedef void (*PoolFreeMethod)(Pool pool, Addr old, Size size)``
+
+_`.method.free`: The ``free`` method manually frees a block. The
+parameters are required to correspond to a previous allocation request
+(possibly via a buffer, not necessarily via ``PoolAlloc()``). It is an
+assertion by the client that the indicated object is no longer
+required and the resources associated with it can be recycled. Pool
+classes are not required to provide this method. It is called via the
+generic function ``PoolFree()``.
+
+_`.method.free.size.align`: A pool class may allow an unaligned
+``size`` (rounding it up to the pool's alignment).
+
+``typedef BufferClass (*PoolBufferClassMethod)(void)``
+
+_`.method.bufferClass`: The ``bufferClass`` method returns the class
+of buffers used by the pool. Pool classes are not required to provide
+this method. It is called via the generic function
+``PoolDefaultBufferClass()``.
+
+``typedef Res (*PoolBufferFillMethod)(Addr *baseReturn, Addr *limitReturn, Pool pool, Buffer buffer, Size size)``
+
+_`.method.bufferFill`: The ``bufferFill`` method should allocate a
+region of least ``size`` bytes of memory for attaching to ``buffer``.
+The buffer must be in the "reset" state (see
+design.mps.buffer.reset_). If successful, it must update
+``*baseReturn`` and ``*limitReturn`` to the base and limit of the
+allocated region and return ``ResOK``. Otherwise it must leave
+``*baseReturn`` and ``*limitReturn`` unchanged and return a non-OK
+result code. Pool classes are not required to provide this method.
+This method is called by the ``BufferFill()``.
+
+.. _design.mps.buffer.reset: buffer#reset
+
+``typedef void (*PoolBufferEmptyMethod)(Pool pool, Buffer buffer, Addr init, Addr limit)``
+
+_`.method.bufferEmpty`: The ``bufferEmpty`` method indicates that the
+client program has finished with the unused part of the buffer (the
+part between init and limit). This method must be provided if and only
+if ``bufferFill`` is provided. This method is called by the generic
+function ``BufferDetach()``.
+
+``typedef Res (*PoolAccessMethod)(Pool pool, Seg seg, Addr addr, AccessSet mode, MutatorContext context)``
+
+_`.method.access`: The ``access`` method indicates that the client
+program attempted to access the address ``addr``, but has been denied
+due to a protection fault. The ``mode`` indicates whether the client
+program was trying to read (``AccessREAD``) or write (``AccessWRITE``)
+the address. If this can't be determined, ``mode`` is ``AccessREAD |
+AccessWRITE``. The pool should perform any work necessary to remove
+the protection whilst still preserving appropriate invariants (this
+might scanning the region containing ``addr``). Pool classes are not
+required to provide this method, and not doing so indicates they never
+protect any memory managed by the pool. This method is called via the
+generic function ``PoolAccess()``.
+
+``typedef Res (*PoolWhitenMethod)(Pool pool, Trace trace, Seg seg)``
+
+_`.method.whiten`: The ``whiten`` method requests that the pool to
+condemn (a subset of, but typically all) the objects in the segment
+``seg`` for the trace ``trace``. That is, prepare them for
+participation in the trace to determine their liveness. The pool
+should expect fix requests (`.method.fix`_) during the trace and a
+reclaim request (`.method.reclaim`_) at the end of the trace. Pool
+classes that automatically reclaim dead objects must provide this
+method, and must additionally set the ``AttrGC`` attribute. This
+method is called via the generic function ``PoolWhiten()``.
+
+``typedef void (*PoolGreyMethod)(Pool pool, Trace trace, Seg seg)``
+
+_`.method.grey`: The ``grey`` method requires the pool to colour the
+objects in the segment ``seg`` grey for the trace ``trace`` (excepting
+objects that were already condemned for this trace). That is, make
+them ready for scanning by the trace ``trace``. The pool must arrange
+that any appropriate invariants are preserved, possibly by using the
+protection interface (see design.mps.prot_). Pool classes are not
+required to provide this method, and not doing so indicates that all
+instances of this class will have no fixable or traceable references
+in them.
+
+.. _design.mps.prot: prot
+
+``typedef void (*PoolBlackenMethod)(Pool pool, TraceSet traceSet, Seg seg)``
+
+_`.method.blacken`: The ``blacken`` method is called if it is known
+that the segment ``seg`` cannot refer to the white set for any of the
+traces in ``traceSet``. The pool must blacken all grey objects in the
+segment for those traces. Pool classes are not required to provide
+this method, and not doing so indicates that all instances of this
+class will have no fixable or traceable references in them. This
+method is called via the generic function ``PoolBlacken()``.
+
+``typedef Res (*PoolScanMethod)(Bool *totalReturn, ScanState ss, Pool pool, Seg seg)``
+
+_`.method.scan`: The ``scan`` method requires that the pool scan all
+the grey objects on the segment ``seg``, passing the scan state ``ss``
+to ``FormatScan``. The pool may additionally accumulate a summary of
+*all* the objects on the segment. If it succeeds in accumulating such
+a summary it must indicate that it has done so by setting the
+``*totalReturn`` parameter to ``TRUE``. Otherwise it must set
+``*totalReturn`` to ``FALSE``. Pool classes are not required to
+provide this method, and not doing so indicates that all instances of
+this class will have no fixable or traceable references in them. This
+method is called via the generic function ``PoolScan()``.
+
+``typedef Res (*PoolFixMethod)(Pool pool, ScanState ss, Seg seg, Ref *refIO)``
+
+_`.method.fix`: The ``fix`` method indicates that the reference
+``*refIO`` has been discovered at rank ``ss->rank`` by the traces in
+``ss->traces``, and the pool must handle this discovery according to
+the fix protocol (design.mps.fix_). If the pool moves the object, it
+must update ``*refIO`` to refer to the new location of the object. If
+the pool determines that the referenced object died (for example,
+because the highest-ranking references to the object were weak), it
+must update ``*refIO`` to ``NULL``. Pool classes that automatically
+reclaim dead objects must provide this method, and must additionally
+set the ``AttrGC`` attribute. Pool classes that may move objects must
+also set the ``AttrMOVINGGC`` attribute. The ``fix`` method is on the
+critical path (see design.mps.critical-path_) and so must be fast.
+This method is called via the function ``TraceFix()``.
+
+.. _design.mps.fix: fix
+.. _design.mps.critical-path: critical-path
+
+_`.method.fixEmergency`: The ``fixEmergency`` method is used to
+perform fixing in "emergency" situations. Its specification is
+identical to the ``fix`` method, but it must complete its work without
+allocating memory (perhaps by using some approximation, or by running
+more slowly). Pool classes must provide this method if and only if
+they provide the ``fix`` method. If the ``fix`` method does not need
+to allocate memory, then it is acceptable for ``fix`` and
+``fixEmergency`` to be the same.
+
+``typedef void (*PoolReclaimMethod)(Pool pool, Trace trace, Seg seg)``
+
+_`.method.reclaim`: The ``reclaim`` method indicates that any
+remaining white objects in the segment ``seg`` have now been proved
+unreachable by the trace ``trace``, and so are dead. The pool should
+reclaim the resources associated with the dead objects. Pool classes
+are not required to provide this method. If they do, they must set the
+``AttrGC`` attribute. This method is called via the generic function
+``PoolReclaim()``.
+
+``typedef void (*PoolWalkMethod)(Pool pool, Seg seg, FormattedObjectsVisitor f, void *v, size_t s)``
+
+_`.method.walk`: The ``walk`` method must call the visitor function
+``f`` (along with its closure parameters ``v`` and ``s`` and the
+appropriate object format) once for each of the *black* objects in the
+segment ``seg``. Padding objects may or may not be included in the
+walk, at the pool's discretion: it is the responsibility of the client
+program to handle them. Forwarding objects must not be included in the
+walk. Pool classes need not provide this method. If they do, they must
+set the ``AttrFMT`` attribute. This method is called by the heap
+walker ``mps_arena_formatted_objects_walk()``.
+
+``typedef Size (*PoolSizeMethod)(Pool pool)``
+
+_`.method.totalSize`: The ``totalSize`` method must return the total
+memory allocated from the arena and managed by the pool. This method
+is called by the generic function ``PoolTotalSize()``.
+
+_`.method.freeSize`: The ``freeSize`` method must return the free
+memory allocated from the arena and managed by the pool, but not in
+use by the client program. This method is called by the generic
+function ``PoolFreeSize()``.

-Fields
-------
-
-_`.field`: These fields are provided by pool classes as part of the
-``PoolClass`` object (see impl.h.mpmst.class). They form part of the
-interface which allows the MPM to treat pools in a uniform manner.
-
-_`.field.name`: The ``name`` field should be a short, pithy, cryptic
-name for the pool class. It should typically start with ``"A"`` if
-memory is managed by the garbage collector, and ``"M"`` if memory is
-managed by alloc/free. Examples are "AMC", "MV".
-
-_`.field.attr`: The ``attr`` field must be a bitset of pool class
-attributes. See design.mps.type.attr_.
-
-.. _design.mps.type.attr: type
-
-_`.field.size`: The ``size`` field is the size of the pool instance
-structure. For the ``PoolFoo`` class this can reasonably be expected
-to be ``sizeof(PoolFooStruct)``.
-
-_`.field.offset`: The ``offset`` field is the offset into the pool
-instance structure of the generic ``PoolStruct``. Typically this field
-is called ``poolStruct``, so something like ``offsetof(PoolFooStruct,
-poolStruct)`` is typical. If possible, arrange for this to be zero.
-
-
-Methods
--------
-
-_`.method`: These methods are provided by pool classes as part of the
-``PoolClass`` object (see impl.h.mpmst.class). They form part of the
-interface which allows the MPM to treat pools in a uniform manner.
-
-_`.method.unused`: If a pool class is not required to provide a
-certain method, the class should assign the appropriate ``PoolNo``
-method for that method to ensure that erroneous calls are detected. It
-is not acceptable to use ``NULL``.
-
-_`.method.trivial`: If a pool class if required to provide a certain
-method, but the class provides no special behaviour in this case, it
-should assign the appropriate ``PoolTriv`` method.
-
-_`.method.init`: The ``init`` field is the pool class's init method.
-This method is called via the generic function ``PoolInit()``, which
-is in turn called by ``PoolCreate()``. The generic function allocates
-the pool's structure (using the ``size`` and ``offset`` fields),
-initializes the ``PoolStruct`` (generic part), then calls the ``init``
-method to do any class-specific initialization. Typically this means
-initializing the fields in the pool instance structure. If ``init``
-returns a non-OK result code the instance structure will be
-deallocated and the code returned to the caller of ``PoolInit()`` or
-``PoolCreate()``. Note that the ``PoolStruct`` isn't made fully valid
-until ``PoolInit()`` returns, so the ``init`` method must not call
-``PoolCheck()``.
-
-_`.method.finish`: The ``finish`` field is the pool class's finish
-method. This method is called via the generic function
-``PoolFinish()``, which is in turn called by ``PoolDestroy()``. It is
-expected to finalise the pool instance structure, release any
-resources allocated to the pool, and release the memory associated
-with the pool instance structure. Note that the pool is valid when it
-is passed to ``finish``. The ``PoolStruct`` (generic part) is finished
-when the pool class's ``finish`` method returns.
-
-_`.method.alloc`: The ``alloc`` field is the pool class's allocation
-method. This method is called via the generic function
-``PoolAlloc()``. It is expected to return a pointer to a fresh (that
-is, not overlapping with any other live object) object of the required
-size. Failure to allocate should be indicated by returning an
-appropriate error code, and in such a case, ``*pReturn`` should not be
-updated. Pool classes are not required to provide this method.
-
-_`.method.free`: The ``free`` method is the pool class's free method.
-This is intended primarily for manual style pools. This method is
-called via the generic function ``PoolFree()``. The parameters are
-required to correspond to a previous allocation request (possibly via
-a buffer). It is an assertion by the client that the indicated object
-is no longer required and the resources associated with it can be
-recycled. Pool classes are not required to provide this method.
-
-_`.method.bufferInit`: The ``bufferInit`` method is the pool class's
-buffer initialization method. It is called by the generic function
-``BufferCreate()``, which allocates the buffer descriptor and
-initializes the generic fields. The pool may optionally adjust these
-fields or fill in extra values. If ``bufferInit`` returns a result
-code other than ``ResOK``, the buffer structure is deallocated and the
-result code is returned to the caller of ``BufferCreate()``. Note that
-the ``BufferStruct`` isn't fully valid until ``BufferCreate()``
-returns. Pool classes are not required to provide this method.
-
-_`.method.bufferFinish`: The ``bufferFinish`` method is the pool
-class's buffer finishing method. It is called by the the generic
-function ``BufferDestroy()``. The pool is expected to detach the
-buffer from any memory and prepare the buffer for destruction. The
-pool is expected to release the resources associated with the buffer
-structure, and any unreserved memory in the buffer may be recycled. It
-is illegal for a buffer to be destroyed when there are pending
-allocations on it (that is, an allocation has been reserved, but not
-committed) and this is checked in the generic function. This method
-must be provided if and only if ``bufferInit`` is provided.
-
-_`.method.access`: The ``access`` method is used to handle client
-access. This method is called via the generic functions
-``ArenaAccess()`` and ``PoolAccess()``. It indicates that the client
-has attempted to access the specified region, but has been denied and
-the request trapped due to a protection state. The pool should perform
-any work necessary to remove the protection whilst still preserving
-appropriate invariants (typically this will be scanning work). Pool
-classes are not required to provide this method, and not doing so
-indicates they never protect any memory managed by the pool.
-
-_`.method.whiten`: The ``whiten`` method is used to condemn a segment
-belonging to a pool. This method is called via the generic function
-``PoolWhiten()``. The pool is expected to condemn a subset (but
-typically all) of the objects in the segment and prepare the segment
-for participation in a global trace to determine liveness. The pool
-should expect fix requests (via the ``fix`` method below) during a
-global trace. Pool classes that automatically reclaim dead objects
-must provide this method, and must additionally set the ``AttrGC``
-attribute.
-
-_`.method.grey`: The ``grey`` method is used to greyen a segment
-belonging to a pool. This method is called via the generic function
-``PoolGrey()``. The pool should set all of the objects in the segment
-(excepting any set that has been condemned in this trace) to be grey,
-that is, ready for scanning. The pool should arrange that any
-appropriate invariants are preserved, possibly by using the protection
-interface (see design.mps.prot_). Pool classes are not required to
-provide this method, and not doing so indicates that all instances of
-this class will have no fixable or traceable references in them.
-
-.. _design.mps.prot: prot
-
-_`.method.blacken`: The ``blacken`` method is used to blacken a
-segment belonging to a pool. This method is called via the generic
-function ``PoolBlacken()`` when it is known that the segment cannot
-refer to the white set. The pool must blacken all grey objects in the
-segment. Pool classes are not required to provide this method, and not
-doing so indicates that all instances of this class will have no
-fixable or traceable references in them.
-
-_`.method.scan`: The ``scan`` method is used to scan a segment. This
-method is called via the generic function ``PoolScan()``. The pool
-must scan all the known grey objects on the segment and it may also
-accumulate a summary of *all* the objects on the segment. If it
-succeeds in accumulating such a summary it must indicate that it has
-done so by setting the ``totalReturn`` parameter to ``TRUE``. Pool
-classes are not required to provide this method, and not doing so
-indicates that all instances of this class will have no fixable or
-traceable reference in them.
-
-_`.method.fix`: The ``fix`` method is used to perform fixing. This
-method is called via the generic function ``TraceFix()``. It indicates
-that the specified reference has been found and the pool should
-consider the object to be live. There is provision for adjusting the
-value of the reference (to allow for classes that move objects). not
-required to provide this method. Pool classes that automatically
-reclaim dead objects must provide this method, and must additionally
-set the ``AttrGC`` attribute. Pool classes that may move objects must
-also set the ``AttrMOVINGGC`` attribute.
-
-_`.method.fixEmergency`: The ``fixEmergency`` method is used to
-perform fixing in "emergency" situations. It must complete its work
-without allocating memory (perhaps by using some approximation, or by
-running more slowly). Pool classes must provide this method if they
-provide the ``fix`` method.
-
-_`.method.reclaim`: The ``reclaim`` method is used to reclaim memory
-in a segment. This method is called via the generic function
-``PoolReclaim()``. It indicates that any remaining white objects in
-the segment have now been proved unreachable, hence are dead. The pool
-should reclaim the resources associated with the dead objects. Pool
-classes are not required to provide this method. If they do, they must
-set the ``AttrGC`` attribute.
-
-_`.method.walk`: The ``walk`` method is used by the heap walker. The
-``walk`` method should apply the visitor function (along with its
-closure parameter and the object format) to all *black* objects in
-the segment. Padding objects may or may not be included in the walk at
-the classes discretion, in any case in will be the responsibility of
-the client to do something sensible with padding objects. Forwarding
-objects are never included in the walk. Pool classes need not provide
-this method. If they do, they must set the ``AttrFMT`` attribute.
-
-_`.method.describe`: The ``describe`` field is used to print out a
-description of a pool. This method is called via the generic function
-``PoolDescribe()``. The class should emit an textual description of
-the pool's contents onto the specified stream. Each line should begin
-with two spaces. Classes are not required to provide this method.
-
-
-Events
-------
-
-_`.replay`: To work with the allocation replayer (see
-design.mps.telemetry.replayer_), the pool has to emit an event for each
-call to an external interface, containing all the parameters passed by
-the user. If a new event type is required to carry this information,
-the replayer (impl.c.eventrep) must then be extended to recreate the
-call.
-
-.. _design.mps.telemetry.replayer: telemetry#replayer
-
-_`.replay.Init`: In particular, the ``init`` method should emit a
-``PoolInit<foo>`` event with all the pool parameters.
-
-
-Text
------
-
-_`.alloc.size`: The pool class implementation defines the meaning of
-the "size" parameter to the ``alloc`` and ``free`` methods. It may not
-actually correspond to a number of bytes of memory.
-
-_`.alloc.size.align`: In particular, the class may allow an unaligned
-size to be passed.

+_`.int.finalize.create`: Creates the final pool if it has not been
+created yet.
+
+_`.int.finalize.alloc`: Allocates a guardian in the final pool.
+
+_`.int.finalize.alloc.multiple`: A consequence of this implementation
+is that if an object is finalized multiple times, then multiple

+allocation of the object fails then the error is returned to the
+caller.

Subject: [PATCH 604/759] Make mps manual sphinx extensions compatible with
 recent versions of sphinx:

1. Don't use the html_use_smartypants directive (smartquotes are on by default now).
2. Don't call make_admonition but inherit from BaseAdmonition instead.
3. Set the title of an admonition via the visit method instead of hacking the title node (which is now non-existent as a result of item 2).

From 2401957e62b37b94faf26cf4c2bb730915f483a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Gareth Rees <gdr@ravenbrook.com>
Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2018 12:54:35 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 610/759] Extend forktest so that it does allocation before the
 fork and collection afterwards; this ensures that we hit the read barrier and
 thus exercise the exception handling.

After forking in the child, re-create exception port and exception thread, and re-register the (only) thread with that port.

Subject: [PATCH 611/759] Take locks before fork(), release them in the parent
 and reinitialize them in the child.

Add forktest target to the Xcode project.
Write design for fork safety and cross-reference from the code.
Update release notes.

+Fork safety
+...........
+
+In order to support ``fork()``, we need to solve the following problems:
+
+_`.anal.fork.lock`: Any MPS lock might be held by another thread at
+the point where ``fork()`` is called. The lock would be protecting the
+integrity of some data structure. But in the child the thread holding
+the lock no longer exists, and so there is no way to restore the
+integrity.
+
+_`.anal.fork.threads`: In the child process after a ``fork()``, there
+is only one thread, which is a copy of the thread that called
+``fork()`` in the parent process. All other threads no longer exist.
+But the MPS maintains references to these threads, via the
+``ThreadStruct`` object` created by calls to ``mps_thread_reg()``. If
+we try to communicate with these threads it will fail or crash.
+
+_`.anal.fork.exc-thread`: On macOS, the MPS handles protection faults
+using a dedicated thread. But in the child process after a ``fork()``,
+this dedicated thread no longer exists. Also, the Mach port on which
+the dedicated thread receives its messages does not exist in the child
+either.
+
+_`.anal.fork.mach-port`: On macOS, the MPS identifies threads via
+their Mach port numbers, which are stashed in the ``ThreadStruct`` and
+used to identify the current thread, for example in
+``ThreadSuspend()``. But in the child process after ``fork()`` the
+running thread has a different Mach port number than it did in the
+parent.

+_`.sol.fork.atfork`: The MPS solves the fork-safety problems by

+the parent and child processes just after fork (the "parent" and "child" handlers respectively).

+_`.sol.fork.lock`: In the prepare handler, the MPS takes all the
+locks: that is, the global locks, and then the arena lock for every
+arena. Note that a side-effect of this is that the shield is entered
+for each arena. In the parent handler, the MPS releases all the locks.
+In the child handler, the MPS would like to release the locks but this
+does not work (neither on macOS nor on Linux), so instead it
+reinitializes them.
+
+_`.sol.fork.threads`: In the prepare handler, the MPS identifies for
+each arena the current thread, that is, the one calling ``fork()``
+which will survive into the child process, and marks this thread by
+setting a flag in the appropriate ``ThreadStruct``. In the parent
+handler, this flag is cleared. In the child handler, all threads
+(except for the one flagged) are marked as dead and transferred to the
+ring of dead threads. (The MPS can't destroy the thread structures at
+this point because they are owned by the client program.)
+
+_`.sol.fork.exc-thread`: On macOS, in the child handler, the exception
+port and dedicated thread are re-created, and the current thread

+Fork safety
+-----------
+
+On Linux, FreeBSD and macOS, the MPS makes a best-effort attempt to
+continue running in the child process after a call to :c:func:`fork`,
+even if the :term:`client program` was running multiple
+:term:`threads` at the point where the call is made to :c:func:`fork`.
+
+.. warning::
+
+    POSIX offers little or nothing in the way of guarantees about the
+    situation of a child process running after a multi-threaded parent
+    forked. The specification_ says:
+
+    .. _specification: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fork.html
+
+        A process shall be created with a single thread. If a
+        multi-threaded process calls :c:func:`fork`, the new process shall
+        contain a replica of the calling thread and its entire address
+        space, possibly including the states of mutexes and other
+        resources. Consequently, to avoid errors, the child process may
+        only execute async-signal-safe operations until such time as one
+        of the :c:func:`exec` functions is called.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Although only one thread is created in the child process, any
+    threads in the parent process that were registered with the MPS by
+    calling :c:func:`mps_thread_reg` must still be deregistered, by
+    calling :c:func:`mps_thread_dereg`, before the arena is destroyed.

+Adding a new smoke test
+-----------------------
+
+To add a new smoke test to the MPS, carry out the following steps.
+(The procedure uses the name "smoketest" throughout but you should of
+course replace this with the name of your test case.)
+
+_`.new.source`: Create a C source file in the code directory,
+typically named "smoketest.c". In additional to the usual copyright
+boilerplate, it should contain a call to ``testlib_init()`` (this
+ensures reproducibility of pseudo-random numbers), and a ``printf()``
+reporting the absence of defects (this output is recognized by the
+test runner)::
+
+    #include <stdio.h>
+    #include "testlib.h"
+
+    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+    {
+      testlib_init(argc, argv);
+      /* test happens here */
+      printf("%s: Conclusion: Failed to find any defects.\n", argv[0]);
+      return 0;
+    }
+
+_`.new.unix`: If the test case builds on the Unix platforms (FreeBSD,
+Linux and macOS), edit code/comm.gmk adding the test case to the
+``TEST_TARGETS`` macro, and adding a rule describing how to build it,
+typically::
+
+    $(PFM)/$(VARIETY)/smoketest: $(PFM)/$(VARIETY)/smoketest.o \
+            $(TESTLIBOBJ) $(PFM)/$(VARIETY)/mps.a
+
+_`.new.windows`: If the test case builds on Windows, edit
+code/commpre.nmk adding the test case to the ``TEST_TARGETS`` macro,
+and edit code/commpost.nmk adding a rule describing how to build it,
+typically::
+
+    $(PFM)\$(VARIETY)\smoketest.exe: $(PFM)\$(VARIETY)\smoketest.obj \
+            $(PFM)\$(VARIETY)\mps.lib $(FMTTESTOBJ) $(TESTLIBOBJ)
+
+_`.new.macos`: If the test case builds on macOS, open
+code/mps.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj for edit and open this project in
+Xcode. If the project navigator is not visible at the left, select
+View → Navigators → Show Project Navigator (⌘1). Right click on the
+Tests folder and choose Add Files to "mps"…. Select code/smoketest.c
+and then click Add. Move the new file into alphabetical order in the
+Tests folder. Click on "mps" at the top of the project navigator to
+reveal the targets. Select a test target that is similar to the one
+you have just created. Right click on that target and select Duplicate
+(⌘D). Select the new target and change its name to "smoketest". Select
+the "Build Phases" tab and check that "Dependencies" contains the mps
+library, and that "Compile Sources" contains smoketest.c and
+testlib.c. Close the project.
+
+_`.new.database`: Edit tool/testcases.txt and add the new test case to
+the database. Use the appropriate flags to indicate the properties of
+the test case. These flags are used by the test runner to select the
+appropriate sets of test cases, for example tests marked ``=P``
+(Polling) can't be run on the protectionless build of the MPS.
+
+_`.new.manual`: Edit manual/source/code-index.rst and add the new test
+case to the "Automated test cases" section.

Subject: [PATCH 655/759] Segment class gcseg no longer implements hardware
 barriers; these are implemented by new subclass mutatorseg, which is now used
 everywhere that gcseg was used formerly. the idea is that in a future change
 mrgrefseg will inherit from gcseg instead of mutatorseg.

Subject: [PATCH 657/759] Refactor arenapeekseg so that it maintains the mps
 invariants by scanning the segment if necessary. arenaread is now a thin
 wrapper around arenapeekseg. new function arenawrite is now the corresponding
 wrapper around arenapokeseg.

MRG reference segments inherit from GCSeg (not MutatorSeg) and so don't have hardware barriers. Instead, the code implements software barriers by always using ArenaRead and ArenaWrite.

Subject: [PATCH 681/759] Branching master to branch/2018-07-04/mvff-perf.

Copied from Perforce
 Change: 194389

From 0cf1718af91659ebaf0d6cc558023dc7a243b989 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Gareth Rees <gdr@ravenbrook.com>
Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2018 14:30:22 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 682/759] Improve performance of mvff in hot builds by:

1. Using macros to bypass PoolFree and Land* generic functions.
2. Compiling out assertions on functions on the critical paths for manual allocation and freeing.
3. Taking advantage of the fact that splay->updateNode does not change during a splay operation.

Copied from Perforce
 Change: 194397

Subject: [PATCH 688/759] Fix the check of the cbs overlapping insertion
 failure case: in order for the inserted block not to overlap it's right
 neighbour, its limit must be <= the base of the right neighbour (not the
 limit as previously written). this mistake was introduced accidentally in
 change 182344.

 including breaking formatting objects walking. instead, call segsetwhite to
 make the segment white, and set the trace's white summary to the universe.

Add cross-reference from second-stage test in _mps_fix2 so that if the white set test is changed, the roots walking code can be changed to match.
In walkt0, add a smoke test for mps_arena_roots_walk.

Subject: [PATCH 730/759] Generation's computed mortality has denominator of
 condemned memory (not new memory), so use the same denominator when
 predicting the mortality for a trace.

Simpler to compute predicted mortality as casualties/condemned instead of 1 - survivors/condemned.

 condemned memory (not new memory), so use the same denominator when
 predicting the mortality for a trace.

Simpler to compute predicted mortality as casualties/condemned instead of 1 - survivors/condemned.

 The component rules that result in this style are:
 
 _`.switch.break`: The last line of every case-clause body must be an
 unconditional jump statement (usually ``break``, but may be ``goto``,
-``continue``, or ``return``), or if a fall-through is intended, the comment
-``/* fall-through */``. (Note: if the unconditional jump should never be
-taken, because of previous conditional jumps, use ``NOTREACHED`` on the
-line before it). This rule is to prevent accidental fall-throughs, even
-if someone makes a editing mistake that causes a conditional jump to be
-missed.

Subject: [PATCH 742/759] Update mmqa tests to cope with the removal of mv:

* Fix typo in argerr/41.c.
* Delete argerr/43.c and argerr/44.c: MVFF doesn't take a maximum size argument so we can't test for erroneous values of this argument.
* Fix assertion condition in conerr/59.c.
* In function/136.c, need to specify extend-by for second pool, now that it's an MVFF pool.
* function/224.c now passes (fragmentation is avoided because MVFF allocations can cross extent boundaries).

-        Use :c:func:`mps_class_mvff` instead.
-
-    Return the :term:`pool class` for an MV (Manual Variable)
-    :term:`pool`.
-
-    When creating an MV pool, :c:func:`mps_pool_create_k` takes four
-    optional :term:`keyword arguments`:
-
-    * :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_ALIGN` (type :c:type:`mps_align_t`, default is
-      :c:macro:`MPS_PF_ALIGN`) is the :term:`alignment` of the
-      addresses allocated (and freed) in the pool. The minimum
-      alignment supported by pools of this class is 1 (one)
-      and the maximum is the arena grain size
-      (see :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_ARENA_GRAIN_SIZE`).
-
-    * :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY` (type :c:type:`size_t`,
-      default 65536) is the :term:`size` of block that the pool will
-      request from the :term:`arena`.
-
-    * :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_MEAN_SIZE` (type :c:type:`size_t`, default 32)
-      is the predicted mean size of blocks that will be allocated from
-      the pool. This value must be smaller than, or equal to, the
-      value for :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY`.
-
-    * :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_MAX_SIZE` (type :c:type:`size_t`,
-      default 65536) is the predicted maximum size of blocks that will
-      be allocated from the pool. This value must be larger than, or
-      equal to, the value for :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY`.
-
-    The mean and maximum sizes are *hints* to the MPS: the pool will be
-    less efficient if these are wrong, but nothing will break.
-
-    For example::
-
-        MPS_ARGS_BEGIN(args) {
-            MPS_ARGS_ADD(args, MPS_KEY_MEAN_SIZE, 32);
-            MPS_ARGS_ADD(args, MPS_KEY_MAX_SIZE, 1024);
-            MPS_ARGS_ADD(args, MPS_KEY_EXTEND_BY, 1024 * 1024);
-            res = mps_pool_create_k(&pool, arena, mps_class_mfs(), args);
-        } MPS_ARGS_END(args);

-    :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_EXTEND_SIZE`, :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_MEAN_SIZE`,
-    :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_MAX_SIZE` are as described above, and
-    :c:macro:`MPS_KEY_POOL_DEBUG_OPTIONS` specifies the debugging
-    options. See :c:type:`mps_pool_debug_option_s`.
