#ifndef EGG_COUNTER_H
#define EGG_COUNTER_H

#include <glib-object.h>

/*
 * History
 * =======
 *
 * EggCounter is a performance counter based on ideas from previous work
 * on high performance counters. They are not guaranteed to be 100%
 * correct, but they approach that with no synchronization given new
 * enough hardware. In particular, we use %ecx from rdtscp (the core id)
 * to determine which cachline to increment the counter within.
 *
 * Given a counter, the value will be split up int NCPU cachelines where
 * NCPU is the number of cores returned from get_nprocs() (on Linux).
 *
 * Updating the counter is very cheap, reading back the counter requires
 * a volatile read of each cacheline. Again, no correctness is guaranteed.
 *
 * In practice, very few values are lost even during tight competing loops.
 * A loss can happen when the thread is pre-empted between the %rdtscp
 * instruction and the addq increment (on x86_64).
 *
 *
 * Using EggCounter
 * ================
 *
 * To define a counter, you must have support for constructor attributes.
 *
 *   EGG_DEFINE_COUNTER (Symbol, "Category", "Name", "Description")
 *
 * To increment the counter in a function of your choice (but within the
 * same module), use EGG_COUNTER_ADD, EGG_COUNTER_INC, EGG_COUNTER_DEC.
 *
 *   EGG_COUNTER_INC (Symbol);
 *
 *
 * Architecture Support
 * ====================
 *
 * If you are not on x86_64, or are missing the rdtscp instruction, a 64-bit
 * atomic will be performed using __sync_fetch_and_add8(). Clearly, we can
 * do some more work here to abstract which implementation is used, but we
 * only support GCC and Clang today, which both have that intrinsic. Some
 * architectures may not have it (such as 32-bit PPC), but I'm not too
 * concerned about that at the moment.
 *
 * The counters are mapped into a shared memory zone using shm_open() and
 * mmap(). An external program can then discover the available counters
 * and print them without blocking the target program. It simply must
 * perform the reads in a volatile manner just like the target process
 * would need to do for readback.
 *
 * EggCounterArena provides a helper to walk through the counters in the
 * shared memory zone. egg_counter_arena_foreach().
 *
 * You cannot remove a counter once it has been registered.
 *
 *
 * Accessing Counters Remotely
 * ===========================
 *
 * You can access the counters from out of process. By opening the SHM zone
 * and reading the contents from each cachline, you can get the approximate
 * state of the target application without blocking it.
 *
 * EggCounterArena provides a helper for you to do this.
 *
 *   EggCounterArena *arena;
 *
 *   arena = egg_counter_arena_new_for_pid (other_process_pid);
 *   egg_counter_arena_foreach (arena, my_counter_callback, user_data);
 *
 *
 * Data Layout
 * ===========
 *
 * The layout of the shared memory zone is broken into "cells". Each cell
 * is an approximate cacheline (64-bytes) on modern Intel hardware. Indexes
 * to data locations are represented in cells to simplify the math and
 * allow the compiler to know we are working with properly aligned structures.
 *
 * The base pointer in EggCounter.values is not 64-byte aligned! It is 8-byte
 * aligned and points to the offset within the cacheline for that counter.
 * We pack 8 64-bit counters into a single cacheline. This allows us to avoid
 * an extra MOV instruction when incrementing since we only need to perform
 * the offset from the base pointer.
 *
 * The first two cells are the header which contain information about the
 * underlying shm file and how large the mmap() range should be.
 *
 * After that, begin the counters.
 *
 * The counters are layed out in groups of 8 counters.
 *
 *  [8 CounterInfo Structs (128-bytes each)][N_CPU Data Zones (64-byte each)]
 *
 * See egg-counter.c for more information on the contents of these structures.
 *
 *
 * Build System Requirements
 * =========================
 *
 * We need to know if rdtscp is available at compile time. In an effort
 * to keep the headers as portable as possible (if that matters here?) we
 * require that you define EGG_HAVE_RDTSCP if the instruction is supported.
 *
 * An example for autoconf might be similar to the following:
 *
 *   AC_MSG_CHECKING([for fast counters with rdtscp])
 *   AC_RUN_IFELSE(
 *     [AC_LANG_SOURCE([[
 *      #include <x86intrin.h>
 *      int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { int cpu; __builtin_ia32_rdtscp (&cpu); return 0; }]])],
 *     [have_rdtscp=yes],
 *     [have_rdtscp=no])
 *   AC_MSG_RESULT([$have_rdtscp])
 *   AS_IF([test "$have_rdtscp" = "yes"],
 *         [CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DEGG_HAVE_RDTSCP"])

 * using atomic operations (and therefore, memory barriers).
