Detailed Description

Queue of events sorted in time order.

Events are scheduled (inserted into the event queue) using the schedule() method. This method either inserts a synchronous or asynchronous event.

Synchronous events are scheduled using schedule() method with the argument 'global' set to false (default). This should only be done from a thread holding the event queue lock (EventQueue::service_mutex). The lock is always held when an event handler is called, it can therefore always insert events into its own event queue unless it voluntarily releases the lock.

Events can be scheduled across thread (and event queue borders) by either scheduling asynchronous events or taking the target event queue's lock. However, the lock should never be taken directly since this is likely to cause deadlocks. Instead, code that needs to schedule events in other event queues should temporarily release its own queue and lock the new queue. This prevents deadlocks since a single thread never owns more than one event queue lock. This functionality is provided by the ScopedMigration helper class. Note that temporarily migrating between event queues can make the simulation non-deterministic, it should therefore be limited to cases where that can be tolerated (e.g., handling asynchronous IO or fast-forwarding in KVM).

Asynchronous events can also be scheduled using the normal schedule() method with the 'global' parameter set to true. Unlike the previous queue migration strategy, this strategy is fully deterministic. This causes the event to be inserted in a separate queue of asynchronous events (async_queue), which is merged main event queue at the end of each simulation quantum (by calling the handleAsyncInsertions() method). Note that this implies that such events must happen at least one simulation quantum into the future, otherwise they risk being scheduled in the past by handleAsyncInsertions().

Member Function Documentation

◆ asyncInsert()

void EventQueue::asyncInsert ( Event * event )

private

Function for adding events to the async queue.

The added events are added to main event queue later. Threads, other than the owning thread, should call this function instead of insert().

Referenced by schedule().

◆ checkpointReschedule()

void EventQueue::checkpointReschedule ( Event * event )

Reschedule an event after a checkpoint.

Since events don't know which event queue they belong to, parent objects need to reschedule events themselves. This method conditionally schedules an event that has the Scheduled flag set. It should be called by parent objects after unserializing an object.

Only use this method after unserializing an Event.

Insert / remove event from the queue.

Should only be called by thread operating this queue.

◆ lock()

void EventQueue::lock ( )

inline

Provide an interface for locking/unlocking the event queue.

Do NOT use these methods directly unless you really know what you are doing. Incorrect use can easily lead to simulator deadlocks.

function for replacing the head of the event queue, so that a different set of events can run without disturbing events that have already been scheduled.

Already scheduled events can be processed by replacing the original head back. USING THIS FUNCTION CAN BE DANGEROUS TO THE HEALTH OF THE SIMULATOR. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE.

◆ service_mutex

std::mutex EventQueue::service_mutex

private

Lock protecting event handling.

This lock is always taken when servicing events. It is assumed that the thread scheduling new events (not asynchronous events though) have taken this lock. This is normally done by serviceOne() since new events are typically scheduled as a response to an earlier event.

This lock is intended to be used to temporarily steal an event queue to support inter-thread communication when some deterministic timing can be sacrificed for speed. For example, the KVM CPU can use this support to access devices running in a different thread.
