2019-09-12Remove go_test from go_stateify and go_marshalMichael Pratt
They are no-ops, so the standard rule works fine. PiperOrigin-RevId: 268776264
2019-09-06Indicate flipcall synchronization to the Go race detector.Jamie Liu
Since each Endpoint has a distinct mapping of the packet window, the Go race detector does not recognize accesses by connected Endpoints to be related. This means that this change isn't necessary for the Go race detector to accept accesses of flipcall.Endpoint.Data(), but it *is* necessary for it to accept accesses to shared variables outside the scope of flipcall that are synchronized by flipcall.Endpoint state; see updated test for an example. RaceReleaseMerge is needed (instead of RaceRelease) because calls to raceBecomeInactive() from *unrelated* Endpoints can occur in any order. (DowngradableRWMutex.RUnlock() has a similar property: calls to RUnlock() on the same DowngradableRWMutex from different goroutines can occur in any order. Remove the TODO asking to explain this now that this is understood.) PiperOrigin-RevId: 267705325
2019-07-31Flipcall refinements.Jamie Liu
Note that some of these changes affect the protocol in backward-incompatible ways. - Replace use of "initially-active" and "initially-inactive" with "client" and "server" respectively for clarity. - Fix a race condition involving Endpoint.Shutdown() by repeatedly invoking FUTEX_WAKE until it is confirmed that no local thread is blocked in FUTEX_WAIT. - Drop flipcall.ControlMode.

Flipcall is a (conceptually) simple local-only RPC mechanism. Compared to unet, Flipcall does not support passing FDs (support for which will be provided out of band by another package), requires users to establish connections manually, and requires user management of concurrency since each connected Endpoint pair supports only a single RPC at a time; however, it improves performance by using shared memory for data (reducing memory copies) and using futexes for control signaling (which is much cheaper than sendto/recvfrom/sendmsg/recvmsg).
