// This file implements task stops, which represent the equivalent of Linux's
// uninterruptible sleep states in a way that is compatible with save/restore.
// Task stops comprise both internal stops (which form part of the task's
// "normal" control flow) and external stops (which do not); see README.md for
// details.
//
// There are multiple interfaces for interacting with stops because there are
// multiple cases to consider:
//
// - A task goroutine can begin a stop on its associated task (e.g. a
// vfork() syscall stopping the calling task until the child task releases its
// MM). In this case, calling Task.interrupt is both unnecessary (the task
// goroutine obviously cannot be blocked in Task.block or executing application
// code) and undesirable (as it may spuriously interrupt a in-progress
// syscall).
//
// Beginning internal stops in this case is implemented by
// Task.beginInternalStop / Task.beginInternalStopLocked. As of this writing,
// there are no instances of this case that begin external stops, except for
// autosave; however, autosave terminates the sentry without ending the
// external stop, so the spurious interrupt is moot.
//
// - An arbitrary goroutine can begin a stop on an unrelated task (e.g. all
// tasks being stopped in preparation for state checkpointing). If the task
// goroutine may be in Task.block or executing application code, it must be
// interrupted by Task.interrupt for it to actually enter the stop; since,
// strictly speaking, we have no way of determining this, we call
// Task.interrupt unconditionally.
//
// Beginning external stops in this case is implemented by
// Task.BeginExternalStop. As of this writing, there are no instances of this
// case that begin internal stops.
//
// - An arbitrary goroutine can end a stop on an unrelated task (e.g. an
// exiting task resuming a sibling task that has been blocked in an execve()
// syscall waiting for other tasks to exit). In this case, Task.endStopCond
// must be notified to kick the task goroutine out of Task.doStop.
//
// Ending internal stops in this case is implemented by
// Task.endInternalStopLocked. Ending external stops in this case is
// implemented by Task.EndExternalStop.
//
// - Hypothetically, a task goroutine can end an internal stop on its
// associated task. As of this writing, there are no instances of this case.
// However, any instances of this case could still use the above functions,
// since notifying Task.endStopCond would be unnecessary but harmless.

// A TaskStop is a condition visible to the task control flow graph that
// prevents a task goroutine from running or exiting, i.e. an internal stop.
//
// NOTE(b/30793614): Most TaskStops don't contain any data; they're
// distinguished by their type. The obvious way to implement such a TaskStop
// is:
//
//     type groupStop struct{}
//     func (groupStop) Killable() bool { return true }
//     ...
//     t.beginInternalStop(groupStop{})
//
// However, this doesn't work because the state package can't serialize values,
// only pointers. Furthermore, the correctness of save/restore depends on the
// ability to pass a TaskStop to endInternalStop that will compare equal to the
// TaskStop that was passed to beginInternalStop, even if a save/restore cycle
// occurred between the two. As a result, the current idiom is to always use a
// typecast nil for data-free TaskStops:
//
//     type groupStop struct{}
//     func (*groupStop) Killable() bool { return true }
//     ...
//     t.beginInternalStop((*groupStop)(nil))
//
// This is pretty gross, but the alternatives seem grosser.
