/* Scalar Timestamp.  We have to store a lot of these, so there is
   some effort to make them as small as possible.  Logically they are
   a pair, (Thr*, ULong), but that takes 16 bytes on a 64-bit target.
   We pack it into 64 bits by representing the Thr* using a ThrID, a
   small integer (18 bits), and a 46 bit integer for the timestamp
   number.  The 46/18 split is arbitary, but has the effect that
   Helgrind can only handle programs that create 2^18 or fewer threads
   over their entire lifetime, and have no more than 2^46 timestamp
   ticks (synchronisation operations on the same thread).

   This doesn't seem like much of a limitation.  2^46 ticks is
   7.06e+13, and if each tick (optimistically) takes the machine 1000
   cycles to process, then the minimum time to process that many ticks
   at a clock rate of 5 GHz is 162.9 days.  And that's doing nothing
   but VTS ticks, which isn't realistic.

   NB1: SCALARTS_N_THRBITS must be 29 or lower.  The obvious limit is
   32 since a ThrID is a UInt.  29 comes from the fact that
   'Thr_n_RCEC', which records information about old accesses, packs
   not only a ThrID but also 2+1 other bits (access size and
   writeness) in a UInt, hence limiting size to 32-(2+1) == 29.

   NB2: thrid values are issued upwards from 1024, and values less
   than that aren't valid.  This isn't per se necessary (any order
   will do, so long as they are unique), but it does help ensure they
   are less likely to get confused with the various other kinds of
   small-integer thread ids drifting around (eg, TId).  See also NB5.

   NB3: this probably also relies on the fact that Thr's are never
   deallocated -- they exist forever.  Hence the 1-1 mapping from
   Thr's to thrid values (set up in Thr__new) persists forever.

   NB4: temp_max_sized_VTS is allocated at startup and never freed.
   It is a maximum sized VTS, so has (1 << SCALARTS_N_TYMBITS)
   ScalarTSs.  So we can't make SCALARTS_N_THRBITS too large without
   making the memory use for this go sky-high.  With
   SCALARTS_N_THRBITS at 18, it occupies 2MB of memory, which seems
   like an OK tradeoff.  If more than 256k threads need to be
   supported, we could change SCALARTS_N_THRBITS to 20, which would
   facilitate supporting 1 million threads at the cost of 8MB storage
   for temp_max_sized_VTS.

   NB5: the conflicting-map mechanism (Thr_n_RCEC, specifically) uses
   ThrID == 0 to denote an empty Thr_n_RCEC record.  So ThrID == 0
   must never be a valid ThrID.  Given NB2 that's OK.

/* This is in two parts:

   1. A hash table of RCECs.  This is a set of reference-counted stack
      traces.  When the reference count of a stack trace becomes zero,
      it is removed from the set and freed up.  The intent is to have
      a set of stack traces which can be referred to from (2), but to
      only represent each one once.  The set is indexed/searched by
      ordering on the stack trace vectors.

   2. A SparseWA of OldRefs.  These store information about each old
      ref that we need to record.  It is indexed by address of the
      location for which the information is recorded.  For LRU
      purposes, each OldRef in the SparseWA is also on a doubly
      linked list maintaining the order in which the OldRef were most
      recently accessed.

      The important part of an OldRef is, however, its accs[] array.
      This is an array of N_OLDREF_ACCS which binds (thread, R/W,
      size) triples to RCECs.  This allows us to collect the last
      access-traceback by up to N_OLDREF_ACCS different triples for
      this location.  The accs[] array is a MTF-array.  If a binding
      falls off the end, that's too bad -- we will lose info about
      that triple's access to this location.

      We allocate a maximum of VG_(clo_conflict_cache_size) OldRef.
      Then we do exact LRU discarding.  For each discarded OldRef we must
      of course decrement the reference count on the all RCECs it
      refers to, in order that entries from (1) eventually get
      discarded too.

   A major improvement in reliability of this mechanism would be to
   have a dynamically sized OldRef.accs[] array, so no entries ever
   fall off the end.  In investigations (Dec 08) it appears that a
   major cause for the non-availability of conflicting-access traces
   in race reports is caused by the fixed size of this array.  I
   suspect for most OldRefs, only a few entries are used, but for a
   minority of cases there is an overflow, leading to info lossage.
   Investigations also suggest this is very workload and scheduling
   sensitive.  Therefore a dynamic sizing would be better.

   However, dynamic sizing would defeat the use of a PoolAllocator
   for OldRef structures.  And that's important for performance.  So
   it's not straightforward to do.

/* Some notes on the H1 history mechanism:

   Transition rules are:

   read_{Kr,Kw}(Cr,Cw)  = (Cr,           Cr `join` Kw)
   write_{Kr,Kw}(Cr,Cw) = (Cr `join` Kw, Cr `join` Kw)

   After any access by a thread T to a location L, L's constraint pair
   (Cr,Cw) has Cw[T] == T's Kw[T], that is, == T's scalar W-clock.

   After a race by thread T conflicting with some previous access by
   some other thread U, for a location with constraint (before
   processing the later access) (Cr,Cw), then Cw[U] is the segment in
   which the previously access lies.

   Hence in record_race_info, we pass in Cfailed and Kfailed, which
   are compared so as to find out which thread(s) this access
   conflicts with.  Once that is established, we also require the
   pre-update Cw for the location, so we can index into it for those
   threads, to get the scalar clock values for the point at which the
   former accesses were made.  (In fact we only bother to do any of
   this for an arbitrarily chosen one of the conflicting threads, as
   that's simpler, it avoids flooding the user with vast amounts of
   mostly useless information, and because the program is wrong if it
   contains any races at all -- so we don't really need to show all
   conflicting access pairs initially, so long as we only show none if
   none exist).

   ---

   That requires the auxiliary proof that 

      (Cr `join` Kw)[T] == Kw[T]

   Why should that be true?  Because for any thread T, Kw[T] >= the
   scalar clock value for T known by any other thread.  In other
   words, because T's value for its own scalar clock is at least as up
   to date as the value for it known by any other thread (that is true
   for both the R- and W- scalar clocks).  Hence no other thread will
   be able to feed in a value for that element (indirectly via a
   constraint) which will exceed Kw[T], and hence the join cannot
   cause that particular element to advance.
