/* This file is the API used to launch any background computation on a trace */

/* lttvwindowtraces
 *
 * This API consists in two main parts. The first one is for the background
 * computation provider and the second is for the viewer which needs this
 * information.
 *
 * A computation provider, i.e. a statistics computation module or a state
 * computation module, have two things in common : they append data to a trace
 * in an extensible container (LttvAttributes). This extended information, once
 * computed, can be kept all along with the trace and does not need to be
 * recomputed : a computation done on a trace must result in a identical result
 * each time it is done.
 *
 * This API provides functions for computation provider to register their
 * computation functions (or computation functions insertion and removal
 * functions). Once the computation provider is registered with its module name,
 * extended computation for a trace can be requested by any viewer by specifying
 * the module name, as we will describe in a moment.
 *
 * A viewer which needs extended information about a trace must ask for it to be
 * computed by doing a background computation request. It may also ask to be
 * notified of the completion of its request by doing a notify request.
 *
 * Before asking for the computation, it must check for its readiness. If it is
 * ready, the information has already been computed, so it is ready to use. If
 * the information is not ready, in must check whether or not the processing of
 * this task is in progress. If it is, it must not do any background computation
 * request. It must only do a background notification request of the current
 * processing to be informed of its completion. If the information is not ready
 * and not being processed, then the viewer may do a background computation
 * request and add a notify request to the notify queue.
 *
 * When a context takes control of a trace, it must lock the trace. This is a
 * way of ensuring that not conflict will occur between two traceset contexts
 * and shared traces. It will generate an error if a context try to get a lock
 * on a trace what is not unlocked. Upon every trace locking,
 * lttv_process_traceset_synchronize_tracefiles should be used to resynchronize
 * the traces with the trace context information.
 *
 * The usefulness of the lock in this framework can be questionable in a
 * single threaded environment, but can be great in the eventuality of
 * multiple threads.
