Do first read from socket before opening the disk file
(an attempt to fix filesystem lockups on WCG).
Increase buffer size from 16KB to 256KB.

while writing to them.
It's not clear to me that this locking is beneficial,
and it may be causing filesystem problems at WCG

if you have
*pbuf = HeapAlloc(...)
then you need
if (*pbuf == NULL)
not
if (pbuf == NULL)

This will show pending uploads in the Transfers tab.
- file_upload_handler: fix message to client when can't acquire lock
- client: parse <alt_platform> in state file correctly

Compatibility: if your project is using upload signatures:
- set ignore_upload_certificates
- disable job creation
- let your job queue drain
- upgrade to new server software
- clear ignore_upload_certificates
- enable job creation

don't just print an error message;
lseek() back to the offset point.
Otherwise we can end up with duplication in the file.

- daily quota mechanism
- reliable mechanism (accelerated retries)
- "trusted" mechanism (adaptive replication)
- scheduler: enforce host scale probation only for apps with
host_scale_check set.
- validator: do scale probation on invalid results
(need this in addition to error and timeout cases)
- feeder: update app version scales every 10 min, not 10 sec
- back-end apps: support --foo as well as -foo for options
Notes:
- If you have, say, cuda, cuda23 and cuda_fermi plan classes,
a host will have separate quotas for each one.
That means it could error out on 100 jobs for cuda_fermi,
and when its quota goes to zero,
error out on 100 jobs for cuda23, etc.
This is intentional; there may be cases where one version
works but not the others.
- host.error_rate and host.max_results_day are deprecated
TODO:
- the values in the app table for limits on jobs in progress etc.
should override rather than config.xml.
Implementation notes:
scheduler:
process_request():
read all host_app_versions for host at start;
Compute "reliable" and "trusted" for each one.
write modified records at end
get_app_version():
add "reliable_only" arg; if set, use only reliable versions
skip over-quota versions
Multi-pass scheduling: if have at least one reliable version,
do a pass for jobs that need reliable,
and use only reliable versions.
Then clear best_app_versions cache.
Score-based scheduling: for need-reliable jobs,
it will pick the fastest version,
then give a score bonus if that version happens to be reliable.
When get back a successful result from client:
increase daily quota
When get back an error result from client:
impose scale probation
decrease daily quota if not aborted
Validator:
when handling a WU, create a vector of HOST_APP_VERSION
parallel to vector of RESULT.
Pass it to assign_credit_set().
Make copies of originals so we can update only modified ones
update HOST_APP_VERSION error rates
Transitioner:
decrease quota on timeout

- GUI RPC and manager: include project backoff in FILE_TRANSFER,
so that manager gets up-to-date value

- client (Unix): if client crashes while benchmark processes are going,
make sure they detect this and exit.
- back-end programs: remove hardwired assumptions about
what directory they run in, and hence where config.xml is.
E.g., daemons look for it in "..", others expect it in current dir.
New approach: all the programs look for the project dir as follows:
1) the environment var BOINC_PROJECT_DIR, if defined
2) the current dir, if config.xml is there.
3) else ".."
This means you can run programs in either proj/bin/ or proj/,
or (using BOINC_PROJECT_DIR) you can keep executables
outside of the project dir.

which of those files to include
- Modified MAC address check to work on some non-Linux unixes.
(mac_address.cpp)
- Added suggested change to "already attached to project" checking.
(ProjectInfoPage.cpp)
- changed includes of standard c header files to their c++ equivalents
(i.e. replaced <stdio.h> with <cstdio>) for namespace protection.
- replaced "using namespace std;" with more explicit "using std::function" in
several files.
- Fixed bug in checking whether the os is OS/2 and added conditional OS_OS2
to the build environment. (boinc_platform.m4,configure.ac)
- Changed build environment to not use -nostandardlibs unless we are using
G++ and static linkage is specified. (configure.ac)
- Added makefiles and package building files for solaris CSW package manager.
- Fixed bug with attempting to find login name using logname. (configure.ac)
- Added ifdef HAVE_* protection around some include files commonly found in
sys.
- Added support for unified binary for x86_64/i686-pc-solaris.
(cs_platforms.cpp)
- generate_host_cpid() now uses MAC address on non-linux unix.
(hostinfo_network.cpp)
- Macro BOINC_SET_COMPILE_FLAGS now doesn't check gcc only flags on non-gcc
compilers. (boinc_set_compile_flags.m4)
- Library compiles no longer depend upon the library extension or require
the library to be prefixed with lib.
- More fixes for fcgi builds.
- Added declaration of "struct ether_addr" and ether_ntoa(). Have not yet
implemented ether_ntoa() for machines that don't have it, or where it is
buggy. (unix_util.h)
- Added FCGI::perror() which calls FCGI_perror(). (boinc_fcgi.{h,cpp})
- Fixed library Makefiles so that all required headers get installed.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=17388
- Update to libtool 1.5.24
- build environment: Major automake changes that I've been warning about
for some time.
- Now uses libtool to build libraries.
- Builds separate boinc_fcgi and sched_fcgi libraries for use with
FCGI server components.
- New macro "BOINC_CHECK_LIB_WITH" that executes a "AC_CHECK_LIB" on
a library only if --with-libname[=DIR] is specified on the configure
command line. This is to allow inclusion of libraries when the
ssl, gtk, wxWidgets, or other configuration is incorrect for static
libraries.
- Added a lot of "--with-*" for some libraries that might be required for
static builds.
- The sea directory has been moved to packages/generic. Changes to sea
and the associated scripts might be required to better make use of the
staging mechanism and shared libraries.
- Fixed includes of boinc_fcgi.h in many files.
- Fixed places where FCGI_FILE needs to be used implicitly.
- Fixed missing define of _SC_PAGESIZE on hosts that define only
_SC_PAGE_SIZE.
- Moved build of boinc_cmd (and source file) from lib to client
