- client: if an app version can't be used because the GPUs it needs
are all excluded, mark it and all its results as "coproc missing"
so that they won't be looked at in scheduling logic.
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=24317
where work fetch didn't work right in the presence of
multiple GPUs and <exclude_gpu> config options.
For example: suppose:
- you have 2 GPUs and 2 projects
- Project A is excluded from GPU 1
- you have lots of jobs for project A
Then the client won't try to fetch jobs from project B.
The problem had 2 parts:
a) round-robin simulation wasn't taking GPU exclusions into account.
In the above example, it would think that both GPUs had jobs.
I fixed this by computing the # of GPUs from each project
is excluded, and using this in the RR simulation.
b) Once this was done, I needed to make the client
request GPU jobs from project B rather than project A.
I did this with following policy:
If a project has excluded GPUs of a given type,
and has a runnable job of that type,
don't ask it for more work of that type.
Notes:
- the policy in b) is crude, and it means that work-buffer
preferences are ignored in some cases.
- neither a) nor b) takes into account app-level exclusions.
I could fix both of these with a lot of work,
but I'd rather move to a model in which dissimilar GPUs
are modeled as different resources,
which would remove the need for the <exclude_gpu> mechanism
in the first place.

otherwise make exactly 1 scheduler RPC requesting work,
and request only enough jobs to fill all devices.

If set: exit if
1) there are no tasks, and
2) either there was an active task on startup,

Note: if there are not active tasks on startup,
and the client makes a work request which doesn't return work,
it will exit.

runs GPU jobs in a seemingly random order,
or preempts GPU jobs needlessly.
The change has two parts:
1) sort the "results" vector by received_time,
so that the RR simulation processes GPU jobs FIFO.
2) in the CPU scheduler (earliest_deadline_result())
instead of choosing the earliest-deadline GPU job that
misses its deadline,
pick the earliest_deadline GPU from a project that
has a deadline miss for that GPU type
(this is what's done in the CPU case)

when they're preempting another GPU job.
The problem was as follows:
- job A is chosen to preempt job B
- we tell job B to quit, and initialize job A but don't start it;
however, we set if scheduler state to SCHEDULED
(rather than UNINITIALIZED)
- job B exits, and we start job A.
Since its state is not UNITIALIZED, we don't set up its slot dir.
- job A runs in an empty slot dir, doesn't find its files, and bombs out.
- client: add <slot_debug> option (prints messages about
allocation of slots, creating/removing files in slot dirs).

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.

This is for debugging apps (currently works only in Unix).
What it does: when running an app,
the client does everything except actually fork/exec the app,
i.e. it sets up the slot dir, creates shared mem segment etc.
It then continues as if the app were actually running,
and you can then manually run your app under a debugger
in the slot directory.
Note: the client won't notice the termination of your app.
- API, Unix: in situations where the timer thread wants to exit
(e.g. it notices a missing heartbeat).
don't directly call boinc_exit(),
since this touches data structures that the worker thread
may be using concurrently.
Instead, set a flag telling the worker thread to call boinc_exit()
(which it will do from its signal handler)
This is an attempt to fix problems reported by Bernd;
I haven't tested it.
