When the decoder process is faster than the player process, all
decodedd buffers are full at some point in time. The decoder has to
wait for buffers to become free (finished playing). It used to do
this by polling the buffer status 100 times a second.
This generates a lot of unnecessary CPU wakeups. This patch adds a
way for the player process to notify the decoder process that it may
continue its work.
We could use pthread_cond for that, unfortunately inter-process
mutexes/conds are not supported by some kernels (Linux), so we cannot
use this light-weight method until mpd moves to using threads instead
of processes. The other method would be semaphores, which
historically are global resources with a unique name; this historic
API is cumbersome, and I wanted to avoid it.
I came up with a quite naive solution for now: I create an anonymous
pipe with pipe(), and the decoder process reads on that pipe. Until
the player process sends data on it as a signal, the decoder process
blocks.
This can be optimized in a number of ways:
- if the decoder process is still working (instead of waiting for
buffers), we could save the write() system call, since there is
nobody waiting for the notification.
[ew: I tried this using a counter in shared memory, didn't help]
- the pipe buffer will be full at some point, when the decoder thread
is too slow. For this reason, the writer side of the pipe is
non-blocking, and mpd can ignore the resulting EWOULDBLOCK.
- since we have shared memory, we could check whether somebody is
actually waiting without a context switch, and we could just not
write the notification byte.
[ew: tried same method/result as first point above]
- if there is already a notification in the pipe, we could also not
write another one.
[ew: tried same method/result as first/third points above]
- the decoder will only consume 64 bytes at a time. If the pipe
buffer is full, this will result in a lot of read() invocations.
This does not hurt badly, but on a heavily loaded system, this might
add a little bit more load. The preceding optimizations however
are able eliminate the this.
- finally, we should use another method for inter process
notifications - maybe kill() or just make mpd use threads, finally.
In spite of all these possibilities to optimize this code further,
this pipe notification trick is faster than the 100 Hz poll. On my
machine, it reduced the number of wakeups to less than 30%.

This reduces the text size of the binary slightly when zeroconf
support is not built, and keeps the interface code cleaner as
well.

thread-safety work in preparation for rewrite to use pthreads
Expect no regressions against trunk (r7078), possibly minor
performance improvements in update (due to fewer heap
allocations), but increased stack usage.
Applied the following patches:
* maxpath_str for reentrancy (temporary fix, reverted)
* path: start working on thread-safe variants of these methods
* Re-entrancy work on path/character-set conversions
* directory.c: exploreDirectory() use reentrant functions here
* directory/update: more use of reentrant functions + cleanups
* string_toupper: a strdup-less version of strDupToUpper
* get_song_url: a static-variable-free version of getSongUrl()
* Use reentrant/thread-safe get_song_url everywhere
* replace rmp2amp with the reentrant version, rmp2amp_r
* Get rid of the non-reentrant/non-thread-safe rpp2app, too.
* buffer2array: assert strdup() returns a usable value in unit tests
* replace utf8ToFsCharset and fsCharsetToUtf8 with thread-safe variants
* fix storing playlists w/o absolute paths
* parent_path(), a reentrant version of parentPath()
* parentPath => parent_path for reentrancy and thread-safety
* allow "make test" to automatically run embedded unit tests
* remove convStrDup() and maxpath_str()
* use MPD_PATH_MAX everywhere instead of MAXPATHLEN
* path: get rid of appendSlash, pfx_path and just use pfx_dir
* get_song_url: fix the ability to play songs in the top-level music_directory

I'll get around to it. Probably best just starting from scratch anyhow.

This patch massively reduces the amount of heap allocations at
the interface/command layer. Most commands with minimal output
should not allocate memory from the heap at all. Things like
repeatedly polling status, currentsong, and volume changes
should be faster as a result, and more importantly, not a source
of memory fragmentation.
These changes should be safe in that there's no way for a
remote-client to corrupt memory or otherwise do bad stuff to
MPD, but an extra set of eyes to review would be good. Of
course there's never any warranty :)
No longer do we use FILE * structures in the interface, which means
we don't have to allocate any new memory for most connections.
Now, before you go on about losing the buffering that FILE *
+implies+, remember that myfprintf() never took advantage of
any of the stdio buffering features.
To reduce the diff and make bugs easier to spot in the diff,
I've kept myfprintf in places where we write to files (and not
network interfaces). Expect myfprintf to go away entirely soon
(we'll use fprintf for writing regular files).

making it more presentable isn't something I'm willing to do before 0.12. It will likely be added back after 0.12, along with some very experimental stuff to make it more usable.

sparse is a semantic parser developed for the Linux kernel,
but works for any project written (ANSI) C.
You can get sparse via git here:
