msach@0 1 /*
msach@0 2 * This describes a best effort communication channel. Mainly designed for
msach@0 3 * communication between Core-Controllers, so they can inform each other about
msach@0 4 * their status and pass work around. This is to avoid idling cores that occupy
msach@0 5 * the Masterlock.
msach@0 6 *
msach@0 7 * The communication entities poll a central trigger counter that increases when
msach@0 8 * there are new messages. However it's not guaranteed that the increase of the
msach@0 9 * counter reflects the number of new messages.
msach@0 10 *
msach@0 11 * The messages consist of a single 64bit word so it can be written in one
msach@0 12 * operation and therefore avoiding inconsistent messages.
msach@0 13 *
msach@0 14 * The messages are handled with a handler function provided by the receiver
msach@0 15 * when acquiring the communication endpoint.
msach@0 16 *
msach@0 17 * The message passing is handled by a central struct that is used w/o any lock.
msach@0 18 * It consists of a array messages for the number of communicating entities. The
msach@0 19 * number of entities is fixed at initialization.
