Avery Pennarun 19049d52fc jobserver: allow overriding the parent jobserver in a subprocess.
Previously, if you passed a -j option to a redo process in a redo or
make process hierarchy with MAKEFLAGS already set, it would ignore the
-j option and continue using the jobserver provided by the parent.

With this change, we instead initialize a new jobserver with the
desired number of tokens, which is what GNU make does in the same
situation.  A typical use case for this is to force serialization of
build steps in a subtree (by using -j1).  In make, this is often useful
for "fixing" makefiles that haven't been written correctly for parallel
builds.  In redo, that happens much less often, but it's useful at
least in unit tests.

Passing -j1 is relatively harmless (the redo you are starting inherits
a token anyway, so it doesn't create any new tokens).  Passing -j > 1
is more risky, because it creates new tokens, thus increasing the level
of parallelism in the system.  Because this may not be what you wanted,
we print a warning when you pass -j > 1 to a sub-redo.  GNU make gives
a similar warning in this situation.

"""Implementation of a GNU make-compatible jobserver."""
#
# The basic idea is that both ends of a pipe (tokenfds) are shared with all
# subprocesses. At startup, we write one "token" into the pipe for each
# configured job. (So eg. redo -j20 will put 20 tokens in the pipe.) In
# order to do work, you must first obtain a token, by reading the other
# end of the pipe. When you're done working, you write the token back into
# the pipe so that someone else can grab it.
#
# The toplevel process in the hierarchy is what creates the pipes in the
# first place. Then it puts the pipe file descriptor numbers into MAKEFLAGS,
# so that subprocesses can pull them back out.
#
# As usual, edge cases make all this a bit tricky:
#
# - Every process is defined as owning a token at startup time. This makes
# sense because it's backward compatible with single-process make: if a
# subprocess neither reads nor writes the pipe, then it has exactly one
# token, so it's allowed to do one thread of work.
#
# - Thus, for symmetry, processes also must own a token at exit time.
#
# - In turn, to make *that* work, a parent process must destroy *its* token
# upon launching a subprocess. (Destroy, not release, because the
# subprocess has created its own token.) It can try to obtain another
# token, but if none are available, it has to stop work until one of its
# subprocesses finishes. When the subprocess finishes, its token is
# destroyed, so the parent creates a new one.
#
# - If our process is going to stop and wait for a lock (eg. because we
# depend on a target and someone else is already building that target),
# we must give up our token. Otherwise, we're sucking up a "thread" (a
# unit of parallelism) just to do nothing. If enough processes are waiting
# on a particular lock, then the process building that target might end up
# with only a single token, and everything gets serialized.
#
# - Unfortunately this leads to a problem: if we give up our token, we then
# have to re-acquire a token before exiting, even if we want to exit with
# an error code.
#
# - redo-log wants to linearize output so that it always prints log messages
# in the order jobs were started; but because of the above, a job being
# logged might end up with no tokens for a long time, waiting for some
# other branch of the build to complete.
#
# As a result, we extend beyond GNU make's model and make things even more
# complicated. We add a second pipe, cheatfds, which we use to "cheat" on
# tokens if our particular job is in the foreground (ie. is the one
# currently being tailed by redo-log -f). We add at most one token per
# redo-log instance. If we are the foreground task, and we need a token,
# and we don't have a token, and we don't have any subtasks (because if we
# had a subtask, then we're not in the foreground), we synthesize our own
# token by incrementing _mytokens and _cheats, but we don't read from
# tokenfds. Then, when it's time to give up our token again, we also won't
# write back to tokenfds, so the synthesized token disappears.
#
# Of course, all that then leads to *another* problem: every process must
# hold a *real* token when it exits, because its parent has given up a
# *real* token in order to start this subprocess. If we're holding a cheat
# token when it's time to exit, then we can't meet this requirement. The
# obvious thing to do would be to give up the cheat token and wait for a
# real token, but that might take a very long time, and if we're the last
# thing preventing our parent from exiting, then redo-log will sit around
# following our parent until we finally get a token so we can exit,
# defeating the whole purpose of cheating. Instead of waiting, we write our
# "cheater" token to cheatfds. Then, any task, upon noticing one of its
# subprocesses has finished, will check to see if there are any tokens on
# cheatfds; if so, it will remove one of them and *not* re-create its
# child's token, thus destroying the cheater token from earlier, and restoring
# balance.
#
# Sorry this is so complicated. I couldn't think of a way to make it
# simpler :)
