/*
 * The scheduler supports three different mechanisms, the initialization phase,
 * delta cycles, and timed notifications.
 *
 * INITIALIZATION PHASE
 *
 * The initialization phase has three parts:
 * 1. Run requested channel updates.
 * 2. Make processes which need to initialize runnable (methods and threads
 *    which didn't have dont_initialize called on them).
 * 3. Process delta notifications.
 *
 * First, the Kernel SimObject calls the update() method during its startup()
 * callback which handles the requested channel updates. The Kernel also
 * schedules an event to be run at time 0 with a slightly elevated priority
 * so that it happens before any "normal" event.
 *
 * When that t0 event happens, it calls the schedulers prepareForInit method
 * which performs step 2 above. That indirectly causes the scheduler's
 * readyEvent to be scheduled with slightly lowered priority, ensuring it
 * happens after any "normal" event.
 *
 * Because delta notifications are scheduled at the standard priority, all
 * of those events will happen next, performing step 3 above. Once they finish,
 * if the readyEvent was scheduled above, there shouldn't be any higher
 * priority events in front of it. When it runs, it will start the first
 * evaluate phase of the first delta cycle.
 *
 * DELTA CYCLE
 *
 * A delta cycle has three phases within it.
 * 1. The evaluate phase where runnable processes are allowed to run.
 * 2. The update phase where requested channel updates hapen.
 * 3. The delta notification phase where delta notifications happen.
 *
 * The readyEvent runs all three steps of the delta cycle. It first goes
 * through the list of runnable processes and executes them until the set is
 * empty, and then immediately runs the update phase. Since these are all part
 * of the same event, there's no chance for other events to intervene and
 * break the required order above.
 *
 * During the update phase above, the spec forbids any action which would make
 * a process runnable. That means that once the update phase finishes, the set
 * of runnable processes will be empty. There may, however, have been some
 * delta notifications/timeouts which will have been scheduled during either
 * the evaluate or update phase above. Those will have been accumulated in the
 * scheduler, and are now all executed.
 *
 * If any processes became runnable during the delta notification phase, the
 * readyEvent will have been scheduled and will be waiting and ready to run
 * again, effectively starting the next delta cycle.
 *
 * TIMED NOTIFICATION PHASE
 *
 * If no processes became runnable, the event queue will continue to process
 * events until it comes across an event which represents all the timed
 * notifications which are supposed to happen at a particular time. The object
 * which tracks them will execute all those notifications, and then destroy
 * itself. If the readyEvent is now ready to run, the next delta cycle will
 * start.
 *
 * PAUSE/STOP
 *
 * To inject a pause from sc_pause which should happen after the current delta
 * cycle's delta notification phase, an event is scheduled with a lower than
 * normal priority, but higher than the readyEvent. That ensures that any
 * delta notifications which are scheduled with normal priority will happen
 * first, since those are part of the current delta cycle. Then the pause
 * event will happen before the next readyEvent which would start the next
 * delta cycle. All of these events are scheduled for the current time, and so
 * would happen before any timed notifications went off.
 *
 * To inject a stop from sc_stop, the delta cycles should stop before even the
 * delta notifications have happened, but after the evaluate and update phases.
 * For that, a stop event with slightly higher than normal priority will be
 * scheduled so that it happens before any of the delta notification events
 * which are at normal priority.
 *
 * MAX RUN TIME
 *
 * When sc_start is called, it's possible to pass in a maximum time the
 * simulation should run to, at which point sc_pause is implicitly called. The
 * simulation is supposed to run up to the latest timed notification phase
 * which is less than or equal to the maximum time. In other words it should
 * run timed notifications at the maximum time, but not the subsequent evaluate
 * phase. That's implemented by scheduling an event at the max time with a
 * priority which is lower than all the others except the ready event. Timed
 * notifications will happen before it fires, but it will override any ready
 * event and prevent the evaluate phase from starting.
