swung0x48 aba329cc53 [Docs] (Disaggregated): P6's plan and contract draft; the working notes move from a local directory into the repository
Two things land together: the plan and contract draft P6 needs before it starts, and the
working notes that until now existed on exactly one machine.

1. P6's plan and contract draft (neither started; not one line of code)

     docs/Disaggregated/P6-SPAWN-PLAN.md      the package plan
     docs/Disaggregated/P6-CONTRACT-DRAFT.md  the contract draft (moves to
                                              MG_Remote/CONTRACT-P6.md when c6 lands)

   The three findings that mattered, all written into the documents:

   a. P6 is SMALLER than its roadmap cell suggests. The transport primitives are already in
      the tree and already tested: SocketDoorbell including hangup detection and the two
      lost-wakeup fences (Doorbell.cpp:211-360, four cases in FdPassingTest), SCM_RIGHTS fd
      passing, ShmSegment::Adopt, and the SurfaceOp / WindowKind schema already defined in
      protocol.fbs. inproc uses a real second shm mapping rather than an alias, and
      SessionRings.h:22-28 says that was done so today is not the first time it runs. P6 is
      assembly plus a control plane plus a process, not "write a socket transport".

   b. The evidence for "P6 is only a transport swap" has EXPIRED. It was bought by P5c, whose
      audit found 59 direct memory accesses in a tree that already looked clean. P5e changed
      the tree again. So the first package, a6, is a read-only audit that writes no code, and
      every contract row that depends on it is marked PENDING a6 rather than decided in
      advance.

   c. P6 does not get a game running on the phone. ANativeWindow* is meaningless in the child,
      and protocol.fbs:186-196's own comment says Android transfers the window out of band -
      that band is P12. P6 lands pbuffer / surfaceless / offscreen, which is what HeadlessGL,
      the split-equivalent lane and trace replay need, and which is exactly what P6's own exit
      gate measures. A real window reaching the server is a named refusal. This gets its own
      section because "P6 is done" would otherwise read as "the game runs now".

   The contract adds rule G: a role may not name a process-local handle. It extends P5c's
   rule E (a role may not name the other role's memory) from memory to identity - EGLDisplay /
   EGLSurface / EGLContext / ANativeWindow* / fd number / pid / mapped address either cross as
   a token this contract defines or they do not cross, and a descriptor crosses only through
   SCM_RIGHTS, where the kernel renumbers it.

   What P5e left for P6 gets its own section. The latch semantics are already designed
   (ARCHITECTURE.md:504) and are copied unchanged. What is new is that after run-ahead the
   client no longer waits while the peer process can DIE: the client holds records that were
   published and will never be applied, and Android's freezer suspends the child without
   closing anything. So slow and dead must be distinguishable WITHOUT a timeout threshold.
   That is P6's only new design; everything else is carriage. It shares a predicate with E1's
   outstanding re-specification (ID-122), and the two should be designed together.

   Two gates carried over from P5e's lessons: G2 requires integration-spawn's test-name set to
   match integration-split's name for name, because a differing set means the lane is quietly
   running less; and the arm-proof gate requires every entry to record the child pid and
   transport=spawn in its OWN private log - ID-124 established that this kind of false green
   really happens, and a spawn lane that actually ran monolith would pass every other gate.
   S2's shape must be settled before it is written, and the document says why: E1 is the
   cautionary case.

2. The working notes move into the repository (docs/Disaggregated/notes/, 415 .md files)

   ROADMAP / CURRENT_STAGE_PROGRESS / MEASUREMENTS cite ruling numbers, audit line numbers and
   the provenance of gate figures from ~/w7/notes/, a directory that exists on one machine and
   is under no version control. A record cited hundreds of times that lives only locally is not
   a record, so it moves in whole, with its directory structure intact.

   Only .md moves. Scripts, run logs, census and gate result JSON, patches, APKs and nm dumps
   stay where they are: they are evidence DATA rather than documents - large, regenerated per
   run, and mostly carrying absolute paths and device serials that mean something only on the
   machine that produced them. The mapping and this split are written in
   docs/Disaggregated/notes/README.md.

   Two exceptions are recorded there too: P6's BRIEF has been promoted to a first-class
   document and keeps no copy under notes/, so the two cannot drift apart; and recovered/ holds
   material salvaged from failed workflow runs, which may duplicate the like-named phase
   directories and is kept because a few of those were the only complete version at the time.

   CI's citation lint takes docs/Disaggregated/*.md only (non-recursive), and notes/ is
   deliberately outside it: those notes' file:line citations were written against their own
   code heads, and resolving them against today's HEAD would fail wholesale - which is not an
   error, it is their correct state as a historical record. To check one, use the revision it
   declares (--rev).

3. Inconsistencies fixed in passing

   - README.md's status line still said P5e was in progress while the stage table already said
     closed.
   - CURRENT_STAGE_PROGRESS's next-step item 1 still listed the exit gate as pending, though
     (a) and (b) were run in the previous commit; rewritten to closed plus the one item that
     actually remains (E1).
   - ROADMAP's P6 row still had the pre-phase plan in three of its cells; it now carries the
     package order, the scope boundary and the two new gates.

Checked with check_doc_citations.py: 125 citations across docs/Disaggregated/*.md, 0 problems.

Raw Blame History

MGPipe:MobileGL 前后端拆分

状态:P0–P5e 已收官(P5e 2026-09-19 收官,附一条具名未决:E1 对照需按 ID-114 重新定义),当前在 P6 spawn transport(计划 P6-SPAWN-PLAN.md、契约草稿 P6-CONTRACT-DRAFT.md,均尚未开工)。P5e:run-ahead 已武装(十二包落地,strict 车道硬绿 179/179、integration-gpu 1357/1357、pull/push/split 三个构建 flavour 全绿;设备上渲染距离 32 下 inproc 已与 monolith 齐平,相对它取代的 lockstep p50 +69%。报告 P5E-RUNAHEAD.md)(P5c 2026-09-17 b88e8487;P5d 三轮 2026-09-18,代码头 1f8de61b——inproc 性能专项,VD12 Minecraft 上 split 从 7-13 fps 拉到 103-106 fps、client 线程 CPU/帧从 15 ms 到 9.2 ms,报告 P5D-INPROC-PERFORMANCE.md)。目标负载(四条 Minecraft A/B trace)已在 Redmi Adreno 830 上以 inproc(独立 apply 线程)双后端渲染,barrier tax 首次实测;P5c 把审计出的 59 处不经 wire 的直接内存访问全部归零(契约 MobileGL/MG_Remote/CONTRACT-P5C.md),inproc 成为只经 wire 交换的诚实两角色。P6 只是传输替换——但这句话的证据是 P5c 时代的,P6 的第一个包是重新证明它的只读审计。当前头、逐门数字与开放项见 CURRENT_STAGE_PROGRESS.md。

性能纪律(2026-09-08 起):逐线程 CPU 与 tracker 绝对 ns 对着 pull 臂基线记录,不作阻塞门;专门的优化阶段排在路线图推完之后。

是什么

MGPipe 是 MobileGL 前端(MG_State + MG_Impl)与后端(MG_Backend:Espryt = DirectGLES、Magma = DirectVulkan)之间的一份显式接口:gallium 形状、句柄寻址、只推不拉。它取代后端每 draw 直接读 MG_State::pGLContext 的做法,让后端拥有自己的状态机,并在此之上把前后端拆到两个线程(inproc,已达成)与两个进程(spawn,P6)。

接口本身是可独立交付的产物:即使 IPC 永不上线,inproc 就是 monolith 的渲染线程。

架构(一段)

应用 GL 调用
  → MG_Impl(GL 语义、错误、shadow)
  → MG_Impl/Pipe/Tracker:在每条 verb 之前 validate,把变化推成 MGPipe 调用
  → MGPipeScreen / MGPipeContext(两张函数指针表,79 条调用,单一真相源 PipeCalls.def)
      monolith:直调 backend 函数          split:发射器写 SEG_CMD ring → server applier(apply 线程)
  → server 对象表(按 {slot, gen} 句柄索引的数组)+ PipeInputs(后端被推送的状态块)
  → MG_Backend(Espryt / Magma),两个后端的 ring / pool / memo / lowering pass 原样不动
  ← MGPipeCallbacks(10 个具名反向回调 + 1 个正向终止符)

三种形态共用同一份 backend 实现:monolith(默认,进程内直调)、inproc(同进程两个线程,CI 形态与渲染线程交付物;P5 起 lockstep verb barrier,P5b 起 71 个后端槽里 54 个发射、15 个具名拒绝)、spawn(P6:fork+execve 出 server 进程,SPSC 共享内存 ring + FlatBuffers 控制面)。

构建与运行

四个 flavour:build-linux(pull,默认)、build-push(-DMOBILEGL_PIPE_PUSH=ON)、build-verify(+MOBILEGL_PIPE_VERIFY 影子比对,MOBILEGL_ITEST_REQUIRE_GPU=1)、build-split(+MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED +MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED_INPROC)。split 运行时必须显式设置传输:

MOBILEGL_TRANSPORT=inproc MOBILEGL_ITEST_REQUIRE_GPU=1 ctest --test-dir build-split -L integration-split --output-on-failure
MOBILEGL_TRANSPORT=inproc ctest --test-dir build-split -L integration-gpu --output-on-failure   # 普查车道,只记录

integration-split(DirectGLES.Split.* / DirectVulkan.Split.*)是硬门;integration-gpu 在 inproc 下是带已知 abort / wrong-answer 的普查车道。每条 split entry 带独立 MOBILEGL_LOG_FILE_PATH,阴性控制(scripts/ci/split_negative_controls.sh)只读被选 entry 的私有日志。常用旋钮(全表见 ARCHITECTURE.md 附 A):

变量 默认 用途
MOBILEGL_IPC_STAGE_MB 32 SEG_STAGE 容量;目标负载 profile 显式 256(单次 128 MiB 上传),默认不改
MOBILEGL_IPC_VERB_BARRIER 1 每个 verb 等 appliedSeq == emitSeq;0 只作 E1 阴性控制
MOBILEGL_IPC_AUDIT 0 apply 返回后以 0xDD 填退休 staging,查跨返回持针
MOBILEGL_IPC_STRICT_ERRORS 0 BARRIER-PULLED residual input 提升为具名 Fatal
MOBILEGL_IPC_ADOPT_TIER 2 split 使用 emulated persistent-map 路径;auto/0/1/2
MOBILEGL_IPC_PERSISTENT_BLOCK_KB 64 persistent-map 块推送粒度;0 是 E3(a) 阴性控制

Android 三份 APK flavour:pull、push、split(Gradle 属性 mobilegl.pipePush、mobilegl.buildDisaggregated、mobilegl.buildDisaggregatedInproc;~/w7/notes/tools/wsl_build_p5_apks.sh)。split APK 需运行环境 MOBILEGL_TRANSPORT=inproc,不设置时是 split build 的 monolith control arm(splitctl)。设备 A/B 只用 Redmi 2f7cbe2e,定频协议见 devices/pin-verification-2026-09-07.md。

术语

  • client / server:前端进程 / 后端进程;monolith 下是同一进程的两个角色,inproc 下是两个线程。
  • verb:会让 server 做事的命令(draw、dispatch、clear、blit、readback、XFB 跨度、query、纹理操作)。推送只发生在 verb 之前的 validate 时刻。
  • class A / B / C:后端槽的三类——A 从 caps mirror 本地回答,B 发射记录,C 具名拒绝(Fatal{UnmigratedVerb}),永不回落到 monolith applier。
  • CSO:常量状态对象(render state、vertex elements、sampler、sampler view、shader),client 侧内容寻址,server 侧按句柄缓存。
  • Track V / Track H:值类读点的迁移(整块 POD 过线)/ 对象类读点的迁移(SharedPtr<前端对象> → 句柄)。
  • MGGen:server 私有的"我重铸了驱动对象"纪元,永不过线;与句柄里的 client 世代严格分开。
  • G1 / G2 / G5 / G14:pull 符号恒等 / pull==push 测试名 / 保护区字节一致 / 测试名只增不删。barrier tax:split − push 的逐线程 CPU 增量(inproc 传输 + verb barrier 的代价)。
