## Motivation
In asynchronous systems like Tokio, interpreting traditional log
messages can often be quite challenging. Since individual tasks are
multiplexed on the same thread, associated events and log lines are
intermixed making it difficult to trace the logic flow. Currently, none
of the available logging frameworks or libraries in Rust offer the
ability to trace logical paths through a futures-based program.
There also are complementary goals that can be accomplished with such a
system. For example, metrics / instrumentation can be tracked by
observing emitted events, or trace data can be exported to a distributed
tracing or event processing system.
In addition, it can often be useful to generate this diagnostic data in
a structured manner that can be consumed programmatically. While prior
art for structured logging in Rust exists, it is not currently
standardized, and is not "Tokio-friendly".
## Solution
This branch adds a new library to the tokio project, `tokio-trace`.
`tokio-trace` expands upon logging-style diagnostics by allowing
libraries and applications to record structured events with additional
information about *temporality* and *causality* --- unlike a log
message, a span in `tokio-trace` has a beginning and end time, may be
entered and exited by the flow of execution, and may exist within a
nested tree of similar spans. In addition, `tokio-trace` spans are
*structured*, with the ability to record typed data as well as textual
messages.
The `tokio-trace-core` crate contains the core primitives for this
system, which are expected to remain stable, while `tokio-trace` crate
provides a more "batteries-included" API. In particular, it provides
macros which are a superset of the `log` crate's `error!`, `warn!`,
`info!`, `debug!`, and `trace!` macros, allowing users to begin the
process of adopting `tokio-trace` by performing a drop-in replacement.
## Notes
Work on this project had previously been carried out in the
[tokio-trace-prototype] repository. In addition to the `tokio-trace` and
`tokio-trace-core` crates, the `tokio-trace-prototype` repo also
contains prototypes or sketches of adapter, compatibility, and utility
crates which provide useful functionality for `tokio-trace`, but these
crates are not yet ready for a release. When this branch is merged, that
repository will be archived, and the remaining unstable crates will be
moved to a new `tokio-trace-nursery` repository. Remaining issues on the
`tokio-trace-prototype` repo will be moved to the appropriate new repo.
The crates added in this branch are not _identical_ to the current head
of the `tokio-trace-prototype` repo, as I did some final clean-up and docs
polish in this branch prior to merging this PR.

Introduce a tokio-sync crate containing useful synchronization primitives for programs
written using Tokio.
The initial release contains:
* An mpsc channel
* A oneshot channel
* A semaphore implementation
* An `AtomicTask` primitive.
The `oneshot` and `mpsc` channels are new implementations providing improved
performance characteristics. In some benchmarks, the new mpsc channel shows
up to 7x improvement over the version provided by the `futures` crate. Unfortunately,
the `oneshot` implementation only provides a slight performance improvement as it
is mostly limited by the `futures` 0.1 task system. Once updated to the `std` version
of `Future` (currently nightly only), much greater performance improvements should
be achievable by `oneshot`.
Additionally, he implementations provided here are checked using
[Loom](http://github.com/carllerche/loom/), which provides greater confidence of
correctness.
Disabling all features means the only dependency is `futures`.
Relevant pieces of the API can then be enabled with the following features:
- `codec`
- `fs`
- `io`
- `reactor`
- `tcp`
- `timer`
- `udp`
- `uds`
This also introduces the beginnings of enabling only certain pieces of the `Runtime`. As a start, the entire default runtime API is enabled via the `rt-full` feature.
This patch adds experimental async/await support to Tokio. It does this
by adding feature flags to existing libs only where necessary in order
to add nightly specific code (mostly `Unpin` implementations). It then
provides a new crate: `tokio-async-await` which is a shim layer on top
of `tokio`.
The `tokio-async-await` crate is expected to look exactly like `tokio`
does, but with async / await support. This strategy reduces the amount
of cfg guarding in the main libraries.
This patch also adds `tokio-channel`, which is copied from futures-rs
0.1 and adds the necessary `Unpin` implementations. In general, futures
0.1 is mostly unmaintained, so it will make sense for Tokio to take over
maintainership of key components regardless of async / await support.
This also bumps a number of sub crates:
* tokio-executor (0.1.3)
* tokio-io (0.1.8)
* tokio-reactor (0.1.4)
* tokio-threadpool (0.1.6)
* tokio-timer (0.2.6)
* tokio-udp (0.1.2)
Extract `tokio::executor::current_thread` to a tokio-current-thread
crate. Deprecated fns stay in the old location. The new crate only
contains thee most recent API.
This patch adds a new crate: tokio-fs. This crate provides a wrapper
around `std` functionality that can only be performed using blocking
operations. This primarily includes filesystem operations, but it also
includes standard input, output, and error access as these streams
cannot be safely switched to non-blocking mode in a portable way.
These wrappers call the `std` functions from within a `blocking`
annotation which allows the runtime to compensate for the fact that the
thread will potentially remain blocked in a system call.
Currently, the state of the futures2 integration is pretty broken. This
patch removes the feature flag, preventing users from trying to use it.
In the future, it can be brought back when the implementation is fixed.
This patch integrate the new timer implementation with the runtime by
initializing a timer per worker thread. This allows minimizing the
amount of synchronization needed for using timers.
This patch adds a new crate: tokio-timer. This crate provides an
efficient timer implemeentation designed for use in Tokio based
applications.
The timer users a hierarchical hashed timer wheel algorithm with six
levels, each having 64 slots. This allows the timer to have a resolution
of 1ms while maintaining O(1) complexity for insert, removal, and firing
of timeouts.
There already exists a tokio-timer crate. This is a complete rewrite
which solves the outstanding problems with the existing tokio-timer
library.
Closes#146.
This patch relicenses the Tokio project exclusively under the MIT
license. Before this, the project was dual licensed under MIT and Apache
2. As such, switching to only MIT is permitted.
Fixes#202
This patch updates `poll_read_ready` to take a `mask` argument, enabling
the caller to specify the desired readiness. `need_read` is renamed to
`clear_read_ready` and also takes a mask.
This enables a caller to listen for HUP events without requiring reading
from the I/O resource.
