20 // LLI messages from parent-to-child or vice versa follow an exceedingly simple
21 // protocol where the first four bytes represent the message type, the next
22 // four bytes represent the size of data for the command and following bytes
23 // represent the actual data.
24 //
25 // The protocol is not intended to be robust, secure or fault-tolerant.  It is
26 // only here for testing purposes and is therefore intended to be the simplest
27 // implementation that will work.  It is assumed that the parent and child
28 // share characteristics like endianness.
29 //
30 // Quick description of the protocol:
31 //
32 // { Header + Payload Size + Payload }
33 //
34 // The protocol message consist of a header, the payload size (which can be
35 // zero), and the payload itself. The payload can contain any number of items,
36 // and the size has to be the sum of them all. Each end is responsible for
37 // reading/writing the correct number of items with the correct sizes.
38 //
39 // The current four known exchanges are:
40 //
41 //  * Allocate Space:
42 //   Parent: { LLI_AllocateSpace, 8, Alignment, Size }
43 //    Child: { LLI_AllocationResult, 8, Address }
44 //
45 //  * Load Data:
46 //   Parent: { LLI_LoadDataSection, 8+Size, Address, Data }
47 //    Child: { LLI_LoadComplete, 4, StatusCode }
48 //
49 //  * Load Code:
50 //   Parent: { LLI_LoadCodeSection, 8+Size, Address, Code }
51 //    Child: { LLI_LoadComplete, 4, StatusCode }
52 //
53 //  * Execute Code:
54 //   Parent: { LLI_Execute, 8, Address }
55 //    Child: { LLI_ExecutionResult, 4, Result }
56 //
57 // It is the responsibility of either side to check for correct headers,
58 // sizes and payloads, since any inconsistency would misalign the pipe, and
59 // result in data corruption.
