+ * DOC: Time travel shared memory overview
+ *
+ * The main purpose of the shared memory is to avoid all time travel message
+ * that don't need any action, for example current time can be held in shared
+ * memory without the need of any client to send a message UM_TIMETRAVEL_GET
+ * in order to know what's the time.
+ *
+ * Since this is shared memory with all clients and controller and controller
+ * creates the shared memory space, all time values are absolute to controller
+ * time. So first time client connects to shared memory mode it should take the
+ * current_time value in shared memory and keep it internally as a diff to
+ * shared memory times, and once shared memory is initialized, any interaction
+ * with the controller must happen in the controller time domain, including any
+ * messages (for clients that are not using shared memory, the controller will
+ * handle an offset and make the clients think they start at time zero.)
+ *
+ * Along with the shared memory file descriptor is sent to the client a logging
+ * file descriptor, to have all logs related to shared memory,
+ * logged into one place. note: to have all logs synced into log file at write,
+ * file should be flushed (fflush) after writing to it.
+ *
+ * To avoid memory corruption, we define below for each field who can write to
+ * it at what time, defined in the structure fields.
+ *
+ * To avoid having to pack this struct, all fields in it must be naturally aligned
+ * (i.e. aligned to their size).
