/*
* \brief Report session interface
* \author Norman Feske
* \date 2014-01-10
*
* A report session allows a client to report status information about itself
* to the outer world, in particular to its parent process.
*
* The communication between client and server is based on the combination
* of shared memory with synchronous RPC. A dataspace shared between both
* processes is used to carry the data. RPC calls are used to synchronize the
* access to the buffer. When the client performs an RPC, it hands over the
* responsibility to access the buffer to the server. While an RPC is in
* progress and the client blocks for the reply, the server may read and write
* the buffer. At all other times, the server is not expected to access the
* buffer.
*
* This hand over of the buffer between both parties is a mere convention. It
* is not enforced by the system. For this reason, neither of both proceess
* must keep its internal state stored in the buffer. Data should always be
* copied in/out and never processed directly in the buffer.
