Except for CgUtils.fixStgRegisters that is used in the NCG and LLVM
backends, and should probably be moved somewhere else.

Mostly d -> g (matching DynFlag -> GeneralFlag).
Also renamed if* to when*, matching the Haskell if/when names

The main change here is that the Cmm parser now allows high-level cmm
code with argument-passing and function calls. For example:
foo ( gcptr a, bits32 b )
{
if (b > 0) {
// we can make tail calls passing arguments:
jump stg_ap_0_fast(a);
}
return (x,y);
}
More details on the new cmm syntax are in Note [Syntax of .cmm files]
in CmmParse.y.
The old syntax is still more-or-less supported for those occasional
code fragments that really need to explicitly manipulate the stack.
However there are a couple of differences: it is now obligatory to
give a list of live GlobalRegs on every jump, e.g.
jump %ENTRY_CODE(Sp(0)) [R1];
Again, more details in Note [Syntax of .cmm files].
I have rewritten most of the .cmm files in the RTS into the new
syntax, except for AutoApply.cmm which is generated by the genapply
program: this file could be generated in the new syntax instead and
would probably be better off for it, but I ran out of enthusiasm.
Some other changes in this batch:
- The PrimOp calling convention is gone, primops now use the ordinary
NativeNodeCall convention. This means that primops and "foreign
import prim" code must be written in high-level cmm, but they can
now take more than 10 arguments.
- CmmSink now does constant-folding (should fix #7219)
- .cmm files now go through the cmmPipeline, and as a result we
generate better code in many cases. All the object files generated
for the RTS .cmm files are now smaller. Performance should be
better too, but I haven't measured it yet.
- RET_DYN frames are removed from the RTS, lots of code goes away
- we now have some more canned GC points to cover unboxed-tuples with
2-4 pointers, which will reduce code size a little.

StgWord is a newtyped Word64, as it needed to be something that
has a UArray instance.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
It's now a newtyped Integer. Perhaps a newtyped Word32 would make more
sense, though.

I've switched to passing DynFlags rather than Platform, as (a) it's
simpler to not have to extract targetPlatform in so many places, and
(b) it may be useful to have DynFlags around in future.

To explicitly choose whether you want an unregisterised build you now
need to use the "--enable-unregisterised"/"--disable-unregisterised"
configure flags.
|
| |
|
|
| |
All the flags that 'ways' imply are now dynamic
|
| | |
|
| |
|
|
|

We only use it for "compiler" sources, i.e. not for libraries.
Many modules have a -fno-warn-tabs kludge for now.

User visible changes
====================
Profilng
--------
Flags renamed (the old ones are still accepted for now):
OLD NEW
--------- ------------
-auto-all -fprof-auto
-auto -fprof-exported
-caf-all -fprof-cafs
New flags:
-fprof-auto Annotates all bindings (not just top-level
ones) with SCCs
-fprof-top Annotates just top-level bindings with SCCs
-fprof-exported Annotates just exported bindings with SCCs
-fprof-no-count-entries Do not maintain entry counts when profiling
(can make profiled code go faster; useful with
heap profiling where entry counts are not used)
Cost-centre stacks have a new semantics, which should in most cases
result in more useful and intuitive profiles. If you find this not to
be the case, please let me know. This is the area where I have been
experimenting most, and the current solution is probably not the
final version, however it does address all the outstanding bugs and
seems to be better than GHC 7.2.
Stack traces
------------
+RTS -xc now gives more information. If the exception originates from
a CAF (as is common, because GHC tends to lift exceptions out to the
top-level), then the RTS walks up the stack and reports the stack in
the enclosing update frame(s).
Result: +RTS -xc is much more useful now - but you still have to
compile for profiling to get it. I've played around a little with
adding 'head []' to GHC itself, and +RTS -xc does pinpoint the problem
quite accurately.
I plan to add more facilities for stack tracing (e.g. in GHCi) in the
future.
Coverage (HPC)
--------------
* derived instances are now coloured yellow if they weren't used
* likewise record field names
* entry counts are more accurate (hpc --fun-entry-count)
* tab width is now correct (markup was previously off in source with
tabs)
Internal changes
================
In Core, the Note constructor has been replaced by
Tick (Tickish b) (Expr b)
which is used to represent all the kinds of source annotation we
support: profiling SCCs, HPC ticks, and GHCi breakpoints.
Depending on the properties of the Tickish, different transformations
apply to Tick. See CoreUtils.mkTick for details.
Tickets
=======
This commit closes the following tickets, test cases to follow:
- Close #2552: not a bug, but the behaviour is now more intuitive
(test is T2552)
- Close #680 (test is T680)
- Close #1531 (test is result001)
- Close #949 (test is T949)
- Close #2466: test case has bitrotted (doesn't compile against current
version of vector-space package)

This changes the new code generator to make use of the Hoopl package
for dataflow analysis. Hoopl is a new boot package, and is maintained
in a separate upstream git repository (as usual, GHC has its own
lagging darcs mirror in http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/hoopl).
During this merge I squashed recent history into one patch. I tried
to rebase, but the history had some internal conflicts of its own
which made rebase extremely confusing, so I gave up. The history I
squashed was:
- Update new codegen to work with latest Hoopl
- Add some notes on new code gen to cmm-notes
- Enable Hoopl lag package.
- Add SPJ note to cmm-notes
- Improve GC calls on new code generator.
Work in this branch was done by:
- Milan Straka <fox@ucw.cz>
- John Dias <dias@cs.tufts.edu>
- David Terei <davidterei@gmail.com>
Edward Z. Yang <ezyang@mit.edu> merged in further changes from GHC HEAD
and fixed a few bugs.

This replaces the global blackhole_queue with a clever scheme that
enables us to queue up blocked threads on the closure that they are
blocked on, while still avoiding atomic instructions in the common
case.
Advantages:
- gets rid of a locked global data structure and some tricky GC code
(replacing it with some per-thread data structures and different
tricky GC code :)
- wakeups are more prompt: parallel/concurrent performance should
benefit. I haven't seen anything dramatic in the parallel
benchmarks so far, but a couple of threading benchmarks do improve
a bit.
- waking up a thread blocked on a blackhole is now O(1) (e.g. if
it is the target of throwTo).
- less sharing and better separation of Capabilities: communication
is done with messages, the data structures are strictly owned by a
Capability and cannot be modified except by sending messages.
- this change will utlimately enable us to do more intelligent
scheduling when threads block on each other. This is what started
off the whole thing, but it isn't done yet (#3838).
I'll be documenting all this on the wiki in due course.

The type of the CmmLabel ctor is now
CmmLabel :: PackageId -> FastString -> CmmLabelInfo -> CLabel
- When you construct a CmmLabel you have to explicitly say what
package it is in. Many of these will just use rtsPackageId, but
I've left it this way to remind people not to pretend labels are
in the RTS package when they're not.
- When parsing a Cmm file, labels that are not defined in the
current file are assumed to be in the RTS package.
Labels imported like
import label
are assumed to be in a generic "foreign" package, which is different
from the current one.
Labels imported like
import "package-name" label
are marked as coming from the named package.
This last one is needed for the integer-gmp library as we want to
refer to labels that are not in the same compilation unit, but
are in the same non-rts package.
This should help remove the nasty #ifdef __PIC__ stuff from
integer-gmp/cbits/gmp-wrappers.cmm

The first phase of this tidyup is focussed on the header files, and in
particular making sure we are exposinng publicly exactly what we need
to, and no more.
- Rts.h now includes everything that the RTS exposes publicly,
rather than a random subset of it.
- Most of the public header files have moved into subdirectories, and
many of them have been renamed. But clients should not need to
include any of the other headers directly, just #include the main
public headers: Rts.h, HsFFI.h, RtsAPI.h.
- All the headers needed for via-C compilation have moved into the
stg subdirectory, which is self-contained. Most of the headers for
the rest of the RTS APIs have moved into the rts subdirectory.
- I left MachDeps.h where it is, because it is so widely used in
Haskell code.
- I left a deprecated stub for RtsFlags.h in place. The flag
structures are now exposed by Rts.h.
- Various internal APIs are no longer exposed by public header files.
- Various bits of dead code and declarations have been removed
- More gcc warnings are turned on, and the RTS code is more
warning-clean.
- More source files #include "PosixSource.h", and hence only use
standard POSIX (1003.1c-1995) interfaces.
There is a lot more tidying up still to do, this is just the first
pass. I also intend to standardise the names for external RTS APIs
(e.g use the rts_ prefix consistently), and declare the internal APIs
as hidden for shared libraries.

- yet another wrong calling convention; this one was a special case for returning one
value.

This merge does not turn on the new codegen (which only compiles
a select few programs at this point),
but it does introduce some changes to the old code generator.
The high bits:
1. The Rep Swamp patch is finally here.
The highlight is that the representation of types at the
machine level has changed.
Consequently, this patch contains updates across several back ends.
2. The new Stg -> Cmm path is here, although it appears to have a
fair number of bugs lurking.
3. Many improvements along the CmmCPSZ path, including:
o stack layout
o some code for infotables, half of which is right and half wrong
o proc-point splitting

When returning an unboxed tuple with a single non-void component, we
now use the same calling convention as for returning a value of the
same type as that component. This means that the return convention
for IO now doesn't vary depending on the platform, which make some
parts of the RTS simpler, and fixes a problem I was having with making
the FFI work in unregisterised GHCi (the byte-code compiler makes
some assumptions about calling conventions to keep things simple).

Older GHCs can't parse OPTIONS_GHC.
This also changes the URL referenced for the -w options from
WorkingConventions#Warnings to CodingStyle#Warnings for the compiler
modules.

This is a fairly complete implementation, however
two 'panic's have been placed in the critical path
where the implementation is still a bit lacking so
do not expect it to run quite yet.
One call to panic is because we still need to create
a GC block for procedures that don't have them yet.
(cmm/CmmCPS.hs:continuationToProc)
The other is due to the need to convert from a
ContinuationInfo to a CmmInfo.

This patch is a start on removing import lists and generally tidying
up the top of each module. In addition to removing import lists:
- Change DATA.IOREF -> Data.IORef etc.
- Change List -> Data.List etc.
- Remove $Id$
- Update copyrights
- Re-order imports to put non-GHC imports last
- Remove some unused and duplicate imports

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
