* Cleanup OVERWRITING_CLOSURE logicDaniel Gröber2020-06-011-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The code is just more confusing than it needs to be. We don't need to mix the threaded check with the ldv profiling check since ldv's init already checks for this. Hence they can be two separate checks. Taking the sanity checking into account is also cleaner via DebugFlags.sanity. No need for checking the DEBUG define. The ZERO_SLOP_FOR_LDV_PROF and ZERO_SLOP_FOR_SANITY_CHECK definitions the old code had also make things a lot more opaque IMO so I removed those.

The concurrent nature of this collector typically results in significantly reduced maximum and mean pause times in applications with large working sets. Due to the large and intricate nature of the change I have opted to preserve the fully-buildable history, including merge commits, which is described in the "Branch overview" section below. Collector design ================ The full design of the collector implemented here is described in detail in a technical note > B. Gamari. "A Concurrent Garbage Collector For the Glasgow Haskell > Compiler" (2018) This document can be requested from @bgamari. The basic heap structure used in this design is heavily inspired by > K. Ueno & A. Ohori. "A fully concurrent garbage collector for > functional programs on multicore processors." /ACM SIGPLAN Notices/ > Vol. 51. No. 9 (presented at ICFP 2016) This design is intended to allow both marking and sweeping concurrent to execution of a multi-core mutator. Unlike the Ueno design, which requires no global synchronization pauses, the collector introduced here requires a stop-the-world pause at the beginning and end of the mark phase. To avoid heap fragmentation, the allocator consists of a number of fixed-size /sub-allocators/. Each of these sub-allocators allocators into its own set of /segments/, themselves allocated from the block allocator. Each segment is broken into a set of fixed-size allocation blocks (which back allocations) in addition to a bitmap (used to track the liveness of blocks) and some additional metadata (used also used to track liveness). This heap structure enables collection via mark-and-sweep, which can be performed concurrently via a snapshot-at-the-beginning scheme (although concurrent collection is not implemented in this patch). Implementation structure ======================== The majority of the collector is implemented in a handful of files: * `rts/Nonmoving.c` is the heart of the beast. It implements the entry-point to the nonmoving collector (`nonmoving_collect`), as well as the allocator (`nonmoving_allocate`) and a number of utilities for manipulating the heap. * `rts/NonmovingMark.c` implements the mark queue functionality, update remembered set, and mark loop. * `rts/NonmovingSweep.c` implements the sweep loop. * `rts/NonmovingScav.c` implements the logic necessary to scavenge the nonmoving heap.

| * rts: Implement concurrent collection in the nonmoving collectorBen Gamari2019-10-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the non-moving collector to allow concurrent collection. The full design of the collector implemented here is described in detail in a technical note B. Gamari. "A Concurrent Garbage Collector For the Glasgow Haskell Compiler" (2018) This extension involves the introduction of a capability-local remembered set, known as the /update remembered set/, which tracks objects which may no longer be visible to the collector due to mutation. To maintain this remembered set we introduce a write barrier on mutations which is enabled while a concurrent mark is underway. The update remembered set representation is similar to that of the nonmoving mark queue, being a chunked array of `MarkEntry`s. Each `Capability` maintains a single accumulator chunk, which it flushed when it (a) is filled, or (b) when the nonmoving collector enters its post-mark synchronization phase. While the write barrier touches a significant amount of code it is conceptually straightforward: the mutator must ensure that the referee of any pointer it overwrites is added to the update remembered set. However, there are a few details: * In the case of objects with a dirty flag (e.g. `MVar`s) we can exploit the fact that only the *first* mutation requires a write barrier. * Weak references, as usual, complicate things. In particular, we must ensure that the referee of a weak object is marked if dereferenced by the mutator. For this we (unfortunately) must introduce a read barrier, as described in Note [Concurrent read barrier on deRefWeak#] (in `NonMovingMark.c`). * Stable names are also a bit tricky as described in Note [Sweeping stable names in the concurrent collector] (`NonMovingSweep.c`). We take quite some pains to ensure that the high thread count often seen in parallel Haskell applications doesn't affect pause times. To this end we allow thread stacks to be marked either by the thread itself (when it is executed or stack-underflows) or the concurrent mark thread (if the thread owning the stack is never scheduled). There is a non-trivial handshake to ensure that this happens without racing which is described in Note [StgStack dirtiness flags and concurrent marking].

| | | | | | | | | This implements the correct fix for #11627 by skipping over the slop (which is zeroed) rather than adding special case logic for LARGE ARR_WORDS which runs the risk of not performing a correct census by ignoring any subsequent blocks.

* Improve performance of newSmallArray#Michal Terepeta2019-04-011-1/+7

* Add HeapView functionalityPatrick Dougherty2018-05-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This pulls parts of Joachim Breitner's ghc-heap-view library inside GHC. The bits added are the C hooks into the RTS and a basic Haskell wrapper to these C hooks. The main reason for these to be added to GHC proper is that the code needs to be kept in sync with the closure types defined by the RTS. It is expected that the version of HeapView shipped with GHC will always work with that version of GHC and that extra functionality can be layered on top with a library like ghc-heap-view distributed via Hackage.

* Overhaul GC statsSimon Marlow2016-12-061-32/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Visible API changes: * The C struct `GCDetails` gives the stats about a single GC. This is passed to the `gcDone()` callback if one is set via the RtsConfig. (previously we just passed a collection of values, so this is more extensible, at the expense of breaking the existing API) * `RTSStats` gives cumulative stats since the start of the program, and includes the `GCDetails` for the most recent GC. This struct can be obtained via `getRTSStats()` (the old `getGCStats()` has been removed, and `getGCStatsEnabled()` has been renamed to `getRTSStatsEnabled()`) Improvements: * The per-GC stats and cumulative stats are now cleanly separated. * Inside the RTS we have a top-level `RTSStats` struct to keep all our stats in, previously this was just a collection of strangely-named variables. This struct is mostly just copied in `getRTSStats()`, so the implementation of that function is a lot shorter. * Types are more consistent. We use a uint64_t byte count for all memory values, and Time for all time values. * Names are more consistent. We use a suffix `_bytes` for all byte counts and `_ns` for all time values. * We now collect information about the amount of memory in large objects and compact objects in `GCDetails`. (the latter was the reason I started doing this patch but it seems to have ballooned a bit!) * I fixed a bug in the calculation of the elapsed MUT time, and added an ASSERT to stop the calculations going wrong in the future. For now I kept the Haskell API in `GHC.Stats` the same, by impedence-matching with the new API. We could either break that API and make it match the C API more closely, or we could add a new API and deprecate the old one. Opinions welcome. This stuff is very easy to get wrong, and it's hard to test. Reviews welcome!

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: The aim here is to reduce the number of remote memory accesses on systems with a NUMA memory architecture, typically multi-socket servers. Linux provides a NUMA API for doing two things: * Allocating memory local to a particular node * Binding a thread to a particular node When given the +RTS --numa flag, the runtime will * Determine the number of NUMA nodes (N) by querying the OS * Assign capabilities to nodes, so cap C is on node C%N * Bind worker threads on a capability to the correct node * Keep a separate free lists in the block layer for each node * Allocate the nursery for a capability from node-local memory * Allocate blocks in the GC from node-local memory For example, using nofib/parallel/queens on a 24-core 2-socket machine: ``` $ ./Main 15 +RTS -N24 -s -A64m Total time 173.960s ( 7.467s elapsed) $ ./Main 15 +RTS -N24 -s -A64m --numa Total time 150.836s ( 6.423s elapsed) ``` The biggest win here is expected to be allocating from node-local memory, so that means programs using a large -A value (as here). According to perf, on this program the number of remote memory accesses were reduced by more than 50% by using `--numa`. Test Plan: * validate * There's a new flag --debug-numa=<n> that pretends to do NUMA without actually making the OS calls, which is useful for testing the code on non-NUMA systems. * TODO: I need to add some unit tests Reviewers: erikd, austin, rwbarton, ezyang, bgamari, hvr, niteria Subscribers: thomie Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D2199

In order to reference a closure foobar_closure (which is now undefined), you should instead use STATIC_CLOSURE(foobar). For convenience, a number of these old identifiers are macro'd. Across C-- and C (Windows and otherwise), there were differing conventions on whether or not foobar_closure or &foobar_closure was the address of the closure. Now, all foobar_closure references are addresses, and no & is necessary. CHARLIKE/INTLIKE were not changed, simply alpha-renamed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Time handling overhaulSimon Marlow2011-11-251-0/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Terminology cleanup: the type "Ticks" has been renamed "Time", which is an StgWord64 in units of TIME_RESOLUTION (currently nanoseconds). The terminology "tick" is now used consistently to mean the interval between timer signals. The ticker now always ticks in realtime (actually CLOCK_MONOTONIC if we have it). Before it used CPU time in the non-threaded RTS and realtime in the threaded RTS, but I've discovered that the CPU timer has terrible resolution (at least on Linux) and isn't much use for profiling. So now we always use realtime. This should also fix The default tick interval is now 10ms, except when profiling where we drop it to 1ms. This gives more accurate profiles without affecting runtime too much (<1%). Lots of cleanups - the resolution of Time is now in one place only (Rts.h) rather than having calculations that depend on the resolution scattered all over the RTS. I hope I found them all.
* Generate the C main() function when linking a binary (fixes #5373)Simon Marlow2011-11-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than have main() be statically compiled as part of the RTS, we now generate it into the tiny C file that we compile when linking a binary. The main motivation is that we want to pass the settings for the -rtsotps and -with-rtsopts flags into the RTS, rather than relying on fragile linking semantics to override the defaults, which don't work with DLLs on Windows (#5373). In order to do this, we need to extend the API for initialising the RTS, so now we have: void hs_init_ghc (int *argc, char **argv[], // program arguments RtsConfig rts_config); // RTS configuration hs_init_ghc() can optionally be used instead of hs_init(), and allows passing in configuration options for the RTS. RtsConfig is a struct, which currently has two fields: typedef struct { RtsOptsEnabledEnum rts_opts_enabled; const char *rts_opts; } RtsConfig; but might have more in the future. There is a default value for the struct, defaultRtsConfig, the idea being that you start with this and override individual fields as necessary. In fact, main() was in a separate static library, libHSrtsmain.a. That's now gone.
