* rts: More const correct-ness fixesErik de Castro Lopo2016-05-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In addition to more const-correctness fixes this patch fixes an infelicity of the previous const-correctness patch (995cf0f356) which left `UNTAG_CLOSURE` taking a `const StgClosure` pointer parameter but returning a non-const pointer. Here we restore the original type signature of `UNTAG_CLOSURE` and add a new function `UNTAG_CONST_CLOSURE` which takes and returns a const `StgClosure` pointer and uses that wherever possible.

* fix EBADF unqueueing in select backend (Trac #10590)Sergei Trofimovich2015-07-071-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alexander found a interesting case: 1. We have a queue of two waiters in a blocked_queue 2. first file descriptor changes state to RUNNABLE, second changes to INVALID 3. awaitEvent function dequeued RUNNABLE thread to a run queue and attempted to dequeue INVALID descriptor to a run queue.

* Rename _closure to _static_closure, apply naming consistently.Edward Z. Yang2014-10-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: In preparation for indirecting all references to closures, we rename _closure to _static_closure to ensure any old code will get an undefined symbol error. 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.

* Per-thread allocation counters and limitsSimon Marlow2014-05-021-0/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This tracks the amount of memory allocation by each thread in a counter stored in the TSO. Optionally, when the counter drops below zero (it counts down), the thread can be sent an asynchronous exception: AllocationLimitExceeded. When this happens, given a small additional limit so that it can handle the exception. See documentation in GHC.Conc for more details. Allocation limits are similar to timeouts, but - timeouts use real time, not CPU time. Allocation limits do not count anything while the thread is blocked or in foreign code. - timeouts don't re-trigger if the thread catches the exception, allocation limits do. - timeouts can catch non-allocating loops, if you use -fno-omit-yields. This doesn't work for allocation limits. I couldn't measure any impact on benchmarks with these changes, even for nofib/smp.

* Produce new-style Cmm from the Cmm parserSimon Marlow2012-10-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* GC refactoring and cleanupSimon Marlow2011-02-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | Now we keep any partially-full blocks in the gc_thread[] structs after each GC, rather than moving them to the generation. This should give us slightly better locality (though I wasn't able to measure any difference). Also in this patch: better sanity checking with THREADED.
* Implement stack chunks and separate TSO/STACK objectsSimon Marlow2010-12-151-55/+90
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes two changes to the way stacks are managed: 1. The stack is now stored in a separate object from the TSO. This means that it is easier to replace the stack object for a thread when the stack overflows or underflows; we don't have to leave behind the old TSO as an indirection any more. Consequently, we can remove ThreadRelocated and deRefTSO(), which were a pain. This is obviously the right thing, but the last time I tried to do it it made performance worse. This time I seem to have cracked it. 2. Stacks are now represented as a chain of chunks, rather than a single monolithic object. The big advantage here is that individual chunks are marked clean or dirty according to whether they contain pointers to the young generation, and the GC can avoid traversing clean stack chunks during a young-generation collection. This means that programs with deep stacks will see a big saving in GC overhead when using the default GC settings. A secondary advantage is that there is much less copying involved as the stack grows. Programs that quickly grow a deep stack will see big improvements. In some ways the implementation is simpler, as nothing special needs to be done to reclaim stack as the stack shrinks (the GC just recovers the dead stack chunks). On the other hand, we have to manage stack underflow between chunks, so there's a new stack frame (UNDERFLOW_FRAME), and we now have separate TSO and STACK objects. The total amount of code is probably about the same as before. There are new RTS flags: -ki<size> Sets the initial thread stack size (default 1k) Egs: -ki4k -ki2m -kc<size> Sets the stack chunk size (default 32k) -kb<size> Sets the stack chunk buffer size (default 1k) -ki was previously called just -k, and the old name is still accepted for backwards compatibility. These new options are documented.

* Interruptible FFI calls with pthread_kill and CancelSynchronousIO. v4Edward Z. Yang2010-09-191-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is patch that adds support for interruptible FFI calls in the form of a new foreign import keyword 'interruptible', which can be used instead of 'safe' or 'unsafe'. Interruptible FFI calls act like safe FFI calls, except that the worker thread they run on may be interrupted. Internally, it replaces BlockedOnCCall_NoUnblockEx with BlockedOnCCall_Interruptible, and changes the behavior of the RTS to not modify the TSO_ flags on the event of an FFI call from a thread that was interruptible. It also modifies the bytecode format for foreign call, adding an extra Word16 to indicate interruptibility. The semantics of interruption vary from platform to platform, but the intent is that any blocking system calls are aborted with an error code. This is most useful for making function calls to system library functions that support interrupting. There is no support for pre-Vista Windows. There is a partner testsuite patch which adds several tests for this functionality.
* New asynchronous exception control API (ghc parts)Simon Marlow2010-07-081-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed on the libraries/haskell-cafe mailing lists http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2010-April/013420.html This is a replacement for block/unblock in the asychronous exceptions API to fix a problem whereby a function could unblock asynchronous exceptions even if called within a blocked context. The new terminology is "mask" rather than "block" (to avoid confusion due to overloaded meanings of the latter). In GHC, we changed the names of some primops: blockAsyncExceptions# -> maskAsyncExceptions# unblockAsyncExceptions# -> unmaskAsyncExceptions# asyncExceptionsBlocked# -> getMaskingState# and added one new primop: maskUninterruptible# See the accompanying patch to libraries/base for the API changes.

|
* Change the representation of the MVar blocked queueSimon Marlow2010-04-011-78/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The list of threads blocked on an MVar is now represented as a list of separately allocated objects rather than being linked through the TSOs themselves. This lets us remove a TSO from the list in O(1) time rather than O(n) time, by marking the list object. Removing this linear component fixes some pathalogical performance cases where many threads were blocked on an MVar and became unreachable simultaneously (nofib/smp/threads007), or when sending an asynchronous exception to a TSO in a long list of thread blocked on an MVar. MVar performance has actually improved by a few percent as a result of this change, slightly to my surprise. This is the final cleanup in the sequence, which let me remove the old way of waking up threads (unblockOne(), MSG_WAKEUP) in favour of the new way (tryWakeupThread and MSG_TRY_WAKEUP, which is idempotent). It is now the case that only the Capability that owns a TSO may modify its state (well, almost), and this simplifies various things. More of the RTS is based on message-passing between Capabilities now.

* New implementation of BLACKHOLEsSimon Marlow2010-03-291-106/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Use message-passing to implement throwTo in the RTSSimon Marlow2010-03-111-239/+273
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces some complicated locking schemes with message-passing in the implementation of throwTo. The benefits are - previously it was impossible to guarantee that a throwTo from a thread running on one CPU to a thread running on another CPU would be noticed, and we had to rely on the GC to pick up these forgotten exceptions. This no longer happens. - the locking regime is simpler (though the code is about the same size) - threads can be unblocked from a blocked_exceptions queue without having to traverse the whole queue now. It's a rare case, but replaces an O(n) operation with an O(1). - generally we move in the direction of sharing less between Capabilities (aka HECs), which will become important with other changes we have planned. Also in this patch I replaced several STM-specific closure types with a generic MUT_PRIM closure type, which allowed a lot of code in the GC and other places to go away, hence the line-count reduction. The message-passing changes resulted in about a net zero line-count difference.

* Make allocatePinned use local storage, and other refactoringsSimon Marlow2009-12-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a batch of refactoring to remove some of the GC's global state, as we move towards CPU-local GC. - allocateLocal() now allocates large objects into the local nursery, rather than taking a global lock and allocating then in gen 0 step 0. - allocatePinned() was still allocating from global storage and taking a lock each time, now it uses local storage. (mallocForeignPtrBytes should be faster with -threaded). - We had a gen 0 step 0, distinct from the nurseries, which are stored in a separate nurseries[] array. This is slightly strange. I removed the g0s0 global that pointed to gen 0 step 0, and removed all uses of it. I think now we don't use gen 0 step 0 at all, except possibly when there is only one generation. Possibly more tidying up is needed here. - I removed the global allocate() function, and renamed allocateLocal() to allocate(). - the alloc_blocks global is gone. MAYBE_GC() and doYouWantToGC() now check the local nursery only.

This should help debugging by reducing the impact of debug tracing on execution time. - Various debug messages that duplicated the information in events have been removed.

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.
