The altstack memory of a thread may be free'ed even after the VM is
destructed. After that, GC is no longer available, so calling xfree
may lead to a segfault.
This changeset uses the bare free function to free the altstack memory
instead of xfree. [Bug #18126]
iff means if and only if, but readers without that knowledge might
assume this to be a spelling mistake. To me, this seems like
exclusionary language that is unnecessary. Simply using "if and only if"
instead should suffice.
This commit introduces Ractor mechanism to run Ruby program in
parallel. See doc/ractor.md for more details about Ractor.
See ticket [Feature #17100] to see the implementation details
and discussions.
[Feature #17100]
This commit does not complete the implementation. You can find
many bugs on using Ractor. Also the specification will be changed
so that this feature is experimental. You will see a warning when
you make the first Ractor with `Ractor.new`.
I hope this feature can help programmers from thread-safety issues.
Not every compilers understand that rb_raise does not return. When a
function does not end with a return statement, such compilers can issue
warnings. We would better tell them about reachabilities.
A new (not-initialized-yet) pthread attempts to allocate sigaltstack by
using xmalloc. It may cause GC, but because the thread is not
initialized yet, ruby_native_thread_p() returns false, which leads to
"[FATAL] failed to allocate memory" and exit.
In fact, we can observe the error message in the log of OpenBSD CI:
https://rubyci.org/logs/rubyci.s3.amazonaws.com/openbsd-current/ruby-master/log/20200306T083005Z.log.html.gz
This changeset allocates sigaltstack before pthread is created.
Saves comitters' daily life by avoid #include-ing everything from
internal.h to make each file do so instead. This would significantly
speed up incremental builds.
We take the following inclusion order in this changeset:
1. "ruby/config.h", where _GNU_SOURCE is defined (must be the very
first thing among everything).
2. RUBY_EXTCONF_H if any.
3. Standard C headers, sorted alphabetically.
4. Other system headers, maybe guarded by #ifdef
5. Everything else, sorted alphabetically.
Exceptions are those win32-related headers, which tend not be self-
containing (headers have inclusion order dependencies).
rb_eval_cmd takes a safe level, and now that $SAFE is deprecated,
it should be deprecated as well.
Replace with rb_eval_cmd_kw, which takes a keyword flag. Switch
the two callers to this function.
This removes the related tests, and puts the related specs behind
version guards. This affects all code in lib, including some
libraries that may want to support older versions of Ruby.
This removes the security features added by $SAFE = 1, and warns for access
or modification of $SAFE from Ruby-level, as well as warning when calling
all public C functions related to $SAFE.
This modifies some internal functions that took a safe level argument
to no longer take the argument.
rb_require_safe now warns, rb_require_string has been added as a
version that takes a VALUE and does not warn.
One public C function that still takes a safe level argument and that
this doesn't warn for is rb_eval_cmd. We may want to consider
adding an alternative method that does not take a safe level argument,
and warn for rb_eval_cmd.
On Android, a signal handler that is not SIG_DFL is set by default for
SIGSEGV. Ruby's install_sighandler inserts Ruby's handler only when the
signal has no handler, so it does not insert Ruby's SEGV report handler,
which caused some test failures.
This changeset forces to install Ruby's handler for some fatal signals
(sigbus, sigsegv, and sigill). They keep the original handlers, and
call them when the interpreter receives the signals.
Just refactoring.
The name "rb_bug_context" is completely unclear for me.
(Can you see that "context" means "machine register context"?)
The context is available only when a fatal signal (sigbus, sigsegv, or
sigill) is received; in fact, the function is used only for fatal
signals. So, I think the name should be changed.
The three functions for fatal signals, sigbus, sigsegv, and sigill, are
a family. The definition of ruby_abort had interrupted them for no
reason. This change just moves the definition after the family.
We can check the function pointer passed to rb_define_module_function
like how we do so in rb_define_method. The difference is that this
changeset reveales lots of atiry mismatches.
Especially over checking argc then calling rb_scan_args just to
raise an ArgumentError.

Spurious interrupts from SIGCHLD cause Mutex#sleep (via
ConditionVariable#wait) to return early and breaks some use
cases. Since these are outside the programs's control with
MJIT, we will only consider pending interrupts (e.g. those
from Thread#run) and signals which cause a Ruby-level Signal.trap
handler to fire as "spurious" wakeups.

To reduce resource use and reduce CI failure; remove
timer-thread. Single-threaded Ruby processes (including forked
children) will never see extra thread overhead. This prevents
glibc and jemalloc from going into multi-threaded mode and
initializing locks or causing fragmentation via arena explosion.
The GVL is implements its own wait-queue as a ccan/list to
permit controlling wakeup order. Timeslice under contention is
handled by a designated timer thread (similar to choosing a
"patrol_thread" for current deadlock checking).
There is only one self-pipe, now, as wakeups for timeslice are
done independently using condition variables. This reduces FD
pressure slightly.
Signal handling is handled directly by a Ruby Thread (instead
of timer-thread) by exposing signal self-pipe to callers of
rb_thread_fd_select, native_sleep, rb_wait_for_single_fd, etc...
Acquiring, using, and releasing the self-pipe is exposed via 4
new internal functions:
1) rb_sigwait_fd_get - exclusively acquire timer_thread_pipe.normal[0]
2) rb_sigwait_fd_sleep - sleep and wait for signal (and no other FDs)
3) rb_sigwait_fd_put - release acquired result from rb_sigwait_fd_get
4) rb_sigwait_fd_migrate - migrate signal handling to another thread
after calling rb_sigwait_fd_put.
rb_sigwait_fd_migrate is necessary for waitpid callers because
only one thread can wait on self-pipe at a time, otherwise a
deadlock will occur if threads fight over the self-pipe.
TRAP_INTERRUPT_MASK is now set for the main thread directly in
signal handler via rb_thread_wakeup_timer_thread.
Originally, I wanted to use POSIX timers
(timer_create/timer_settime) for this. Unfortunately, this
proved unfeasible as Mutex#sleep resumes on spurious wakeups and
test/thread/test_cv.rb::test_condvar_timed_wait failed. Using
pthread_sigmask to mask out SIGVTALRM fixed that test, but
test/fiddle/test_function.rb::test_nogvl_poll proved there'd be
some unavoidable (and frequent) incompatibilities from that
approach.
Finally, this allows us to drop thread_destruct_lock and
interrupt current ec directly.
We don't need to rely on vm->thread_destruct_lock or a coherent
vm->running_thread on any platform. Separate timer-thread for
time slice and signal handling is relegated to thread_win32.c,
now.
