When using UBF_TIMER_PTHREAD (the UBF handler on OpenBSD), the
timer_pthread_fn function will not signal the main thread with
SIGVTALRM in cases where timer_pthread is armed before
consume_communication_pipe is called. This is because
consume_communication_pipe will unarm the timer.
Fix this by checking the return value of consume_communication_pipe.
If it returns TRUE and the timer_pthread is disarmed, then signal
the main thread with SIGVTALRM.
On OpenBSD, this fixes TestThread#test_thread_timer_and_interrupt, and
fixes hangs in TestProcess#test_execopts_redirect_open_fifo_interrupt_raise
and TestProcess#test_execopts_redirect_open_fifo_interrupt_print.
It also fixes the use of Ctrl+C/SIGINT in irb on OpenBSD. It does not
cause any test failures on Linux when UBF_TIMER_PTHREAD is forced as
the UBF handler.
Fixes [Bug #15798]
zlib and bignum both contain unblocking functions which are
async-signal-safe and do not require spawning additional
threads.
We can execute those functions directly in signal handlers
without incurring overhead of extra threads, so provide C-API
users the ability to deal with that. Other C-API users may
have similar need.
This flexible API can supercede existing uses of
rb_thread_call_without_gvl and rb_thread_call_without_gvl2 by
introducing a flags argument to control behavior.
Note: this API is NOT finalized. It needs approval from other
committers. I prefer shorter name than previous
rb_thread_call_without_gvl* functions because my eyes requires
big fonts.

The following race may happen if ubf_timer_destroy calls
timer_delete before ubf_timer_disarm gets called from
a different thread. Consider the following timelines:
ubf_timer_destroy | ubf_timer_disarm
-------------------------------------+-----------------------------
| CAS(ARM => DISARM)
CAS(DISARM => DEAD) |
timer_delete |
| timer_settime(disarm)
Another option may be to add an intermediate "RTIMER_DISARMING"
state to the transition, but I figure the EINVAL check is
simpler and less intrusive code-wise.

Uncontended GVL waitqueue could mean a single CPU setup where
threads are starved and can't even insert themselves into our
waitqueue. So we force other threads to run upon releasing
the GVL in an uncontended state, in the hope that we can
avoid entering the slow path of ppoll and similar syscalls.
This should prevent test/ruby/test_thread.rb::test_signal_at_join
timeout problems on our single CPU FreeBSD CI machine.

and `invoke_arg`.
There are two types threads: invoking proc (normal Ruby thread
created by `Thread.new do ... end`) and invoking func, created
by C-API. `invoke_type` shows the types.
* thread.c (thread_do_start): copy `invoke_arg.proc.args` contents

We don't need to keep Array and don't need to cancel using transient heap.
* vm.c (thread_mark): For func invoking threads, they can pass (void *)
parameter (rb_thread_t::invoke_arg::func::arg). However, a rubyspec test
(thread_spec.c) passes an Array object and it expect to mark it.
Clealy it is out of scope (misuse of `rb_thread_create` C-API). However,
I'm not sure someone else has such kind of misunderstanding.
So now we mark conservatively this (void *) arg with rb_gc_mark_maybe.
This misuse is found by this error log.

Relying on ubf_select + ubf_list for main thread is not
guaranteed to wake a process up as it does not acquire
sigwait_fd and all other threads may be sleeping.
native_cond_sleep and the sigwait_fd path are immune to TOCTOU
issues, but native_ppoll_sleep may have its wakeup stolen
by sigwait_fd sleeper and the RUBY_VM_INTERRUPTED check is
insufficient.
Note: for pthreads platforms without POSIX timers, this becomes
more expensive than Ruby 2.5, as six pipe FDs come into use.
Linux is best off with only two descriptors for eventfd.

Introduce a new rb_thread_sleep_interruptible that does not
execute interrupts before sleeping. Skipping the interrupt
check before sleep is required for out-of-GVL ruby_waitpid_all
to function properly when setting waitpid_state.ret
Now that ubf_select can be called by the gvl.timer thread
without recursive locking gvl.lock, we can safely use
rb_threadptr_interrupt to deal with waking up sleeping
processes,
git-svn-id: svn+ssh://ci.ruby-lang.org/ruby/trunk@64576 b2dd03c8-39d4-4d8f-98ff-823fe69b080e
This simplifies the locking logic somewhat.
While we're at it, designate_timer_thread is worthless in
ubf_select because gvl_acquire_common already guarantees there
is a gvl.timer if gvl->waitq is populated.
In the future (for auto-fiber), this will allow using
th->unblock.func for rb_waitpid callers (via rb_sigchld_handler).

We need to ensure Signal.trap handlers can function if the main
thread is sleeping after a subthread has grabbed sigwait_fd,
but later exited.
Consider the following timeline:
main_thread sub-thread
-----------------------------------------
Signal.trap() { ... }
get sigwait_fd
ppoll on sigwait_fd
native_cond_sleep
(via pthread_cond_wait)
ppoll times-out
put sigwait_fd
sub-thread exits
only thread alive
SIGNAL HITS
The problem is pthread_cond_wait cannot return EINTR,
so we can never run the Signal.trap handler. So we
will avoid using native_cond_sleep in the main thread
and always use ppoll to sleep when in the main thread.
This can guarantee the main thread remains aware of
signals; even if it cannot safely read off sigwait_fd

Relying on "struct timespec" was too annoying API-wise and
used more stack space. "double" was a bit wacky w.r.t rounding
in the past, so now we'll switch to using a 64-bit type.
Unsigned 64-bit integer is able to give us over nearly 585
years of range with nanoseconds. This range is good enough
for the Linux kernel internal time representation, so it
ought to be good enough for us.
This reduces the stack usage of functions while GVL is held
(and thus subject to marking) on x86-64 Linux (with ppoll):
rb_wait_for_single_fd 120 => 104
do_select 120 => 88

This matches the behavior of old timer thread more closely
and seems to fix [Bug #14999] when limited to a single CPU.
I cannot reproduce the error on a multi-core system unless
I use schedtool to force affinity to a single CPU:
schedtool -a 0x01 -e make test-spec \
MSPECOPT='-R1000 spec/ruby/library/conditionvariable/wait_spec.rb'
While it may be good enough to pass the spec, I don't have
huge degree of confidence in the interrupt handling robustness
under extremely heavy load (these may be ancient bugs, though).
