The main impetus for this change is to fix [Bug #13392]. Previously, we
fired the "return" TracePoint event after popping the stack frame for
the block running as method (BMETHOD). This gave undesirable source
location outputs as the return event normally fires right before the
frame going away.
The iseq for each block can run both as a block and as a method. To
accommodate that, this commit makes vm_trace() fire call/return events for
instructions that have b_call/b_return events attached when the iseq is
running as a BMETHOD. The logic for rewriting to "trace_*" instruction
is tweaked so that when the user listens to call/return events,
instructions with b_call/b_return become trace variants.
To continue to provide the return value for non-local returns done using
the "return" or "break" keyword inside BMETHODs, the stack unwinding
code is tweaked. b_return events now provide the same return value as
return events for these non-local cases. A pre-existing test deemed not
providing a return value for these b_return events as a limitation.
This commit removes the checks for call/return TracePoint events that
happen when calling into BMETHODs when no TracePoints are active.
Technically, migrating just the return event is enough to fix the bug,
but migrating both call and return removes our reliance on
`VM_FRAME_FLAG_FINISH` and re-entering the interpreter when the caller
is already in the interpreter.
Compare with the C methods, A built-in methods written in Ruby is
slower if only mandatory parameters are given because it needs to
check the argumens and fill default values for optional and keyword
parameters (C methods can check the number of parameters with `argc`,
so there are no overhead). Passing mandatory arguments are common
(optional arguments are exceptional, in many cases) so it is important
to provide the fast path for such common cases.
`Primitive.mandatory_only?` is a special builtin function used with
`if` expression like that:
```ruby
def self.at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil)
if Primitive.mandatory_only?
Primitive.time_s_at1(time)
else
Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in))
end
end
```
and it makes two ISeq,
```
def self.at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil)
Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in))
end
def self.at(time)
Primitive.time_s_at1(time)
end
```
and (2) is pointed by (1). Note that `Primitive.mandatory_only?`
should be used only in a condition of an `if` statement and the
`if` statement should be equal to the methdo body (you can not
put any expression before and after the `if` statement).
A method entry with `mandatory_only?` (`Time.at` on the above case)
is marked as `iseq_overload`. When the method will be dispatch only
with mandatory arguments (`Time.at(0)` for example), make another
method entry with ISeq (2) as mandatory only method entry and it
will be cached in an inline method cache.
The idea is similar discussed in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16254
but it only checks mandatory parameters or more, because many cases
only mandatory parameters are given. If we find other cases (optional
or keyword parameters are used frequently and it hurts performance),
we can extend the feature.
`RubyVM.keep_script_lines` enables to keep script lines
for each ISeq and AST. This feature is for debugger/REPL
support.
```ruby
RubyVM.keep_script_lines = true
RubyVM::keep_script_lines = true
eval("def foo = nil\ndef bar = nil")
pp RubyVM::InstructionSequence.of(method(:foo)).script_lines
```
This change fixes some cases where YJIT fails to fire tracing events.
Most of the situations YJIT did not handle correctly involves enabling
tracing while running inside generated code.
A new operation to invalidate all generated code is added, which uses
patching to make generated code exit at the next VM instruction
boundary. A new routine called `jit_prepare_routine_call()` is
introduced to facilitate this and should be used when generating code
that could allocate, or could otherwise use `RB_VM_LOCK_ENTER()`.
The `c_return` event is fired in the middle of an instruction as opposed
to at an instruction boundary, so it requires special handling. C method
call return points are patched to go to a fucntion which does everything
the interpreter does, including firing the `c_return` event. The
generated code for C method calls normally does not fire the event.
Invalided code should not change after patching so the exits are not
clobbered. A new variable is introduced to track the region of code that
should not change.
* Tie lifetime of uJIT blocks to iseqs
Blocks weren't being freed when iseqs are collected.
* Add rb_dary. Use it for method dependency table
* Keep track of blocks per iseq
Remove global version_tbl
* Block version bookkeeping fix
* dary -> darray
* free ujit_blocks
* comment about size of ujit_blocks
Insert generated addresses into st_table for mapping native code
addresses back to info about VM instructions. Export `encoded_insn_data`
to do this. Also some style fixes.
In vm_call_method_each_type, check for c_call and c_return events before
dispatching to vm_call_ivar and vm_call_attrset. With this approach, the
call cache will still dispatch directly to those functions, so this
change will only decrease performance for the first (uncached) call, and
even then, the performance decrease is very minimal.
This approach requires that we clear the call caches when tracing is
enabled or disabled. The approach currently switches all vm_call_ivar
and vm_call_attrset call caches to vm_call_general any time tracing is
enabled or disabled. So it could theoretically result in a slowdown for
code that constantly enables or disables tracing.
This approach does not handle targeted tracepoints, but from my testing,
c_call and c_return events are not supported for targeted tracepoints,
so that shouldn't matter.
This includes a benchmark showing the performance decrease is minimal
if detectable at all.

RubyVM::AST.of(Thread::Backtrace::Location) returns a node that
corresponds to the location. Typically, the node is a method call, but
not always.
This change also includes iseq's dump/load support of node_ids for each
instructions.
by merging `rb_ast_body_t#line_count` and `#script_lines`.
Fortunately `line_count == RARRAY_LEN(script_lines)` was always
satisfied. When script_lines is saved, it has an array of lines, and
when not saved, it has a Fixnum that represents the old line_count.
... then, new_insn_core extracts nd_line(node).
Also, if a macro "EXPERIMENTAL_ISEQ_NODE_ID" is defined, this changeset
keeps nd_node_id(node) for each instruction. This is intended for
TypeProf to identify what AST::Node corresponds to each instruction.

We can take advantage of fstrings to de-duplicate the defined strings.
This means we don't need to keep the list of defined strings on the VM

constant cache `IC` is accessed by non-atomic manner and there are
thread-safety issues, so Ruby 3.0 disables to use const cache on
non-main ractors.
This patch enables it by introducing `imemo_constcache` and allocates
it by every re-fill of const cache like `imemo_callcache`.
[Bug #17510]
Now `IC` only has one entry `IC::entry` and it points to
`iseq_inline_constant_cache_entry`, managed by T_IMEMO object.
`IC` is atomic data structure so `rb_mjit_before_vm_ic_update()` and
`rb_mjit_after_vm_ic_update()` is not needed.
This switches the internal function from rb_parser_compile_file_path
to rb_parser_load_file, which is the same internal method that
Kernel#load uses.
Fixes [Bug #17308]
If two or more tracepoints enabled with the same target and with

This patch fixes this issue by remaining existing trace instructions.
[Bug #17302]
iv_index_tbl manages instance variable indexes (ID -> index).
This data structure should be synchronized with other ractors
so introduce some VM locks.
This patch also introduced atomic ivar cache used by
set/getinlinecache instructions. To make updating ivar cache (IVC),
we changed iv_index_tbl data structure to manage (ID -> entry)
and an entry points serial and index. IVC points to this entry so
that cache update becomes atomically.
Use ID instead of GENTRY for gvars.
Global variables are compiled into GENTRY (a pointer to struct
rb_global_entry). This patch replace this GENTRY to ID and
make the code simple.
We need to search GENTRY from ID every time (st_lookup), so
additional overhead will be introduced.
However, the performance of accessing global variables is not
important now a day and this simplicity helps Ractor development.
If :return event is specified for a opt_invokebuiltin_delegate_leave
and leave combination, the instructions should be
opt_invokebuiltin_delegate
trace_return
instructions. To make it, opt_invokebuiltin_delegate_leave
instruction will be changed to opt_invokebuiltin_delegate even if
it is not an event target instruction.
CIs are created on-the-fly, which increases GC pressure. However they
include no references to other objects, and those on-the-fly CIs tend to
be short lived. Why not skip allocation of them. In doing so we need
to add a flag denotes the CI object does not reside inside of objspace.
With compiling `CPDEBUG >= 2`, `rb_iseq_disasm` segfaults if this
table has not been created. Also `ibf_load_iseq_each` calls
`rb_iseq_insns_info_encode_positions`.
Previously, passing a keyword splat to a method always allocated
a hash on the caller side, and accepting arbitrary keywords in
a method allocated a separate hash on the callee side. Passing
explicit keywords to a method that accepted a keyword splat
did not allocate a hash on the caller side, but resulted in two
hashes allocated on the callee side.
This commit makes passing a single keyword splat to a method not
allocate a hash on the caller side. Passing multiple keyword
splats or a mix of explicit keywords and a keyword splat still
generates a hash on the caller side. On the callee side,
if arbitrary keywords are not accepted, it does not allocate a
hash. If arbitrary keywords are accepted, it will allocate a
hash, but this commit uses a callinfo flag to indicate whether
the caller already allocated a hash, and if so, the callee can
use the passed hash without duplicating it. So this commit
should make it so that a maximum of a single hash is allocated
during method calls.
To set the callinfo flag appropriately, method call argument
compilation checks if only a single keyword splat is given.
If only one keyword splat is given, the VM_CALL_KW_SPLAT_MUT
callinfo flag is not set, since in that case the keyword
splat is passed directly and not mutable. If more than one
splat is used, a new hash needs to be generated on the caller
side, and in that case the callinfo flag is set, indicating
the keyword splat is mutable by the callee.
In compile_hash, used for both hash and keyword argument
compilation, if compiling keyword arguments and only a
single keyword splat is used, pass the argument directly.
On the caller side, in vm_args.c, the callinfo flag needs to
be recognized and handled. Because the keyword splat
argument may not be a hash, it needs to be converted to a
hash first if not. Then, unless the callinfo flag is set,
the hash needs to be duplicated. The temporary copy of the
callinfo flag, kw_flag, is updated if a hash was duplicated,
to prevent the need to duplicate it again. If we are
converting to a hash or duplicating a hash, we need to update
the argument array, which can including duplicating the
positional splat array if one was passed. CALLER_SETUP_ARG
and a couple other places needs to be modified to handle
similar issues for other types of calls.
This includes fairly comprehensive tests for different ways
keywords are handled internally, checking that you get equal
results but that keyword splats on the caller side result in
distinct objects for keyword rest parameters.
Included are benchmarks for keyword argument calls.
Brief results when compiled without optimization:
def kw(a: 1) a end
def kws(**kw) kw end
h = {a: 1}
kw(a: 1) # about same
kw(**h) # 2.37x faster
kws(a: 1) # 1.30x faster
kws(**h) # 2.19x faster
kw(a: 1, **h) # 1.03x slower
kw(**h, **h) # about same
kws(a: 1, **h) # 1.16x faster
kws(**h, **h) # 1.14x faster
This patch contains several ideas:
(1) Disposable inline method cache (IMC) for race-free inline method cache
* Making call-cache (CC) as a RVALUE (GC target object) and allocate new
CC on cache miss.
* This technique allows race-free access from parallel processing
elements like RCU.
(2) Introduce per-Class method cache (pCMC)
* Instead of fixed-size global method cache (GMC), pCMC allows flexible
cache size.
* Caching CCs reduces CC allocation and allow sharing CC's fast-path
between same call-info (CI) call-sites.
(3) Invalidate an inline method cache by invalidating corresponding method
entries (MEs)
* Instead of using class serials, we set "invalidated" flag for method
entry itself to represent cache invalidation.
* Compare with using class serials, the impact of method modification
(add/overwrite/delete) is small.
* Updating class serials invalidate all method caches of the class and
sub-classes.
* Proposed approach only invalidate the method cache of only one ME.
See [Feature #16614] for more details.
Now, rb_call_info contains how to call the method with tuple of
(mid, orig_argc, flags, kwarg). Most of cases, kwarg == NULL and
mid+argc+flags only requires 64bits. So this patch packed
rb_call_info to VALUE (1 word) on such cases. If we can not
represent it in VALUE, then use imemo_callinfo which contains
conventional callinfo (rb_callinfo, renamed from rb_call_info).
iseq->body->ci_kw_size is removed because all of callinfo is VALUE
size (packed ci or a pointer to imemo_callinfo).
To access ci information, we need to use these functions:
vm_ci_mid(ci), _flag(ci), _argc(ci), _kwarg(ci).
struct rb_call_info_kw_arg is renamed to rb_callinfo_kwarg.
rb_funcallv_with_cc() and rb_method_basic_definition_p_with_cc()
is temporary removed because cd->ci should be marked.
Let me quote ISO/IEC 9899:2018 section 6.5.15:
> Constraints
>
> The first operand shall have scalar type.
> One of the following shall hold for the second and third operands:
> — both operands have arithmetic type;
> — both operands have the same structure or union type;

(snip)
Here, `*option` is a const struct rb_compile_option_struct. OTOH
`COMPILE_OPTION_DEFAULT` is a struct rb_compile_option_struct, without
const. These two are _not_ the "same structure or union type". Hence
the expression renders undefined behaviour. COMPILE_OPTION_DEFAULT is
not a const because `RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile_option=`
touches its internals on-the-fly. There is no way to meet the
constraints quoted above.
Using ternary operator here was a mistake at the first place. Let's
just replace it with a normal `if` statement.
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).

This commit introduces an "inline ivar cache" struct. The reason we
need this is so compaction can differentiate from an ivar cache and a
regular inline cache. Regular inline caches contain references to
`VALUE` and ivar caches just contain references to the ivar index. With
this new struct we can easily update references for inline caches (but
not inline var caches as they just contain an int)
These functions are used from within a compilation unit so we can
make them static, for better binary size. This changeset reduces
the size of generated ruby binary from 26,590,128 bytes to
26,584,472 bytes on my macihne.
We incorrectly assumed that the `file` argument should be the file name and
caused https://github.com/scoutapp/scout_apm_ruby/issues/307 because
exception backtrace did not contain correct path. This documentation
clarifies the role of the different arguments and provides extra
examples.
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.
Looking at the list of symbols inside of libruby-static.a, I found
hundreds of functions that are defined, but used from nowhere.
There can be reasons for each of them (e.g. some functions are
specific to some platform, some are useful when debugging, etc).
However it seems the functions deleted here exist for no reason.
This changeset reduces the size of ruby binary from 26,671,456

Support loading builtin features written in Ruby, which implement
with C builtin functions.
[Feature #16254]
Several features:
(1) Load .rb file at boottime with native binary.
Now, prelude.rb is loaded at boottime. However, this file is contained
into the interpreter as a text format and we need to compile it.
This patch contains a feature to load from binary format.
(2) __builtin_func() in Ruby call func() written in C.
In Ruby file, we can write `__builtin_func()` like method call.
However this is not a method call, but special syntax to call
a function `func()` written in C. C functions should be defined
in a file (same compile unit) which load this .rb file.
Functions (`func` in above example) should be defined with
(a) 1st parameter: rb_execution_context_t *ec
(b) rest parameters (0 to 15).
(c) VALUE return type.
This is very similar requirements for functions used by
rb_define_method(), however `rb_execution_context_t *ec`
is new requirement.
(3) automatic C code generation from .rb files.
tool/mk_builtin_loader.rb creates a C code to load .rb files
needed by miniruby and ruby command. This script is run by
BASERUBY, so *.rb should be written in BASERUBY compatbile
syntax. This script load a .rb file and find all of __builtin_
prefix method calls, and generate a part of C code to export
functions.
tool/mk_builtin_binary.rb creates a C code which contains
binary compiled Ruby files needed by ruby command.
We need to ensure that labels are pinned while disassembling. If the
compactor runs during disassembly, references to these labels could go
bad, so this commit just ensures that the labels can't move until we're
done.
To perform a regular method call, the VM needs two structs,
`rb_call_info` and `rb_call_cache`. At the moment, we allocate these two
structures in separate buffers. In the worst case, the CPU needs to read
4 cache lines to complete a method call. Putting the two structures
together reduces the maximum number of cache line reads to 2.
Combining the structures also saves 8 bytes per call site as the current
layout uses separate two pointers for the call info and the call cache.
This saves about 2 MiB on Discourse.
This change improves the Optcarrot benchmark at least 3%. For more
details, see attached bugs.ruby-lang.org ticket.
Complications:
- A new instruction attribute `comptime_sp_inc` is introduced to
calculate SP increase at compile time without using call caches. At
compile time, a `TS_CALLDATA` operand points to a call info struct, but
at runtime, the same operand points to a call data struct. Instruction
that explicitly define `sp_inc` also need to define `comptime_sp_inc`.
- MJIT code for copying call cache becomes slightly more complicated.
- This changes the bytecode format, which might break existing tools.
[Misc #16258]
This changeset basically replaces `ruby_xmalloc(x * y)` into
`ruby_xmalloc2(x, y)`. Some convenient functions are also
provided for instance `rb_xmalloc_mul_add(x, y, z)` which allocates
x * y + z byes.
ko1 cannot remember why he introduced the function. And it is not used.
After it is removed, the argument "base_block" of
rb_iseq_compile_with_option is always zero.
The parsing of `RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile` does not support an
outer scope currently. So it specified NULL as parent_iseq for the
parser. However, it resulted in the following false-positive warning.
```
RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile(<<END)
o = Object.new
o #=> <compiled>:2: warning: possibly useless use of a variable in void context
END
```
This change specifies a dummy empty parent_iseq instead of NULL, which
suppresses the false positive.
The parser needs to determine whether a local varaiable is defined or
not in outer scope. For the sake, "base_block" field has kept the outer
block.
However, the whole block was actually unneeded; the parser used only
base_block->iseq.
So, this change lets parser_params have the iseq directly, instead of
the whole block.
