This commit adds a bitfield to the iseq body that stores offsets inside
the iseq buffer that contain values we need to mark. We can use this
bitfield to mark objects instead of disassembling the instructions.
This commit also groups inline storage entries and adds a counter for
each entry. This allows us to iterate and mark each entry without
disassembling instructions
Since we have a bitfield and grouped inline caches, we can mark all
VALUE objects associated with instructions without actually
disassembling the instructions at mark time.
[Feature #18875] [ruby-core:109042]
`NON_SCALAR_THREAD_ID` shows `pthread_t` is non-scalar (non-pointer)
and only s390x is known platform. However, the supporting code is
very complex and it is only used for deubg print information.
So this patch removes the support of `NON_SCALAR_THREAD_ID`
and make the code simple.
`rb_thread_t::serial` is auto-incremented serial number for
threads and it can overflow, it means the serial is not a ID
for each thread, it is only for debug print.
`RUBY_DEBUG_LOG` shows this information.
Also skip EC related information if EC is NULL. This patch
enable to use `RUBY_DEBUG_LOG` without setup EC.
In December 2021, we opened an [issue] to solicit feedback regarding the
porting of the YJIT codebase from C99 to Rust. There were some
reservations, but this project was given the go ahead by Ruby core
developers and Matz. Since then, we have successfully completed the port
of YJIT to Rust.
The new Rust version of YJIT has reached parity with the C version, in
that it passes all the CRuby tests, is able to run all of the YJIT
benchmarks, and performs similarly to the C version (because it works
the same way and largely generates the same machine code). We've even
incorporated some design improvements, such as a more fine-grained
constant invalidation mechanism which we expect will make a big
difference in Ruby on Rails applications.
Because we want to be careful, YJIT is guarded behind a configure
option:
```shell
./configure --enable-yjit # Build YJIT in release mode
./configure --enable-yjit=dev # Build YJIT in dev/debug mode
```
By default, YJIT does not get compiled and cargo/rustc is not required.
If YJIT is built in dev mode, then `cargo` is used to fetch development
dependencies, but when building in release, `cargo` is not required,
only `rustc`. At the moment YJIT requires Rust 1.60.0 or newer.
The YJIT command-line options remain mostly unchanged, and more details
about the build process are documented in `doc/yjit/yjit.md`.
The CI tests have been updated and do not take any more resources than
before.
The development history of the Rust port is available at the following
commit for interested parties:
1fd9573d8b
Our hope is that Rust YJIT will be compiled and included as a part of
system packages and compiled binaries of the Ruby 3.2 release. We do not
anticipate any major problems as Rust is well supported on every
platform which YJIT supports, but to make sure that this process works
smoothly, we would like to reach out to those who take care of building
systems packages before the 3.2 release is shipped and resolve any
issues that may come up.

`rb_thread_t` contained `native_thread_data_t` to represent
thread implementation dependent data. This patch separates
them and rename it `rb_native_thread` and point it from
`rb_thraed_t`.
Now, 1 Ruby thread (`rb_thread_t`) has 1 native thread (`rb_native_thread`).
Now GVL is not process *Global* so this patch try to use
another words.
* `rb_global_vm_lock_t` -> `struct rb_thread_sched`
* `gvl->owner` -> `sched->running`
* `gvl->waitq` -> `sched->readyq`
* `rb_gvl_init` -> `rb_thread_sched_init`
* `gvl_destroy` -> `rb_thread_sched_destroy`
* `gvl_acquire` -> `thread_sched_to_running` # waiting -> ready -> running
* `gvl_release` -> `thread_sched_to_waiting` # running -> waiting
* `gvl_yield` -> `thread_sched_yield`
* `GVL_UNLOCK_BEGIN` -> `THREAD_BLOCKING_BEGIN`
* `GVL_UNLOCK_END` -> `THREAD_BLOCKING_END`
* removed
* `rb_ractor_gvl`
* `rb_vm_gvl_destroy` (not used)
There are GVL functions such as `rb_thread_call_without_gvl()` yet
but I don't have good name to replace them. Maybe GVL stands for
"Greate Valuable Lock" or something like that.
This commit reintroduces finer-grained constant cache invalidation.
After 8008fb7 got merged, it was causing issues on token-threaded
builds (such as on Windows).
The issue was that when you're iterating through instruction sequences
and using the translator functions to get back the instruction structs,
you're either using `rb_vm_insn_null_translator` or
`rb_vm_insn_addr2insn2` depending if it's a direct-threading build.
`rb_vm_insn_addr2insn2` does some normalization to always return to
you the non-trace version of whatever instruction you're looking at.
`rb_vm_insn_null_translator` does not do that normalization.
This means that when you're looping through the instructions if you're
trying to do an opcode comparison, it can change depending on the type
of threading that you're using. This can be very confusing. So, this
commit creates a new translator function
`rb_vm_insn_normalizing_translator` to always return the non-trace
version so that opcode comparisons don't have to worry about different
configurations.
[Feature #18589]
This reverts commits for [Feature #18589]:
* 8008fb7352
"Update formatting per feedback"
* 8f6eaca2e1
"Delete ID from constant cache table if it becomes empty on ISEQ free"
* 629908586b
"Finer-grained inline constant cache invalidation"
MSWin builds on AppVeyor have been crashing since the merger.
Current behavior - caches depend on a global counter. All constant mutations cause caches to be invalidated.
```ruby
class A
B = 1
end
def foo
A::B # inline cache depends on global counter
end
foo # populate inline cache
foo # hit inline cache
C = 1 # global counter increments, all caches are invalidated
foo # misses inline cache due to `C = 1`
```
Proposed behavior - caches depend on name components. Only constant mutations with corresponding names will invalidate the cache.
```ruby
class A
B = 1
end
def foo
A::B # inline cache depends constants named "A" and "B"
end
foo # populate inline cache
foo # hit inline cache
C = 1 # caches that depend on the name "C" are invalidated
foo # hits inline cache because IC only depends on "A" and "B"
```
Examples of breaking the new cache:
```ruby
module C
# Breaks `foo` cache because "A" constant is set and the cache in foo depends
# on "A" and "B"
class A; end
end
B = 1
```
We expect the new cache scheme to be invalidated less often because names aren't frequently reused. With the cache being invalidated less, we can rely on its stability more to keep our constant references fast and reduce the need to throw away generated code in YJIT.
Use ISEQ_BODY macro to get the rb_iseq_constant_body of the ISeq. Using
this macro will make it easier for us to change the allocation strategy
of rb_iseq_constant_body when using Variable Width Allocation.
`overloaded_cme_table` keeps cme -> monly_cme pairs to manage
corresponding `monly_cme` for `cme`. The lifetime of the `monly_cme`
should be longer than `monly_cme`, but the previous patch losts the
reference to the living `monly_cme`.
Now `overloaded_cme_table` values are always root (keys are only weak
reference), it means `monly_cme` does not freed until corresponding
`cme` is invalidated.
To make managing easy, move `overloaded_cme_table` to `rb_vm_t`.
It free `rb_hook_list_t` itself if needed. To recognize the
need, this patch introduced `rb_hook_list_t::is_local` flag.
This patch is succession of https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4652
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
```
When YJIT make calls to routines without reconstructing interpreter
state through jit_prepare_routine_call(), it relies on the routine to
never allocate, raise, and push/pop control frames. Comment about this
on the routines that YJTI calls.
This is probably something we should dynamically verify on debug builds.
It's hard to statically verify this as it requires verifying all
functions in the call tree. Maybe something to look at in the future.
Make sure `opt_getinlinecache` is in a block all on its own, and
invalidate it from the interpreter when `opt_setinlinecache`.
It will recompile with a filled cache the second time around.
This lets YJIT runs well when the IC for constant is cold.

This fixes issues with paths being loaded twice in certain cases
when symlinks are used.
It took me multiple attempts to get this working. My original
attempt tried to convert paths to realpaths before adding them
to $LOADED_FEATURES. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well
with the loaded feature index, which is based off load paths
and not realpaths. While I was able to get require working, I'm
fairly sure the loaded feature index was not being used as
expected, which would have significant performance implications.
Additionally, I was never able to get that approach working with
autoload when autoloading a non-realpath file. It also broke
some specs.
This takes a more conservative approach. Directly before loading the
file, if the file with the same realpath has been required, the
loading of the file is skipped. The realpaths are stored as
fstrings in a hidden hash.
When rebuilding the loaded feature index, the hash of realpaths
is also rebuilt. I'm guessing this makes rebuilding process
slower, but I don think that is a hot path. In general, modifying
loaded features is only done when reloading, and that tends to be
in non-production environments.
Change test_require_with_loaded_features_pop test to use 30 threads
and 300 iterations, instead of 4 threads and 1000 iterations.
I saw only sporadic failures with 4/1000, but consistent failures
30/300 threads. These failures were due to the fact that the
concurrent deletions from $LOADED_FEATURES in other threads can
result in rb_ary_entry returning nil when rebuilding the loaded
features index.
To avoid concurrency issues when rebuilding the loaded features
index, the building of the index itself is left alone, and
afterwards, a separate loop is done on a copy of the loaded feature
snapshot in order to rebuild the realpaths hash.

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]

GitHub PR #4340.
This change implements a cache for class variables. Previously there was
no cache for cvars. Cvar access is slow due to needing to travel all the
way up th ancestor tree before returning the cvar value. The deeper the
ancestor tree the slower cvar access will be.
The benefits of the cache are more visible with a higher number of
included modules due to the way Ruby looks up class variables. The
benchmark here includes 26 modules and shows with the cache, this branch
is 6.5x faster when accessing class variables.
