The timer function used on windows system set timer interrupt
flag of current main ractor's executing ec and thread can detect
the end of time slice. However, to set all ec->interrupt_flag for
all running ractors, it is requires to synchronize with other ractors.
However, timer thread can not acquire the ractor-wide lock because
of some limitation.
To solve this issue, this patch introduces USE_VM_CLOCK compile option
to introduce rb_vm_t::clock. This clock will be incremented by the
timer thread and each thread can check the incrementing by comparison
with previous checked clock. At last, on windows platform this patch
introduces some overhead, but I think there is no critical performance
issue because of this modification.
To access TLS, it is faster to use language TLS specifier instead
of using pthread_get/setspecific functions.
Original proposal is: Use native thread locals. #3665
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.
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.
After 5e86b005c0, I now think ANYARGS is
dangerous and should be extinct. This commit deletes ANYARGS from
rb_thread_create, which seems very safe to do.
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:

Another option may be to add an intermediate "RTIMER_DISARMING"

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.

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.

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 closes race condition where GVL is uncontended and a thread
receives a signal immediately before calling the blocking
function when releasing GVL:
1) check interrupts
2) release GVL
3) blocking function
If signal fires after 1) but before 3), that thread may never
wake up if GVL is uncontended
We also need to wakeup the ubf_list unconditionally on

By holding into sigwait_fd until after we acquire GVL, we can
hit the faster native_cond_sleep path instead of ppoll when
another thread wants to start sleeping. ppoll-ing on sigwait_fd

This also allows reducing vm->gvl.lock mutex contention on

It's possible for another thread to take vm->gvl.lock
during gvl_release at the end of thread_start_func_2
during VM shutdown, at least.

We can't always designate a timer thread, so any sleepers must
also perform ubf wakeups. Note: a similar change needs to be
made for rb_thread_fd_select and rb_wait_for_single_fd.

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.

There's actually no need to close the pipes used by the
sleepy timer thread before forking, only to stop the timer
thread itself.
Instead, we only close the parent pipes in the child process,
either via close-on-exec flag or when reinitializing the timer
thread.
This change will be necessary when we allow
rb_wait_for_single_fd and rb_thread_fd_select to wait on the
timer_thread_pipe.normal[0] directly and eliminate timer thread.
I don't anticipate compatibility problems with this change
alone.

pthread_atfork is not idempotent and repeatedly calling it
causes it to register the same hook repeatedly; leading to
unbound memory growth.
Ruby already has a (confusing-named) internal API for to call
in the forked child process: rb_thread_atfork
Call the MJIT child_after_fork hook inside that to prevent
unbound growth with the following loop:
loop do
RubyVM::MJIT.pause
RubyVM::MJIT.resume
end

Reading win32/win32.c waitpid implementation, maybe waitpid(-1, ...)
on that platform will never conflict with mjit use of waitpid.
In any case, I've added WAITPID_USE_SIGCHLD macro to vm_core.h
so it can be easy for Linux/BSD users to test (hopefully!)
win32-compatible code.

mwrap <https://80x24.org/mwrap/> interposes malloc functions and
checks for GVL existence to determine Ruby source locations of
malloc calls. pthread_getattr_np (from get_stack) may call
realloc to get the CPU set size; so when using the thread-cache,
ruby_thread_has_gvl_p() may hit a false positive on reused
threads with lingering rb_thread_t in thread-specific data.
This was causing mwrap to call rb_source_location_cstr() and
crash because it was pointed to a zero ec->cfp->iseq.

Some systems lack SIGCHLD or have incomplete SIGCHLD
implementations. So enable polling mode for them.

Use a global SIGCHLD handler to guard all callers of rb_waitpid.
To work safely with multi-threaded programs, we introduce a
VM-wide waitpid_lock to be acquired BEFORE fork/vfork spawns the
process. This is to be combined with the new ruby_waitpid_locked
function used by mjit.c in a non-Ruby thread.
Ruby-level SIGCHLD handlers registered with Signal.trap(:CHLD)
continues to work as before and there should be no regressions
in any existing use cases.
Splitting the wait queues for PID > 0 and groups (PID <= 0)
ensures we favor PID > 0 callers.
The disabling of SIGCHLD in rb_f_system is longer necessary,
as we use deferred signal handling and no longer make ANY
blocking waitpid syscalls in other threads which could "beat"
the waitpid call made by rb_f_system.
We prevent SIGCHLD from firing in normal Ruby Threads and only
enable it in the timer-thread, to prevent spurious wakeups
from in test/-ext-/gvl/test_last_thread.rb with MJIT enabled.
I've tried to guard as much of the code for RUBY_SIGCHLD==0
using C "if" statements rather than CPP "#if" so to reduce
the likelyhood of portability problems as the compiler will
see more code.
We also work to suppress false-positives from
Process.wait(-1, Process::WNOHANG) to quiets warnings from
spec/ruby/core/process/wait2_spec.rb with MJIT enabled.
Lastly, we must implement rb_grantpt for ext/pty. We need a
MJIT-compatible way of supporting grantpt(3) which may spawn
the `pt_chown' binary and call waitpid(2) on it.
