Our current implementation of rb_postponed_job_register suffers from
some safety issues that can lead to interpreter crashes (see bug #1991).
Essentially, the issue is that jobs can be called with the wrong
arguments.
We made two attempts to fix this whilst keeping the promised semantics,
but:
* The first one involved masking/unmasking when flushing jobs, which
was believed to be too expensive
* The second one involved a lock-free, multi-producer, single-consumer
ringbuffer, which was too complex
The critical insight behind this third solution is that essentially the
only user of these APIs are a) internal, or b) profiling gems.
For a), none of the usages actually require variable data; they will
work just fine with the preregistration interface.
For b), generally profiling gems only call a single callback with a
single piece of data (which is actually usually just zero) for the life
of the program. The ringbuffer is complex because it needs to support
multi-word inserts of job & data (which can't be atomic); but nobody
actually even needs that functionality, really.
So, this comit:
* Introduces a pre-registration API for jobs, with a GVL-requiring
rb_postponed_job_prereigster, which returns a handle which can be
used with an async-signal-safe rb_postponed_job_trigger.
* Deprecates rb_postponed_job_register (and re-implements it on top of
the preregister function for compatability)
* Moves all the internal usages of postponed job register
pre-registration
These classes don't belong in gc.c as they're not actually part of the
GC. This commit refactors the code by moving all the code into a
weakmap.c file.
This commit adds a `capacity` field to shapes, and adds shape
transitions whenever an object's capacity changes. Objects which are
allocated out of a bigger size pool will also make a transition from the
root shape to the shape with the correct capacity for their size pool
when they are allocated.
This commit will allow us to remove numiv from objects completely, and
will also mean we can guarantee that if two objects share shapes, their
IVs are in the same positions (an embedded and extended object cannot
share shapes). This will enable us to implement ivar sets in YJIT using
object shapes.

Object Shapes is used for accessing instance variables and representing the
"frozenness" of objects. Object instances have a "shape" and the shape
represents some attributes of the object (currently which instance variables are
set and the "frozenness"). Shapes form a tree data structure, and when a new
instance variable is set on an object, that object "transitions" to a new shape
in the shape tree. Each shape has an ID that is used for caching. The shape
structure is independent of class, so objects of different types can have the
same shape.
For example:
```ruby
class Foo
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
class Bar
def initialize
# Starts with shape id 0
@a = 1 # transitions to shape id 1
@b = 1 # transitions to shape id 2
end
end
foo = Foo.new # `foo` has shape id 2
bar = Bar.new # `bar` has shape id 2
```
Both `foo` and `bar` instances have the same shape because they both set
instance variables of the same name in the same order.
This technique can help to improve inline cache hits as well as generate more
efficient machine code in JIT compilers.
This commit also adds some methods for debugging shapes on objects. See
`RubyVM::Shape` for more details.

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 prerequisite to fix https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15589 with JIT.
This commit alone doesn't make a significant difference yet, but I thought
this commit should be committed independently.
This method override was discussed in [Misc #16961].
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).
