We are seeing an error where code that is generated with MJIT contains
references to objects that have been moved. I believe this is due to a
race condition in the compaction function.
`gc_compact` has two steps:
1. Run a full GC to pin objects
2. Compact / update references
Step one is executed with `garbage_collect`. `garbage_collect` calls
`gc_enter` / `gc_exit`, these functions acquire a JIT lock and release a
JIT lock. So a lock is held for the duration of step 1.
Step two is executed by `gc_compact_after_gc`. It also holds a JIT
lock.
I believe the problem is that the JIT is free to execute between step 1
and step 2. It copies call cache values, but doesn't pin them when it
copies them. So the compactor thinks it's OK to move the call cache
even though it is not safe.
We need to hold a lock for the duration of `garbage_collect` *and*
`gc_compact_after_gc`. This patch introduces a lock level which
increments and decrements. The compaction function can increment and
decrement the lock level and prevent MJIT from executing during both
steps.
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.
by calling combined functions specialized for each cancel type.
I'm hoping to improve locality of hot code, but this patch's impact should
be insignificant.
Running C compiler for JIT compaction inside a critical section may lock
main thread for a long time when it triggers GC. As I'm planning to
increase this duration a bit, I'd like to make sure this doesn't stop
the world.
For now, I chose to give up unloading units when it's during JIT
compaction, assuming other calls may unload them later.
jit_unit to avoid marking wrong cc entries when inlined iseq is compiled
multiple times, resolving the TODO added by daf7c48d88.
This obviates pseudo jit_unit in inlined iseq introduced by 7ec2359374
and fixes memory leak of the adhoc unit.
ALLOC_N() can causes GC. Sometimes `mjit_copy_job_handler()`
can be called by mjit_worker thread which is not a Ruby thread,
so we need to prevent GC in this function. This patch has some
issues, but I introduce it to pass the tests.
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.
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 is a secret feature for me. It's only for testing and any behavior
with this flag override is unsupported.
I needed this because I sometimes want to add debug options but do not
want to disable optimizations, for using Linux perf.
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]
Now I'm not exactly sure why I needed to check `stop_worker_p` after
`mjit_copy_cache_from_main_thread` of `convert_unit_to_func`
in 4161674b2f.
If it's for avoiding deadlock under `in_gc` condition, we should keep it.
However, if it's not the case and it's just for retrying accidental
compilation failure or just to avoid `MJIT_ATOMIC_SET` and
`compact_all_jit_code`, I think this quick stop path is not mandatory.
Because this path is somewhat problematic in my upcoming fix in
mjit_worker, let me try to remove this first and see how CI goes.
for all compilations and compaction.
Prior to this commit, the last-compiled code has not been used because
MJIT worker is stopped before setting the code, and compaction has also
been skipped.
But it was not intentional and `wait: true` pause should wait until
those two things by its feature.
Tabs are expanded because previously the file did not have any tab indentation.
Please update your editor config, and use misc/expand_tabs.rb in the pre-commit hook.
At least since 2004, glibc's <string.h> annotates memcpy as
__attribute__((__nonnull__)). This basedir is passed to it. When
LOAD_RELATIVE is not defined and MJIT_SEARCH_BUILD_DIR is not set,
this variable is never updated. Should initialize with meaningful
default value.
