This reverts commits: 10d6a3aca78ba48c1b85fba8627dc1dd883de5ba6c6a25feca167e6b48f17cb96d41a53207979278595b3c4fdd1521f7cf89c11c5e69accf336082033632a812c0f56506be0d86427a3219 .
The reason for the revert is that we observe ABA problem around
inline method cache. When a cache misshits, we search for a
method entry. And if the entry is identical to what was cached
before, we reuse the cache. But the commits we are reverting here
introduced situations where a method entry is freed, then the
identical memory region is used for another method entry. An
inline method cache cannot detect that ABA.
Here is a code that reproduce such situation:
```ruby
require 'prime'
class << Integer
alias org_sqrt sqrt
def sqrt(n)
raise
end
GC.stress = true
Prime.each(7*37){} rescue nil # <- Here we populate CC
class << Object.new; end
# These adjacent remove-then-alias maneuver
# frees a method entry, then immediately
# reuses it for another.
remove_method :sqrt
alias sqrt org_sqrt
end
Prime.each(7*37).to_a # <- SEGV
```
Now that we have eliminated most destructive operations over the
rb_method_entry_t / rb_callable_method_entry_t, let's make them
mostly immutabe and mark them const.
One exception is rb_export_method(), which destructively modifies
visibilities of method entries. I have left that operation as is
because I suspect that destructiveness is the nature of that
function.
This fixes instance_exec and similar methods. It also fixes
Enumerator::Yielder#yield, rb_yield_block, and a couple of cases
with Proc#{<<,>>}.
This support requires the addition of rb_yield_values_kw, similar to
rb_yield_values2, for passing the keyword flag.
Unlike earlier attempts at this, this does not modify the rb_block_call_func
type or add a separate function type. The functions of type
rb_block_call_func are called by Ruby with a separate VM frame, and we can
get the keyword flag information from the VM frame flags, so it doesn't need
to be passed as a function argument.
These changes require the following VM functions accept a keyword flag:
* vm_yield_with_cref
* vm_yield
* vm_yield_with_block
It says:
vm.c:2519:34: warning: expression does not compute the number of elements in this array; element type is 'const struct __jmp_buf_tag', not 'VALUE' (aka 'unsigned long') [-Wsizeof-array-div]
sizeof(ec->machine.regs) / sizeof(VALUE));
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
vm.c:2519:34: note: place parentheses around the 'sizeof(VALUE)' expression to silence this warning
Also add keyword argument separation warnings for Class#new and Method#call.
To allow for keyword argument to required positional hash converstion in
cfuncs, add a vm frame flag indicating the cfunc was called with an empty
keyword hash (which was removed before calling the cfunc). The cfunc can
check this frame flag and add back an empty hash if it is passing its
arguments to another Ruby method. Add rb_empty_keyword_given_p function
for checking if called with an empty keyword hash, and
rb_add_empty_keyword for adding back an empty hash to argv.
All of this empty keyword argument support is only for 2.7. It will be
removed in 3.0 as Ruby 3 will not convert empty keyword arguments to
required positional hash arguments. Comment all of the relevent code
to make it obvious this is expected to be removed.
Add rb_funcallv_kw as an public C-API function, just like rb_funcallv
but with a keyword flag. This is used by rb_obj_call_init (internals
of Class#new). This also required expected call_type enum with
CALL_FCALL_KW, similar to the recent addition of CALL_PUBLIC_KW.
Add rb_vm_call_kw as a internal function, used by call_method_data
(internals of Method#call and UnboundMethod#bind_call). Add tests
for UnboundMethod#bind_call keyword handling.
The kw_splat flag is whether the original call passes keyword or not.
Some types of methods (e.g., bmethod and sym_proc) drops the
information. This change tries to propagate the flag to the final
callee, as far as I can.
Treat the ** syntax as passing a copy of the hash as the last
positional argument. If the hash being double splatted is empty, do
not add a positional argument.
Remove rb_no_keyword_hash, no longer needed.
We can check the function pointer passed to rb_define_method_id
like how we do so in rb_define_method. This method is relatively
rarely used so there are less problems found than the other APIs.
* Make it clear as possible that RubyVM is MRI-specific and only exists on MRI
* See [Bug #15743].
* Use "CRuby VM" instead of "Ruby VM" for clarity.
* Use YARV rather than "CRuby VM" for documenting RubyVM::InstructionSequence
* Avoid introducing a new "CRuby VM" term in documentation
Renaming this function. "No pin" leaks some implementation details. We
just want users to know that if they mark this object, the reference may
move and they'll need to update the reference accordingly.
Without this patch, "raise" event invoked twice when raise an
exception in "load"ed script.

[Bug #15877]
Add RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_INSN_CLEAR, RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_OPERAND_CLEAR,
and RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_REGISTER_CLEAR to clear VM instruction hash constants.
Closes: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/2258
Add RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_INSN_START, RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_OPERAND_START,
and RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_REGISTER_START to begin collecting VM instructions.
Add RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_INSN_RUNNING, RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_OPERAND_RUNNING,
and RubyVM::USAGE_ANALYSIS_REGISTER_RUNNING to check if VM instructions
are being collected.

I am trying to study debug counters inside a Rails application.
Accessing debug counters by killing the process is hard because child
processes don't get the same TRAP as the parent, and Rails seems to
intercept calls to `exit`. Adding this method lets me print the debug
counters when I want (at the end of requests for example)
Previously, attr* methods could be private even if not in the
private section of a class/module block.
This uses the same approach that ruby started using for define_method
in 1fc3319973.
Fixes [Bug #4537]
If `vm_stack` is left dangling in a forked process, the gc attempts to scan
it, but it is invalid and will cause a segfault. Therefore, we clear it
before forking.
In order to simplify this, `rb_ec_clear_vm_stack` was introduced.
