separate some fields from rb_ractor_t to rb_ractor_pub and put it
at the beggining of rb_ractor_t and declare it in vm_core.h so
vm_core.h can access rb_ractor_pub fields.
Now rb_ec_ractor_hooks() is a complete inline function and no
MJIT related issue.
ObjectSpace._id2ref(id) can return any objects even if they are
unshareable, so this patch raises RangeError if it runs on multi-ractor
mode and the found object is unshareable.
Per ractor method cache (GH-#3842) only cached 1 page and this patch
caches several pages to keep at least 512 free slots if available.
If you increase the number of cached free slots, all cached slots
will be collected when the GC is invoked.
A program with multiple ractors can consume more objects per
unit time, so this patch set minimum/maximum free_slots to
relative to ractors count (upto 8).
Lazy sweep tries to collect free (unused) slots incrementally, and
it only collect a few pages. This patch makes lazy sweep collects
more objects (at least 2048 objects) and GC overhead of multi-ractor
execution will be reduced.
Write barrier requires VM lock because it accesses VM global bitmap
but RB_VM_LOCK_ENTER() can invoke GC because another ractor can wait
to invoke GC and RB_VM_LOCK_ENTER() is barrier point. This means that
before protecting by a write barrier, GC can invoke.
To prevent such situation, RB_VM_LOCK_ENTER_NO_BARRIER() is introduced.
This lock primitive does not become GC barrier points.
Now object allocation requires VM global lock to synchronize objspace.
However, of course, it introduces huge overhead.
This patch caches some slots (in a page) by each ractor and use cached
slots for object allocation. If there is no cached slots, acquire the global lock
and get new cached slots, or start GC (marking or lazy sweeping).
This seems to be breaking the build for some reason.
This command can reproduce it:
`make yes-test-all TESTS=--repeat-count=20`
This reverts commit 88bb1a672c.
Incremental sweeping should sweep until we find a slot for objects to
use. `heap_increment` was adding a page to the heap even though we
would sweep immediately after.

To manage ractor-local data for C extension, the following APIs
are defined.
* rb_ractor_local_storage_value_newkey
* rb_ractor_local_storage_value
* rb_ractor_local_storage_value_set
* rb_ractor_local_storage_ptr_newkey
* rb_ractor_local_storage_ptr
* rb_ractor_local_storage_ptr_set
At first, you need to create a key of storage by
rb_ractor_local_(value|ptr)_newkey().
For ptr storage, it accepts the type of storage,
how to mark and how to free with ractor's lifetime.
rb_ractor_local_storage_value/set are used to access a VALUE
and rb_ractor_local_storage_ptr/set are used to access a pointer.
random.c uses this API.
Both explicit compaction routines (gc_compact and the verify references form)
need to clear the heap before executing compaction. Otherwise some
objects may not be alive, and we'll need the read barrier. The heap
must only contain *live* objects if we want to disable the read barrier
during explicit compaction.
The previous commit was missing the "clear the heap" phase from the
"verify references" explicit compaction function.
Fixes [Bug #17306]
Auto Compaction uses mprotect to implement a read barrier. mprotect can
only work on regions of memory that are a multiple of the OS page size.
Ruby's pages are a multiple of 4kb, but some platforms (like ppc64le)
don't have 4kb page sizes. This commit disables the features on those
platforms.
Fixes [Bug #17306]
To make some kind of Ractor related extensions, some functions
should be exposed.
* include/ruby/thread_native.h
* rb_native_mutex_*
* rb_native_cond_*
* include/ruby/ractor.h
* RB_OBJ_SHAREABLE_P(obj)
* rb_ractor_shareable_p(obj)
* rb_ractor_std*()
* rb_cRactor
and rm ractor_pub.h
and rename srcdir/ractor.h to srcdir/ractor_core.h
(to avoid conflict with include/ruby/ractor.h)
* `GC.auto_compact=`, `GC.auto_compact` can be used to control when
compaction runs. Setting `auto_compact=` to true will cause
compaction to occurr duing major collections. At the moment,
compaction adds significant overhead to major collections, so please
test first!
