* Lazily create singletons on instance_{exec,eval}
Previously when instance_exec or instance_eval was called on an object,
that object would be given a singleton class so that method
definitions inside the block would be added to the object rather than
its class.
This commit aims to improve performance by delaying the creation of the
singleton class unless/until one is needed for method definition. Most
of the time instance_eval is used without any method definition.
This was implemented by adding a flag to the cref indicating that it
represents a singleton of the object rather than a class itself. In this
case CREF_CLASS returns the object's existing class, but in cases that
we are defining a method (either via definemethod or
VM_SPECIAL_OBJECT_CBASE which is used for undef and alias).
This also happens to fix what I believe is a bug. Previously
instance_eval behaved differently with regards to constant access for
true/false/nil than for all other objects. I don't think this was
intentional.
String::Foo = "foo"
"".instance_eval("Foo") # => "foo"
Integer::Foo = "foo"
123.instance_eval("Foo") # => "foo"
TrueClass::Foo = "foo"
true.instance_eval("Foo") # NameError: uninitialized constant Foo
This also slightly changes the error message when trying to define a method
through instance_eval on an object which can't have a singleton class.
Before:
$ ruby -e '123.instance_eval { def foo; end }'
-e:1:in `block in <main>': no class/module to add method (TypeError)
After:
$ ./ruby -e '123.instance_eval { def foo; end }'
-e:1:in `block in <main>': can't define singleton (TypeError)
IMO this error is a small improvement on the original and better matches
the (both old and new) message when definging a method using `def self.`
$ ruby -e '123.instance_eval{ def self.foo; end }'
-e:1:in `block in <main>': can't define singleton (TypeError)

The main impetus for this change is to fix [Bug #13392]. Previously, we
fired the "return" TracePoint event after popping the stack frame for
the block running as method (BMETHOD). This gave undesirable source
location outputs as the return event normally fires right before the
frame going away.
The iseq for each block can run both as a block and as a method. To
accommodate that, this commit makes vm_trace() fire call/return events for
instructions that have b_call/b_return events attached when the iseq is
running as a BMETHOD. The logic for rewriting to "trace_*" instruction
is tweaked so that when the user listens to call/return events,
instructions with b_call/b_return become trace variants.
To continue to provide the return value for non-local returns done using
the "return" or "break" keyword inside BMETHODs, the stack unwinding
code is tweaked. b_return events now provide the same return value as
return events for these non-local cases. A pre-existing test deemed not
providing a return value for these b_return events as a limitation.
This commit removes the checks for call/return TracePoint events that
happen when calling into BMETHODs when no TracePoints are active.
Technically, migrating just the return event is enough to fix the bug,
but migrating both call and return removes our reliance on
`VM_FRAME_FLAG_FINISH` and re-entering the interpreter when the caller
is already in the interpreter.
Implements setclassvariable in yjit. Note that this version is not
faster than the standard version because we aren't handling the inline
cache in assembly. This is still important to implement because it will
prevent yjit from exiting in methods that call both a cvar setter and
other code that yjit can compile.

This provides a significant speedup for symbol, true, false,
nil, and 0-9, class/module, and a small speedup in most other cases.
Speedups (using included benchmarks):
:symbol :: 60%
0-9 :: 50%
Class/Module :: 50%
nil/true/false :: 20%
integer :: 10%
[] :: 10%
"" :: 3%
One reason this approach is faster is it reduces the number of
VM instructions for each interpolated value.
Initial idea, approach, and benchmarks from Eric Wong. I applied
the same approach against the master branch, updating it to handle
the significant internal changes since this was first proposed 4
years ago (such as CALL_INFO/CALL_CACHE -> CALL_DATA). I also
expanded it to optimize true/false/nil/0-9/class/module, and added
handling of missing methods, refined methods, and RUBY_DEBUG.
This renames the tostring insn to anytostring, and adds an
objtostring insn that implements the optimization. This requires
making a few functions non-static, and adding some non-static
functions.
This disables 4 YJIT tests. Those tests should be reenabled after
YJIT optimizes the new objtostring insn.

We only need the cref when we have a cache miss so don't look it up until we
need it. This likely speeds up class variable writes in the interpreter but
also simplifies the jit code.

* Clean up function signatures / remove dead code
rb_vm_getclassvariable signature has changed and we don't need
rb_vm_get_cref.

Compare with the C methods, A built-in methods written in Ruby is
slower if only mandatory parameters are given because it needs to
check the argumens and fill default values for optional and keyword
parameters (C methods can check the number of parameters with `argc`,
so there are no overhead). Passing mandatory arguments are common
(optional arguments are exceptional, in many cases) so it is important
to provide the fast path for such common cases.
`Primitive.mandatory_only?` is a special builtin function used with
`if` expression like that:
```ruby
def self.at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil)
if Primitive.mandatory_only?
Primitive.time_s_at1(time)
else
Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in))
end
end
```
and it makes two ISeq,
```
def self.at(time, subsec = false, unit = :microsecond, in: nil)
Primitive.time_s_at(time, subsec, unit, Primitive.arg!(:in))
end
def self.at(time)
Primitive.time_s_at1(time)
end
```
and (2) is pointed by (1). Note that `Primitive.mandatory_only?`
should be used only in a condition of an `if` statement and the
`if` statement should be equal to the methdo body (you can not
put any expression before and after the `if` statement).
A method entry with `mandatory_only?` (`Time.at` on the above case)
is marked as `iseq_overload`. When the method will be dispatch only
with mandatory arguments (`Time.at(0)` for example), make another
method entry with ISeq (2) as mandatory only method entry and it
will be cached in an inline method cache.
The idea is similar discussed in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16254
but it only checks mandatory parameters or more, because many cases
only mandatory parameters are given. If we find other cases (optional
or keyword parameters are used frequently and it hurts performance),
we can extend the feature.
In an effort to simplify the logic YJIT generates for accessing instance
variable, YJIT ensures that a given name-to-index mapping exists at
compile time. In the case that the mapping doesn't exist, it was created
by using rb_ivar_set() with Qundef on the sample object we see at
compile time. This hack isn't fine if the sample object happens to be
frozen, in which case YJIT would raise a FrozenError unexpectedly.
To deal with this, make a new function that only reserves the mapping
but doesn't touch the object. This is rb_obj_ensure_iv_index_mapping().
This new function superceeds the functionality of rb_iv_index_tbl_lookup()
so it was removed.
Reported by and includes a test case from John Hawthorn <john@hawthorn.email>

When YJIT make calls to routines without reconstructing interpreter
state through jit_prepare_routine_call(), it relies on the routine to
never allocate, raise, and push/pop control frames. Comment about this
on the routines that YJTI calls.
This is probably something we should dynamically verify on debug builds.
It's hard to statically verify this as it requires verifying all
functions in the call tree. Maybe something to look at in the future.
For upstreaming, we want functions we export either prefixed with "rb_"
or made static. Historically we haven't been following this rule, so we
were "leaking" a lot of symbols as `make leak-globals` would tell us.
This change unifies everything YJIT into a single compilation unit,
yjit.o, and makes everything unprefixed static to pass `make leak-globals`.
This manual "unified build" setup is similar to that of vm.o.
Having everything in one compilation unit allows static functions to
be visible across YJIT files and removes the need for declarations in
headers in some cases. Unnecessary declarations were removed.
Other changes of note:
- switched to MJIT_SYMBOL_EXPORT_BEGIN which indicates stuff as being
off limits for native extensions
- the first include of each YJIT file is change to be "internal.h"
- undefined MAP_STACK before explicitly redefining it since it
collide's with a definition in system headers. Consider renaming?
Before this change, when we encounter a constant cache that is specific
to a lexical scope, we unconditionally exit. This change falls back to
the interpreter's cache in this situation.
This should help constant expressions in `class << self`, which is popular
at Shopify due to the style guide.
This change relies on the cache being warm while compiling to detect the
need for checking the lexical scope for simplicity.
* Implement calls to methods with simple optional params
* Remove unnecessary MJIT_STATIC
See comment for MJIT_STATIC. I added it not knowing whether it's
required because the function next to it has it. Don't use it and wait
for problems to come up instead.
* Better naming, some comments
* Count bailing on kw only iseqs
On railsbench:
```
opt_send_without_block exit reasons:
bmethod 59729 (27.7%)
optimized_method 59137 (27.5%)
iseq_complex_callee 41362 (19.2%)
alias_method 33346 (15.5%)
callsite_not_simple 19170 ( 8.9%)
iseq_only_keywords 1300 ( 0.6%)
kw_splat 1299 ( 0.6%)
cfunc_ruby_array_varg 18 ( 0.0%)
```
Make sure `opt_getinlinecache` is in a block all on its own, and
invalidate it from the interpreter when `opt_setinlinecache`.
It will recompile with a filled cache the second time around.
This lets YJIT runs well when the IC for constant is cold.
Lazily compile out a chain of checks for different known classes and
whether `self` embeds its ivars or not.
* Remove trailing whitespaces
* Get proper addresss in Capstone disassembly
* Lowercase address in Capstone disassembly
Capstone uses lowercase for jump targets in generated listings. Let's
match it.
* Use the same successor in getivar guard chains
Cuts down on duplication
* Address reviews
* Fix copypasta error
* Add a comment
Pass in ec to vm_opt_newarray_{max,min}. Avoids having to
call GET_EC inside the functions, for better performance.
While here, add a test for Array#min/max being redefined to
test_optimization.rb.
Fixes [Bug #18180]
In vm_call_method_each_type, check for c_call and c_return events before
dispatching to vm_call_ivar and vm_call_attrset. With this approach, the
call cache will still dispatch directly to those functions, so this
change will only decrease performance for the first (uncached) call, and
even then, the performance decrease is very minimal.
This approach requires that we clear the call caches when tracing is
enabled or disabled. The approach currently switches all vm_call_ivar
and vm_call_attrset call caches to vm_call_general any time tracing is
enabled or disabled. So it could theoretically result in a slowdown for
code that constantly enables or disables tracing.
This approach does not handle targeted tracepoints, but from my testing,
c_call and c_return events are not supported for targeted tracepoints,
so that shouldn't matter.
This includes a benchmark showing the performance decrease is minimal
if detectable at all.

Extracted repeated code as update_classvariable_cache. When cvc
table is not set in getclassvariable, an empty table was created
but it has no id and would cause [BUG], so made the code same as
setclassvariable.
