* Allows macOS users to use M:N threads (and technically FreeBSD, though it has not been verified on FreeBSD)
* Include sys/event.h header check for macros, and include sys/event.h when present
* Rename epoll_fd to more generic kq_fd (Kernel event Queue) for use by both epoll and kqueue
* MAP_STACK is not available on macOS so conditionall apply it to mmap flags
* Set fd to close on exec
* Log debug messages specific to kqueue and epoll on creation
* close_invalidate raises an error for the kqueue fd on child process fork. It's unclear rn if that's a bug, or if it's kqueue specific behavior
Use kq with rb_thread_wait_for_single_fd
* Only platforms with `USE_POLL` (linux) had changes applied to take advantage of kernel event queues. It needed to be applied to the `select` so that kqueue could be properly applied
* Clean up kqueue specific code and make sure only flags that were actually set are removed (or an error is raised)
* Also handle kevent specific errnos, since most don't apply from epoll to kqueue
* Use the more platform standard close-on-exec approach of `fcntl` and `FD_CLOEXEC`. The io-event gem uses `ioctl`, but fcntl seems to be the recommended choice. It is also what Go, Bun, and Libuv use
* We're making changes in this file anyways - may as well fix a couple spelling mistakes while here
Make sure FD_CLOEXEC carries over in dup
* Otherwise the kqueue descriptor should have FD_CLOEXEC, but doesn't and fails in assert_close_on_exec
This patch introduce M:N thread scheduler for Ractor system.
In general, M:N thread scheduler employs N native threads (OS threads)
to manage M user-level threads (Ruby threads in this case).
On the Ruby interpreter, 1 native thread is provided for 1 Ractor
and all Ruby threads are managed by the native thread.
From Ruby 1.9, the interpreter uses 1:1 thread scheduler which means
1 Ruby thread has 1 native thread. M:N scheduler change this strategy.
Because of compatibility issue (and stableness issue of the implementation)
main Ractor doesn't use M:N scheduler on default. On the other words,
threads on the main Ractor will be managed with 1:1 thread scheduler.
There are additional settings by environment variables:
`RUBY_MN_THREADS=1` enables M:N thread scheduler on the main ractor.
Note that non-main ractors use the M:N scheduler without this
configuration. With this configuration, single ractor applications
run threads on M:1 thread scheduler (green threads, user-level threads).
`RUBY_MAX_CPU=n` specifies maximum number of native threads for
M:N scheduler (default: 8).
This patch will be reverted soon if non-easy issues are found.
[Bug #19842]
`Process::Status#&` and `Process::Status#>>` are provided only for
the backward compatibility with older Ruby than 1.8 where `$?` was
a `Fixnum`, and the knowledge about internals of system dependent
macros is necessary to use them. Modern programs and libraries
should not need these methods.
- Signal names can be symbols, as stated above.
- Supported signals and those values are platform dependent.
- Key sequences to send signal are configurable.
- Fix description of signal 0.

This commit adds `free_empty_pages` which frees all empty heap pages and
moves the number of pages freed to the allocatable pages counter. This
is used in Process.warmup to improve performance because page
invalidation from copy-on-write is slower than allocating a new page.
This both save time for when it will be eventually needed,
and avoid mutating heap pages after a potential fork.
Instrumenting some large Rails app, I've witnessed up to
58% of String instances having their coderange still unknown.
[Feature #18885]
For now, the optimizations performed are:
- Run a major GC
- Compact the heap
- Promote all surviving objects to oldgen
Other optimizations may follow.
* Add rb_io_path and rb_io_open_descriptor.
* Use rb_io_open_descriptor to create PTY objects
* Rename FMODE_PREP -> FMODE_EXTERNAL and expose it
FMODE_PREP I believe refers to the concept of a "pre-prepared" file, but
FMODE_EXTERNAL is clearer about what the file descriptor represents and
aligns with language in the IO::Buffer module.
* Ensure that rb_io_open_descriptor closes the FD if it fails
If FMODE_EXTERNAL is not set, then it's guaranteed that Ruby will be
responsible for closing your file, eventually, if you pass it to
rb_io_open_descriptor, even if it raises an exception.
* Rename IS_EXTERNAL_FD -> RUBY_IO_EXTERNAL_P
* Expose `rb_io_closed_p`.
* Add `rb_io_mode` to get IO mode.
