"experimental_everything" makes the assigned value, it means
the assignment change the state of assigned value.
"experimental_copy" tries to make a deep copy and make copyied object
sharable.
When `literal`, check if the literal about to be assigned to a
constant is ractor-shareable, otherwise raise `Ractor::Error` at
runtime instead of `SyntaxError`.
Ractor has several restrictions to keep each ractor being isolated
and some operation such as `CONST="foo"` in non-main ractor raises
an exception. This kind of operation raises an error but there is
confusion (some code raises RuntimeError and some code raises
NameError).
To make clear we introduce Ractor::IsolationError which is raised
when the isolation between ractors is violated.
to avoid SEGV on mjit_recompile and compact_all_jit_code.
For some reason, ISeqs on stack are sometimes GC-ed (why?) and therefore
it may run mjit_recompile on a GC-ed ISeq, which I expected d07183ec85
to fix but apparently it may refer to random things if already GC-ed.
Marking active_units would workaround the situation.

Also, while compact_all_jit_code was executed, we saw some SEGVs where
CCs seemed to be already GC-ed, meaning their owner ISeq was not marked
properly. Even if units are still in active_units, it's not guaranteed
that their ISeqs are in use. So in this case we need to mark active_units
for a legitimate reason.

The original motivation of this marking was https://github.com/k0kubun/yarv-mjit/issues/20.
As wanabe said, there are multiple options to mitigate the issue, and
Eric Wong introduced another fix at 143776f6fe by checking unit->iseq
inside the lock.
Therefore this particular condition has been covered in two ways, and
the script given by wanabe no longer crashes without mjit_mark().
On windows, MJIT doesn't work without this patch because of
the declaration of ruby_single_main_ractor. This patch fix this
issue and move the definition of it from ractor.c to vm.c to locate
near place of ruby_current_vm_ptr.
C extensions can violate the ractor-safety, so only ractor-safe
C extensions (C methods) can run on non-main ractors.
rb_ext_ractor_safe(true) declares that the successive
defined methods are ractor-safe. Otherwiwze, defined methods
checked they are invoked in main ractor and raise an error
if invoked at non-main ractors.
[Feature #17307]
The vm mark function should only check if the current frame is a local
or not and then mark values in that frame. Since it's walking up the
stack looking at each cfp, then all ep's should be examined.
This fixes a bug in the Rails tests where we're seeing segv in railties.
Thanks Yasuo Honda for giving me a reliable repro!
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!
[Feature #17176]
Ractor.make_shareable() supports Proc object if
(1) a Proc only read outer local variables (no assignments)
(2) read outer local variables are shareable.
Read local variables are stored in a snapshot, so after making
shareable Proc, any assignments are not affeect like that:
```ruby
a = 1
pr = Ractor.make_shareable(Proc.new{p a})
pr.call #=> 1
a = 2
pr.call #=> 1 # `a = 2` doesn't affect
```
[Feature #17284]
To access TLS, it is faster to use language TLS specifier instead
of using pthread_get/setspecific functions.
Original proposal is: Use native thread locals. #3665
We should let fibers update their own references on compaction. I don't
think we need the thread to update the associated fiber because there
will be a fiber object on the heap that knows how to update itself.
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.
If a module has an origin, and that module is included in another
module or class, previously the iclass created for the module had
an origin pointer to the module's origin instead of the iclass's
origin.
Setting the origin pointer correctly requires using a stack, since
the origin iclass is not created until after the iclass itself.
Use a hidden ruby array to implement that stack.
Correctly assigning the origin pointers in the iclass caused a
use-after-free in GC. If a module with an origin is included
in a class, the iclass shares a method table with the module
and the iclass origin shares a method table with module origin.
Mark iclass origin with a flag that notes that even though the
iclass is an origin, it shares a method table, so the method table
should not be garbage collected. The shared method table will be
garbage collected when the module origin is garbage collected.
I've tested that this does not introduce a memory leak.
This change caused a VM assertion failure, which was traced to callable
method entries using the incorrect defined_class. Update
rb_vm_check_redefinition_opt_method and find_defined_class_by_owner
to treat iclass origins different than class origins to avoid this
issue.
This also includes a fix for Module#included_modules to skip
iclasses with origins.
Fixes [Bug #16736]
Previously, passing a keyword splat to a method always allocated
a hash on the caller side, and accepting arbitrary keywords in
a method allocated a separate hash on the callee side. Passing
explicit keywords to a method that accepted a keyword splat
did not allocate a hash on the caller side, but resulted in two
hashes allocated on the callee side.
This commit makes passing a single keyword splat to a method not
allocate a hash on the caller side. Passing multiple keyword
splats or a mix of explicit keywords and a keyword splat still
generates a hash on the caller side. On the callee side,
if arbitrary keywords are not accepted, it does not allocate a
hash. If arbitrary keywords are accepted, it will allocate a
hash, but this commit uses a callinfo flag to indicate whether
the caller already allocated a hash, and if so, the callee can
use the passed hash without duplicating it. So this commit
should make it so that a maximum of a single hash is allocated
during method calls.
To set the callinfo flag appropriately, method call argument
compilation checks if only a single keyword splat is given.
If only one keyword splat is given, the VM_CALL_KW_SPLAT_MUT
callinfo flag is not set, since in that case the keyword
splat is passed directly and not mutable. If more than one
splat is used, a new hash needs to be generated on the caller
side, and in that case the callinfo flag is set, indicating
the keyword splat is mutable by the callee.
In compile_hash, used for both hash and keyword argument
compilation, if compiling keyword arguments and only a
single keyword splat is used, pass the argument directly.
On the caller side, in vm_args.c, the callinfo flag needs to
be recognized and handled. Because the keyword splat
argument may not be a hash, it needs to be converted to a
hash first if not. Then, unless the callinfo flag is set,
the hash needs to be duplicated. The temporary copy of the
callinfo flag, kw_flag, is updated if a hash was duplicated,
to prevent the need to duplicate it again. If we are
converting to a hash or duplicating a hash, we need to update
the argument array, which can including duplicating the
positional splat array if one was passed. CALLER_SETUP_ARG
and a couple other places needs to be modified to handle
similar issues for other types of calls.
This includes fairly comprehensive tests for different ways
keywords are handled internally, checking that you get equal
results but that keyword splats on the caller side result in
distinct objects for keyword rest parameters.
Included are benchmarks for keyword argument calls.
Brief results when compiled without optimization:
def kw(a: 1) a end
def kws(**kw) kw end
h = {a: 1}
kw(a: 1) # about same
kw(**h) # 2.37x faster
kws(a: 1) # 1.30x faster
kws(**h) # 2.19x faster
kw(a: 1, **h) # 1.03x slower
kw(**h, **h) # about same
kws(a: 1, **h) # 1.16x faster
kws(**h, **h) # 1.14x faster
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.
`make leaked-globals` points out that this function is leaked. This has
not been detected in our CI because it is defined only when
VM_CHECK_MODE is nonzero.
Just make it static and everytihng goes well.
