constant cache `IC` is accessed by non-atomic manner and there are
thread-safety issues, so Ruby 3.0 disables to use const cache on
non-main ractors.
This patch enables it by introducing `imemo_constcache` and allocates
it by every re-fill of const cache like `imemo_callcache`.
[Bug #17510]
Now `IC` only has one entry `IC::entry` and it points to
`iseq_inline_constant_cache_entry`, managed by T_IMEMO object.
`IC` is atomic data structure so `rb_mjit_before_vm_ic_update()` and
`rb_mjit_after_vm_ic_update()` is not needed.
Some tunings.
* add `inline` for vm_sendish()
* pass enum instead of func ptr to vm_sendish()
* reorder initial order of `calling` struct.
* add ALWAYS_INLINE for vm_search_method_fastpath()
* call vm_search_method_fastpath() from vm_sendish()
`cd` is passed to method call functions to method invocation
functions, but `cd` can be manipulated by other ractors simultaneously
so it contains thread-safety issue.
To solve this issue, this patch stores `ci` and found `cc` to `calling`
and stops to pass `cd`.
iv_index_tbl manages instance variable indexes (ID -> index).
This data structure should be synchronized with other ractors
so introduce some VM locks.
This patch also introduced atomic ivar cache used by
set/getinlinecache instructions. To make updating ivar cache (IVC),
we changed iv_index_tbl data structure to manage (ID -> entry)
and an entry points serial and index. IVC points to this entry so
that cache update becomes atomically.
Noticed that struct rb_builtin_function is a purely compile-time
constant. MJIT can eliminate some runtime calculations by statically
generate dedicated C code generator for each builtin functions.
Use ID instead of GENTRY for gvars.
Global variables are compiled into GENTRY (a pointer to struct
rb_global_entry). This patch replace this GENTRY to ID and
make the code simple.
We need to search GENTRY from ID every time (st_lookup), so
additional overhead will be introduced.
However, the performance of accessing global variables is not
important now a day and this simplicity helps Ractor development.
These two function were almost identical, except in case of
T_STRING/T_FLOAT. Why not merge them into one, and let the difference be
handled in normal method calls (slowpath). This does not improve
runtime performance for me, but at least reduces for instance rb_eql_opt
from 653 bytes to 86 bytes on my machine, according to nm(1).
This changes the following warnings:
* warning: class variable access from toplevel
* warning: class variable @foo of D is overtaken by C
into RuntimeErrors. Handle defined?(@@foo) at toplevel
by returning nil instead of raising an exception (the previous
behavior warned before returning nil when defined? was used).
Refactor the specs to avoid the warnings even in older versions.
The specs were checking for the warnings, but the purpose of
the related specs as evidenced from their description is to
test for behavior, not for warnings.
Fixes [Bug #14541]
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.
This commit introduces an "inline ivar cache" struct. The reason we
need this is so compaction can differentiate from an ivar cache and a
regular inline cache. Regular inline caches contain references to
`VALUE` and ivar caches just contain references to the ivar index. With
this new struct we can easily update references for inline caches (but
not inline var caches as they just contain an int)
Asynchronous events such as signal trap, finalization timing,
thread switching and so on are managed by "interrupt_flag".
Ruby's threads check this flag periodically and if a thread
does not check this flag, above events doesn't happen.
This checking is CHECK_INTS() (related) macro and it is placed
at some places (laeve instruction and so on). However, at the end
of C methods, C blocks (IMEMO_IFUNC) etc there are no checking
and it can introduce uninterruptible thread.
To modify this situation, we decide to place CHECK_INTS() at
vm_pop_frame(). It increases interrupt checking points.
[Bug #16366]
This patch can introduce unexpected events...
opt_invokebuiltin_delegate and opt_invokebuiltin_delegate_leave
invokes builtin functions with same parameters of the method.
This technique eliminate stack push operations. However, delegation
parameters should be completely same as given parameters.
(e.g. `def foo(a, b, c) __builtin_foo(a, b, c)` is okay, but
__builtin_foo(b, c) is not allowed)
This patch relaxes this restriction. ISeq has a local variables
table which includes parameters. For example, the method defined
as `def foo(a, b, c) x=y=nil`, then local variables table contains
[a, b, c, x, y]. If calling builtin-function with arguments which
are sub-array of the lvar table, use opt_invokebuiltin_delegate
instruction with start index. For example, `__builtin_foo(b, c)`,
`__builtin_bar(c, x, y)` is okay, and so on.
vm_invoke_builtin() accesses VM stack via cfp->sp. However, MJIT
can use their own stack. To access them appropriately, we need to
use STACK_ADDR_FROM_TOP().
Support loading builtin features written in Ruby, which implement
with C builtin functions.
[Feature #16254]
Several features:
(1) Load .rb file at boottime with native binary.
Now, prelude.rb is loaded at boottime. However, this file is contained
into the interpreter as a text format and we need to compile it.
This patch contains a feature to load from binary format.
(2) __builtin_func() in Ruby call func() written in C.
In Ruby file, we can write `__builtin_func()` like method call.
However this is not a method call, but special syntax to call
a function `func()` written in C. C functions should be defined
in a file (same compile unit) which load this .rb file.
Functions (`func` in above example) should be defined with
(a) 1st parameter: rb_execution_context_t *ec
(b) rest parameters (0 to 15).
(c) VALUE return type.
This is very similar requirements for functions used by
rb_define_method(), however `rb_execution_context_t *ec`
is new requirement.
(3) automatic C code generation from .rb files.
tool/mk_builtin_loader.rb creates a C code to load .rb files
needed by miniruby and ruby command. This script is run by
BASERUBY, so *.rb should be written in BASERUBY compatbile
syntax. This script load a .rb file and find all of __builtin_
prefix method calls, and generate a part of C code to export
functions.
tool/mk_builtin_binary.rb creates a C code which contains
binary compiled Ruby files needed by ruby command.
To perform a regular method call, the VM needs two structs,
`rb_call_info` and `rb_call_cache`. At the moment, we allocate these two
structures in separate buffers. In the worst case, the CPU needs to read
4 cache lines to complete a method call. Putting the two structures
together reduces the maximum number of cache line reads to 2.
Combining the structures also saves 8 bytes per call site as the current
layout uses separate two pointers for the call info and the call cache.
This saves about 2 MiB on Discourse.
This change improves the Optcarrot benchmark at least 3%. For more
details, see attached bugs.ruby-lang.org ticket.
Complications:
- A new instruction attribute `comptime_sp_inc` is introduced to
calculate SP increase at compile time without using call caches. At
compile time, a `TS_CALLDATA` operand points to a call info struct, but
at runtime, the same operand points to a call data struct. Instruction
that explicitly define `sp_inc` also need to define `comptime_sp_inc`.
- MJIT code for copying call cache becomes slightly more complicated.
- This changes the bytecode format, which might break existing tools.
[Misc #16258]
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
```
At last, not only myself but also your compiler are fully confident
that the method entries pointed from call caches are immutable. We
don't have to worry about silent updates. Just delete the branch
that is now always false.

I noticed that in case of cache misshit, re-calculated cc->me can
be the same method entry than the pevious one. That is an okay
situation but can't we partially reuse the cache, because cc->call
should still be valid then?
One thing that has to be special-cased is when the method entry
gets amended by some refinements. That happens behind-the-scene
of call cache mechanism. We have to check if cc->me->def points to
the previously saved one.

Some tooling depends on the current bytecode, and adding an operand
changes the bytecode. While tooling can be updated for new bytecode,
this support doesn't warrant such a change.
This was an intentional bug added in 1.9.
The approach taken here is to add a second operand to the
getconstant instruction for whether nil should be allowed and
treated as current scope.
Fixes [Bug #11718]
* insns.def: add definemethod and definesmethod (singleton method)
instructions. Old YARV contains these instructions, but it is moved
to methods of FrozenCore class because remove number of instructions
can improve performance for some techniques (static stack caching
and so on). However, we don't employ these technique and it is hard
to optimize/analysis definition sequence. So I decide to introduce
them (and remove definition methods). `putiseq` insn is also removed.
* vm_method.c (rb_scope_visibility_get): renamed to
`vm_scope_visibility_get()` and make it accept `ec`.
Same for `vm_scope_module_func_check()`.
These fixes are result of refactoring `vm_define_method`.
* vm_insnhelper.c (rb_vm_get_cref): renamed to `vm_get_cref`
because of consistency with other functions.
