Simon Marlow [Thu, 14 Apr 2011 07:59:39 +0000 (08:59 +0100)]
Avoid accumulating slop in the pinned_object_block.

The pinned_object_block is where we allocate small pinned ByteArray#
objects.  At a GC the pinned_object_block was being treated like other
large objects and promoted to the next step/generation, even if it was
only partly full.  Under some ByteString-heavy workloads this would
accumulate on average 2k of slop per GC, and this memory is never
released until the ByteArray# objects in the block are freed.

So now, we keep allocating into the pinned_object_block until it is
completely full, at which point it is handed over to the GC as before.
The pinned_object_block might therefore contain objects which a large
range of ages, but I don't think this is any worse than the situation
before.  We still have the fragmentation issue in general, but the new
scheme can improve the memory overhead for some workloads
dramatically.

13 years agoChange the way module initialisation is done (#3252, #4417)

Change the way module initialisation is done (#3252, #4417)

Previously the code generator generated small code fragments labelled
with __stginit_M for each module M, and these performed whatever
initialisation was necessary for that module and recursively invoked
the initialisation functions for imported modules.  This appraoch had
drawbacks:

 - FFI users had to call hs_add_root() to ensure the correct
   initialisation routines were called.  This is a non-standard,
   and ugly, API.

 - unless we were using -split-objs, the __stginit dependencies would
   entail linking the whole transitive closure of modules imported,
   whether they were actually used or not.  In an extreme case (#4387,
   #4417), a module from GHC might be imported for use in Template
   Haskell or an annotation, and that would force the whole of GHC to
   be needlessly linked into the final executable.

So now instead we do our initialisation with C functions marked with
__attribute__((constructor)), which are automatically invoked at
program startup time (or DSO load-time).  The C initialisers are
emitted into the stub.c file.  This means that every time we compile
with -prof or -hpc, we now get a stub file, but thanks to #3687 that
is now invisible to the user.

There are some refactorings in the RTS (particularly for HPC) to
handle the fact that initialisers now get run earlier than they did
before.

The __stginit symbols are still generated, and the hs_add_root()
function still exists (but does nothing), for backwards compatibility.

Cleanup sweep and fix a bug in RTS flag processing.

pass cleans up a lot of the surrounding cruft but leaves the actual
argument processing alone - so there's still more that could be done.

Bug fixed:

  - ghc_rts_opts should not be subject to the --rtsopts setting.  If
    the programmer explicitly declares options with ghc_rts_opts, they
    shouldn't also have to accept command-line RTS options to make them
