14 years agoMake allocatePinned use local storage, and other refactorings
Simon Marlow [Tue, 1 Dec 2009 16:03:21 +0000 (16:03 +0000)]
Make allocatePinned use local storage, and other refactorings

This is a batch of refactoring to remove some of the GC's global
state, as we move towards CPU-local GC.

  - allocateLocal() now allocates large objects into the local
    nursery, rather than taking a global lock and allocating
    then in gen 0 step 0.

  - allocatePinned() was still allocating from global storage and
    taking a lock each time, now it uses local storage.
    (mallocForeignPtrBytes should be faster with -threaded).

  - We had a gen 0 step 0, distinct from the nurseries, which are
    stored in a separate nurseries[] array.  This is slightly strange.
    I removed the g0s0 global that pointed to gen 0 step 0, and
    removed all uses of it.  I think now we don't use gen 0 step 0 at
    all, except possibly when there is only one generation.  Possibly
    more tidying up is needed here.

  - I removed the global allocate() function, and renamed
    allocateLocal() to allocate().

  - the alloc_blocks global is gone.  MAYBE_GC() and
    doYouWantToGC() now check the local nursery only.

14 years agoImplement a new heap-tuning option: -H
Simon Marlow [Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:18:36 +0000 (15:18 +0000)]
Implement a new heap-tuning option: -H

-H alone causes the RTS to use a larger nursery, but without exceeding
the amount of memory that the application is already using.  It trades
off GC time against locality: the default setting is to use a
fixed-size 512k nursery, but this is sometimes worse than using a very
large nursery despite the worse locality.

Not all programs get faster, but some programs that use large heaps do
much better with -H.  e.g. this helps a lot with #3061 (binary-trees),
though not as much as specifying -H<large>.  Typically using -H<large>
is better than plain -H, because the runtime doesn't know ahead of
time how much memory you want to use.

Should -H be on by default?  I'm not sure, it makes some programs go
slower, but others go faster.

threadStackOverflow: check whether stack squeezing released some stack (#3677)

In a stack overflow situation, stack squeezing may reduce the stack
size, but we don't know whether it has been reduced enough for the
stack check to succeed if we try again.  Fortunately stack squeezing
is idempotent, so all we need to do is record whether *any* squeezing
happened.  If we are at the stack's absolute -K limit, and stack
squeezing happened, then we try running the thread again.

We also want to avoid enlarging the stack if squeezing has already
released some of it.  However, we don't want to get into a
pathalogical situation where a thread has a nearly full stack (near
its current limit, but not near the absolute -K limit), keeps
allocating a little bit, squeezing removes a little bit, and then it
runs again.  So to avoid this, if we squeezed *and* there is still
less than BLOCK_SIZE_W words free, then we enlarge the stack anyway.

Implement -fexpose-all-unfoldings, and fix a non-termination bug

The -fexpose-all-unfoldings flag arranges to put unfoldings for *everything*

it also makes it complete, and that's great for supercompilation; or indeed
any whole-program work.

Consequences:
  * Interface files need to record loop-breaker-hood.  (Previously,
    loop breakers were never exposed, so that info wasn't necessary.)
    Hence a small interface file format change.

  * When inlining, must check loop-breaker-hood. (Previously, loop
    breakers didn't have an unfolding at all, so no need to check.)

  * Ditto in exprIsConApp_maybe.  Roman actually tripped this bug,
    because a DFun, which had an unfolding, was also a loop breaker

  * TidyPgm.tidyIdInfo must be careful to preserve loop-breaker-hood

So Id.idUnfolding checks for loop-breaker-hood and returns NoUnfolding
if so. When you want the unfolding regardless of loop-breaker-hood,
use Id.realIdUnfolding.

I have not documented the flag yet, because it's experimental.  Nor
have I tested it thoroughly.  But with the flag off (the normal case)
everything should work.

Refactor case-merging and identical-alternative optimisations

These two optimisations were originally done by SimplUtils.mkCase
*after* all the pieces have been simplified.  Some while ago I
moved them *before*, so they were done by SimplUtils.prepareAlts.
It think the reason was that I couldn't rely on the dead-binder
information on OutIds, and that info is useful in these optimisations.

However,
 (a) Other changes (notably moving case-binder-swap to OccurAnal)
     have meant that dead-binder information is accurate in
     OutIds

 (b) When there is a cascade of case-merges, they happen in
     one sweep if you do it after, but in many sweeps if you
     do it before.  Reason: doing it after means you are looking
     at nice simplified Core.

Fix a nasty infelicity in the size computation of CoreUnfold

The size computation was treating gigantic case expressions as
practically free, which they really aren't.  It was exacerbated by
recent decisions to charge 0 for naked variables and constructors, so
the RHS of the case might look free too.  A good example was
Foreign.C.Error.errnoToIOError, which hsa lots of join points
that were getting inlined way to vigorously, so we had:

  *** Simplifier Phase 2 [main]:
      Result size = 2983
  *** Core Linted result of Simplifier mode 2 [main], iteration 1 out of 4:
      Result size = 640327
  *** Core Linted result of Simplifier mode 2 [main], iteration 2 out of 4:
      Result size = 1659

Notice that gigantic intermediate!

This patch adds a small charge for each *alternative*.  Of course,
that'll also mean that there's a bit less inling of things involving
case expressions.
