Major refactoring of the type inference engine

This patch embodies many, many changes to the contraint solver, which
make it simpler, more robust, and more beautiful.  But it has taken
me ages to get right. The forcing issue was some obscure programs
involving recursive dictionaries, but these eventually led to a
massive refactoring sweep.

Main changes are:
 * No more "frozen errors" in the monad.  Instead "insoluble
   constraints" are now part of the WantedConstraints type.

 * The WantedConstraint type is a product of bags, instead of (as
   before) a bag of sums.  This eliminates a good deal of tagging and
   untagging.

 * This same WantedConstraints data type is used
     - As the way that constraints are gathered
     - As a field of an implication constraint
     - As both argument and result of solveWanted
     - As the argument to reportUnsolved

 * We do not generate any evidence for Derived constraints. They are
   purely there to allow "impovement" by unifying unification
   variables.

 * In consequence, nothing is ever *rewritten* by a Derived
   constraint.  This removes, by construction, all the horrible
   potential recursive-dictionary loops that were making us tear our
   hair out.  No more isGoodRecEv search either. Hurrah!

 * We add the superclass Derived constraints during canonicalisation,
   after checking for duplicates.  So fewer superclass constraints
   are generated than before.

 * Skolem tc-tyvars no longer carry SkolemInfo.  Instead, the
   SkolemInfo lives in the GivenLoc of the Implication, where it
   can be tidied, zonked, and substituted nicely.  This alone is
   a major improvement.

 * Tidying is improved, so that we tend to get t1, t2, t3, rather
   than t1, t11, t111, etc

   Moreover, unification variables are always printed with a digit
   (thus a0, a1, etc), so that plain 'a' is available for a skolem
   arising from a type signature etc. In this way,
     (a) We quietly say which variables are unification variables,
         for those who know and care
     (b) Types tend to get printed as the user expects.  If he writes
             f :: a -> a
             f = ...blah...
         then types involving 'a' get printed with 'a', rather than
         some tidied variant.

 * There are significant improvements in error messages, notably
   in the "Cannot deduce X from Y" messages.

Do dependency analysis when kind-checking type declarations

This patch fixes Trac #4875.  The main point is to do dependency
analysis on type and class declarations, and kind-check them in
dependency order, so as to improve error messages.

This patch means that a few programs that would typecheck before won't
typecheck any more; but before we were (naughtily) going beyond
Haskell 98 without any language-extension flags, and Trac #4875
convinces me that doing so is a Bad Idea.

Here's an example that won't typecheck any more
       data T a b = MkT (a b)
       type F k = T k Maybe

If you look at T on its own you'd default 'a' to kind *->*;
and then kind-checking would fail on F.

But GHC currently accepts this program beause it looks at
the *occurrences* of T.

What arity does f have?  Really it should have arity 2, but a naive

This makes things more robust to the way in which you write code.  For
example, see Trac #4474 which is fixed by this change.

boundTaskExiting: don't set task->stopped unless this is the last call (#4850)
The bug in this case was that we had a worker thread making a foreign
call which invoked a callback (in this case it was performGC, I
think).  When the callback ended, boundTaskExiting() was setting
task->stopped, but the Task is now per-OS-thread, so it is shared by
the worker that made the original foreign call.  When the foreign call
returned, because task->stopped was set, the worker was not placed on
the queue of spare workers.  Somehow the worker woke up again, and
found the spare_workers queue empty, which lead to a crash.

Two bugs here: task->stopped should not have been set by
boundTaskExiting (this broke when I split the Task and InCall structs,
in 6.12.2), and releaseCapabilityAndQueueWorker() should not be
testing task->stopped anyway, because it should only ever be called
when task->stopped is false (this is now an assertion).

Simon Marlow [Wed, 15 Dec 2010 12:08:43 +0000 (12:08 +0000)]
Implement stack chunks and separate TSO/STACK objects

This patch makes two changes to the way stacks are managed:

1. The stack is now stored in a separate object from the TSO.

This means that it is easier to replace the stack object for a thread
when the stack overflows or underflows; we don't have to leave behind
the old TSO as an indirection any more.  Consequently, we can remove
ThreadRelocated and deRefTSO(), which were a pain.

This is obviously the right thing, but the last time I tried to do it
it made performance worse.  This time I seem to have cracked it.

2. Stacks are now represented as a chain of chunks, rather than
   a single monolithic object.

The big advantage here is that individual chunks are marked clean or
dirty according to whether they contain pointers to the young
generation, and the GC can avoid traversing clean stack chunks during
a young-generation collection.  This means that programs with deep
stacks will see a big saving in GC overhead when using the default GC
settings.

A secondary advantage is that there is much less copying involved as
the stack grows.  Programs that quickly grow a deep stack will see big
improvements.

In some ways the implementation is simpler, as nothing special needs
to be done to reclaim stack as the stack shrinks (the GC just recovers
the dead stack chunks).  On the other hand, we have to manage stack
underflow between chunks, so there's a new stack frame
(UNDERFLOW_FRAME), and we now have separate TSO and STACK objects.
The total amount of code is probably about the same as before.

There are new RTS flags:

   -ki<size> Sets the initial thread stack size (default 1k)  Egs: -ki4k -ki2m
   -kc<size> Sets the stack chunk size (default 32k)
   -kb<size> Sets the stack chunk buffer size (default 1k)

-ki was previously called just -k, and the old name is still accepted
for backwards compatibility.  These new options are documented.
