compilation, but stops before linking.  However, to retain backwards
compatibility, -c is still allowed with --make, and means the same as
--make -no-link.  The -no-link flag has been un-deprecated.

-fno-code is now allowed with --make (#3783); the fact that it was
disabled before was largely accidental, it seems.  We also had some
regressions in this area: it seems that -fno-code was causing a .hc

checking, as suggested in #3783.  This would make Haddock emit
interface files, for example, and I'm fairly sure we don't want to do

Simon Marlow [Thu, 1 Apr 2010 09:16:05 +0000 (09:16 +0000)]
Change the representation of the MVar blocked queue

The list of threads blocked on an MVar is now represented as a list of
separately allocated objects rather than being linked through the TSOs
themselves.  This lets us remove a TSO from the list in O(1) time
rather than O(n) time, by marking the list object.  Removing this
linear component fixes some pathalogical performance cases where many
threads were blocked on an MVar and became unreachable simultaneously
(nofib/smp/threads007), or when sending an asynchronous exception to a
TSO in a long list of thread blocked on an MVar.

MVar performance has actually improved by a few percent as a result of
this change, slightly to my surprise.

This is the final cleanup in the sequence, which let me remove the old
way of waking up threads (unblockOne(), MSG_WAKEUP) in favour of the
new way (tryWakeupThread and MSG_TRY_WAKEUP, which is idempotent).  It
is now the case that only the Capability that owns a TSO may modify
its state (well, almost), and this simplifies various things.  More of
the RTS is based on message-passing between Capabilities now.

New implementation of BLACKHOLEs

This replaces the global blackhole_queue with a clever scheme that
enables us to queue up blocked threads on the closure that they are
blocked on, while still avoiding atomic instructions in the common
case.

Advantages:

 - gets rid of a locked global data structure and some tricky GC code
   (replacing it with some per-thread data structures and different
   tricky GC code :)

 - wakeups are more prompt: parallel/concurrent performance should
   benefit.  I haven't seen anything dramatic in the parallel
   benchmarks so far, but a couple of threading benchmarks do improve
   a bit.

 - waking up a thread blocked on a blackhole is now O(1) (e.g. if
   it is the target of throwTo).

 - less sharing and better separation of Capabilities: communication
   is done with messages, the data structures are strictly owned by a
   Capability and cannot be modified except by sending messages.

 - this change will utlimately enable us to do more intelligent
   scheduling when threads block on each other.  This is what started
   off the whole thing, but it isn't done yet (#3838).

I'll be documenting all this on the wiki in due course.
