Ticket #4152: papi-native.dpatch

Tue Jun 22 14:59:53 CDT 2010  dmp@rice.edu
  * Add support for collecting PAPI native events
  
  This patch extends the PAPI support in the RTS to allow collection of native
  events. PAPI can collect data for native events that are exposed by the
  hardware beyond the PAPI present events. The native events supported on your
  hardware can found by using the papi_native_avail tool.
  
  The RTS already allows users to specify PAPI preset events from the command
  line. This patch extends that support to allow users to specify native events.
  The changes needed are:
  
  1) New option (#) for the RTS PAPI flag for native events. For example, to
     collect the native event 0x40000000, use ./a.out +RTS -a#0x40000000 -sstderr
  
  2) Update the PAPI_FLAGS struct to store whether the user specified event is a
     papi preset or a native event
  
  3) Update init_countable_events function to add the native events after parsing
     the event code and decoding the name using PAPI_event_code_to_name

 Quick summary of performance is that for the 'nofib' benchmark suite, runtimes
 are within 5% slower than the NCG and generally better than the C code
 generator.  For some code though, such as the DPH projects benchmark, the LLVM
 code generator outperforms the NCG and C code generator by about a 25%
 reduction in run times.

 This is a long-lurking bug that has been flushed into

 I really hate the contortions we have to do through to keep correct
 CafRef information on top-level binders.  The Right Thing, I believe,
 is to compute CAF and arity information later, and merge it into the
 interface-file information when the latter is generated.
 
 But for now, this hackily fixes the problem.

 See Note [DFun unfoldings] in CoreSyn.  The issue here is that 
 you can't tell how many dictionary arguments a DFun needs just
 from looking at the Arity of the DFun Id: if the dictionary is
 represented by a newtype the arity might include the dictionary
 and value arguments of the (single) method.
 
 So we need to record the number of arguments need by the DFun
 in the DFunUnfolding itself.  Details in

 Ignore-this: 6686f6cdb878d57abf6b49fec64fcbb1
 
 This patch fixes Trac #4056, by 
 
  a) tidying up the treatment of default method names
  b) removing the 'module' argument to newTopSrcBinder
 
 The details aren't that interesting, but the result
 is much tidier. The original bug was a 'nameModule' panic,
 caused by trying to find the module of a top-level name.
 But TH quotes generate Internal top-level names that don't
 have a module, and that is generally a good thing.  
 
 Fixing that in turn led to the default-method refactoring,
 which also makes the Name for a default method be handled
 in the same way as other derived names, generated in BuildTyCl
 via a call newImplicitBinder.  Hurrah.

 With glibc, things like _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _ISOC99_SOURCE are

 turns out we only need to define _POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE to

 Later packages are supposed to shadow earlier ones in the stack,
 unless the ordering is overriden with -package-id flags.
 Unfortunately an earlier fix for something else had sorted the list of
 packages so that it was in lexicographic order by installedPackageId,
 and sadly our test (cabal/shadow) didn't pick this up because the
 lexicographic ordering happened to work for the test.  I've now fixed
 the test so it tries both orderings.

 Warning about useless UNPACK pragmas wasn't as easy as I thought.
 I did quite a bit of refactoring, which improved the code by refining
 the types somewhat.  In particular notice that in DataCon, we have
 
     dcStrictMarks   :: [HsBang]
     dcRepStrictness :: [StrictnessMarks]
 
 The former relates to the *source-code* annotation, the latter to
 GHC's representation choice.

[Make tcg_dus behave more sanely; fixes a mkUsageInfo panic
simonpj@microsoft.com**20100506162719
 Ignore-this: d000bca15b0e127e297378ded1bfb81b
 
 The tcg_dus field used to contain *uses* of type and class decls,
 but not *defs*.  That was inconsistent, and it really went wrong
 for Template Haskell bracket.  What happened was that
  foo = [d| data A = A
                   f :: A -> A
                   f x = x |]
 would find a "use" of A when processing the top level of the module,
 which in turn led to a mkUsageInfo panic in MkIface.  The cause was
 the fact that the tcg_dus for the nested quote didn't have defs for
 A.

 The issue here is that

     f
     data A = A
 
 is treated as if you'd written $(f); that is the call of
 f is a top-level Template Haskell splice.  This patch 
 makes sure that we *first* check the -XTemplateHaskellFlag
 and bleat about a parse error if it's off.  Othewise we
 get strange seeing "A is out of scope" errors.

 This patch has zero effect.  It includes comments,
 a bit of refactoring, and a tiny bit of commment-out
 code go implement the "matching cases" idea below.
 
 In the end I've left it disabled because while I think
 it does no harm I don't think it'll do any good either.
 But I didn't want to lose the idea totally. There's
 a thread called "Storable and constant memory" on
 the libraries@haskell.org list (Apr 2010) about it.
 
 Note [Matching cases]
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 {- NOTE: This idea is currently disabled.  It really only works if
          the primops involved are OkForSpeculation, and, since
         they have side effects readIntOfAddr and touch are not.
         Maybe we'll get back to this later .  -}
   
 Consider
    f (case readIntOffAddr# p# i# realWorld# of { (# s#, n# #) ->
       case touch# fp s# of { _ -> 
       I# n# } } )
 This happened in a tight loop generated by stream fusion that 
 Roman encountered.  We'd like to treat this just like the let 
 case, because the primops concerned are ok-for-speculation.
 That is, we'd like to behave as if it had been
    case readIntOffAddr# p# i# realWorld# of { (# s#, n# #) ->
    case touch# fp s# of { _ -> 
    f (I# n# } } )

 Ignore-this: 33330474fa4703f32bf9997462b4bf3c
 If the command line contains any Haskell source files, then we behave
 as if --make had been given.
 
 The meaning of the -c flag has changed (back): -c now selects one-shot
 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
 file to be emitted in certain cases.  I've tidied up the code, there
 was no need for -fno-code to be a "mode" flag, as far as I can tell.
 
 -fno-code does not emit interface files, nor does it do recompilation
 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
 that.  Compiling with -fno-code is pretty quick anyway, perhaps we can
 get away without recompilation checking.

[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.

 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.

[do_checks: do not set HpAlloc if the stack check fails

 Ignore-this: 899ac8c29ca975d03952dbf4608d758
 
 This fixes a very rare heap corruption bug, whereby
 
  - a context switch is requested, which sets HpLim to zero
    (contextSwitchCapability(), called by the timer signal or
    another Capability).
 
  - simultaneously a stack check fails, in a code fragment that has
    both a stack and a heap check.
 
 The RTS then assumes that a heap-check failure has occurred and
 subtracts HpAlloc from Hp, although in fact it was a stack-check
 failure and retreating Hp will overwrite valid heap objects.  The bug
 is that HpAlloc should only be set when Hp has been incremented by the
 heap check.  See comments in rts/HeapStackCheck.cmm for more details.
 
 This bug is probably incredibly rare in practice, but I happened to be
 working on a test that triggers it reliably:
 concurrent/should_run/throwto001, compiled with -O -threaded, args 30
 300 +RTS -N2, run repeatedly in a loop.

 Fixes a rare crash in the parallel GC.
 
 If we copy a closure non-atomically during GC, as we do for all
 immutable values, then before writing the forwarding pointer we better
 make sure that the closure itself is visible to other threads that
 might follow the forwarding pointer.  I imagine this doesn't happen
 very often, but I just found one case of it: in scavenge_stack, the
 RET_FUN case, after evacuating ret_fun->fun we then follow it and look
