* Small optimization in the SRT algorithmÖmer Sinan Ağacan2019-08-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Noticed by @simonmar in !1362: If the srtEntry is Nothing, then it should be safe to omit references to this SRT from other SRTs, even if it is a static function. When updating SRT map we don't omit references to static functions (see Note [Invalid optimisation: shortcutting]), but there's no reason to add an SRT entry for a static function if the function is not CAFFY. (Previously we'd add SRT entries for static functions even when they're not CAFFY) Using 9151b99e I checked sizes of all SRTs when building GHC and containers: - GHC: 583736 (HEAD), 581695 (this patch). 2041 less SRT entries. - containers: 2457 (HEAD), 2381 (this patch). 76 less SRT entries.
* Remove unused imports of the form 'import foo ()' (Fixes #17065)James Foster2019-08-151-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | These kinds of imports are necessary in some cases such as importing instances of typeclasses or intentionally creating dependencies in the build system, but '-Wunused-imports' can't detect when they are no longer needed. This commit removes the unused ones currently in the code base (not including test files or submodules), with the hope that doing so may increase parallelism in the build system by removing unnecessary dependencies.

* Move 'Platform' to ghc-bootJohn Ericson2019-06-191-1/+1

* Fix a bug in SRT generation (#15892)Simon Marlow2018-11-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: The logic in `Note [recursive SRTs]` was correct. However, my implementation of it wasn't: I got the associativity of `Set.difference` wrong, which led to an extremely subtle and difficult to find bug. Fortunately now we have a test case. I was able to cut down the code to something manageable, and I've added it to the test suite.

* Disable the SRT offset optimisation on MachO platformsBen Gamari2018-05-231-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unfortunately, this optimisation is infeasible on MachO platforms (e.g. Darwin) due to an object format limitation. Specifically, linking fails with errors of the form: error: unsupported relocation with subtraction expression, symbol '_integerzmgmp_GHCziIntegerziType_quotInteger_closure' can not be undefined in a subtraction expression Apparently MachO does not permit relocations' subtraction expressions to refer to undefined symbols. As far as I can tell this means that it is essentially impossible to express an offset between symbols living in different compilation units. This means that we lively can't use this optimisation on MachO platforms.

* Fix a bug in SRT generationSimon Marlow2018-05-231-48/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: I had good intentions, but they were not being followed. In particular, this comment: ``` --- - we never resolve a reference to a CAF to the contents of its SRT, since --- the point of SRTs is to keep CAFs alive. ``` was not true, because we updated the srtMap after generating the SRT for a CAF. Therefore it was possible for another CAF to refer to an earlier CAF, and the reference to the earlier CAF would be shortcutted to refer to its SRT instead of pointing to the CAF itself. The fix is just to not update the srtMap when generating the SRT for a CAF, but I also refactored the code and comments around this to be a bit better organised.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: The idea here is to save a little code size and some work in the GC, by collapsing FUN_STATIC closures and their SRTs. This is (4) in a series; see D4632 for more details. There's a tradeoff here: more complexity in the compiler in exchange for a modest code size reduction (probably around 0.5%).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: An info table with an SRT normally looks like this: StgWord64 srt_offset StgClosureInfo layout StgWord32 layout StgWord32 has_srt But we only need 32 bits for srt_offset on x86_64, because the small memory model requires that code segments are at most 2GB. So we can optimise this to StgClosureInfo layout StgWord32 layout StgWord32 srt_offset saving a word. We can tell whether the info table has an SRT or not, because zero is not a valid srt_offset, so zero still indicates that there's no SRT. Test Plan: * validate * For results, see D4632.

* An overhaul of the SRT representationSimon Marlow2018-05-161-296/+617
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: - Previously we would hvae a single big table of pointers per module, with a set of bitmaps to reference entries within it. The new representation is identical to a static constructor, which is much simpler for the GC to traverse, and we get to remove the complicated bitmap-traversal code from the GC. - Rewrite all the code to generate SRTs in CmmBuildInfoTables, and document it much better (see Note [SRTs]). This has been something I've wanted to do since we moved to the new code generator, I finally had the opportunity to finish it while on a transatlantic flight recently :) There are a series of 4 diffs: 1. D4632 (this one), which does the bulk of the changes 2. D4633 which adds support for smaller `CmmLabelDiffOff` constants 3. D4634 which takes advantage of D4632 and D4633 to save a word in info tables that have an SRT on x86_64. This is where most of the binary size improvement comes from. 4. D4637 which makes a further optimisation to merge some SRTs with static FUN closures. This adds some complexity and the benefits are fairly modest, so it's not clear yet whether we should do this. Results (after (3), on x86_64) - GHC itself (staticaly linked) is 5.2% smaller - -1.7% binary sizes in nofib, -2.9% module sizes. Full nofib results: P176 - I measured the overhead of traversing all the static objects in a major GC in GHC itself by doing `replicateM_ 1000 performGC` as the first thing in `Main.main`. The new version was 5-10% faster, but the results did vary quite a bit. - I'm not sure if there's a compile-time difference, the results are too unreliable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This copies the subset of Hoopl's functionality needed by GHC to `cmm/Hoopl` and removes the dependency on the Hoopl package. The main motivation for this change is the confusing/noisy interface between GHC and Hoopl: - Hoopl has `Label` which is GHC's `BlockId` but different than GHC's `CLabel` - Hoopl has `Unique` which is different than GHC's `Unique` - Hoopl has `Unique{Map,Set}` which are different than GHC's `Uniq{FM,Set}` - GHC has its own specialized copy of `Dataflow`, so `cmm/Hoopl` is needed just to filter the exposed functions (filter out some of the Hoopl's and add the GHC ones) With this change, we'll be able to simplify this significantly. It'll also be much easier to do invasive changes (Hoopl is a public package on Hackage with users that depend on the current behavior) This should introduce no changes in functionality - it merely copies the relevant code.

There are already a slew of helper functions in `Util` such as `lengthIs` that are designed to do this efficiently, so I found every place where they ought to be used and did just that. I also defined a couple more utility functions for list length that were common patterns (e.g., `ltLength`).

* Produce new-style Cmm from the Cmm parserSimon Marlow2012-10-081-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main change here is that the Cmm parser now allows high-level cmm code with argument-passing and function calls. For example: foo ( gcptr a, bits32 b ) { if (b > 0) { // we can make tail calls passing arguments: jump stg_ap_0_fast(a); } return (x,y); } More details on the new cmm syntax are in Note [Syntax of .cmm files] in CmmParse.y. The old syntax is still more-or-less supported for those occasional code fragments that really need to explicitly manipulate the stack. However there are a couple of differences: it is now obligatory to give a list of live GlobalRegs on every jump, e.g. jump %ENTRY_CODE(Sp(0)) [R1]; Again, more details in Note [Syntax of .cmm files]. I have rewritten most of the .cmm files in the RTS into the new syntax, except for AutoApply.cmm which is generated by the genapply program: this file could be generated in the new syntax instead and would probably be better off for it, but I ran out of enthusiasm. Some other changes in this batch: - The PrimOp calling convention is gone, primops now use the ordinary NativeNodeCall convention. This means that primops and "foreign import prim" code must be written in high-level cmm, but they can now take more than 10 arguments. - CmmSink now does constant-folding (should fix #7219) - .cmm files now go through the cmmPipeline, and as a result we generate better code in many cases. All the object files generated for the RTS .cmm files are now smaller. Performance should be better too, but I haven't measured it yet. - RET_DYN frames are removed from the RTS, lots of code goes away - we now have some more canned GC points to cover unboxed-tuples with 2-4 pointers, which will reduce code size a little.

* Move wORD_SIZE into platformConstantsIan Lynagh2012-09-161-1/+1
|
* Move wORD_SIZE_IN_BITS to DynFlagsIan Lynagh2012-09-141-1/+1
| | | | This frees wORD_SIZE up to be moved out of HaskellConstants
* Pass DynFlags down to wordWidthIan Lynagh2012-09-121-22/+24

* Fix -split-objs with the new code generatorSimon Marlow2012-09-041-5/+4
| | | | | | We need to make the SRT label external and unique when splitting, because it is shared amongst all the functions in the module. Also some SRT-related cleanup.
* fix warningsSimon Marlow2012-07-301-1/+1

* New codegen: do not split proc-points when using the NCGSimon Marlow2012-07-301-40/+59
| | | | | | | | | Proc-point splitting is only required by backends that do not support having proc-points within a code block (that is, everything except the native backend, i.e. LLVM and C). Not doing proc-point splitting saves some compilation time, and might produce slightly better code in some cases.
* GHC 7.4 is now required for building HEADIan Lynagh2012-07-201-4/+0
