* Revert "Place static closures in their own section."Edward Z. Yang2014-10-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit b23ba2a7d612c6b466521399b33fe9aacf5c4f75. Conflicts: compiler/cmm/PprCmmDecl.hs compiler/nativeGen/PPC/Ppr.hs compiler/nativeGen/SPARC/Ppr.hs compiler/nativeGen/X86/Ppr.hs
* Place static closures in their own section.Edward Z. Yang2014-10-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: The primary reason for doing this is assisting debuggability: if static closures are all in the same section, they are guaranteed to be adjacent to one another. This will help later when we add some code that takes section start/end and uses this to sanity-check the sections. Part of remove HEAP_ALLOCED patch set (#8199) Signed-off-by: Edward Z.

* Rename PackageId to PackageKey, distinguishing it from Cabal's PackageId.Edward Z. Yang2014-07-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Previously, both Cabal and GHC defined the type PackageId, and we expected them to be roughly equivalent (but represented differently). This refactoring separates these two notions. A package ID is a user-visible identifier; it's the thing you write in a Cabal file, e.g. containers-0.9. The components of this ID are semantically meaningful, and decompose into a package name and a package vrsion. A package key is an opaque identifier used by GHC to generate linking symbols. Presently, it just consists of a package name and a package version, but pursuant to #9265 we are planning to extend it to record other information. Within a single executable, it uniquely identifies a package. It is *not* an InstalledPackageId, as the choice of a package key affects the ABI of a package (whereas an InstalledPackageId is computed after compilation.) Cabal computes a package key for the package and passes it to GHC using -package-name (now *extremely* misnamed). As an added bonus, we don't have to worry about shadowing anymore. As a follow on, we should introduce -current-package-key having the same role as -package-name, and deprecate the old flag. This commit is just renaming. The haddock submodule needed to be updated.

* Add LANGUAGE pragmas to compiler/ source filesHerbert Valerio Riedel2014-05-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases, the layout of the LANGUAGE/OPTIONS_GHC lines has been reorganized, while following the convention, to - place `{-# LANGUAGE #-}` pragmas at the top of the source file, before any `{-# OPTIONS_GHC #-}`-lines. - Moreover, if the list of language extensions fit into a single `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-line (shorter than 80 characters), keep it on one line. Otherwise split into `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-lines for each individual language extension. In both cases, try to keep the enumeration alphabetically ordered. (The latter layout is preferable as it's more diff-friendly) While at it, this also replaces obsolete `{-# OPTIONS ... #-}` pragma occurences by `{-# OPTIONS_GHC ... #-}` pragmas.
* Add SmallArray# and SmallMutableArray# typesJohan Tibell2014-03-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These array types are smaller than Array# and MutableArray# and are faster when the array size is small, as they don't have the overhead of a card table. Having no card table reduces the closure size with 2 words in the typical small array case and leads to less work when updating or GC:ing the array. Reduces both the runtime and memory allocation by 8.8% on my insert benchmark for the HashMap type in the unordered-containers package, which makes use of lots of small arrays. With tuned GC settings (i.e. `+RTS -A6M`) the runtime reduction is 15%. Fixes #8923.
* Represent offsets into heap objects with byte, not word, offsetsSimon Marlow2014-03-111-0/+1
| | | | | I'd like to be able to pack together non-pointer fields that are less than a word in size, and this is a necessary prerequisite.

* Cleanup StgCmm passJan Stolarek2013-08-201-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cleanup includes: * removing dead code. This includes forkStatics function, which was in fact one big noop, and global bindings in CgInfoDownwards, * converting functions that used FCode monad only to access DynFlags into functions that take DynFlags as a parameter and don't work in a monad, * addBindC function is now smarter. It extracts Id from CgIdInfo passed to it in the same way addBindsC does. Previously this was done at every call site, which was redundant.
* Trailing whitespaces, code formatting, detabifyJan Stolarek2013-08-201-1/+1
| | | | | A major cleanup of trailing whitespaces and tabs in codeGen/ directory. I also adjusted code formatting in some places.
* Fix the GHC package DLL-splittingIan Lynagh2013-05-141-1/+2
| | | | | | | There's now an internal -dll-split flag, which we use to tell GHC how the GHC package is split into 2 separate DLLs. This is used by Packages.isDllName to determine whether a call is within the same DLL, or whether it is a call to another DLL.
* extended ticky to also track "let"s that are not conventional closuresNicolas Frisby2013-05-021-8/+13
| | | | | | | This includes selector, ap, and constructor thunks. They are still guarded by the -ticky-dyn-thk flag. (This is 024df664b600a with a small bug fix.)

* Some alpha renamingIan Lynagh2012-10-161-2/+2
| | | | | Mostly d -> g (matching DynFlag -> GeneralFlag). Also renamed if* to when*, matching the Haskell if/when names
* Produce new-style Cmm from the Cmm parserSimon Marlow2012-10-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is done by a 'unarisation' pre-pass at the STG level which translates away all (live) binders binding something of unboxed tuple type.

* | Fix an SRT-related bugSimon Marlow2012-02-141-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | We were using the SRT information generated by the computeSRTs pass to decide whether to add a static link field to a constructor or not, and this broke when I disabled computeSRTs for the new code generator. So I've hacked it for now to only rely on the SRT information generated by CoreToStg.
* Overhaul of infrastructure for profiling, coverage (HPC) and breakpointsSimon Marlow2011-11-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | User visible changes ==================== Profilng -------- Flags renamed (the old ones are still accepted for now): OLD NEW --------- ------------ -auto-all -fprof-auto -auto -fprof-exported -caf-all -fprof-cafs New flags: -fprof-auto Annotates all bindings (not just top-level ones) with SCCs -fprof-top Annotates just top-level bindings with SCCs -fprof-exported Annotates just exported bindings with SCCs -fprof-no-count-entries Do not maintain entry counts when profiling (can make profiled code go faster; useful with heap profiling where entry counts are not used) Cost-centre stacks have a new semantics, which should in most cases result in more useful and intuitive profiles. If you find this not to be the case, please let me know. This is the area where I have been experimenting most, and the current solution is probably not the final version, however it does address all the outstanding bugs and seems to be better than GHC 7.2. Stack traces ------------ +RTS -xc now gives more information. If the exception originates from a CAF (as is common, because GHC tends to lift exceptions out to the top-level), then the RTS walks up the stack and reports the stack in the enclosing update frame(s). Result: +RTS -xc is much more useful now - but you still have to compile for profiling to get it. I've played around a little with adding 'head []' to GHC itself, and +RTS -xc does pinpoint the problem quite accurately. I plan to add more facilities for stack tracing (e.g. in GHCi) in the future. Coverage (HPC) -------------- * derived instances are now coloured yellow if they weren't used * likewise record field names * entry counts are more accurate (hpc --fun-entry-count) * tab width is now correct (markup was previously off in source with tabs) Internal changes ================ In Core, the Note constructor has been replaced by Tick (Tickish b) (Expr b) which is used to represent all the kinds of source annotation we support: profiling SCCs, HPC ticks, and GHCi breakpoints. Depending on the properties of the Tickish, different transformations apply to Tick. See CoreUtils.mkTick for details. Tickets ======= This commit closes the following tickets, test cases to follow: - Close #2552: not a bug, but the behaviour is now more intuitive (test is T2552) - Close #680 (test is T680) - Close #1531 (test is result001) - Close #949 (test is T949) - Close #2466: test case has bitrotted (doesn't compile against current version of vector-space package)

* Immediately tag initialization code to prevent untagged spills.Edward Z. Yang2011-03-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When allocating new objects on the heap, we previously returned a CmmExpr containing the heap pointer as well as the tag expression, which would be added to the code graph upon first usage. Unfortunately, this meant that untagged heap pointers living in registers might be spilled to the stack, where they interacted poorly with garbage collection (we saw this bug specifically with the compacting garbage collector.) This fix immediately tags the register containing the heap pointer, so that unless we have extremely unfriendly spill code, the new pointer will never be spilled to the stack untagged. An alternate solution might have been to modify allocDynClosure to tag the pointer upon the initial register allocation, but not all invocations of allocDynClosure tag the resulting pointer, and threading the consequent CgIdInfo for the cases that did would have been annoying.
* Merge in new code generator branch.Simon Marlow2011-01-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the new code generator to make use of the Hoopl package for dataflow analysis. Hoopl is a new boot package, and is maintained in a separate upstream git repository (as usual, GHC has its own lagging darcs mirror in http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/hoopl). During this merge I squashed recent history into one patch. I tried to rebase, but the history had some internal conflicts of its own which made rebase extremely confusing, so I gave up. The history I squashed was: - Update new codegen to work with latest Hoopl - Add some notes on new code gen to cmm-notes - Enable Hoopl lag package. - Add SPJ note to cmm-notes - Improve GC calls on new code generator. Work in this branch was done by: - Milan Straka <fox@ucw.cz> - John Dias <dias@cs.tufts.edu> - David Terei <davidterei@gmail.com> Edward Z. Yang <ezyang@mit.edu> merged in further changes from GHC HEAD and fixed a few bugs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The type of the CmmLabel ctor is now CmmLabel :: PackageId -> FastString -> CmmLabelInfo -> CLabel - When you construct a CmmLabel you have to explicitly say what package it is in. Many of these will just use rtsPackageId, but I've left it this way to remind people not to pretend labels are in the RTS package when they're not. - When parsing a Cmm file, labels that are not defined in the current file are assumed to be in the RTS package. Labels imported like import label are assumed to be in a generic "foreign" package, which is different from the current one. Labels imported like import "package-name" label are marked as coming from the named package. This last one is needed for the integer-gmp library as we want to refer to labels that are not in the same compilation unit, but are in the same non-rts package. This should help remove the nasty #ifdef __PIC__ stuff from integer-gmp/cbits/gmp-wrappers.cmm

The tricky stuff is all about the closure environment: it must be passed in R1, but in non-closures, there is no such argument, so we can't treat all arguments the same way: the closure environment is special. Maybe the right step forward would be to define a different calling convention for closure arguments. o Let-no-escapes need to be emitted out-of-line -- otherwise, we drop code. o Respect RTS requirement of word alignment for pointers My stack allocation can pack sub-word values into a single word on the stack, but it wasn't requiring word-alignment for pointers. It does now, by word-aligning both pointer registers and call areas. o CmmLint was over-aggresively ruling out non-word-aligned memory references, which may be kosher now that we can spill small values into a single word. o Wrong label order on a conditional branch when compiling switches. o void args weren't dropped in many cases. To help prevent this kind of mistake, I defined a NonVoid wrapper, which I'm applying only to Id's for now, although there are probably other good candidates. o A little code refactoring: separate modules for procpoint analysis splitting, stack layout, and building infotables. o Stack limit check: insert along with the heap limit check, using a symbolic constant (a special CmmLit), then replace it when the stack layout is known. o Removed last node: MidAddToContext o Adding block id as a literal: means that the lowering of the calling conventions no longer has to produce labels early, which was inhibiting common-block elimination. Will also make it easier for the non-procpoint-splitting path. o Info tables: don't try to describe the update frame! o Over aggressive use of NonVoid!!!! Don't drop the non-void args before setting the type of the closure!!! o Sanity checking: Added a pass to stub dead dead slots on the stack (only ~10 lines with the dataflow framework) o More sanity checking: Check that incoming pointer arguments are non-stubbed. Note: these checks are still subject to dead-code removal, but they should still be quite helpful. o Better sanity checking: why stop at function arguments? Instead, in mkAssign, check that _any_ assignment to a pointer type is non-null -- the sooner the crash, the easier it is to debug. Still need to add the debugging flag to turn these checks on explicitly. o Fixed yet another calling convention bug. This time, the calls to the GC were wrong. I've added a new convention for GC calls and invoked it where appropriate. We should really straighten out the calling convention stuff: some of the code (and documentation) is spread across the compiler, and there's some magical use of the node register that should really be handled (not avoided) by calling conventions. o Switch bug: the arms in mkCmmLitSwitch weren't returning to a single join point. o Environment shadowing problem in Stg->Cmm: When a closure f is bound at the top-level, we should not bind f to the node register on entry to the closure. Why? Because if the body of f contains a let-bound closure g that refers to f, we want to make sure that it refers to the static closure for f. Normally, this would all be fine, because when we compile a closure, we rebind free variables in the environment. But f doesn't look like a free variable because it's a static value. So, the binding for f remains in the environment when we compile g, inconveniently referring to the wrong thing. Now, I bind the variable in the local environment only if the closure is not bound at the top level. It's still okay to make assumptions about the node holding the closure environment; we just won't find the binding in the environment, so code that names the closure will now directly get the label of the static closure, not the node register holding a pointer to the static closure. o Don't generate bogus Cmm code containing SRTs during the STG -> Cmm pass! The tables made reference to some labels that don't exist when we compute and generate the tables in the back end. o Safe foreign calls need some special treatment (at least until we have the integrated codegen). In particular: o they need info tables o they are not procpoints -- the successor had better be in the same procedure o we cannot (yet) implement the calling conventions early, which means we have to carry the calling-conv info all the way to the end o We weren't following the old convention when registering a module. Now, we use update frames to push any new modules that have to be registered and enter the youngest one on the stack. We also use the update frame machinery to specify that the return should pop the return address off the stack. o At each safe foreign call, an infotable must be at the bottom of the stack, and the TSO->sp must point to it. o More problems with void args in a direct call to a function: We were checking the args (minus voids) to check whether the call was saturated, which caused problems when the function really wasn't saturated because it took an extra void argument. o Forgot to distinguish integer != from floating != during Stg->Cmm o Updating slotEnv and areaMap to include safe foreign calls The dataflow analyses that produce the slotEnv and areaMap give results for each basic block, but we also need the results for a safe foreign call, which is a middle node. After running the dataflow analysis, we have another pass that updates the results to includ any safe foreign calls. o Added a static flag for the debugging technique that inserts instructions to stub dead slots on the stack and crashes when a stubbed value is loaded into a pointer-typed LocalReg. o C back end expects to see return continuations before their call sites. Sorted the flowgraphs appropriately after splitting. o PrimOp calling conventions are special -- unlimited registers, no stack Yet another calling convention... o More void value problems: if the RHS of a case arm is a void-typed variable, don't try to return it. o When calling some primOp, they may allocate memory; if so, we need to do a heap check when we return from the call.
* Merging in the new codegen branchdias@eecs.harvard.edu2008-08-141-0/+216
This merge does not turn on the new codegen (which only compiles a select few programs at this point), but it does introduce some changes to the old code generator. The high bits: 1. The Rep Swamp patch is finally here. The highlight is that the representation of types at the machine level has changed. Consequently, this patch contains updates across several back ends. 2. The new Stg -> Cmm path is here, although it appears to have a fair number of bugs lurking. 3. Many improvements along the CmmCPSZ path, including: o stack layout o some code for infotables, half of which is right and half wrong o proc-point splitting
