* RTS tidyup sweep, first phaseSimon Marlow2009-08-021-768/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first phase of this tidyup is focussed on the header files, and in particular making sure we are exposinng publicly exactly what we need to, and no more. - Rts.h now includes everything that the RTS exposes publicly, rather than a random subset of it. - Most of the public header files have moved into subdirectories, and many of them have been renamed. But clients should not need to include any of the other headers directly, just #include the main public headers: Rts.h, HsFFI.h, RtsAPI.h. - All the headers needed for via-C compilation have moved into the stg subdirectory, which is self-contained. Most of the headers for the rest of the RTS APIs have moved into the rts subdirectory. - I left MachDeps.h where it is, because it is so widely used in Haskell code. - I left a deprecated stub for RtsFlags.h in place. The flag structures are now exposed by Rts.h. - Various internal APIs are no longer exposed by public header files. - Various bits of dead code and declarations have been removed - More gcc warnings are turned on, and the RTS code is more warning-clean. - More source files #include "PosixSource.h", and hence only use standard POSIX (1003.1c-1995) interfaces. There is a lot more tidying up still to do, this is just the first pass. I also intend to standardise the names for external RTS APIs (e.g use the rts_ prefix consistently), and declare the internal APIs as hidden for shared libraries.
* Split Reg into vreg/hreg and add register pairsBen.Lippmeier@anu.edu.au2009-05-181-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | * The old Reg type is now split into VirtualReg and RealReg. * For the graph coloring allocator, the type of the register graph is now (Graph VirtualReg RegClass RealReg), which shows that it colors in nodes representing virtual regs with colors representing real regs. (as was intended) * RealReg contains two contructors, RealRegSingle and RealRegPair, where RealRegPair is used to represent a SPARC double reg constructed from two single precision FP regs. * On SPARC we can now allocate double regs into an arbitrary register pair, instead of reserving some reg ranges to only hold float/double values.
* SPARC NCG: HpLim is now always stored on the stack, not in a registerBen.Lippmeier@anu.edu.au2009-03-311-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the out of memory errors we were getting on sparc after the following patch: Fri Mar 13 03:45:16 PDT 2009 Simon Marlow <marlowsd@gmail.com> * Instead of a separate context-switch flag, set HpLim to zero Ignore-this: 6c5bbe1ce2c5ef551efe98f288483b0 This reduces the latency between a context-switch being triggered and the thread returning to the scheduler, which in turn should reduce the cost of the GC barrier when there are many cores.
* Instead of a separate context-switch flag, set HpLim to zeroSimon Marlow2009-03-131-18/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces the latency between a context-switch being triggered and the thread returning to the scheduler, which in turn should reduce the cost of the GC barrier when there are many cores. We still retain the old context_switch flag which is checked at the end of each block of allocation. The idea is that setting HpLim may fail if the the target thread is modifying HpLim at the same time; the context_switch flag is a fallback. It also allows us to "context switch soon" without forcing an immediate switch, which can be costly.

* Reorganisation of the source treeSimon Marlow2006-04-071-0/+732
Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree without losing history, so here goes. The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system. No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions. Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
