* Move `/includes` to `/rts/include`, sort per package betterJohn Ericson2021-08-093-294/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to make the packages in this repo "reinstallable", we need to associate source code with a specific packages. Having a top level `/includes` dir that mixes concerns (which packages' includes?) gets in the way of this. To start, I have moved everything to `rts/`, which is mostly correct. There are a few things however that really don't belong in the rts (like the generated constants haskell type, `CodeGen.Platform.h`). Those needed to be manually adjusted. Things of note: - No symlinking for sake of windows, so we hard-link at configure time. - `CodeGen.Platform.h` no longer as `.hs` extension (in addition to being moved to `compiler/`) so as not to confuse anyone, since it is next to Haskell files. - Blanket `-Iincludes` is gone in both build systems, include paths now more strictly respect per-package dependencies. - `deriveConstants` has been taught to not require a `--target-os` flag when generating the platform-agnostic Haskell type. Make takes advantage of this, but Hadrian has yet to.
* Profiling: Allow heap profiling to be controlled dynamically.Matthew Pickering2021-03-031-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | This patch exposes three new functions in `GHC.Profiling` which allow heap profiling to be enabled and disabled dynamically. 1. startHeapProfTimer - Starts heap profiling with the given RTS options 2. stopHeapProfTimer - Stops heap profiling 3. requestHeapCensus - Perform a heap census on the next context switch, regardless of whether the timer is enabled or not.

* Maintain cost-centre stacks in the interpreterSimon Marlow2015-12-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Breakpoints become SCCs, so we have detailed call-stack info for interpreted code. Currently this only works when GHC is compiled with -prof, but D1562 (Remote GHCi) removes this constraint so that in the future call stacks will be available without building your own GHCi. How can you get a stack trace? * programmatically: GHC.Stack.currentCallStack * I've added an experimental :where command that shows the stack when stopped at a breakpoint * `error` attaches a call stack automatically, although since calls to `error` are often lifted out to the top level, this is less useful than it might be (ImplicitParams still works though). * Later we might attach call stacks to all exceptions Other related changes in this diff: * I reduced the number of places that get ticks attached for breakpoints. In particular there was a breakpoint around the whole declaration, which was often redundant because it bound no variables. This reduces clutter in the stack traces and speeds up compilation. * I tidied up some RealSrcSpan stuff in InteractiveUI, and made a few other small cleanups Test Plan: validate Reviewers: ezyang, bgamari, austin, hvr Subscribers: thomie Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1595 GHC Trac Issues: #11047
* Make GHCi & TH work when the compiler is built with -profSimon Marlow2015-11-071-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: Amazingly, there were zero changes to the byte code generator and very few changes to the interpreter - mainly because we've used good abstractions that hide the differences between profiling and non-profiling. So that bit was pleasantly straightforward, but there were a pile of other wibbles to get the whole test suite through. Note that a compiler built with -prof is now like one built with -dynamic, in that to use TH you have to build the code the same way. For dynamic, we automatically enable -dynamic-too when TH is required, but we don't have anything equivalent for profiling, so you have to explicitly use -prof when building code that uses TH with a profiled compiler. For this reason Cabal won't work with TH. We don't expect to ship a profiled compiler, so I think that's OK.

* More changes aimed at improving call stacks.Simon Marlow2011-12-021-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Attach a SrcSpan to every CostCentre. This had the side effect that CostCentres that used to be merged because they had the same name are now considered distinct; so I had to add a Unique to CostCentre to give them distinct object-code symbols. - New flag: -fprof-auto-calls. This flag adds an automatic SCC to every call site (application, to be precise). This is typically more useful for call stacks than annotating whole functions. Various tidy-ups at the same time: removed unused NoCostCentre constructor, and refactored a bit in Coverage.lhs. The call stack we get from traceStack now looks like this: Stack trace: Main.CAF (<entire-module>) Main.main.xs (callstack002.hs:18:12-24) Main.map (callstack002.hs:13:12-16) Main.map.go (callstack002.hs:15:21-34) Main.map.go (callstack002.hs:15:21-23) Main.f (callstack002.hs:10:7-43)
* Make profiling work with multiple capabilities (+RTS -N)Simon Marlow2011-11-291-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This means that both time and heap profiling work for parallel programs. Main internal changes: - CCCS is no longer a global variable; it is now another pseudo-register in the StgRegTable struct. Thus every Capability has its own CCCS. - There is a new built-in CCS called "IDLE", which records ticks for Capabilities in the idle state. If you profile a single-threaded program with +RTS -N2, you'll see about 50% of time in "IDLE". - There is appropriate locking in rts/Profiling.c to protect the shared cost-centre-stack data structures. This patch does enough to get it working, I have cut one big corner: the cost-centre-stack data structure is still shared amongst all Capabilities, which means that multiple Capabilities will race when updating the "allocations" and "entries" fields of a CCS. Not only does this give unpredictable results, but it runs very slowly due to cache line bouncing. It is strongly recommended that you use -fno-prof-count-entries to disable the "entries" count when profiling parallel programs. (I shall add a note to this effect to the docs).
* Overhaul of infrastructure for profiling, coverage (HPC) and breakpointsSimon Marlow2011-11-021-94/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Implement stack chunks and separate TSO/STACK objectsSimon Marlow2010-12-151-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes two changes to the way stacks are managed: 1. The stack is now stored in a separate object from the TSO. This means that it is easier to replace the stack object for a thread when the stack overflows or underflows; we don't have to leave behind the old TSO as an indirection any more. Consequently, we can remove ThreadRelocated and deRefTSO(), which were a pain. This is obviously the right thing, but the last time I tried to do it it made performance worse. This time I seem to have cracked it. 2. Stacks are now represented as a chain of chunks, rather than a single monolithic object. The big advantage here is that individual chunks are marked clean or dirty according to whether they contain pointers to the young generation, and the GC can avoid traversing clean stack chunks during a young-generation collection. This means that programs with deep stacks will see a big saving in GC overhead when using the default GC settings. A secondary advantage is that there is much less copying involved as the stack grows. Programs that quickly grow a deep stack will see big improvements. In some ways the implementation is simpler, as nothing special needs to be done to reclaim stack as the stack shrinks (the GC just recovers the dead stack chunks). On the other hand, we have to manage stack underflow between chunks, so there's a new stack frame (UNDERFLOW_FRAME), and we now have separate TSO and STACK objects. The total amount of code is probably about the same as before. There are new RTS flags: -ki<size> Sets the initial thread stack size (default 1k) Egs: -ki4k -ki2m -kc<size> Sets the stack chunk size (default 32k) -kb<size> Sets the stack chunk buffer size (default 1k) -ki was previously called just -k, and the old name is still accepted for backwards compatibility. These new options are documented.

* RTS tidyup sweep, first phaseSimon Marlow2009-08-022-0/+284
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.
