* rts: Always truncate output filesBen Gamari2019-08-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Previously there were numerous places in the RTS where we would fopen with the "w" flag string. This is wrong as it will not truncate the file. Consequently if we write less data than the previous length of the file we will leave garbage at its end. Fixes #16993.

* rts: Divorce init of Heap profiler from CCS profilerDaniel Gröber2019-07-161-23/+0
| | | | | | | | | Currently initProfiling gets defined by Profiling.c only if PROFILING is defined. Otherwise the ProfHeap.c defines it. This is just needlessly complicated so in this commit I make Profiling and ProfHeap into properly seperate modules and call their respective init functions from RtsStartup.c.

* Remove MAX_PATH restrictions from RTS, I/O manager and various utilitiesTamar Christina2018-03-311-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary: This shims out fopen and sopen so that they use modern APIs under the hood along with namespaced paths. This lifts the MAX_PATH restrictions from Haskell programs and makes the new limit ~32k. There are only some slight caveats that have been documented. Some utilities have not been upgraded such as lndir, since all these things are different cabal packages I have been forced to copy the source in different places which is less than ideal. But it's the only way to keep sdist working.

* rts: Allow profile output path to be specified on RTS command lineBen Gamari2017-02-281-16/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a RTS option, -po, which allows the user to override the stem used to form the output file names of the heap profile and cost center summary. It's a bit unclear to me whether this is really the interface we want. Alternatively we could just allow the user to specify the `.hp` and `.prof` file names separately. This would arguably be a bit more straightforward and would allow the user to name JSON output with an appropriate `.json` suffix if they so desired. However, this would come at the cost of taking more of the option space, which is a somewhat precious commodity.

* Fix segmentation fault when .prof file not writeableThomas Miedema2016-01-261-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two ways to do retainer profiling. Quoting from the user's guide: 1. `+RTS -hr` "Breaks down the graph by retainer set" 2. `+RTS -hr<cc> -h<x>`, where `-h<x>` is one of normal heap profiling break-down options (e.g. `-hc`), and `-hr<cc> means "Restrict the profile to closures with retainer sets containing cost-centre stacks with one of the specified cost centres at the top." Retainer profiling writes to a .hp file, like the other heap profiling options, but also to a .prof file. Therefore, when the .prof file is not writeable for whatever reason, retainer profiling should be turned off completely. This worked ok when running the program with `+RTS -hr` (option 1), but a segfault would occur when using `+RTS -hr<cc> -h<x>`, with `x!=r` (option 2). This commit fixes that.

* Make GHCi & TH work when the compiler is built with -profSimon Marlow2015-11-071-22/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 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 Marlow2011-11-291-45/+91
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).
* Time handling overhaulSimon Marlow2011-11-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Terminology cleanup: the type "Ticks" has been renamed "Time", which is an StgWord64 in units of TIME_RESOLUTION (currently nanoseconds). The terminology "tick" is now used consistently to mean the interval between timer signals. The ticker now always ticks in realtime (actually CLOCK_MONOTONIC if we have it). Before it used CPU time in the non-threaded RTS and realtime in the threaded RTS, but I've discovered that the CPU timer has terrible resolution (at least on Linux) and isn't much use for profiling. So now we always use realtime. This should also fix The default tick interval is now 10ms, except when profiling where we drop it to 1ms. This gives more accurate profiles without affecting runtime too much (<1%). Lots of cleanups - the resolution of Time is now in one place only (Rts.h) rather than having calculations that depend on the resolution scattered all over the RTS. I hope I found them all.

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.

This appraoch had drawbacks: - FFI users had to call hs_add_root() to ensure the correct initialisation routines were called. This is a non-standard, and ugly, API. - unless we were using -split-objs, the __stginit dependencies would entail linking the whole transitive closure of modules imported, whether they were actually used or not. In an extreme case (#4387, #4417), a module from GHC might be imported for use in Template Haskell or an annotation, and that would force the whole of GHC to be needlessly linked into the final executable. So now instead we do our initialisation with C functions marked with __attribute__((constructor)), which are automatically invoked at program startup time (or DSO load-time). The C initialisers are emitted into the stub.c file. This means that every time we compile with -prof or -hpc, we now get a stub file, but thanks to #3687 that is now invisible to the user. There are some refactorings in the RTS (particularly for HPC) to handle the fact that initialisers now get run earlier than they did before. The __stginit symbols are still generated, and the hs_add_root() function still exists (but does nothing), for backwards compatibility.

* Use StgWord64 instead of ullongIan Lynagh2010-04-211-2/+2
| | | | | | This patch also fixes ullong_format_string (renamed to showStgWord64) so that it works with values outside the 32bit range (trac #3979), and simplifies the without-commas case.
* RTS tidyup sweep, first phaseSimon Marlow2009-08-021-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
