This will hopefully help ensure some basic consistency in the forward by
overriding buffer variables. In particular, it sets the wrap length, the
offset to 4, and turns off tabs.

This means that when the process is shutting down, if we have calls to
foreign exports in progress, they get forcibly terminated as before,
but now they only shut down the calling thread rather than the whole
process (with -threaded).
This came up in a discussion started by Akio Takano on ghc-users.

Based on initial patches by Mikolaj Konarski <mikolaj@well-typed.com>
Use the new task tracing functions traceTaskCreate/Migrate/Delete.
There are two key places. One is for worker tasks which have a
relatively simple life cycle. Worker tasks are created and deleted by
the RTS. The other case is bound tasks which are either created by the
RTS, or appear as foreign C threads making calls into the RTS. For bound
threads we do the tracing in rts_lock/unlock, which actually covers both
threads coming in from outside, and also bound threads made by the RTS.

Consider this experimental for the time being. There are a lot of
things that could go wrong, but I've verified that at least it works
on the test cases we have.
I also did some API cleanups while I was here. Previously we had:
Capability * rts_eval (Capability *cap, HaskellObj p, /*out*/HaskellObj *ret);
but this API is particularly error-prone: if you forget to discard the
Capability * you passed in and use the return value instead, then
you're in for subtle bugs with +RTS -N later on. So I changed all
these functions to this form:
void rts_eval (/* inout */ Capability **cap,
/* in */ HaskellObj p,
/* out */ HaskellObj *ret)
It's much harder to use this version incorrectly, because you have to
pass the Capability in by reference.

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.

Fixes a bug reported by Lennart Augustsson, whereby we could get an
incorrect error from the RTS about re-entry from a finalizer,

This is a batch of refactoring to remove some of the GC's global
state, as we move towards CPU-local GC.
- allocateLocal() now allocates large objects into the local
nursery, rather than taking a global lock and allocating
then in gen 0 step 0.
- allocatePinned() was still allocating from global storage and
taking a lock each time, now it uses local storage.
(mallocForeignPtrBytes should be faster with -threaded).
- We had a gen 0 step 0, distinct from the nurseries, which are
stored in a separate nurseries[] array. This is slightly strange.
I removed the g0s0 global that pointed to gen 0 step 0, and
removed all uses of it. I think now we don't use gen 0 step 0 at
all, except possibly when there is only one generation. Possibly
more tidying up is needed here.
- I removed the global allocate() function, and renamed
allocateLocal() to allocate().
- the alloc_blocks global is gone. MAYBE_GC() and
doYouWantToGC() now check the local nursery only.

Otherwise, finalizer callbacks cause a deadlock in the threaded RTS
(including GHCi)

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.

There were races between workerTaskStop() and freeTaskManager(): we
need to be sure that all Tasks have exited properly before we start
tearing things down. This isn't completely straighforward, see
comments for details.

My guess is that this is left over from when we represented Int8 and
friends as zero-extended rather than sign-extended. It's amazing it hasn't
been noticed earlier.

This patch implements pointer tagging as per our ICFP'07 paper "Faster
laziness using dynamic pointer tagging". It improves performance by
10-15% for most workloads, including GHC itself.
The original patches were by Alexey Rodriguez Yakushev
<mrchebas@gmail.com>, with additions and improvements by me. I've
re-recorded the development as a single patch.
The basic idea is this: we use the low 2 bits of a pointer to a heap
object (3 bits on a 64-bit architecture) to encode some information
about the object pointed to. For a constructor, we encode the "tag"
of the constructor (e.g. True vs. False), for a function closure its
arity. This enables some decisions to be made without dereferencing
the pointer, which speeds up some common operations. In particular it
enables us to avoid costly indirect jumps in many cases.

In preparation for parallel GC, split up the monolithic GC.c file into
smaller parts. Also in this patch (and difficult to separate,
unfortunatley):
- Don't include Stable.h in Rts.h, instead just include it where
necessary.
- consistently use STATIC_INLINE in source files, and INLINE_HEADER
in header files. STATIC_INLINE is now turned off when DEBUG is on,
to make debugging easier.
- The GC no longer takes the get_roots function as an argument.
We weren't making use of this generalisation.

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.
