Previously, generic ivars worked differently than the other global tables
during compaction. The other global tables had their references updated
through iteration during rb_gc_update_vm_references. Generic ivars updated
the keys when the object moved and updated the values while reference
updating the object. This is inefficient as this required one lookup for
every moved object and one lookup for every object with generic ivars.
Instead, this commit changes it to iterate over the generic ivar table to
update both the keys and values.
`rb_vm_insns_count` is a global variable used for reporting YJIT
statistics. It is a counter that tallies the number of interpreter
instructions that have been executed, this way we can approximate how
much time we're spending in YJIT compared to the interpreter.
Unfortunately keeping this statistic means that every instruction
executed in the interpreter loop must increment the counter. Normally
this isn't a problem, but in multi-threaded situations (when Ractors are
used), incrementing this counter can become quite costly due to page
caching issues.
Additionally, since there is no locking when incrementing this global,
the count can't really make sense in a multi-threaded environment.
This commit changes `rb_vm_insns_count` to a thread local. That way each
Ractor has it's own copy of the counter and incrementing the counter
becomes quite cheap. Of course this means that in multi-threaded
situations, the value doesn't really make sense (but it didn't make
sense before because of the lack of locking).
The counter is used for YJIT statistics, and since YJIT is basically
disabled when Ractors are in use, I don't think we care about
inaccuracies (for the time being). We can revisit this counter when we
give YJIT multi-threading support, but for the time being this commit
restores multi-threaded performance.
To test this, I used the benchmark in [Bug #20489].

[Bug #20489]
For the universal parser, `rb_parser_reg_fragment_check` function is
shared between the parser and ripper. However `parser_params` struct
is partially different, and `compile_error` function depends on that
part indirectly.
For the universal parser, `rb_reg_named_capture_assign_iter_impl`
function is shared between the parser and ripper. However
`parser_params` struct is partially different, and `assignable`
function depends on that part indirectly.
This change poisons the whole slot of the object rather than just the flags.
This allows ASAN to find any reads/writes into the slot after it has been
freed.
When reference updating ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations, we need to
check whether the object is valid or not because it does not mark the
object so the object may be dead. This can cause a segmentation fault
if the object is on a free heap page.
For example, the following script crashes:
require "objspace"
objs = []
ObjectSpace.trace_object_allocations do
1_000_000.times do
objs << Object.new
end
end
objs = nil
# Free pages that the objs were on
GC.start
# Run compaction and check that it doesn't crash
GC.compact
[Bug #20950]
ifunc proc has the ep allocated in the cfunc_proc_t which is the data of
the TypedData object. If an ifunc proc is duplicated, the ep points to
the ep of the source object. If the source object is freed, then the ep
of the duplicated object now points to a freed memory region. If we try
to use the ep we could crash.
For example, the following script crashes:
p = { a: 1 }.to_proc
100.times do
p = p.dup
GC.start
p.call
rescue ArgumentError
end
This commit changes ifunc proc to also duplicate the ep when it is duplicated.
We have name fragmentation for this feature, including "shared GC",
"modular GC", and "external GC". This commit standardizes the feature
name to "modular GC" and the implementation to "GC library".
* Add opt_duparray_send insn to skip the allocation on `#include?`
If the method isn't going to modify the array we don't need to copy it.
This avoids the allocation / array copy for things like `[:a, :b].include?(x)`.
This adds a BOP for include? and tracks redefinition for it on Array.

So that it doesn't get included in the generated binaries for builds
that don't support loading shared GC modules
Co-Authored-By: Peter Zhu <peter@peterzhu.ca>
Use PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME to set human-readable names for anonymous
virtual memory areas mapped by `mmap()` when compiled and run on Linux
5.17 or higher. This makes it convenient for developers to debug mmap.
This will add +MOD_GC to the version string and Ruby description when
Ruby is compiled with shared gc support.
When shared GC support is compiled in and a GC module has been loaded
using RUBY_GC_LIBRARY, the version string will include the name of
the currently active GC as reported by the rb_gc_active_gc_name function
in the form
+MOD_GC[gc_name]
[Feature #20794]
* YJIT: Specialize `String#[]` (`String#slice`) with fixnum arguments
String#[] is in the top few C calls of several YJIT benchmarks:
liquid-compile rubocop mail sudoku
This speeds up these benchmarks by 1-2%.
* YJIT: Try harder to get type info for `String#[]`
In the large generated code of the mail gem the context doesn't have
the type info. In that case if we peek at the stack and add a guard
we can still apply the specialization
and it speeds up the mail benchmark by 5%.

* Use FL_USER0 for ELTS_SHARED
This makes space in RString for two bits for chilled strings.
* Mark strings returned by `Symbol#to_s` as chilled
[Feature #20350]
`STR_CHILLED` now spans on two user flags. If one bit is set it
marks a chilled string literal, if it's the other it marks a
`Symbol#to_s` chilled string.
Since it's not possible, and doesn't make much sense to include
debug info when `--debug-frozen-string-literal` is set, we can't
include allocation source, but we can safely include the symbol
name in the warning message, making it much easier to find the source
of the issue.

While profiling msgpack-ruby I noticed a very substantial amout of time
spent in `rb_enc_associate_index`, called by `rb_utf8_str_new`.
On that benchmark, `rb_utf8_str_new` is 33% of the total runtime,
in big part because it cause GC to trigger often, but even then
`5.3%` of the total runtime is spent in `rb_enc_associate_index`
called by `rb_utf8_str_new`.
After closer inspection, it appears that it's performing a lot of
safety check we can assert we don't need, and other extra useless
operations, because strings are first created and filled as ASCII-8BIT
and then later reassociated to the desired encoding.
By directly allocating the string with the right encoding, it allow
to skip a lot of duplicated and useless operations.
After this change, the time spent in `rb_utf8_str_new` is down
to `28.4%` of total runtime, and most of that is GC.
RUBY_DEBUG enables ractor assertions, which sets up some space at the
end of each RVALUE to store the associated ractor ID. We need to make
sure the function that does this is visible to shared GC libraries.
[Feature #20205]
The warning now suggests running with --debug-frozen-string-literal:
```
test.rb:3: warning: literal string will be frozen in the future (run with --debug-frozen-string-literal for more information)
```
When using --debug-frozen-string-literal, the location where the string
was created is shown:
```
test.rb:3: warning: literal string will be frozen in the future
test.rb:1: info: the string was created here
```
When resurrecting strings and debug mode is not enabled, the overhead is a simple FL_TEST_RAW.
When mutating chilled strings and deprecation warnings are not enabled,
the overhead is a simple warning category enabled check.

* Remove 1 allocation in Enumerable#each_with_index
Previously, each call to Enumerable#each_with_index allocates 2
objects, one for the counting index, the other an imemo_ifunc passed
to `self.each` as a block.
Use `struct vm_ifunc::data` to hold the counting index directly to
remove 1 allocation.

and so many.
Remove semicolons following pragma, and repeat the given declaration
at the end to consume a semicolon following the macro call. As many
`NO_SANITIZE` calls including bigdecimal that is a gem have a trailing
semicolon, it was not able to move the semicolon inside `NO_SANITIZE`.
This does not change any actual behaviour, but provides a choke point for blocking IO operations.

* Update `File` to use `rb_io_blocking_region`.
* Update `IO` to use `rb_io_blocking_region`.
Now that we've inlined the eden_heap into the size_pool, we should
rename the size_pool to heap. So that Ruby contains multiple heaps, with
different sized objects.
The term heap as a collection of memory pages is more in memory
management nomenclature, whereas size_pool was a name chosen out of
necessity during the development of the Variable Width Allocation
features of Ruby.
The concept of size pools was introduced in order to facilitate
different sized objects (other than the default 40 bytes). They wrapped
the eden heap and the tomb heap, and some related state, and provided a
reasonably simple way of duplicating all related concerns, to provide
multiple pools that all shared the same structure but held different
objects.
Since then various changes have happend in Ruby's memory layout:
* The concept of tomb heaps has been replaced by a global free pages list,
with each page having it's slot size reconfigured at the point when it
is resurrected
* the eden heap has been inlined into the size pool itself, so that now
the size pool directly controls the free_pages list, the sweeping
page, the compaction cursor and the other state that was previously
being managed by the eden heap.
Now that there is no need for a heap wrapper, we should refer to the
collection of pages containing Ruby objects as a heap again rather than
a size pool
The allocated parser string is never freed, which causes a memory leak.
The following code leaks memory:
Ripper.sexp_raw(DATA.read)
__END__
<<~EOF
a
#{1}
a
EOF
This change is reduce Ruby C API dependency for Universal Parser.
Reuse dedent_string functions in rb_ruby_ripper_dedent_string functions and remove dependencies on rb_str_modify and rb_str_set_len from the parser.
If one thread is reading and another closes that socket, the close
blocks waiting for the read to abort cleanly. This ensures that Ruby is
totally done with the file descriptor _BEFORE_ we tell the OS to close
and potentially re-use it.
When the read is correctly terminated, the close should be unblocked.
That currently works if closing is happening on a thread, but if it's
happening on a fiber with a fiber scheduler, it does NOT work.
This patch ensures that if the close happened in a fiber scheduled
thread, that the scheduler is notified that the fiber is unblocked.
[Bug #20723]
This commit switches the default parser to Prism. There are a
couple of additional changes related to this that are a part of
this as well to make this happen.
* Switch the default parser in parse.h
* Remove the Prism-specific workflow and add a parse.y-specific
workflow to CI so that it continues to be tested
* Update a few test exclusions since Prism has the correct
behavior but parse.y doesn't per
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20504.
* Skips a couple of tests on RBS which are failing because they
are using RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.of.
