`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]. Here is the performance on Ruby 3.2: ``` $ time RUBY_MAX_CPU=12 ./miniruby -v ../test.rb 8 8 ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision |
