`native_tls_get()`' should not check results

2022-05-24T01:06:51+00:00

caller should check the result of `native_tls_get()`.

introduce struct `rb_native_thread`

2022-04-22T18:08:27+00:00

`rb_thread_t` contained `native_thread_data_t` to represent
thread implementation dependent data. This patch separates
them and rename it `rb_native_thread` and point it from
`rb_thraed_t`.

Now, 1 Ruby thread (`rb_thread_t`) has 1 native thread (`rb_native_thread`).

rename thread internal naming

2022-04-21T22:54:09+00:00

Now GVL is not process *Global* so this patch try to use
another words.

* `rb_global_vm_lock_t` -> `struct rb_thread_sched`
  * `gvl->owner` -> `sched->running`
  * `gvl->waitq` -> `sched->readyq`
* `rb_gvl_init` -> `rb_thread_sched_init`
* `gvl_destroy` -> `rb_thread_sched_destroy`
* `gvl_acquire` -> `thread_sched_to_running` # waiting -> ready -> running
* `gvl_release` -> `thread_sched_to_waiting` # running -> waiting
* `gvl_yield`   -> `thread_sched_yield`
* `GVL_UNLOCK_BEGIN` -> `THREAD_BLOCKING_BEGIN`
* `GVL_UNLOCK_END` -> `THREAD_BLOCKING_END`

* removed
  * `rb_ractor_gvl`
  * `rb_vm_gvl_destroy` (not used)

There are GVL functions such as `rb_thread_call_without_gvl()` yet
but I don't have good name to replace them. Maybe GVL stands for
"Greate Valuable Lock" or something like that.

Get rid of duplicate typedef

fix public interface

2020-11-17T18:52:41+00:00

To make some kind of Ractor related extensions, some functions
should be exposed.

* include/ruby/thread_native.h
  * rb_native_mutex_*
  * rb_native_cond_*
* include/ruby/ractor.h
  * RB_OBJ_SHAREABLE_P(obj)
  * rb_ractor_shareable_p(obj)
  * rb_ractor_std*()
  * rb_cRactor

and rm ractor_pub.h
and rename srcdir/ractor.h to srcdir/ractor_core.h
    (to avoid conflict with include/ruby/ractor.h)

introduce USE_VM_CLOCK for windows.

2020-11-11T06:49:02+00:00

The timer function used on windows system set timer interrupt
flag of current main ractor's executing ec and thread can detect
the end of time slice. However, to set all ec->interrupt_flag for
all running ractors, it is requires to synchronize with other ractors.
However, timer thread can not acquire the ractor-wide lock because
of some limitation.

To solve this issue, this patch introduces USE_VM_CLOCK compile option
to introduce rb_vm_t::clock. This clock will be incremented by the
timer thread and each thread can check the incrementing by comparison
with previous checked clock. At last, on windows platform this patch
introduces some overhead, but I think there is no critical performance
issue because of this modification.

Use language TLS specifier if it is possible.

2020-10-19T16:05:06+00:00

To access TLS, it is faster to use language TLS specifier instead
of using pthread_get/setspecific functions.

Original proposal is: Use native thread locals. #3665

Introduce Ractor mechanism for parallel execution

2020-09-03T12:11:06+00:00

This commit introduces Ractor mechanism to run Ruby program in
parallel. See doc/ractor.md for more details about Ractor.
See ticket [Feature #17100] to see the implementation details
and discussions.

[Feature #17100]

This commit does not complete the implementation. You can find
many bugs on using Ractor. Also the specification will be changed
so that this feature is experimental. You will see a warning when
you make the first Ractor with `Ractor.new`.

I hope this feature can help programmers from thread-safety issues.

add #include guard hack

2020-04-13T07:06:00+00:00

According to MSVC manual (*1), cl.exe can skip including a header file
when that:

- contains #pragma once, or
- starts with #ifndef, or
- starts with #if ! defined.

GCC has a similar trick (*2), but it acts more stricter (e. g. there
must be _no tokens_ outside of #ifndef...#endif).

Sun C lacked #pragma once for a looong time.  Oracle Developer Studio
12.5 finally implemented it, but we cannot assume such recent version.

This changeset modifies header files so that each of them include
strictly one #ifndef...#endif.  I believe this is the most portable way
to trigger compiler optimizations. [Bug #16770]

* ext/openssl/depend: remove dependency from internal headers.

2014-05-14T10:55:38+00:00

  [Feature #9612]
* ext/openssl/ossl.c (ossl_fips_mode_set): ditto.
* ext/coverage/depend: ditto.
* include/ruby/thread_native.h: added.
  This header file only provides wrapper functions to control
  native threads. These wrapper functions are used by MRI
  implementation.
* vm_core.h: use include/ruby/thread_native.h.
* thread.c: ditto.
* thread_pthread.h: ditto.
* thread_win32.h: ditto.
* thread_native.h: removed.
