When a task fails, we will throw an exception, then catch it at the bottom of
the stack.
On Windows we don't do this yet because the exception doesn't propagate
correctly.
No cleanups yet.
Issue #236
The motivation here is that the bottom of each stack needs to contain a C++
try/catch block so that we can unwind. This is already the case for main, but
not spawned tasks.
Issue #236
This is the new way to refer to tasks in rust-land. Currently all they
do is serve as a key to look up the old rust_task structure. Ideally
they won't be ref counted, but baby steps.
getenv is not threadsafe and (maybe as a result) it's randomly crashing with
CFLAGS=-g and RUST_THREADS=32. Calls from rust code are still on their
own.
that absolutely will not succeed with a large default stack. This
should be removed once we have stack grown working.
Also updated word-count to succeed under the new test framework.
Tasks are spawned on a random thread. Currently they stay there, but
we should add task migration and load balancing in the future. This
should drammatically improve our task performance benchmarks.
We're trying to get closer to doing correct move semantics for channel
operations. This involves a lot of cleanup (such as removing the
unused sched parameter from rust_vec constructor) and making
circular_buffer kernel_owned.
Added tagging for memory allocations. This means we give a string tag
to everything we allocate. If we leak something and TRACK_ALLOCATIONS
is enabled, then it's much easier now to tell exactly what is leaking.
When the root task fails the process fails. Failures on other tasks propagate
up the task tree. Failures on non-root tasks without parents just
(theoretically) unwind and disappear.
The first is that the memory_region destructor would complain there is
still an outstanding allocation. This is because circular_buffer from
rust_chan wasn't refing its task, so the task was being destructed too
soon.
The second was where the program could deadlock while joining a
task. The target task would die in the time between checking whether
the task should block and then actually blocking. The fix is to use
the target task's lock.
Ports and channels have been moved to the kernel pool, since they've
been known to outlive their associated task. This probably isn't the
right thing to do, the life cycle needs fixed instead.
Some refactorying in memory_region.cpp. Added a helper function to
increment and decrement the allocation counter. This makes it easier
to switch between atomic and non-atomic increments. Using atomic
increments for now, although this still does not fix the problem.
The callback happens when a task moves from the "blocked" state to the
"running" state. The callback is also inherited by child tasks. There
is currently only a native API.
This code hasn't been heavily exercised yet.
