This commit resumes management of the stack boundaries and limits when switching
between tasks. This additionally leverages the __morestack function to run code
on "stack overflow". The current behavior is to abort the process, but this is
probably not the best behavior in the long term (for deails, see the comment I
wrote up in the stack exhaustion routine).
As discovered in #9925, it turns out that we weren't using jemalloc on most
platforms. Additionally, on some platforms we were using it incorrectly and
mismatching the libc version of malloc with the jemalloc version of malloc.
Additionally, it's not clear that using jemalloc is indeed a large performance
win in particular situtations. This could be due to building jemalloc
incorrectly, or possibly due to using jemalloc incorrectly, but it is unclear at
this time.
Until jemalloc can be confirmed to integrate correctly on all platforms and has
verifiable large performance wins on platforms as well, it shouldn't be part of
the default build process. It should still be available for use via the
LD_PRELOAD trick on various architectures, but using it as the default allocator
for everything would require guaranteeing that it works in all situtations,
which it currently doesn't.
Closes#9925
This lets the C++ code in the rt handle the (slightly) tricky parts of
random number generation: e.g. error detection/handling, and using the
values of the `#define`d options to the various functions.
Some of the functions could be converted to rust, but the functions dealing with
signals were moved to rust_builtin.cpp instead (no reason to keep the original
file around for one function).
Closes#2674
Because less C++ is better C++!

This works by adding this directory to GCC include search path before mingw system headers directories,
so we can intercept their inclusions and add missing definitions without having to modify files in mingw/include.
This is a reopening of the libuv-upgrade part of #8645. Hopefully this won't
cause random segfaults all over the place. The windows regression in testing
should also be fixed (it shouldn't build the whole compiler twice).
A notable difference from before is that gyp is now a git submodule instead of
always git-cloned at make time. This allows bundling for releases more easily.
Closes#8850
It turns out that gyp (libuv's new build system) wants x64 for a 64-bit x86
architecture and ia32 for a 32-bit architecture, so this performs the relevant
mapping and then invokes libuv's configure script with the appropriate target
architecture.
This can be verified by running make with VERBOSE=1 and seeing that beforehand
on a 64-bit build libuv was passed "-arch i386" and now it's passed
"-arch x86_64"
Closes#8826
The syntax of the script requires python < 3, and so does our build system so we
can just use CFG_PYTHON to run the script. This prevents build failures where
`python` is actually python3 or later.
There were two main differences with the old libuv and the master version:
1. The uv_last_error function is now gone. The error code returned by each
function is the "last error" so now a UvError is just a wrapper around a
c_int.
2. The repo no longer includes a makefile, and the build system has change.
According to the build directions on joyent/libuv, this now downloads a `gyp`
program into the `libuv/build` directory and builds using that. This
shouldn't add any dependences on autotools or anything like that.
Closes#8407Closes#6567Closes#6315
Apparently the standard --build and --host flags don't actually
_do_ anything. This re-uses the libuv flags, since they are the
same for getting jemalloc to cross-compile
This lets us use #ifdefs to determine which stage of the build we happen
to be in, which is useful in the event we need to make changes to rustrt
that are incompatible with the code generated by stage0.
This should help pave the way to completing #6575, which will likely
require changes to type signatures for spawn_fn & glue_fn in rustrt.
It uses the private field of TCB head to store stack limit. I tested on my Raspberry PI. A simple hello world program ran without any problem. However, for a more complex program, it segfaulted as #6231.
- thanks to work in libuv's upstream, we can call libuv's Makefile directly
with parameters, instead of descending in gyp-uv madness and generating
our own.
Safe points are exported in a per-module list via the crate map. A C
runtime call walks the crate map at startup and aggregates the list of
safe points for the program.
Currently the GC doesn't actually deallocate memory on malloc and
free. Adding the GC at this stage is primarily of testing value.
The GC does attempt to clean up exchange heap and stack-allocated
resource on failure.
A result of this patch is that the user now needs to be careful about
what code they write in destructors, because the GC and/or failure
cleanup may need to call destructors. Specifically, calls to malloc
are considered unsafe and may result in infinite loops or segfaults.
This just moves the responsibility for joining with scheduler threads
off to a worker thread. This will be needed when we allow tasks to be
scheduled on the main thread.
rust_sched_launcher is actually responsible for setting up the thread and
starting the loop. There will be other implementations that do not actually
set up a new thread, in order to support scheduling tasks on the main OS
thread.
