This adds an implementation of the Chase-Lev work-stealing deque to libstd
under std::rt::deque. I've been unable to break the implementation of the deque
itself, and it's not super highly optimized just yet (everything uses a SeqCst
memory ordering).
The major snag in implementing the chase-lev deque is that the buffers used to
store data internally cannot get deallocated back to the OS. In the meantime, a
shared buffer pool (synchronized by a normal mutex) is used to
deallocate/allocate buffers from. This is done in hope of not overcommitting too
much memory. It is in theory possible to eventually free the buffers, but one
must be very careful in doing so.
I was unable to get some good numbers from src/test/bench tests (I don't think
many of them are slamming the work queue that much), but I was able to get some
good numbers from one of my own tests. In a recent rewrite of select::select(),
I found that my implementation was incredibly slow due to contention on the
shared work queue. Upon switching to the parallel deque, I saw the contention
drop to 0 and the runtime go from 1.6s to 0.9s with the most amount of time
spent in libuv awakening the schedulers (plus allocations).

* Added doc comments explaining what all public functionality does.
* Added the ability to spawn a detached thread
* Added the ability for the procs to return a value in 'join'

The reasons for doing this are:
* The model on which linked failure is based is inherently complex
* The implementation is also very complex, and there are few remaining who
fully understand the implementation
* There are existing race conditions in the core context switching function of
the scheduler, and possibly others.
* It's unclear whether this model of linked failure maps well to a 1:1 threading
model
Linked failure is often a desired aspect of tasks, but we would like to take a
much more conservative approach in re-implementing linked failure if at all.

This makes `Cell`s no longer necessary in most cases.
|
|
The logging macros all use libuv-based I/O, and there was one stray debug
statement in task::spawn which was executing before the I/O context was ready.
Remove it and add a test to make sure that we can continue to debug this sort of
code.
Closes #10405

Now that the type_id intrinsic is working across crates, all of these
unnecessary messages can be removed to have the failure type for a task truly be
~Any and only ~Any
|
|
- `begin_unwind` is now generic over any `T: Any + Send`.
- Every value you fail with gets boxed as an `~Any`.
- Because of implementation details, `&'static str` and `~str` are still
handled specially behind the scenes.
- Changed the big macro source string in libsyntax to a raw string
literal, and enabled doc comments there.

There are a few reasons that this is a desirable move to take:
1. Proof of concept that a third party event loop is possible
2. Clear separation of responsibility between rt::io and the uv-backend
3. Enforce in the future that the event loop is "pluggable" and replacable
Here's a quick summary of the points of this pull request which make this
possible:
* Two new lang items were introduced: event_loop, and event_loop_factory.
The idea of a "factory" is to define a function which can be called with no
arguments and will return the new event loop as a trait object. This factory
is emitted to the crate map when building an executable. The factory doesn't
have to exist, and when it doesn't then an empty slot is in the crate map and
a basic event loop with no I/O support is provided to the runtime.
* When building an executable, then the rustuv crate will be linked by default
(providing a default implementation of the event loop) via a similar method to
injecting a dependency on libstd. This is currently the only location where
the rustuv crate is ever linked.
* There is a new #[no_uv] attribute (implied by #[no_std]) which denies
implicitly linking to rustuv by default
Closes #5019

Primarily this makes the Scheduler and all of its related interfaces public. The
reason for doing this is that currently any extern event loops had no access to
the scheduler at all. This allows third-party event loops to manipulate the
scheduler, along with allowing the uv event loop to live inside of its own
crate.

Some code cleanup, sorting of import blocks
Removed std::unstable::UnsafeArc's use of Either
Added run-fail tests for the new FailWithCause impls
Changed future_result and try to return Result<(), ~Any>.
- Internally, there is an enum of possible fail messages passend around.
- In case of linked failure or a string message, the ~Any gets
lazyly allocated in future_results recv method.
- For that, future result now returns a wrapper around a Port.
- Moved and renamed task::TaskResult into rt::task::UnwindResult
and made it an internal enum.
- Introduced a replacement typedef `type TaskResult = Result<(), ~Any>`.

This moves as many as I could over to ~Trait instead of ~Typedef. The only
remaining one is the IoFactoryObject which should be coming soon...

Who doesn't like a massive renaming?

This change was waiting for privacy to get sorted out, which should be true now
that #8215 has landed.
Closes #4427
|
|
|
|
This commit fixes all of the fallout of the previous commit which is an attempt
to refine privacy. There were a few unfortunate leaks which now must be plugged,
and the most horrible one is the current `shouldnt_be_public` module now inside
`std::rt`. I think that this either needs a slight reorganization of the
runtime, or otherwise it needs to just wait for the external users of these
modules to get replaced with their `rt` implementations.
Other fixes involve making things pub which should be pub, and otherwise
updating error messages that now reference privacy instead of referencing an
"unresolved name" (yay!).

This removes the stacking of type parameters that occurs when invoking
trait methods, and fixes all places in the standard library that were
relying on it. It is somewhat awkward in places; I think we'll probably
want something like the `Foo::<for T>::new()` syntax.

Mostly optimizing TLS accesses to bring local heap allocation performance
closer to that of oldsched. It's not completely at parity but removing the
branches involved in supporting oldsched and optimizing pthread_get/setspecific
to instead use our dedicated TCB slot will probably make up for it.

queue shared by each scheduler. Now there is a separate work queue for each scheduler, and work is "stolen" from other queues when it is exhausted locally.

old design the TLS held the scheduler struct, and the scheduler struct
held the active task. This posed all sorts of weird problems due to
how we wanted to use the contents of TLS. The cleaner approach is to
leave the active task in TLS and have the task hold the scheduler. To
make this work out the scheduler has to run inside a regular task, and
then once that is the case the context switching code is massively
simplified, as instead of three possible paths there is only one. The
logical flow is also easier to follow, as the scheduler struct acts
somewhat like a "token" indicating what is active.
These changes also necessitated changing a large number of runtime
tests, and rewriting most of the runtime testing helpers.
Polish level is "low", as I will very soon start on more scheduler
changes that will require wiping the polish off. That being said there
should be sufficient comments around anything complex to make this
entirely respectable as a standalone commit.

This removes a bunch of options from the task builder interface that are irrelevant to the new scheduler and were generally unused anyway. It also bumps the stack size of new scheduler tasks so that there's enough room to run rustc and changes the interface to `Thread` to not implicitly join threads on destruction, but instead require an explicit, and mandatory, call to `join`.

`type_new` was changed to `Type::new`
`type_function(value)` was changed to `value.method()`
