  To: gdb-patches; +Cc: Tom Tromey

This patch introduces a simple parallel for_each and changes the
minimal symbol reader to use it when computing the demangled name for
a minimal symbol.  This yields a speedup when reading minimal symbols.

gdb/ChangeLog
2019-05-29  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* minsyms.c (minimal_symbol_reader::install): Use
	parallel_for_each.
	* common/parallel-for.h: New file.
	* common/parallel-for.c: New file.
	* Makefile.in (HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add common/parallel-for.h.
	(COMMON_SFILES): Add common/parallel-for.c.

This adds a configure check for std::thread.  This is needed because
std::thread is not available in mingw.

	* Makefile.in (PTHREAD_CFLAGS, PTHREAD_LIBS): New variables.
	(INTERNAL_CFLAGS_BASE): Use PTHREAD_CFLAGS.
	(CLIBS): Use PTHREAD_LIBS.
	(aclocal_m4_deps): Add ax_pthread.m4.
	* config.in, configure: Rebuild.
	* common/common.m4 (GDB_AC_COMMON): Check for std::thread.

ada_decode has a static buffer, which means it is not thread-safe.
This patch removes the buffer and adds a parameter so that the storage
can be managed by the caller.

gdb/ChangeLog
2019-05-29  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* ada-varobj.c (ada_varobj_describe_simple_array_child): Update.
	* ada-lang.h (ada_decode): Add "storage" parameter.
	* ada-lang.c (ada_decode): Add "storage" parameter.

Currently the demangled name of a minimal symbol is set when creating
the symbol.  However, there is no intrinsic need to do this.  This
patch instead arranges for the demangling to be done just before the
minsym hash tables are filled.  This will be useful in a later patch.

This is v3 of my patch series to demangle minimal symbol names in
worker threads.

v2 was here:

    https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-05/msg00448.html

This version adds control over the maximum number of threads to use,
and attempts to address the documentation review comments.

The gdb demangler installs a SIGSEGV handler in order to protect gdb
from demangler bugs.  However, this is not thread-safe, as signal
handlers are global to the process.

This patch changes gdb to always install a global SIGSEGV handler, and
then lets thread indicate their interest in handling the signal by
setting a thread-local variable.

This patch then arranges for the demangler code to use this; being
sure to arrange for calls to warning and the like to be done on the
main thread.

Is there a reason the buffer is a unique_ptr instead of a std::string?
Or a reason that a std::string could be better?  Wondering
out loud --  the small string optimization crossed my mind, though
probably Ada symbol names rarely fit in it.

I wonder whether an interface like the below be preferred?

 class ada_decoder_storage
 {
 public:
   ada_decoder_storage () = default;

   /* May return a pointer to m_storage, therefore the result
      is only guaranteed valid for as long as this
      ada_decoder_storage object is live, or until the next
      decode call.  */
   const char *decode (const char *encoded);

 private:
   gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<char> m_storage;
 };

That would allow hiding the storage type from clients, like:

  ada_sniff_from_mangled_name (const char *mangled, char **out)
  {
 -  const char *demangled = ada_decode (mangled);
 +  ada_decoder_storage decoder;
 +  const char *demangled = decoder.decode (mangled);

With that, sometimes you wouldn't need to name a temp, like in:

      error (_("Could not find renamed variable: %s"),
	     ada_decode_storage ().decode (name));

Note: while I was working on the C++ wildmatching stuff a couple years
back, I ran into pretty simple C/C++ use case that consistently showed
ada_decode on top of perf profiles, I think coming from sniffing the
minsym's language.  I wrote some patches optimizing it, but in the end since
they weren't required for the wildmatching stuff, I didn't include them
in the upstream submission back then and never found the time to submit
them since:

 https://github.com/palves/gdb/commits/palves/ada-decode-speedups

Unfortunately apparently I didn't write down anywhere that the usecase
was...  And worse, that branch is causing regressions now, but I'm quite
sure that it didn't back then...  Oh well.  Just a FYI anyway.

The reason I'm bringing this up, is that your patch will introduce
heap allocations for the storage, and that reminded me of the desire to
optimize ada_decode.  I would hope that the buffer/storage
can be reused when we need to decode many symbols.

Anyway, again I don't have a testcase handy, so take it as a FYI.
Might be the recent-ish glibc malloc improvements manage to reuse
the same heap block in such case, making the issue moot in practice.

Thanks,
Pedro Alves

AFAICT, the patch actually does two things:

- Add autoconf bits (ax_pthread.m4) to make sure we build with the
  right -pthread, -pthreads, -lpthread, -lpthreads, or whatever the
  right spelling is on the host to pull in the pthreads library.

- Adds a configure check for std::thread, since it is not available
  on some platforms, at least out of the box.  I think mingw-w64
  (but not mingw.org) supports std::thread OOTB nowadays.  I'd guess
  that DJGPP doesn't support it either, at least OOTB.  Googling around
  seems to confirm that.

Right?

It'll be good to extend the commit log in that direction, IMO.

Is there reason to prefer sinclude over m4_include?  I never
got why we use sinclude so frequently, given it doesn't error
out if the file doesn't exist.

I think you meant save_CXXFLAGS here.

Otherwise looks fine to me.

Not just modifying but when accessing as well.  

There's only a single mutex, and the comment says _THE_ demangled
hash table, but AFAICS, each per_bfd has its own table, right?

A single lock for every table compared to a lock per table might be
a good approach, but I'd welcome extended comments to explain
that design choice.

Can Python's gdb.post_event be built on top of this?
It would fix that nasty "atomically enough" race in gdbpy_run_events,
I guess.

I'd think this should swallow errors when calling
each item, instead of letting an exception escape and
discard all other items, since each item call should be
in principle logically unrelated?

Maybe we could unit test this code.

Yes, and actually I wrote a patch to do this once, but I dropped it from
this series because it was unrelated.

I wasn't sure how.  But for this maybe the callback should be noexcept.

The design is explained here, but the patch itself doesn't include
any comment in that direction.  I think future readers of the code
would benefit a lot such commentary.

Are accesses to gdb_demangle_attempt_core_dump going to be racy?
Maybe not, didn't think that much about it.  If they are, I wonder whether it
wouldn't be better if this whole can_dump_core check block were moved to the
main thread, before threads are spun?  Say, to a gdb_demangle_init() function?
Not sure, might not be convenient form an abstraction-hiding perspective.

gdb_demangle_jmp_buf is now a pointer, but I'm not seeing

I think it'd help readability if this were named something

In a unit test, the main thread code could spawn a thread that calls
run_on_main_thread.  The main thread would then nest an event loop
to run the main-thread events.
The posted event would write to a global that would unlock the nested
event loop.  Something similar to wait_sync_command_done.

Hmm, maybe.  But then if someone forgets to try/catch, we end up
aborting gdb.  Pick what you prefer, as long as we decide and document
something.

Forgot to say: I wouldn't call it unrelated.  You could use it as yet-another
proof that run_on_main_thread is a useful abstraction, which even fixes
a race/bug.  I'd be happy to see such a patch.  ( but no rush :-) )

Just to be sure something wasn't lost in translation here:
by "extended" above, I just meant that I'd like to see comments
extended in that direction, not that I'd like to see super mega long
comments.  :-)

"16 cores ought to be enough for anybody", right?  :-)

Just kidding.  Longer term I could see this evolving into
pulling threads out of a worker thread pool shared by all
kinds of parallel_for_each calls in the tree, but I'm super
fine with the simple initial design.

LGTM.

Yes, that's correct.  I'll fix the comment.

I didn't want to put a mutex into the per-bfd object, mostly because it
uses space for the entire lifetime of that, while the mutex is only used
while demangling minsym names; and that can (currently) only be done for
one objfile at a time.

The thread pool approach is nice because it means there isn't thread
startup overhead -- just whatever overhead there is from pushing jobs
onto a queue.

On the down side, a thread pool is somewhat more complicated.

Still, if we want it eventually, maybe we should just start with it.
One possible bad part is that if we don't have std::thread then I wonder
if the other things like futures will be available.

Yeah.  I'm glad you caught this since it points out that we have to call
