This is v2 of my patch series to demangle minimal symbol names in
worker threads.
v1 was here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-03/msg00211.html
I think this version addresses all the comments, in particular it adds
a simple way to disable threading, and adds some configury.
Regression tested by the buildbot. At one point this was failing most
tests on the i686 builder, but I couldn't reproduce this with my own
i686 build (on the GCC compile farm), and various checks involving
running parts of the test suite on the buildbot using valgrind did not
show anything. In the end, the problem seems to have gone away
(though there are many gdb.arch failures on i686 -- assertion failures
in libopcodes). So, I'm not totally sure what to make of this.

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.

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.

* event-top.c (segv_handler): New global.

(async_init_signals): Install SIGSEGV handler.
* cp-support.c (gdb_demangle_jmp_buf): Change type. Now
thread-local.
(report_failed_demangle): New function.
(gdb_demangle): Make core_dump_allowed atomic. Remove signal
handler-setting code, instead use segv_handler. Run warning code
on main thread.

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.

* minsyms.c (minimal_symbol_reader::record_full): Copy name.
Don't call symbol_set_names.

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.

That looks like a nice startup speed improvement, will be much appreciated
when debugging big executables at work :).

I however do not observe much parallel CPU being used.
What type of operations will be mostly helped by parallel threads ?
One comment about 'maint set|show enable-threads' :
what is the reason to have this as a maintenance command ?
Also, maybe it would be better to have this setting being the
maximum nr of threads to use. In some environments (e.g.
operational environments), one might want to limit the nr of threads
used by GDB.
So, maybe 'maint set enable-threads' might be replaced by something like:
set max-gdb-threads (NUMBER | unlimited)
where unlimited means to use the max permitted by the implementation
(or similar wording as in std::thread::hardware_concurrency),
and where 0 will disable threading.
Note also that I see GDB is starting some threads by default
when guile is configured in, and 'maint set enable-threads off'
seems to not disable this type of threading.
Thanks
Philippe

Philippe> What type of operations will be mostly helped by parallel threads ?
With this series, only demangling of minimal symbols is parallelized.
This does not dominate startup except in unusual situations, maybe a
very large C++ library that has no debuginfo and is unstripped.
Locally I only saw utilization of 1.5 CPUs or so -- so, not very
parallel yet.
The real point of this series is to flush out some of the lower-level
problems with having threading in gdb, so we can use it in more places.
For example, in this series, the SEGV handler stuff; but also this was
the reason for the big exception handling changes.
A better win, I think, would be to parallelize partial symbol reading in
dwarf2read.c. This is a bit tricky... there are cross-CU references to
consider, and also the bcache seems like a point of contention. I've
been wondering if, instead, it would make sense to change the DWARF
reader not to make partial symbols at all.

I think that most users don't know what most programs do under the hood;
nor should they need to. I suppose in some extreme situation maybe
someone would want to do this, but disabling threading in this case
should be good enough. Users like this should probably use gdbserver
instead though.

Guile creates threads by default. In general gdb can't control the
threads made by either Guile or Python, because those can be made by
scripts created at runtime.

It looks relatively common to let the end user control the level of parallelism.
E.g. xz, make, gnatmake, firefox all have a way to let the user tune
the parallelism (nr of processes or threads).

Sorry for being really slow, but how does gdbserver help here? The
threads are to help GDB parse the symbols/debug information from the
ELF, right? In most cases GDB will still be parsing the symbols/debug
from the ELF at the GDB end, not the gdbserver end.

Sure, but I think there's a difference between threads the user has
specifically _asked_ GDB to create (through a script) and threads that
are started to support some builtin GDB feature.
Most users don't build their own GDB (I assume) so don't choose to
enable guile support or not, so I think it probably is worth
mentioning that the guile threads can't be disabled with this flag.
Thanks,
Andrew

My understanding is that the scenario is wanting to limit threads so
that one can run gdb on some resource-constrained machine. In this
situation it's better to run gdbserver on the limited machine and run
gdb on one's desktop.

It's mildly incorrect to say that the user asked for these threads. The
guile ones are created at startup regardless. Also, due to
auto-loading, the user may not be aware of precisely what Python is
running in gdb or what it is doing; though in this case it does seem
pretty unlikely for threading to be used.
I'll change the setting to control the number of threads.

Eli> I'd suggest to say what will threads be used for.
In NEWS I guess it's ok, but elsewhere I'd prefer to be a bit vague
about the precise use of threads. That way the documentation won't go
stale if we add more uses.

That's okay, we can be vague. How about saying that "threads are used
for some CPU-extensive processing, such as ..." and give one example?
My point is that leaving it entirely unsaid is way too vague,
especially for readers who might be debugging programs that themselves
use threads.

I do wonder if there are many duplicates when demangling minsym names.
One idea would be to demangle in parallel and only then fill in the
table.
A similar problem will occur when/if we want to parallelize psymbol
reading. Those use the demangle hash table, but also the bcache. (The
bcache is important, but I found recently that the demangling isn't
really needed -- the names are demangled due to the physname work, and
the demangle hash table is only used to ensure that the bcache gives
good results. Removing the demangling step here can also provide a nice
speedup...)

Use lockless data structures (e.g. concurrencykit.org) ?
But I am quite sure such lockless libraries/data structures will not
be available on all supported GDB platforms, so it might not be very
cheap to change and maintain GDB to use e.g. lockless hash tables
on some platforms and some other hash tables in less common platforms.
Alternatively, develop a few GDB specific lockless data structures
that are protected by a mutex and/or are single threads on less
common platforms ?

[So how's this version to avoid the lock overhead? In case threading
doesn't work correctly for some reason, this is in response to
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-05/msg00753.html and
applies on top of that patchset.
Also available, rebased to trunk, on
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/users/cbiesinger/parallel-minsyms-mutex
]
This avoids the lock contention that was seen with tromey's patch (it
moves it to a once- per-thread lock call from a once-per-symbol call).
It speeds up "attach to Chrome's content_shell binary" from 44 sec -> 30
sec (32%) (compared to GDB trunk), or from 37 sec compared to this
patchset before this patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-09-28 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com>
* minsyms.c (minimal_symbol_reader::install): Only do
demangling on the background thread; still call
symbol_set_names on the main thread.
* symtab.c (symbol_find_demangled_name): Make public,
so that minsyms.c can call it.
(symbol_set_names): Remove mutex. Avoid demangle call
if the demangled name is already set.
* symtab.h (symbol_find_demangled_name): Make public.

I didn't read the patch yet, but this weekend I did rebase my branch and
fixed most of the review issues. So, you may want to consider rebasing

[Thanks Tom -- here's a rebased version, with also a small improvement
to parallel-for.h]
This avoids the lock contention that was seen with tromey's patch (it
moves it to a once- per-thread lock call from a once-per-symbol call).
It speeds up "attach to Chrome's content_shell binary" from 44 sec -> 30
sec (32%) (compared to GDB trunk), or from 37 sec compared to this
patchset before this patch.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-09-28 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com>
* gdbsupport/parallel-for.h (parallel_for_each): Add a way to
run a function on each thread after the elements are processed,
to "finish up" computations.
* minsyms.c (minimal_symbol_reader::install): Only do
demangling on the background thread; still call
symbol_set_names on the main thread.
* symtab.c (symbol_find_demangled_name): Make public,
so that minsyms.c can call it.
(symbol_set_names): Remove mutex. Avoid demangle call
if the demangled name is already set.
* symtab.h (symbol_find_demangled_name): Make public.

Looking at your current patch version, I noticed this line in parallel-for.h:
+ if (n_threads > 1 && 2 * n_threads >= n_elements)
I am fairly sure this should be <= in the threads comparison,
otherwise you only use threads if there are few elements, which is the
opposite of what is desired (perhaps a merge error?)

I probably messed it up when adding the "maint" control.
Thanks very much for pointing this out.

IIUC the idea is to separate the demangling from updating the
demangled_names_hash.
A couple of thoughts on that...

There's no deep reason that these things have to be stored on the
per-BFD obstack -- and requiring this means an extra copy. Instead we
could change the hash table to use ordinary heap allocation, and I think
this would be more efficient when demangling in worker threads, because
we could just reuse the existing allocation.
Also, it seems fine to serialize the calls to symbol_set_names. There's
no need for a lock at all, then.
One idea I had was to parallelize build_minimal_symbol_hash_tables as
well: when possible, have it run two threads, and create the hash tables
in parallel. Adding a third thread here to update the
demangled_names_hash might help too? Maybe this approach would
eliminate the need for your "Compute msymbol hash codes in parallel"
patch ... the issue there being that it makes the minsyms larger.
(Another way to handle that would be to keep the hashes in a local array
of some kind that is discarded once the hash tables are updated.)

Yes indeed. I was actually thinking of that last night -- we could
change to a hash_set<demangled_name_entry> + reuse the alloc from
gdb_demangle and avoid any allocations here.

True, though this way, if some threads finish faster than others it's
possible to parallelize the work a bit more.

Hmm, yeah, that's a good idea. I hadn't thought of doing it quite that way.

The local array is a bit tricky... it needs an entry for each msymbol,
which is only known at runtime. So it can't be stack-allocated with a
fixed size, and I'm hesitant to use alloca for this unbounded size. So
it would require a heap allocation for that vector. Maybe it's still
worth it...
OK, let me play with some ideas.

Here are some new measurements on trunk (this is also with a
recompiled Chrome); either trunk gdb is slower or trunk Chrome is
bigger. I'll call tromey/t/parallel-minsyms-mutex "tromey" below.
GDB Trunk: 49.8s
tromey: 53-54s (!)
tromey + my patch here: ~30.3s
tromey + my patch here +
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-09/msg00633.html: 24.8s
(-18% compared to previous)
tromey + my patch here +
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/users/cbiesinger/minsym-hash-one-thread:
28.8s (only -5%)
I repeatedly measured "tromey" because it is so slow and got
consistent results. It must be due to the lock contention.

Although now that I re-read this, I'm not sure if I understood you
correctly, did you want to allocate more things with regular
malloc/new?

Trying this out, it seems to be about 1-1.5s slower (3-5%). However,
this did make me realize that there's no real reason why the mutex
should be global, so I'm going to move it inside this function.

See measurements above for users/cbiesinger/minsym-hash-one-thread;
it's not nearly as fast as my "Compute msymbol hash codes in parallel"
patch. However I couldn't do it quite as you suggested (as mentioned
in IRC, but writing it down here as well for anyone watching):
- Building the demangled minsym hash table requires having the
demangled names available, so it needs to happen at the very least
after find_demangled_name
- But it can't happen in parallel with symbol_set_names either,
because that may change the pointer (to one from the hashtable)
- So in practice, I can only build the msymbol_hash table on a thread,
and that's the faster one (search_name_hash is slowish)

Putting this in a vector works out! It might possibly be a couple of
tenths of a second faster even. Pushed to:
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=85f7818c32fdf5b9fbd24f08320c54e9f9d50b4c
Actually makes me wonder if I could precompute the hash code for
demangled_names_hash in a similar way...
Will send an updated version of this patch in a bit.

We can also compute the hash for the mangled name on a background

2019-10-03 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com>

of the mangled name on the background thread.
* symtab.c (symbol_set_names): Allow passing in the hash of the
linkage_name.
* symtab.h (symbol_set_names): Likewise.

This avoids the lock contention that was seen with tromey's patch (it
moves it to a once- per-thread lock call from a once-per-symbol call).
It speeds up "attach to Chrome's content_shell binary" from 44 sec -> 30
sec (32%) (compared to GDB trunk), or from 37 sec compared to this
patchset before this patch.
