Series [v4] eliminate mutex in fast path of __register_frame |

Commit Message

Thomas Neumann Sept. 16, 2022, 10:19 a.m. UTC
  The __register_frame/__deregister_frame functions are used to register
unwinding frames from JITed code in a sorted list. That list itself
is protected by object_mutex, which leads to terrible performance
in multi-threaded code and is somewhat expensive even if single-threaded.
There was already a fast-path that avoided taking the mutex if no
frame was registered at all.

This commit eliminates both the mutex and the sorted list from
the atomic fast path, and replaces it with a btree that uses
optimistic lock coupling during lookup. This allows for fully parallel
unwinding and is essential to scale exception handling to large
core counts.

Changes since v3:
- Avoid code duplication by adding query mode to classify_object_over_fdes
- Adjust all comments as requested

libgcc/ChangeLog:

         * unwind-dw2-fde.c (release_registered_frames): Cleanup at shutdown.
         (__register_frame_info_table_bases): Use btree in atomic fast path.
         (__deregister_frame_info_bases): Likewise.
         (_Unwind_Find_FDE): Likewise.
         (base_from_object): Make parameter const.
         (classify_object_over_fdes): Add query-only mode.
         (get_pc_range): Compute PC range for lookup.
         * unwind-dw2-fde.h (last_fde): Make parameter const.
         * unwind-dw2-btree.h: New file.

It looks like pc_range is only used in query mode, so how about moving 
this read and the declaration of pc_range...

Hi Thomas,

This patch broke avr and pru-elf cross builds:
  gcc/libgcc/unwind-dw2-fde.c:680:28: error: unknown type name ‘uintptr_t’
  680 |                            uintptr_t *range)

Should uintptr_t be replaced with __UINTPTR_TYPE__? Such change fixes the
above broken builds for me. But I'm not sure how valid it is for that
part of libgcc.

Other embedded targets like arm-none-eabi are not broken because they
overwrite LIB2ADDEH, and consequently unwind-dw2-fde.c is not built for
them.

Regards,
Dimitar

thanks for notifying me, I was not aware that uintptr_t is not available 
on all platforms. After looking at the existing code I think 
__UINTPTR_TYPE__ is the correct substitute. I will do some more testing 
and commit an s/uintptr_t/__UINTPTR_TYPE__/ patch soon. (I will probably 
use a typedef, as seen in generic-morestack.c, to avoid uglifying the code).

I have fixed that by using a typedef for __UINTPTR_TYPE__.

I haven't debugged this in any way, nor checked whether it only impacts 
exactly my below scenario, but noticed the following:

At least when building LibreOffice with Clang (16 trunk) with ASan and 
UBsan enabled against libstdc++ (with --gcc-toolchain and 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up a libstdc++ trunk build including this change 
at build and run-time), at least one of the LibreOffice tests executed 
during the build started to fail with

Apparently a registered frame is not found when deregistering, which 
triggers an assert. I will debug this. Could you send me a script or a 
description on how to reproduce the issue?

Thanks a lot!  I'm in the process of checking whether a more generic 
LibreOffice build scenario will also exhibit this, and will let you know 
about a (hopefully less demanding) reproducer scenario.

I could not reproduce the issue when building LibreOffice with gcc, but 
after reading the compiler-rt version of crtbegin.c I think the problem 
is the destruction order in compiler-rt. It calls 
__deregister_frame_info_bases after our lookup structure has already 
been destroyed.

Can you try if the patch below fixes the problem? It keeps the data 
structures alive at shutdown, though, which will probably make some leak 
detectors unhappy.

Alternatively we could simply remove the gcc_assert (ob) in line 285 of 
that file. As far as I can see in crt-begin nothing bad happens if we 
return nullptr at shutdown.

Yes, thanks, each of those two alternative approaches would appear to 
fix that LibreOffice build of mine.

Hi,

I couldn't find a Bugzilla account for you Thomas,

I've bisected a slowdown in startup speed for C++ to this change,
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107675 

When dynamically linking a fast enough machine hides the latency, but when
Statically linking or on slower devices this change caused a 5x increase in
Instruction count and 2x increase in cycle count before getting to main.

This has been quite noticeable on smaller devices.  Is there a reason the btree
can't be initialized lazily? It seems a bit harsh to pay the cost of unwinding at
startup even when you don't throw exceptions..

Cheers,
Tamar

we cannot easily do that lazily because otherwise we need a mutex for 
lazy initialization, which is exactly what we wanted to get rid of.

Having said that, I am surprised that you saw a noticeable difference. 
On most platforms there should not be dynamic frame registration at all, 
as the regular frames are directly read from the ELF data.

Can you please send me an precise description on how to reproduce the 
issue? (Platform, tools, a VM if you have one would be great). I will 
then debug this to improve the startup time.

Best

I can see it being called as well for -static linked binaries.
-static links in crtbeginT.o which is libgcc/crtstuff.c built with
CRTSTUFFT_O macro being defined among other things, and that disables
USE_PT_GNU_EH_FRAME:
#if defined(OBJECT_FORMAT_ELF) \
    && !defined(OBJECT_FORMAT_FLAT) \
    && defined(HAVE_LD_EH_FRAME_HDR) \
    && !defined(inhibit_libc) && !defined(CRTSTUFFT_O) \
    && defined(__GLIBC__) && __GLIBC__ >= 2
#include <link.h>
/* uClibc pretends to be glibc 2.2 and DT_CONFIG is defined in its link.h.
   But it doesn't use PT_GNU_EH_FRAME ELF segment currently.  */
# if !defined(__UCLIBC__) \
     && (__GLIBC__ > 2 || (__GLIBC__ == 2 && __GLIBC_MINOR__ > 2) \
     || (__GLIBC__ == 2 && __GLIBC_MINOR__ == 2 && defined(DT_CONFIG)))
#  define USE_PT_GNU_EH_FRAME
# endif
#endif

I think .eh_frame_hdr was never used for statically linked programs,
see already https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2001-12/msg01383.html
We don't pass --eh-frame-hdr when linking statically and dl_iterate_phdr
doesn't handle those.
Now, if -static -Wl,--eh-frame-hdr is passed when linking to the driver,
.eh_frame_hdr section is created and __GNU_EH_FRAME_HDR symbol points to
the start of that section, so at least that section could be found
if something in the crt files and libgcc is adjusted.  But e.g.
i?86, nios2, frv and bfin we also need to find the got.  Also, would it
work even for static PIEs?

It's easy to reproduce on x86 as well.

As a testcase:

#include <cstdio>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    return 0;
}

And just compile with: g++ -O1 hello.cpp -static -o hello.exe.

Before this change on x86 I got:

> perf stat -r 200 ./hello.exe

 Performance counter stats for './hello.exe' (200 runs):

              0.32 msec task-clock                #    0.326 CPUs utilized            ( +-  0.34% )

        0.00096799 +- 0.00000374 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.39% )

And after this change:

I have looked at ways to fix that. The problem is that with static 
linking unwinding tables are registered dynamically, and with my patch 
that registration triggers an eager sort of fde lists. While previously 
the lists were sorted when the first exception was thrown. If an 
application throws at least one exception there is no downside in eager 
sorting, but if the application never throws there is overhead.

The obvious way to improve the situation is to make sorting faster. When 
replacing the split+sort+merge logic with a radix sort (which can be 
done without additional memory) we get the following timings for your
#include <cstdio>
int main() {}
example (with git stat -r 200):

# pre-patch version, fast
               0,06 msec task-clock
            272.286      cycles
            464.754      instructions
# post-patch version, slow
               0,21 msec task-clock
            972.876      cycles
          3.079.515      instructions
# +radix sort, in the middle
               0,13 msec task-clock
            604.697      cycles
          1.702.930      instructions

The radix sort clearly improves things, but it does not fully eliminate 
the overhead.

The question is, how much do we care about that situation (i.e., static 
linking, exceptions registered but never thrown). I could change the 
code to recognize three states instead of two: no exceptions registered, 
exceptions register but never thrown, and full exception mode. But that 
would increase code complexity and it would pessimize applications that 
do throw, as we now need more checks to guard against concurrent changes.

It makes the code more complex and a bit slower, which is why I am 
hesistant. But I can implement that if you think that we need that. Or 
we just replace the sort, which is probably a good idea anyway.

Would it be possible to trigger lazy registration if the version is read
as a zero?  This would not introduce any additional atomic instructions
on the fast path.

Thanks,

yes, that is possible. The main problem is the transition from lazy to 
non-lazy mode when the first exception is thrown. We must somehow stop 
the world for that without introducing an additional mutex. But I have 
though about that some more, and that is possible too, by encoding a 
magic value as version during the transition, which causes the other 
threads to block. A bit ugly, but manageable. I will implement that in a 
few days.

Independent of that I think we should improve the sort logic, as we 
still have to sort, even in lazy mode, at latest when the first 
exception is thrown. I have send a patch that significantly improves 
that step.
