Wolfgang Jeltsch pushed to branch wip/jeltsch/stability-risk-1-and-2-module-deprecation at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: aa5dfe67 by Sylvain Henry at 2026-03-26T03:48:56-04:00 Check that shift values are valid In GHC's codebase in non-DEBUG builds we silently substitute shiftL/R with unsafeShiftL/R for performance reasons. However we were not checking that the shift value was valid for unsafeShiftL/R, leading to wrong computations, but only in non-DEBUG builds. This patch adds the necessary checks and reports an error when a wrong shift value is passed. - - - - - c8a7b588 by Sylvain Henry at 2026-03-26T03:48:56-04:00 Implement basic value range analysis (#25718) Perform basic value range analysis to try to determine at compile time the result of the application of some comparison primops (ltWord#, etc.). This subsumes the built-in rewrite rules used previously to check if one of the comparison argument was a bound (e.g. (x :: Word8) <= 255 is always True). Our analysis is more powerful and handles type conversions: e.g. word8ToWord x <= 255 is now detected as always True too. We also use value range analysis to filter unreachable alternatives in case-expressions. To support this, we had to allow case-expressions for primitive types to not have a DEFAULT alternative (as was assumed before and checked in Core lint). - - - - - a5ec467e by ARATA Mizuki at 2026-03-26T03:49:49-04:00 rts: Align stack to 64-byte boundary in StgRun on x86 When LLVM spills AVX/AVX-512 vector registers to the stack, it requires 32-byte (__m256) or 64-byte (__m512) alignment. If the stack is not sufficiently aligned, LLVM inserts a realignment prologue that reserves %rbp as a frame pointer, conflicting with GHC's use of %rbp as an STG callee-saved register and breaking the tail-call-based calling convention. Previously, GHC worked around this by lying to LLVM about the stack alignment and rewriting aligned vector loads/stores (VMOVDQA, VMOVAPS) to unaligned ones (VMOVDQU, VMOVUPS) in the LLVM Mangler. This had two problems: - It did not extend to AVX-512, which requires 64-byte alignment. (#26595) - When Haskell calls a C function that takes __m256/__m512 arguments on the stack, the callee requires genuine alignment, which could cause a segfault. (#26822) This patch genuinely aligns the stack to 64 bytes in StgRun by saving the original stack pointer before alignment and restoring it in StgReturn. We now unconditionally advertise 64-byte stack alignment to LLVM for all x86 targets, making rewriteAVX in the LLVM Mangler unnecessary. STG_RUN_STACK_FRAME_SIZE is increased from 48 to 56 bytes on non-Windows x86-64 to store the saved stack pointer.

GHC.Internal.Generics used to be in the middle of the module graph, but now it is nearer the top (built later). This change thins out the module graph and allows us to get rid of the ByteOrder hs-boot file. We implement this by moving Generics instances from the module where the datatype is defined to the GHC.Internal.Generics module. This trades off increasing the compiled size of GHC.Internal.Generics with reducing the dependency footprint of datatype modules. Not all instances are moved to GHC.Internal.Generics. For instance, `GHC.Internal.Control.Monad.Fix` keeps its instance as it is one of the very last modules compiled in `ghc-internal` and so inverting the relationship here would risk adding GHC.Internal.Generics back onto the critical path. We also don't change modules that are re-exported from the `template-haskell` or `ghc-heap`. This is done to make it easy to eventually move `Generics` to `base` once something like #26657 is implemented.

The register allocator must know this to avoid clobbering live values. Update regUsageOfInstr to list the destination in both src and dst sets. No regression test: triggering the misallocation requires specific register pressure around a MOVK sequence, which is difficult to reliably provoke from Haskell source. - - - - - 57b7878d by Simon Jakobi at 2026-03-26T03:53:07-04:00 Add regression test for #12002 Closes #12002. - - - - - c8f9df2d by Simon Jakobi at 2026-03-26T03:53:07-04:00 Add regression test for #12046 Closes #12046.

This is not always true: the TSO can migrate before the inbox entry is handled. When that happened, handleCloneStackMessage could clone a live stack from the wrong capability and use the wrong capability for allocation and performTryPutMVar, leading to stack sanity failures such as checkStackFrame: weird activation record found on stack. Fix this by passing the current capability into handleCloneStackMessage, rechecking msg->tso->cap at handling time, and forwarding the message if the TSO has migrated. Once ownership matches, use the executing capability consistently for cloneStack, rts_apply, and performTryPutMVar.

This commit changes `flushEventLog` to acquire/release the `state_change` mutex to prevent interleaving with `startEventLogging` and `endEventLogging`. In the current RTS, `flushEventLog` _does not_ acquire this mutex, which may lead to eventlog corruption on the following interleaving: - `startEventLogging` writes the new `EventLogWriter` to `event_log_writer`. - `flushEventLog` flushes some events to `event_log_writer`. - `startEventLogging` writes the eventlog header to `event_log_writer`. This causes the eventlog to be written out in an unreadable state, with one or more events preceding the eventlog header. This commit renames the old function to `flushEventLog_` and defines `flushEventLog` simply as: ```c void flushEventLog(Capability **cap USED_IF_THREADS) { ACQUIRE_LOCK(&state_change_mutex); flushEventLog_(cap); RELEASE_LOCK(&state_change_mutex); } ``` The old function is still needed internally within the compilation unit, where it is used in `endEventLogging` in a context where the `state_change` mutex has already been acquired. I've chosen to mark `flushEventLog_` as static and let other uses of `flushEventLog` within the RTS refer to the new version. There is one use in `hs_init_ghc` via `flushTrace`, where the new locking behaviour should be harmless, and one use in `handle_tick`, which I believe was likely vulnerable to the same race condition, so the new locking behaviour is desirable. I have not added a test. The behaviour is highly non-deterministic and requires a program that concurrently calls `flushEventLog` and `startEventLogging`/`endEventLogging`. I encountered the issue while developing `eventlog-socket` and within that context have verified that my patch likely addresses the issue: a test that used to fail within the first dozen or so runs now has been running on repeat for several hours. - - - - - 7b9a75f0 by Phil Hazelden at 2026-03-26T03:58:37-04:00 Fix build with werror on glibc 2.43. We've been defining `_XOPEN_SOURCE` and `_POSIX_C_SOURCE` to the same values as defined in glibc prior to 2.43. But in 2.43, glibc changes them to new values, which means we get a warning when redefining them. By `#undef`ing them first, we no longer get a warning.
