Make exported stop/startTimer no-ops, and rename internal functions
Specifically, internally rename:
stop/startTimer to pause/unpauseTimer
stop/startTicker to pause/unpauseTicker
and keep stop/startTimer as exported functions, but now as no-ops.
In the past the stop/startTicker actions were used incorrectly as if
they were synchronous, which they are not. See issue #27105. We now
document pause/unpackTicker as being async and not to be used for the
purpose of concurrency safety.
The existing stop/startTimer (note Timer not Ticker, the Timer calls the
Ticker!) are also exported from the RTS as a public API. This was
historically because the ticker used signals and it was important to
suspend the timer signel over a process fork. So these functions were
exported to be used by the process and unix libraries.
We cannot just remove the RTS exports, but we now make them no-ops, and
they can be removed from the process and unix library later. This
was already documented in a changelog.d entry no-more-timer-signal but
due to changes during the MR process the change to make stop/startTicker
into no-ops didn't make it into the earlier MR.

posix ticker: improve the implementation
The existing implementation supported pausing and exiting, with the
implementation of pausing reling on a mutex and condition variable.
It needed to check the pause and stop shared variables on every
iteration. It relies on ppoll or select, to wait on the timeout and also
wait on an interrupt fd. The interrupt fd was only used for prompt
exit/shutdown, and not for pausing or other notification. The pause only
needed a lock and a memory operation, but the pause was not prompt. The
resume used a lock, and signaling a cond var.
The new implementation uses a somewhat more regular design: every
notification is done by setting a shared variable and
interrupting/notifying the ticker via the fd. The ticker thread does not
need to check any shared variables on normal timer expiry, only when it
recevies notification. This may be a micro-optimisation, but the tick
occurs 100 times a second by default so any improvements in the hot path
are amplified. When the ticker thread does receive notification it can
check the various shared variables and update its local state. The
blocking relies on using ppoll/select but without a timeout. This avoids
the condition var and also allows further notifications when paused
(also used for unpausing).
This design can be extended with further notification types if needed by
using and checking further shared vars (or making existing shared vars
an enum or counter). This may be used in future for additional
notifications to the ticker thread. This will likely be used to proxy
wakeUpRts from a single handler context for example. And this approach,
avoiding mutexes, is compatible with use from signal handlers.
So overall, it's:
* slightly simpler / more regular;
* easier to extend with additional notifications;
* probably slightly more efficient (but a micro-optimisation);
* and supports calling notification from signal handlers

ticker: remove now-unnecessary layer of enable/disable
There was an atomic variable used to block *part* of the actions of the
tick handler. This still did not make stopTimer synchronous, even for
the part of the the handle_tick actions it covered. It also added a more
expensive (sequentuially consistent) atomic operation in the hot path
for the handle_tick action, whereas our new design requires no atomic
ops at all.
Now that we have eliminate the need for synchronous stop/startTicker,
we don't need this not-quite-working-anyway atomic protocol. The new
pause/unpauseTicker is explicitly asynchronous and idempotent.

Adjust releaseCapability_ precondition to allow cap->running_task == NULL
There are two use cases for releaseCapability_:
1. The current Task (cap->running_task) releases the Capability.
The Capability is marked free, and if there is any work to do,
an appropriate Task is woken up.
2. There is no current task (cap->task == NULL), and thus the
Capability is idle, and we want to wake up an idle Task to animate
the Capability. This case uses always_wakeup.
Currently, the precondition for releaseCapability_ is
cap->running_task != NULL
and so the 2nd use cases have to set cap->running_task (which is then
immediately overwritten) just to satisfy the precondition. See the
use cases in sendMessage and prodCapability.
So we can relax the precondition to be:
cap->running_task != NULL || always_wakeup
so that in the always_wakeup case, we say it is ok for the
cap->running_task to be NULL.
This lets us simplify sendMessage and prodCapability. In particular it
will allow prodCapability to not need a Task parameter.
The ulterior motive for all this is that I want to be able to call
prodCapability from an OS thread that is not itself a Task, in persuit
of issue #27086: disentangle I/O managers from wakeUpRts. The most
straightforward way to wake the RTS is using prodCapability, but the
context in which we will need to do that are threads that are not Tasks.

Add a wakeUpRtsViaTicker feature to the posix ticker

-

by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-01T22:29:56+01:00
Change how wakeUpRts works
Previously it would call wakeupIOManager to get a capability to wake up
and run. This works but it entangles the I/O managers with unrelated
features: ctl-c handling and idle gc (the two features that use wakeUpRts).
The reason it used wakeupIOManager is that this action is safe to use
from a posix signal handler, since it just posts bytes to a pipe.
Otherwise the more direct approach (used e.g. by sendMessage when the
target capability is idle) is to use releaseCapability. But that uses
condition variables and mutexes, which are not safe to use from within a
signal handler.
So instead of entangling the (multiple) I/O managers with this, we make
wakeUpRts use the direct approach (using prodOneCapability). On win32
the ctl-c console handler can call wakeUpRts directly, since it is
called in a proper thread. On posix, to deal with the signal handler
problem, we make the signal handler ask the ticker thread to proxy the
call to wakeUpRts, since the ticker thread is also a proper thread.
This will allow the I/O managers to no longer be concerned with this.
This is good because there are many I/O managers (and they're
complicated), but there is (on posix) only one ticker implementation. So
this is an overall reduction in coupling and complexity.

Test driver: normalise line numbers into libraries
When comparing the stdout of tests that print out callstacks, we can't
rely on the stability of exact line:column spans pointing into libraries
(e.g. ghc-internal), as any change (such as adding a comment) can change
them.
This commit addresses this by normalising away line:column in callstacks,
but only when those point into internal libraries. We don't do this in
general, as the exact span might be important to the test (e.g. for a
span within the test module itself).

Decoupling 'L.H.S' from 'GHC.Hs.Doc'
* Migrated 'GHC.Hs.Doc' and 'GHC.Hs.DocString' AST defintions from 'GHC.*' namespace,
to new 'Language.Haskell.Syntax.Doc' module in the 'L.H.S' "namespace."
* Updated 'HsDocString to be TTG-parameterised as 'HsDocString pass'.
* Added 'GHC.Hs.Extension.Pass': splits 'GhcPass'/'Pass' and all 'HsDocString'
TTG instances out of 'GHC.Hs.Extension', which re-exports it unchanged
(this is backwards compatible and prevents the introduction of a boot file).
* Deleted 'GHC.Hs.Doc.hs-boot'; removed all 'L.H.S.*' imports of 'GHC.Hs.Doc'.
* Updated 'GHC.Hs.DocString' to be TTG pass-parameterised throughout; moved
'mkHsDocStringChunk'/'unpackHDSC' here (require 'GHC.Utils.Encoding').
* Split 'GHC.Rename.Doc.rnHsDoc' from 'rnHsDocIdentifiersOnly'.
* Updated parser, renamer, typechecker, HIE, and exact-print for new types.
* Added 'HsDocString' TTG instances for 'DocNameI' to 'Haddock.Types'.
* Killed the last module loop between GHC.* and LHS.*.
- Only edges from LHS.* to GHC.Data.FastString now!

worker/wrapper and the specialiser keep the real argument instead.

ttg: Using ShortText over FastString in the AST
To make the AST independent of GHC, this commit replaces usages of
`FastString` with `HText` in the AST, killing the last edge from
Language.Haskell.* to GHC.* modules.
Even though we /do/ want to use FastStrings in general -- critically in
Names or Ids -- there is no particular reason for the FastStrings that
occur in the AST proper to be FastStrings. Strings in the AST are
typically unique and don't benefit particularly from being interned
FastStrings with Uniques for fast comparison.
`HText` is a type synonym for `ShortText` which uses GHC's Modified
UTF-8 encoding exclusively.
Modified UTF-8 must be used to represent the Haskell AST because the
Haskell Report allows surrogate code points. `Data.Text.Text` functions
use Standard UTF-8 which replace surrogates with a placeholder value,
thus `Data.Text.Text` is unsuitable for AST strings. See the
`Language.Haskell.Syntax.Text` module header for more details.

Also refactor compare_outputs to return essentially a `Maybe Diff`

hadrian: fix HLS support
This patch fixes hadrian's HLS support so one can rely on HLS when
working on the hadrian codebase. Fixes #27480.
Not building/linking shared libraries for hadrian is a severely
premature optimization; this top-level setting in `cabal.project` only
affects home packages while the dependencies in the cabal store are
built with vanilla/dynamic anyway, and even adding dynamic builds to
home packages would not be costly due to cabal's usage of
`-dynamic-too`.

testsuite: fix bytecodeIPE test under +ipe flavours
This patch fixes the bytecodeIPE test under +ipe flavours. It used to
fail under +ipe because the RTS is built with IPE info, then
stg_AP_info in RTS carries IPE info, so whereFrom wouldn't return
Nothing. Now the test checks IPE info of a datacon in the ghci-loaded
module which is not affected by whether the RTS is built with IPE info
or not. Fixes #27498.

rts: fix missing UNTAG in stg_readTVarIOzh
This patch fixes missing UNTAG on the current value closure read from
StgTVar. UNTAG is a no-op when it's stg_TREC_HEADER_info which is word
aligned; it may be a tagged closure, and reading info table from the
tagged address is an unaligned load which may cause issues on
platforms with strict alignment requirements.

rts: fix missing UNTAG in stg_control0zh_ll
This patch fixes missing UNTAG on the cont closure returned by
captureContinuationAndAbort. In case it's not NULL,
captureContinuationAndAbort returns a tagged StgContinuation closure,
in which case it must be untagged before accessing the
apply_mask_frame field.
In the past it worked out of luck: when apply_mask_frame was NULL then
mask_frame_offset is also 0 so the control flow didn't diverge to a
wrong path. Still, this is horribly wrong and will crash once
StgContinuation struct is refactored and fields are shuffled around.

compiler: fix redundant AP thunk codegen when not using -ticky-ap-thunk
This patch fixes a double negation confusion in !7525 that results in
some redundant AP thunk code generation when not using
-ticky-ap-thunk. Now, we use `stgToCmmUseStdApThunk` to indicate
whether precomputed AP thunks in the RTS should be used, which
defaults to `True`, unless `-ticky-ap-thunk` is passed.
`-finfo-table-map` now also implies `-ticky-ap-thunk`, since when
doing IPE profiling we want the generated AP thunks to be unique.
Fixes #27502.

base: Display ExceptionContext in WhileHandling's textual description
As originally-implemented the implementation for
`WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` would display the
`ExceptionContext` of the exception which it carries (as this was the
behavior of `displayException`, in terms of which
`displayExceptionAnnotation` was implemented).
However, in 284ffab3 the definition of `SomeException(displayException)`
was changed to exclude the `ExceptionContext`. This means that
`WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` fails to describe the
provenance of the exception which it captures, greatly limiting its
utility.
Return the implementation to its originally-specified behavior by
implementing `WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` in terms of
`displayExceptionWithInfo`.
Fixes #27456.

Fix failing test GcStaticPointers for non-moving GC
Minor mistake in asserting something before checking for that same
thing.
Specifically, Bdescr asserts HEAP_ALLOCED_GC, but Bdescr was being used
prior to a guard that checks HEAP_ALLOCED_GC. The solution is just to
move the use of Bdescr after the guard.

Eliminate STM_AWOKEN
It was used as nullary closure for the block_info.closure in the case of
a thread being awoken after an STM transaction.
However, while it was written, it was never read, so contributed nothing
to the behaviour. Furthermore, in the only place it was set (in
tryWakeupThread) the why_blocked was immediately overwritten by the
NotBlocked status, and the block_info was updated accordingly (by
appendToRunQueue).
So it didn't even serve a purpose of clarifying an intermediate state,
there really was no such intermediate state.
Cleaning this up will allow the BlockedOnSTM case to follow the same
pattern as the other why_blocked cases that do not use the block_info,
and in turn this reduces the number of different categories.

Add a proper mapping to eventlog external thread stop status
That is the mapping from rts-internal codes, to the coes used in the
status field in the eventlog EVENT_STOP_THREAD event.
See issue #9003 for what goes wrong when we mess this up. In that
ticket, people note that we should really not require the internal
tso->why_blocked codes to leak into the external eventlog thread stop
codes. The same principle applies to the StgThreadReturnCode.
This change properly separates them, and explicitly maps between them
using a pair of (compact, constant) tables. These tables are pretty
small (with no alignment constraints) and will soon shrink so it seems
a sensible tradeoff.
We also introduce and use proper EVENT_STOP_THREAD constants in the
event log format header. Previously there was not specification in the
code for these (only in the docs): the values were encoded into the
conversion code.
This will allow us to renumber the internal why_blockd codes without
breaking the eventlog output.

The plan is that when we know what case we're in (via tso->why_blocked)

need to access block_info.closure for generic cases where we don't know

Avoid storing to tso->block_info.closure
In one case we can use a specific union member (.prev) instead. In
several cases the stores were in fact redundant because of subsequent
overwrites.
In scavengeTSO we replace setting tso->block_info.closure to a valid
closure, with an assertion that the block_info.unused is already set to
END_TSO_QUEUE which is a valid (static) closure.

Renumber the tso->why_blocked constants
We can do this now because we have separated the internal values from

encoding.

Define constants for the existing stg_threadStatuszh return codes
The stg_threadStatuszh reuses the internal tso->why_blocked codes but
also extends them with a couple previously magic values. This is awkward
since we need to know what those magic values are so we don't
accidentally use those values to mean something else. By pulling a
definition up to where the why_blocked codes are defined we will be able
to avoid mistakenly assining those codes some meaning (or just changing
the BlockedThreadComplete, BlockedThreadKilled code if necessary).

Extend the tso->why_blocked encoding to indicate block_info closures
We use some bit tricks to cheaply and generically test if a
tso->why_blocked tag implies that the corresponding tso->block_info will
contain a non-trivial valid closure (i.e. not just block_info.unused set
to END_TSO_QUEUE).
In particular we arrange for most why_blocked values to naturally have a
distinguishing bit, but for the BlockedOn{Read,Write,Delay} cases, they
can come in either non-closure or closure forms. We allow an additional
bit to distinguish these cases. The non-closure forms are only from
legacy I/O managers: select and win32-legacy. So this extra bit
mechanism will be able to be retired once the legacy I/O managers are
themselves retired.
This means in a few places we need to untag the why_blocked value before
inspecting it, but in most places we do not.

Enforce the why_blocked and block_info rules in checkTSO
We now check the cases wher IsBlockInfoClosure should hold, the cases
that are supposed to use block_info.unused == END_TSO_QUEUE, and which
cases are allowed to use BlockInfoForceNonClosure.
This partially enforces the use of why_blocked as a tag for the
block_info union. We could be stricter and check for the correct
expected info table for the closure cases.

Use IsBlockInfoClosure to simplify several tests
In GC and generic traversal we need to know if we should look at the
block_info.closure or not. Now we can do just that using a cheap bit
test on the why_blocked tag.
This fixes issue 26717, where the problem was that some GC modes did not
know when to look at block_info.closure, because the poll I/O manager
uses a closure for BlockedOn{Read,Write} while the select I/O manager
uses a non-closure. Now this information is in the why_blocked tag
itself.

Follow atomic access rules more consistently for tso->why_blocked
The rule is this:
store block_info *before* why_blocked
store why_blocked using store release
load why_blocked using load acquire
load block_info *after* why_blocked
This is a an atomic store release / load acquire pair and (if the reads
are in a separate thread to the writes, and the read receives the value
stored) then this guarantees a full "happens before" relationship of
these stores and loads.
In some cases, we do not need a full load acquire, because we don't read
the block_info at all and so do not need any ordering. In this case we
just need an atomic relaxed load.
This was being followed in most places, but not all. If there's good
reason in any case that we don't need atomic access, then we should
document that in a comment. In the absence of that I think it's easier
to follow the rule everywhere.
