From the "ARMv8 Instriction Set Overview" document I found (wasn't able to find anything more recent): https://www.element14.com/community/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/41836-… Section 3.6 says "There is no hardware check for “divide by zero”, but this check can be performed in the shadow of a long latency division. A divide by zero writes zero to the destination register." Looks like we need extra code to check for this, but not sure how to report it. Should probably look at what GCC and Clang do. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10332> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

There is already some discussion in ticket #11206 (ARM is generally a disaster), but that ticket is about 32 bit Arm which is vastly different and is now mostly fixed. Information worth saving from #11206: * GHC 7.8.4 from Debian can build the ghc-8.0 branch, but cannot build HEAD because HEAD requires ghc-7.10 to build. * GHC 7.10 from Debian is broken because of an unfixed bug in llvm-3.5.2. * User @mfox reports that ghc-7.10 does build against llvm-3.7 and results in a compiler that can build HEAD. * That GHC 7.10 can be build against llvm-3.7 is a happy accident. Versions of GHC are usually locked to a specific version of LLVM. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11578> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #8224: Excessive system time -- new IO manager problem?

#8224: Excessive system time -- new IO manager problem? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rrnewton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.7 Keywords: IO Manager, | Operating System: Linux System Time | Type of failure: Runtime Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | performance bug Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is an issue that came to light when testing the patches on #910. You can see some of the numbers there. Basically, recent GHC HEAD builds, running a large number of threads blocked on MVars will result in burning a lot of system time. The attached file provides a mediocre reproducer. With it, you can see that building with HEAD as of Aug 31st and running with `-RTS -N32` will result in around 200ms system time, whereas GHC 7.6.3 spends about 30ms in system time. This shows the disparity, but the result is not that egregious. A more noticeable example is on ticket #910, where when running on 31 threads, there is an 8 minutes of system time for 17 minutes of user time, and yet at one thread that system time drops to under two seconds! {{{ 1 thread: real 1m20.028s user 1m17.921s sys 0m1.768s 31 threads: real 1m27.445s user 17m0.314s sys 8m0.175s }}} It needs to be determined whether this system time is a result of the parallel compilation patches on #910, or whether it is a new problem with the runtime system, and in particular with the parallel IO manager. I am inclined to believe that compiling in parallel involves extra IO (repeatedly reading interface files?), but not eight minutes of it!! -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8224> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

These weak pointers are returned in the main function. After that we sleep a second and ask how meany references are alive. I get the {{{0}}} as a result here - so everything seems ok - garbage collection worked. There is a problem though - somehow the memory was not released, because on the second 5-second sleep the program uses over 14 Gb of RAM on my computer. I'm compiling it simply with {{{ghc -O2 Main.hs}}}. I'm pretty sure this is a bug, because such behaviour is not expected I think. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10812> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
