[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

#11744: Latest Xcode update violates POSIX compliance of `nm -P` ----------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: Keywords: | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: ----------------------------------------+--------------------------------- TLDR: Apple messed up again and broke POSIX compliance luite ran into problems when he installed the latest Xcode update because the derived platform constants were off. He provided me the output of `nm -P ./includes/dist- derivedconstants/header/tmp.o` which turned out have numbers which didn't make sense: {{{ _derivedConstantAP_STACK_SPLIM C 1025 0 _derivedConstantBITMAP_BITS_SHIFT C 7 0 _derivedConstantBLOCKS_PER_MBLOCK C 253 0 _derivedConstantBLOCK_SIZE C 4097 0 _derivedConstantCINT_SIZE C 5 0 _derivedConstantCLONG_LONG_SIZE C 9 0 _derivedConstantCLONG_SIZE C 9 0 _derivedConstantDOUBLE_SIZE C 9 0 _derivedConstantDYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT C 2 0 ... }}} Which with an older Xcode version would have looked like {{{ _derivedConstantAP_STACK_SPLIM C 401 0 _derivedConstantBITMAP_BITS_SHIFT C 7 0 _derivedConstantBLOCKS_PER_MBLOCK C fd 0 _derivedConstantBLOCK_SIZE C 1001 0 _derivedConstantCINT_SIZE C 5 0 _derivedConstantCLONG_LONG_SIZE C 9 0 _derivedConstantCLONG_SIZE C 9 0 _derivedConstantDOUBLE_SIZE C 9 0 _derivedConstantDYNAMIC_BY_DEFAULT C 2 0 ... }}} So obviously `nm -P`'s output changed from hexadecimal to (non-compliant) decimal formatting of numbers. For reference, here's how POSIX specifies the semantics of `nm`: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/nm.html > `-P` > Write information in a portable output format, as specified in the STDOUT section. ... > If the `-P` option is specified, the previous information shall be displayed using the following portable format. The three versions differ depending on whether `-t d`, `-t o`, or `-t x` was specified, respectively: > > {{{"%s%s %s %d %d\n", <library/object name>, <name>, <type>, <value>, <size>}}} > > {{{"%s%s %s %o %o\n", <library/object name>, <name>, <type>, <value>, <size>}}} > > {{{"%s%s %s %x %x\n", <library/object name>, <name>, <type>, <value>, <size>}}} In the event that Apple can't be bothered to fix this bug (I've had bad experience with Apple and standard-compliance in the past, hence my pessimism) we could try to workaround by using `nm -P -t x` when building on OSX... -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11744> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

[GHC] #9184: Allow the use of Python 3 when building GHC

#9184: Allow the use of Python 3 when building GHC -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: aspidites | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: python | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: -------------------------------------------+------------------------------- According to the [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Windows wiki], it is preferred that a user have Python 2.7 installed before attempting to build GHC. As I'm on Arch Linux the default Python version is 3.4. As such, rather than simply changing the shebang line to explicitly ask for version 2, I made it so that the scripts all use syntax that works properly for versions 2.7 to 3.4. I don't think I've used anything that disallows 2.6, but don't have that version available to check against. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9184> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
