5dfcc78af479937ba8dafceefd9b1931a88dfaaf 11-Aug-2012 Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@gmail.com> hardening: eliminate all text relocations from lidbvm

This patch consists of:
- changes to mterp/ that turn all literals from absolute
to PC relative, so the relocations can be resolved at
(build) link time
- changes to compiler/template/ that result in the
compiler templates to live in the non-executable
.data.rel.ro section (this code is never executed
directly, only from the jit heap, so there is no
reason to put it in the .text section)

Moved the suspend count variables from the interpBreak structure. These
are already protected by a mutex, and we need the space in interpBreak
for additional subMode flags. This CL just does the move and expands
the width of subMode to 16-bits.

99e3e6e72e3471eb85fc2e405866392b01c080fe 29-Mar-2011 buzbee <buzbee@google.com> Fix interpreter debug attach

Fix a few miscellaneous bugs from the interpreter restructuring that were
causing a segfault on debugger attach.

Added a sanity checking routine for debugging.

Fixed a problem in which the JIT's threshold and on/off switch
wouldn't get initialized properly on thread creation.

Renamed dvmCompilerStateRefresh() to dvmCompilerUpdateGlobalState() to
better reflect its function.

9a3147c7412f4794434b4c2604aa2ba784867774 03-Mar-2011 buzbee <buzbee@google.com> Interpreter restructuring

This is a restructuring of the Dalvik ARM and x86 interpreters:

o Combine the old portstd and portdbg interpreters into a single
portable interpreter.
o Add debug/profiling support to the fast (mterp) interpreters.
o Delete old mechansim of switching between interpreters. Now, once
you choose an interpreter at startup, you stick with it.
o Allow JIT to co-exist with profiling & debugging (necessary for
first-class support of debugging with the JIT active).
o Adds single-step capability to the fast assembly interpreters without
slowing them down (and, in fact, measurably improves their performance).
o Remove old "polling for safe point" mechanism. Breakouts now achieved
via modifying base of interpreter handler table.
o Simplify interpeter control mechanism.
o Allow thread-granularity control for profiling & debugging

The primary motivation behind this change was to improve the responsiveness
of debugging and profiling and to make it easier to add new debugging and
profiling capabilities in the future. Instead of always bailing out to the
slow debug portable interpreter, we can now stay in the fast interpreter.

A nice side effect of the change is that the fast interpreters
got a healthy speed boost because we were able to replace the
polling safepoint check that involved a dozen or so instructions
with a single table-base reload. When combined with the two earlier CLs
related to this restructuring, we show a 5.6% performance improvement
using libdvm_interp.so on the Checkers benchmark relative to Honeycomb.

9f601a917c8878204482c37aec7005054b6776fa 12-Feb-2011 buzbee <buzbee@google.com> Interpreter restructuring: eliminate InterpState

The key datastructure for the interpreter is InterpState.
This change eliminates it, merging its data with the Thread structure.

Here's why:

In principio creavit Fadden Thread et InterpState. And it was good.

Thread holds thread-private state, while InterpState captures data
associated with a Dalvik interpreter activation. Because JNI calls
can result in nested interpreter invocations, we can have more than one
InterpState for each actual thread. InterpState was relatively small,
and it all worked well. It was used enough that in the Arm version
a register (rGLUE) was dedicated to it.

Then, along came the JIT guys, who saw InterpState as a convenient place
to dump all sorts of useful data that they wanted quick access to through
that dedicated register. InterpState grew and grew. In terms of
space, this wasn't a big problem - but it did mean that the initialization
cost of each interpreter activation grew as well. For applications
that do a lot of callbacks from native code into Dalvik, this is
measurable. It's also mostly useless cost because much of the JIT-related
InterpState initialization was setting up useful constants - things that
don't need to be saved and restored all the time.

The biggest problem, though, deals with thread control. When something
interesting is happening that needs all threads to be stopped (such as
GC and debugger attach), we have access to all of the Thread structures,
but we don't have access to all of the InterpState structures (which
may be buried/nested on the native stack). As a result, polling for
thread suspension is done via a one-indirection pointer chase. InterpState
itself can't hold the stop bits because we can't always find it, so
instead it holds a pointer to the global or thread-specific stop control.

Yuck.

With this change, we eliminate InterpState and merge all needed data
into Thread. Further, we replace the decidated rGLUE register with a
pointer to the Thread structure (rSELF). The small subset of state
data that needs to be saved and restored across nested interpreter
activations is collected into a record that is saved to the interpreter
frame, and restored on exit. Further, these small records are linked
together to allow tracebacks to show nested activations. Old InterpState
variables that simply contain useful constants are initialized once at
thread creation time.

This CL is large enough by itself that the new ability to streamline
suspend checks is not done here - that will happen in a future CL. Here
we just focus on consolidation.

18fba346582c08d81aa96d9508c0e935bad5f36f 20-Jan-2011 buzbee <buzbee@google.com> Support traceview-style profiling in all builds

This change builds on an earlier bccheng change that allowed JIT'd code
to avoid reverting to the debug portable interpeter when doing traceview-style
method profiling. That CL introduced a new traceview build (libdvm_traceview)
because the performance delta was too great to enable the capability for
all builds.

In this CL, we remove the libdvm_traceview build and provide full-speed
method tracing in all builds. This is done by introducing "_PROF"
versions of invoke and return templates used by the JIT. Normally, these
templates are not used, and performace in unaffected. However, when method
profiling is enabled, all existing translation are purged and new translations
are created using the _PROF templates. These templates introduce a
smallish performance penalty above and beyond the actual tracing cost, but
again are only used when tracing has been enabled.

Strictly speaking, there is a slight burden that is placed on invokes and
returns in the non-tracing case - on the order of an additional 3 or 4
cycles per invoke/return. Those operations are already heavyweight enough
that I was unable to measure the added cost in benchmarks.

2e152baec01433de9c63633ebc6f4adf1cea3a87 16-Dec-2010 buzbee <buzbee@google.com> [JIT] Trace profiling support

In preparation for method compilation, this CL causes all traces to
include two entry points: profiling and non-profiling. For now, the
profiling entry will only be used if dalvik is run with -Xjitprofile,
and largely works like it did before. The difference is that profiling
support no longer requires the "assert" build - it's always there now.

This will enable us to do a form of sampling profiling of
traces in order to identify hot methods or hot trace groups,
while keeping the overhead low by only switching profiling on periodically.

To turn the periodic profiling on and off, we simply unchain all existing
translations and set the appropriate global profile state. The underlying
translation lookup and chaining utilties will examine the profile state to
determine which entry point to use (i.e. - profiling or non-profiling) while
the traces naturally rechain during further execution.

5cc61d70ec727aa22f58463bf7940cc717cf3eb1 31-Aug-2010 Ben Cheng <bccheng@android.com> Collect method traces with the fast interpreter and the JIT'ed code.

Insert inline code instead of switching to the debug interpreter in the hope
that the time stamps collected in traceview are more close to the real
world behavior with minimal profiling overhead.

Because the inline polling still introduces additional overhead (20% ~ 100%),
it is only enabled in the special VM build called "libdvm_traceview.so".
It won't work on the emulator because it is not implemented to collect the
detailed instruction traces.

Here are some performance numbers using the FibonacciSlow microbenchmark
(ie recursive workloads / the shorter the faster):

time: configuration
8,162,602: profiling off/libdvm.so/JIT off
2,801,829: profiling off/libdvm.so/JIT on
9,952,236: profiling off/libdvm_traceview.so/JIT off
4,465,701: profiling off/libdvm_traceview.so/JIT on
164,786,585: profiling on/libdvm.so/JIT off
164,664,634: profiling on/libdvm.so/JIT on
11,231,707: profiling on/libdvm_traceview.so/JIT off
8,427,846: profiling on/libdvm_traceview.so/JIT on

Comparing the 8,427,846 vs 164,664,634 numbers againt the true baseline
performance number of 2,801,829, the new libdvm_traceview.so improves the time
skew from 58x to 3x.

Changes include:
1) Force the trace that ends with an invoke instruction to include
the next instruction if it is a move-result (because both need
to be turned into no-ops if callee is inlined).
2) Interpreter entry point/trace builder changes so that return
target won't automatically be considered as trace starting points
(to avoid duplicate traces that include the move result
instructions).
3) Codegen changes to handle getters/setters invoked from both
monomorphic and polymorphic callsites.
4) Extend/fix self-verification to form identical trace regions and
handle traces with inlined callees.
5) Apply touchups to the method based parsing - still not in use.

bd0472480c6e876198fe19c4ffa22350c0ce57da 13-May-2010 Bill Buzbee <buzbee@google.com> JIT: Fix for [Issue 2675245] FRF40 monkey crash in jit-cache

The JIT's chaining mechanism suffered from a narrow window that
could result in i-cache inconsistency. One of the forms of chaining
cell consisted of a two 16-bit thumb instruction sequence. If a thread were
interrupted between the execution of those two instructions *and*
another thread picked that moment to convert that cell's
chained/unchained state, then bad things happen.

This CL alters the chain/unchain model somewhat to avoid this case.
Chainable chaining cells grow by 4 bytes each, and instead of rewriting
a 32-bit cell to chain/unchain, we switch between chained and unchained
state by [re]writing the first 16-bits of the cell as either a 16-bit
Thumb unconditional branch (unchained mode) or the first half of a
32-bit Thumb branch. The 2nd 16-bits of the cell will never change once
the cell moves from its inital state - thus avoiding the possibility of it
becoming inconsistent.

This adds a trivial execution penalty on the slow path, but will add
about a kByte of memory usage to a typical process.

24ac537cf8d214f7f1bcb07aace429521247d1eb 16-Dec-2009 Ben Cheng <bccheng@google.com> Move VFP register save/restore routines from template to codegen.

Code in the template directory will occupy space in the code cache and is
invoked from JIT'ed code. Since these routines are only invoked from statically
compiled functions we can move them to the codegen directory which also has
arch-variant configurations.

4c0dedfd9006daee4f6d96482cc6ac94a1797880 16-Nov-2009 Bill Buzbee <buzbee@google.com> Jit: string's compareTo performance improvement.

Changed compareTo handler to call __memcmp16() for strings >= 32 chars.
However, even for those strings, the first two chars are done in the
handler (to catch early-out cases).

Comparisons were done with micro-benchmarks comparing 10 and 200-char
strings.

The strings were:
equal -> Q
not equal at start -> S
not equal at end -> E

The test configurations were handler (H) [the previous handler], subroutine (S)
[memcmp16()} and blended (B) [this commit]

H S B
10E 60 138 65
10S 32 70 30
10Q 9 9 9
100E 745 708 716

In short, the small string cases were twice as fast with the existing
handler compared to memcmp16, but memcmp16 was ~5% faster for long
strings.

Note to self: Units tests are much more effective when the test main actually
calls them.

9a8c75adb2abf551d06dbf757bff558c1feded08 08-Nov-2009 Bill Buzbee <buzbee@google.com> Introduce "just interpret" chainable pseudo-translation.

This is the first step towards enabling translation & self-cosim stress modes.
When trace selection begins, the trace head address is pinned and
remains in a limbo state until the translation is complete. Previously,
if the trace selected aborted for any reason, the trace head would remain
forever in limbo. This was not a correctness problem, but caused some
small performance anomolies and made life more difficult for self-cosimulation
mode.

This CL introduces a pseudo-translation that simply routes control to
the interpreter. When we detect that a trace selection attempt has
failed, the trace head is associated with this fully-chainable
pseudo-translation. This also has the benefit for self-cosimulation that
we are guaranteed forward progress.

Direct usage of registers abstracted out.
Live values tracked locally. Redundant loads and stores suppressed.
Address of registers and register pairs unified w/ single "location" mechanism
Register types inferred using existing dataflow analysis pass.
Interim (i.e. Hack) mechanism for storing register liveness info. Rewrite TBD.
Stubbed-out code for linear scan allocation (for loop and long traces)
Moved optimistic lock check for monitor-enter/exit inline for Thumb2
Minor restructuring, renaming and general cleanup of codegen
Renaming of enums to follow coding convention
Formatting fixes introduced by the enum renaming

Rewrite of RallocUtil.c and addition of linear scan to come in stage 2.

d5ab726b65d7271be261864c7e224fb90bfe06e0 25-Aug-2009 Andy McFadden <fadden@android.com> Another round of scary indirect ref changes.

This change adds a not-really-working implementation to Jni.c, with
various changes #ifdefed throughout the code. The ifdef is currently
disabled, so the old behavior should continue. Eventually the old
version will be stripped out and the ifdefs removed.

This renames the stack's "localRefTop" field, which nudged a bunch of
code. The name wasn't really right before (it's the *bottom* of the
local references), and it's even less right now. This and one other
mterp-visible constant were changed, which caused some ripples through
mterp and the JIT, but the ifdeffing was limited to one in
asm-constants.h (and the constant is the same both ways, so toggling the
ifdef won't require rebuilding asm sources).

Some comments and arg names in ReferenceTable were updated for the
correct orientation of bottom vs. top.

Some adjustments were made to the JNI code, e.g. dvmCallMethod now needs
to understand if it needs to convert reference arguments from
local/global refs to pointers (it's called from various places
throughout the VM).
