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.

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.

7a2697d327936e20ef5484f7819e2e4bf91c891f 07-Jun-2010 Ben Cheng <bccheng@android.com> Implement method inlining for getters/setters

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.
