The pretty confusing "buffer.h" was in fact not the place to look for
the definition of "struct buffer" but the one responsible for dynamic
buffer allocation. As such it defines the struct buffer_wait and the
few functions to allocate a buffer or wait for one.
This patch moves it renaming it to dynbuf.h. The type definition was
moved to its own file since it's included in a number of other structs.
Doing this cleanup revealed that a significant number of files used to
rely on this one to inherit struct buffer through it but didn't need
anything from this file at all.
This moves types/activity.h to haproxy/activity-t.h and
proto/activity.h to haproxy/activity.h.
The macros defining the bit field values for the profiling variable
were moved to the type file to be more future-proof.
Now the file is ready to be stored into its final destination. A few
minor reorderings were performed to keep the file properly organized,
making the various sections more visible (cache & lockless).
In addition and to stay consistent, memory.c was renamed to pool.c.
Till now the local pool caches were implemented only when lockless pools
were in use. This was mainly due to the difficulties to disentangle the
code parts. However the locked pools would further benefit from the local
cache, and having this would reduce the variants in the code.
This patch does just this. It adds a new debug macro DEBUG_NO_LOCAL_POOLS
to forcefully disable local pool caches, and makes sure that the high
level functions are now strictly the same between locked and lockless
(pool_alloc(), pool_alloc_dirty(), pool_free(), pool_get_first()). The
pool index calculation was moved inside the CONFIG_HAP_LOCAL_POOLS guards.
This allowed to move them out of the giant #ifdef and to significantly
reduce the code duplication.
A quick perf test shows that with locked pools the performance increases
by roughly 10% on 8 threads and gets closer to the lockless one.
The memory.h file is particularly complex due to the combination of
debugging options. This patch extracts the OS-level interface and
places it into a new file: pool-os.h.
Doing this also moves pool_alloc_area() and pool_free_area() out of
the #ifndef CONFIG_HAP_LOCKLESS_POOLS, making them usable from
__pool_refill_alloc(), pool_free(), pool_flush() and pool_gc() instead
of having direct calls to malloc/free there that are hard to wrap for
debugging purposes.
This is the beginning of the move and cleanup of memory.h. This first
step only extracts type definitions and basic macros that are needed
by the files which reference a pool. They're moved to pool-t.h (since
"pool" is more obvious than "memory" when looking for pool-related
stuff). 3 files which didn't need to include the whole memory.h were
updated.
types/freq_ctr.h was moved to haproxy/freq_ctr-t.h and proto/freq_ctr.h
was moved to haproxy/freq_ctr.h. Files were updated accordingly, no other
change was applied.
There are quite a number of integer manipulation functions defined in
standard.h, which is one of the reasons why standard.h is included from
many places and participates to the dependencies loop.
Let's just have a new file, intops.h to place all these operations.
These are a few bitops, 32/64 bit mul/div/rotate, integer parsing and
encoding (including varints), the full avalanche hash function, and
the my_htonll/my_ntohll functions.
For now no new C file was created for these yet.
This one is included almost everywhere and used to rely on a few other
.h that are not needed (unistd, stdlib, standard.h). It could possibly
make sense to split it into multiple parts to distinguish operations
performed on timers and the internal time accounting, but at this point
it does not appear much important.
This splits the hathreads.h file into types+macros and functions. Given
that most users of this file used to include it only to get the definition
of THREAD_LOCAL and MAXTHREADS, the bare minimum was placed into thread-t.h
(i.e. types and macros).
All the thread management was left to haproxy/thread.h. It's worth noting
the drop of the trailing "s" in the name, to remove the permanent confusion
that arises between this one and the system implementation (no "s") and the
makefile's option (no "s").
For consistency, src/hathreads.c was also renamed thread.c.
A number of files were updated to only include thread-t which is the one
they really needed.
Some future improvements are possible like replacing empty inlined
functions with macros for the thread-less case, as building at -O0 disables
inlining and causes these ones to be emitted. But this really is cosmetic.
The hathreads.h file has quickly become a total mess because it contains
thread definitions, atomic operations and locking operations, all this for
multiple combinations of threads, debugging and architectures, and all this
done with random ordering!
This first patch extracts all the atomic ops code from hathreads.h to move
it to haproxy/atomic.h. The code there still contains several sections
based on non-thread vs thread, and GCC versions in the latter case. Each
section was arranged in the exact same order to ease finding.
The redundant HA_BARRIER() which was the same as __ha_compiler_barrier()
was dropped in favor of the latter which follows the naming convention
of all other barriers. It was only used in freq_ctr.c which was updated.
Additionally, __ha_compiler_barrier() was defined inconditionally but
used only for thread-related operations, so it was made thread-only like
HA_BARRIER() used to be. We'd still need to have two types of compiler
barriers, one for the general case (e.g. signals) and another one for
concurrency, but this was not addressed here.
Some comments were added at the beginning of each section to inform about
the use case and warn about the traps to avoid.
Some files which continue to include hathreads.h solely for atomic ops
should now be updated.
Half of the users of this include only need the type definitions and
not the manipulation macros nor the inline functions. Moves the various
types into mini-clist-t.h makes the files cleaner. The other one had all
its includes grouped at the top. A few files continued to reference it
without using it and were cleaned.
In addition it was about time that we'd rename that file, it's not
"mini" anymore and contains a bit more than just circular lists.
File buf.h is one common cause of pain in the dependencies. Many files in
the code need it to get the struct buffer definition, and a few also need
the inlined functions to manipulate a buffer, but the file used to depend
on a long chain only for BUG_ON() (addressed by last commit).
Now buf.h is split into buf-t.h which only contains the type definitions,
and buf.h for all inlined functions. Callers who don't care can continue
to use buf.h but files in types/ must only use buf-t.h. sys/types.h had
to be added to buf.h to get ssize_t as used by b_move(). It's worth noting
that ssize_t is only supposed to be a size_t supporting -1, so b_move()
ought to be rethought regarding this.
The files were moved to haproxy/ and all their users were updated
accordingly. A dependency issue was addressed on fcgi whose C file didn't
include buf.h.
This one was introduced 5 years ago for debugging and never really used.
It is the one which used to cause circular dependencies issues. Let's drop
it instead of starting to split the debug include in two.
This one used to be stored into debug.h but the debug tools got larger
and require a lot of other includes, which can't use BUG_ON() anymore
because of this. It does not make sense and instead this macro should
be placed into the lower includes and given its omnipresence, the best
solution is to create a new bug.h with the few surrounding macros needed
to trigger bugs and place assertions anywhere.
Another benefit is that it won't be required to add include <debug.h>
anymore to use BUG_ON, it will automatically be covered by api.h. No
less than 32 occurrences were dropped.
The FSM_PRINTF macro was dropped since not used at all anymore (probably
since 1.6 or so).
This file is to openssl what compat.h is to the libc, so it makes sense
to move it to haproxy/. It could almost be part of api.h but given the
amount of openssl stuff that gets loaded I fear it could increase the
build time.
Note that this file contains lots of inlined functions. But since it
does not depend on anything else in haproxy, it remains safe to keep
all that together.
This file includes everything that must be guaranteed to be available to
any buildable file in the project (including the contrib/ subdirs). For
now it includes <haproxy/api-t.h> so that standard integer types and
compiler macros are known, <common/initcall.h> to ease dynamic registration
of init functions, and <common/tools.h> for a few MIN/MAX macros.
version.h should probably also be added, though at the moment it doesn't
bring a great value.
All files which currently include the ones above should now switch to
haproxy/api.h or haproxy/api-t.h instead. This should also reduce build
time by having a single guard for several files at once.
This file is at the lowest level of the include tree. Its purpose is to
make sure that common types are known pretty much everywhere, particularly
in structure declarations. It will essentially cover integer types such as
uintXX_t via inttypes.h, "size_t" and "ptrdiff_t" via stddef.h, and various
type modifiers such as __maybe_unused or ALIGN() via compiler.h, compat.h
and defaults.h.
It could be enhanced later if required, for example if some macros used
to compute array sizes are needed.
The files are now stored under :
- include/haproxy for the generic includes
- include/types.h for the structures needed within prototypes
- include/proto.h for function prototypes and inline functions
- src/*.c for the C files
Most include files are now covered by LGPL. A last move still needs
to be done to put inline functions under GPL and not LGPL.
Version has been set to 1.3.0 in the code but some control still
needs to be done before releasing.
