    vm*: doubly-linked list from ccan to manage vm->living_threads · f11db2a6
    Eric Wong authored
    A doubly-linked list for tracking living threads guarantees
    constant-time insert/delete performance with no corner cases of a
    hash table.  I chose this ccan implementation of doubly-linked
    lists over the BSD sys/queue.h implementation since:
    
    1) insertion and removal are both branchless
    2) locality is improved if a struct may be a member of multiple lists
       (0002 patch in Feature 9632 will introduce a secondary list
       for waiting FDs)
    
    This also increases cache locality during iteration: improving
    performance in a new IO#close benchmark with many sleeping threads
    while still scanning the same number of threads.
    
    	vm_thread_close 1.762
    
    * vm_core.h (rb_vm_t): list_head and counter for living_threads
      (rb_thread_t): vmlt_node for living_threads linkage
      (rb_vm_living_threads_init): new function wrapper
      (rb_vm_living_threads_insert): ditto
      (rb_vm_living_threads_remove): ditto
    * vm.c (rb_vm_living_threads_foreach): new function wrapper
    * thread.c (terminate_i, thread_start_func_2, thread_create_core,
      thread_fd_close_i, thread_fd_close): update to use new APIs
    * vm.c (vm_mark_each_thread_func, rb_vm_mark, ruby_vm_destruct,
      vm_memsize, vm_init2, Init_VM): ditto
    * vm_trace.c (clear_trace_func_i, rb_clear_trace_func): ditto
    * benchmark/bm_vm_thread_close.rb: added to show improvement
    * ccan/build_assert/build_assert.h: added as a dependency of list.h
    * ccan/check_type/check_type.h: ditto
    * ccan/container_of/container_of.h: ditto
    * ccan/licenses/BSD-MIT: ditto
    * ccan/licenses/CC0: ditto
    * ccan/str/str.h: ditto (stripped of unused macros)
    * ccan/list/list.h: ditto
    * common.mk: add CCAN_LIST_INCLUDES
      [ruby-core:61871][Feature 9632 (part 1)]
    
    Apologies for the size of this commit, but I think a good
    doubly-linked list will be useful for future features, too.
    This may be used to add ordering to a container_of-based hash
    table to preserve compatibility if required (e.g. feature 9614).
