|
|
|
11 |
|
|
This module implements a single feature only of interest to advanced perl |
12 |
root |
1.4 |
modules, namely asynchronous interruptions (think "UNIX signals", which |
13 |
root |
1.1 |
are very similar). |
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
root |
1.8 |
Sometimes, modules wish to run code asynchronously (in another thread, |
16 |
|
|
or from a signal handler), and then signal the perl interpreter on |
17 |
|
|
certain events. One common way is to write some data to a pipe and use an |
18 |
|
|
event handling toolkit to watch for I/O events. Another way is to send |
19 |
|
|
a signal. Those methods are slow, and in the case of a pipe, also not |
20 |
|
|
asynchronous - it won't interrupt a running perl interpreter. |
21 |
root |
1.1 |
|
22 |
|
|
This module implements asynchronous notifications that enable you to |
23 |
root |
1.8 |
signal running perl code from another thread, asynchronously, and |
24 |
|
|
sometimes even without using a single syscall. |

=item Race-free signal handling |
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
There seems to be no way to do race-free signal handling in perl: to |
33 |
|
|
catch a signal, you have to execute Perl code, and between entering the |
34 |
|
|
interpreter C<select> function (or other blocking functions) and executing |
35 |
|
|
the select syscall is a small but relevant timespan during which signals |
36 |
|
|
will be queued, but perl signal handlers will not be executed and the |
37 |
|
|
blocking syscall will not be interrupted. |
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
You can use this module to bind a signal to a callback while at the same |
40 |
|
|
time activating an event pipe that you can C<select> on, fixing the race |
41 |
|
|
completely. |
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
This can be used to implement the signal hadling in event loops, |
44 |
|
|
e.g. L<AnyEvent>, L<POE>, L<IO::Async::Loop> and so on. |
45 |
|
|

|
=item Background threads want speedy reporting |
47 |
|
|
|
48 |
|
|
Assume you want very exact timing, and you can spare an extra cpu core |
49 |
|
|
for that. Then you can run an extra thread that signals your perl |
50 |
|
|
interpreter. This means you can get a very exact timing source while your |
51 |
|
|
perl code is number crunching, without even using a syscall to communicate |
52 |
|
|
between your threads. |
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
|
|
For example the deliantra game server uses a variant of this technique |
55 |
|
|
to interrupt background processes regularly to send map updates to game |
56 |
|
|
clients. |

Or L<EV::Loop::Async> uses an interrupt object to wake up perl when new |
59 |
|
|
events have arrived. |
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
root |
1.8 |
L<IO::AIO> and L<BDB> could also use this to speed up result reporting. |
62 |

|

|
=item Speedy event loop invocation |
64 |
|
|
|
65 |
|
|
One could use this module e.g. in L<Coro> to interrupt a running coro-thread |
66 |
|
|
and cause it to enter the event loop. |
67 |
|
|
|
68 |
|
|
Or one could bind to C<SIGIO> and tell some important sockets to send this |
69 |
|
|
signal, causing the event loop to be entered to reduce network latency. |

=head2 HOW TO USE |
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
|
|
You can use this module by creating an C<Async::Interrupt> object for each |
76 |
|
|
such event source. This object stores a perl and/or a C-level callback |
77 |
|
|
that is invoked when the C<Async::Interrupt> object gets signalled. It is |
78 |
|
|
executed at the next time the perl interpreter is running (i.e. it will |
79 |
|
|
interrupt a computation, but not an XS function or a syscall). |
80 |
root |
1.2 |
|
81 |
|
|
You can signal the C<Async::Interrupt> object either by calling it's C<< |
82 |
root |
1.8 |
->signal >> method, or, more commonly, by calling a C function. There is |
83 |
|
|
also the built-in (POSIX) signal source. |
84 |
root |
1.2 |
|
85 |
|
|
The C<< ->signal_func >> returns the address of the C function that is to |
86 |
|
|
be called (plus an argument to be used during the call). The signalling |
87 |
|
|
function also takes an integer argument in the range SIG_ATOMIC_MIN to |
88 |
|
|
SIG_ATOMIC_MAX (guaranteed to allow at least 0..127). |
89 |
|
|
|
90 |
|
|
Since this kind of interruption is fast, but can only interrupt a |
91 |
root |
1.8 |
I<running> interpreter, there is optional support for signalling a pipe |
92 |
|
|
- that means you can also wait for the pipe to become readable (e.g. via |
93 |
|
|
L<EV> or L<AnyEvent>). This, of course, incurs the overhead of a C<read> |
94 |
|
|
and C<write> syscall. |

|
121 |
|
|
Creates a new Async::Interrupt object. You may only use async |
122 |
|
|
notifications on this object while it exists, so you need to keep a |
123 |
|
|
reference to it at all times while it is used. |
124 |

=item cb => $coderef->($value) |
131 |
|
|
|
132 |
|
|
Registers a perl callback to be invoked whenever the async interrupt is |
133 |
|
|
signalled. |
134 |
|
|
|
135 |
|
|
Note that, since this callback can be invoked at basically any time, it |
136 |
root |
1.2 |
must not modify any well-known global variables such as C<$/> without |
137 |
|
|
restoring them again before returning. |
138 |
|
|
|
139 |
|
|
The exceptions are C<$!> and C<$@>, which are saved and restored by |
140 |
|
|
Async::Interrupt. |
141 |
root |
1.1 |
|
142 |
root |
1.2 |
If the callback should throw an exception, then it will be caught, |
143 |
|
|
and C<$Async::Interrupt::DIED> will be called with C<$@> containing |
144 |
|
|
the exception. The default will simply C<warn> about the message and |
145 |
|
|
continue. |
146 |

|
|
=item c_cb => [$c_func, $c_arg] |
148 |
root |
1.1 |
|
149 |
|
|
Registers a C callback the be invoked whenever the async interrupt is |
150 |
|
|
signalled. |
151 |
|
|
|
152 |
|
|
The C callback must have the following prototype: |
153 |
|
|
|
154 |
root |
1.2 |
void c_func (pTHX_ void *c_arg, int value); |
155 |
root |
1.1 |
|
156 |
root |
1.2 |
Both C<$c_func> and C<$c_arg> must be specified as integers/IVs, and |
157 |
|
|
C<$value> is the C<value> passed to some earlier call to either C<$signal> |
158 |
|
|
or the C<signal_func> function. |
159 |
root |
1.1 |
|
160 |
|
|
Note that, because the callback can be invoked at almost any time, you |
161 |
|
|
have to be careful at saving and restoring global variables that Perl |
162 |
root |
1.4 |
might use (the exception is C<errno>, which is saved and restored by |
163 |
root |
1.2 |
Async::Interrupt). The callback itself runs as part of the perl context, |
164 |
|
|
so you can call any perl functions and modify any perl data structures (in |
165 |
root |
1.4 |
which case the requirements set out for C<cb> apply as well). |
166 |
root |
1.1 |
|
167 |
root |
1.13 |
=item var => $scalar_ref |
168 |
|
|
|
169 |
|
|
When specified, then the given argument must be a reference to a |
170 |
root |
1.17 |
scalar. The scalar will be set to C<0> initially. Signalling the interrupt |
171 |
root |
1.13 |
object will set it to the passed value, handling the interrupt will reset |
172 |
|
|
it to C<0> again. |
173 |
|
|
|
174 |
|
|
Note that the only thing you are legally allowed to do is to is to check |
175 |
|
|
the variable in a boolean or integer context (e.g. comparing it with a |
176 |
|
|
string, or printing it, will I<destroy> it and might cause your program to |
177 |
|
|
crash or worse). |

=item signal => $signame_or_value |
180 |
|
|
|
181 |
|
|
When this parameter is specified, then the Async::Interrupt will hook the |
182 |
|
|
given signal, that is, it will effectively call C<< ->signal (0) >> each time |
183 |
|
|
the given signal is caught by the process. |
184 |
|
|
|
185 |
|
|
Only one async can hook a given signal, and the signal will be restored to |
186 |
|
|
defaults when the Async::Interrupt object gets destroyed. |

190 |
root |
1.2 |
Specifies two file descriptors (or file handles) that should be signalled |
191 |
root |
1.1 |
whenever the async interrupt is signalled. This means a single octet will |
192 |
|
|
be written to it, and before the callback is being invoked, it will be |
193 |
|
|
read again. Due to races, it is unlikely but possible that multiple octets |
194 |
root |
1.2 |
are written. It is required that the file handles are both in nonblocking |
195 |
|
|
mode. |
196 |
root |
1.1 |
|
197 |
root |
1.2 |
The object will keep a reference to the file handles. |
198 |
root |
1.1 |
|
199 |
|
|
This can be used to ensure that async notifications will interrupt event |
200 |
|
|
frameworks as well. |
201 |
|
|
|
202 |
root |
1.13 |
Note that C<Async::Interrupt> will create a suitable signal fd |
203 |
|
|
automatically when your program requests one, so you don't have to specify |
204 |
root |
1.16 |
this argument when all you want is an extra file descriptor to watch. |
205 |
|
|
|
206 |
|
|
If you want to share a single event pipe between multiple Async::Interrupt |
207 |
|
|
objects, you can use the C<Async::Interrupt::EventPipe> class to manage |
208 |
|
|
those. |

Returns the address of a function to call asynchronously. The function |
223 |
|
|
has the following prototype and needs to be passed the specified |
224 |
|
|
C<$signal_arg>, which is a C<void *> cast to C<IV>: |
225 |
root |
1.1 |
|
226 |
|
|
void (*signal_func) (void *signal_arg, int value) |
227 |
|
|
|
228 |
|
|
An example call would look like: |
229 |
|
|
|
230 |
|
|
signal_func (signal_arg, 0); |
231 |
|
|
|
232 |
root |
1.2 |
The function is safe to call from within signal and thread contexts, at |
233 |
root |
1.1 |
any time. The specified C<value> is passed to both C and Perl callback. |
234 |
|
|
|
235 |
root |
1.13 |
C<$value> must be in the valid range for a C<sig_atomic_t>, except C<0> |

|
|
(1..127 is portable). |

|
238 |
root |

If the function is called while the Async::Interrupt object is already |
239 |
|
|
signaled but before the callbacks are being executed, then the stored |
240 |
root |
1.2 |
C<value> is either the old or the new one. Due to the asynchronous |
241 |
|
|
nature of the code, the C<value> can even be passed to two consecutive |
242 |
|
|
invocations of the callback. |

|
244 |
root |
1.13 |
=item $address = $async->c_var |
245 |
|
|
|
246 |
|
|
Returns the address (cast to IV) of an C<IV> variable. The variable is set |
247 |
|
|
to C<0> initially and gets set to the passed value whenever the object |
248 |
|
|
gets signalled, and reset to C<0> once the interrupt has been handled. |
249 |
|
|
|
250 |
|
|
Note that it is often beneficial to just call C<PERL_ASYNC_CHECK ()> to |
251 |
|
|
handle any interrupts. |
252 |
|
|
|
253 |
|
|
Example: call some XS function to store the address, then show C code |
254 |
|
|
waiting for it. |

This signals the given async object from Perl code. Semi-obviously, this |
272 |

273 |

root |
1.17 |
=item $async->signal_hysteresis ($enable) |
279 |
|
|
|
280 |
|
|
Enables or disables signal hysteresis (default: disabled). If a POSIX |
281 |
|
|
signal is used as a signal source for the interrupt object, then enabling |
282 |
|
|
signal hysteresis causes Async::Interrupt to reset the signal action to |
283 |
|
|
C<SIG_IGN> in the signal handler and restore it just before handling the |
284 |
|
|
interruption. |
285 |
|
|
|
286 |
|
|
When you expect a lot of signals (e.g. when using SIGIO), then enabling |
287 |
|
|
signal hysteresis can reduce the number of handler invocations |
288 |
|
|
considerably, at the cost of two extra syscalls. |
289 |
|
|
|
290 |
|
|
Note that setting the signal to C<SIG_IGN> can have unintended side |
291 |
|
|
effects when you fork and exec other programs, as often they do nto expect |
292 |
|
|
signals to be ignored by default. |

297 |
|
|
|
298 |
|
|
Sometimes you need a "critical section" of code that will not be |
299 |
|
|
interrupted by an Async::Interrupt. This can be implemented by calling C<< |
300 |
|
|
$async->block >> before the critical section, and C<< $async->unblock >> |
301 |
|
|
afterwards. |
302 |
|
|
|
303 |
root |
1.4 |
Note that there must be exactly one call of C<unblock> for every previous |
304 |
root |
1.3 |
call to C<block> (i.e. calls can nest). |
305 |
|
|
|
306 |
root |
1.4 |
Since ensuring this in the presence of exceptions and threads is |
307 |
root |
1.3 |
usually more difficult than you imagine, I recommend using C<< |
308 |
|
|
$async->scoped_block >> instead. |

|
310 |
root |
1.3 |
=item $async->scope_block |
311 |
|
|
|
312 |
|
|
This call C<< $async->block >> and installs a handler that is called when |
313 |
|
|
the current scope is exited (via an exception, by canceling the Coro |
314 |
|
|
thread, by calling last/goto etc.). |
315 |
|
|
|
316 |
|
|
This is the recommended (and fastest) way to implement critical sections. |

324 |
|
|
C<$block_arg>, which is a C<void *> cast to C<IV>: |
325 |
|
|
|
326 |
|
|
void (*block_func) (void *block_arg) |
327 |
|
|
|
328 |
|
|
An example call would look like: |
329 |
|
|
|
330 |
|
|
block_func (block_arg); |
331 |
|
|
|
332 |
|
|
The function is safe to call only from within the toplevel of a perl XS |
333 |
|
|
function and will call C<LEAVE> and C<ENTER> (in this order!). |

Enable/disable signalling the pipe when the interrupt occurs (default is |
340 |
|
|
enabled). Writing to a pipe is relatively expensive, so it can be disabled |
341 |
|
|
when you know you are not waiting for it (for example, with L<EV> you |
342 |
|
|
could disable the pipe in a check watcher, and enable it in a prepare |

|
watcher). |

Note that currently, while C<pipe_disable> is in effect, no attempt to |

read from the pipe will be done when handling events. This might change as |

Returns the reading side of the signalling pipe. If no signalling pipe is |

currently attached to the object, it will dynamically create one. |

Note that the only valid oepration on this file descriptor is to wait |
355 |
|

until it is readable. The fd might belong currently to a pipe, a tcp |
356 |

socket, or an eventfd, depending on the platform, and is guaranteed to be |
357 |

|
C<select>able. |

Enables (C<1>) or disables (C<0>) automatic draining of the pipe (default: |
362 |
|
|
enabled). When automatic draining is enabled, then Async::Interrupt will |
363 |
|
|
automatically clear the pipe. Otherwise the user is responsible for this |
364 |
|
|
draining. |
365 |
|
|
|
366 |

This is useful when you want to share one pipe among many Async::Interrupt |

|
|
371 |
|

The object will not normally be usable after a fork (as the pipe fd is |
372 |
|
|
shared between processes). Calling this method after a fork in the child |
373 |
|
|
ensures that the object will work as expected again. It only needs to be |
374 |
|
|
called when the async object is used in the child. |
375 |
|
|
|
376 |
|
|
This only works when the pipe was created by Async::Interrupt. |
377 |
|
|
|
378 |
|
|
Async::Interrupt ensures that the reading file descriptor does not change |
379 |
|
|
it's value. |

=head1 THE Async::Interrupt::EventPipe CLASS |
384 |
|
|
|
385 |
|
|
Pipes are the predominent utility to make asynchronous signals |
386 |
|
|
synchronous. However, pipes are hard to come by: they don't exist on the |
387 |
|
|
broken windows platform, and on GNU/Linux systems, you might want to use |
388 |
|
|
an C<eventfd> instead. |
389 |
|
|
|
390 |
|
|
This class creates selectable event pipes in a portable fashion: on |
391 |
|
|
windows, it will try to create a tcp socket pair, on GNU/Linux, it will |
392 |
|
|
try to create an eventfd and everywhere else it will try to use a normal |
393 |
|
|
pipe. |

397 |
|
|
=item $epipe = new Async::Interrupt::EventPipe |
398 |
|
|
|
399 |
|
|
This creates and returns an eventpipe object. This object is simply a |
400 |
|
|
blessed array reference: |
401 |
|
|
|
402 |
|
|
=item ($r_fd, $w_fd) = $epipe->filenos |
403 |
|
|
|
404 |
|
|
Returns the read-side file descriptor and the write-side file descriptor. |
405 |
|
|
|
406 |
|
|
Example: pass an eventpipe object as pipe to the Async::Interrupt |
407 |
|
|
constructor, and create an AnyEvent watcher for the read side. |
408 |
|
|
|
409 |
|
|
my $epipe = new Async::Interrupt::EventPipe; |
410 |
|
|
my $asy = new Async::Interrupt pipe => [$epipe->filenos]; |
411 |
|
|
my $iow = AnyEvent->io (fh => $epipe->fileno, poll => 'r', cb => sub { }); |
412 |
|
|
|
413 |
|
|
=item $r_fd = $epipe->fileno |
414 |
|
|
|
415 |
|
|
Return only the reading/listening side. |
416 |
|
|
|
417 |
|
|
=item $epipe->signal |
418 |
|
|
|
419 |
|
|
Write something to the pipe, in a portable fashion. |
420 |
|
|
|
421 |
|
|
=item $epipe->drain |
422 |
|
|
|
423 |
|
|
Drain (empty) the pipe. |
424 |
|
|
|
425 |
|
|
=item $epipe->renew |
426 |
|
|
|
427 |
|
|
Recreates the pipe (useful after a fork). The reading side will not change |
428 |
|
|
it's file descriptor number, but the writing side might. |

=head1 IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS AND LIMITATIONS |
442 |
|
|
|
443 |
root |
1.8 |
This module works by "hijacking" SIGKILL, which is guaranteed to always |
444 |
|
|
exist, but also cannot be caught, so is always available. |
445 |
root |
1.2 |
|
446 |
root |
1.8 |
Basically, this module fakes the occurance of a SIGKILL signal and |
447 |
|
|
then intercepts the interpreter handling it. This makes normal signal |
448 |
|
|
handling slower (probably unmeasurably, though), but has the advantage |
449 |
|
|
of not requiring a special runops function, nor slowing down normal perl |
450 |
|
|
execution a bit. |
451 |
|
|
|
452 |
root |
1.13 |
It assumes that C<sig_atomic_t>, C<int> and C<IV> are all async-safe to |
453 |
|
|
modify. |
