It's not needed to inline it at all (one call per loop) and it introduces
dependencies, let's move it to fd.c.
Removing the few remaining includes that came with it further reduced
by ~0.2% the LoC and the build time is now below 6s.
TV_ETERNITY, TV_ETERNITY_MS and MAX_DELAY_MS may be configured and
ought to be in defaults.h so that they can be inherited from everywhere
without including time.h and could also be redefined if neede
(particularly for MAX_DELAY_MS).
It's pointless to inline this, it's called exactly once per poll loop,
and it depends on time.h which is quite deep. Let's move that to task.c
along with sched_report_idle().
The remaining large functions are those allocating/initializing and
occasionally freeing connections, conn_streams and sockaddr. Let's
move them to connection.c. In fact, cs_free() is the only one-liner
but let's move it along with the other ones since a call will be
small compared to the rest of the work done there.
The following inlined functions are particularly large (and probably not
inlined at all by the compiler), and together represent roughly half of
the file, while they're used at most once per connection. They were moved
to connection.c.
conn_upgrade_mux_fe, conn_install_mux_fe, conn_install_mux_be,
conn_install_mux_chk, conn_delete_from_tree, conn_init, conn_new,
conn_free
No need to include the full tree management code, type files only
need the definitions. Doing so reduces the whole code size by around
3.6% and the build time is down to just 6s.
ebtree is one piece using a lot of inlines and each tree root or node
definition needed by many of our structures requires to parse and
compile all these includes, which is large and painfully slow. Let's
move the very basic definitions to their own file and include it from
ebtree.h.
The following functions are quite heavy and have no reason to be kept
inlined:
srv_release_conn, srv_lookup_conn, srv_lookup_conn_next,
srv_add_to_idle_list
They were moved to server.c. It's worth noting that they're a bit
at the edge between server and connection and that maybe we could
create an idle-conn file for these in the near future.
We do not really need to have them inlined, and having xxhash.h included
by connection.h results in this 4700-lines file being processed 101 times
over the whole project, which accounts for 13.5% of the total size!
Additionally, half of the functions are only needed from connection.c.
Let's move the functions there and get rid of the painful include.
The build time is now down to 6.2s just due to this.
The hash type stored everywhere is XXH64_hash_t, which annoyingly forces
everyone to include the huge xxhash file. We know it's an uint64_t because
that's its purpose and the type is only made to abstract it on machines
where uint64_t is not availble. Let's switch the type to uint64_t
everywhere and avoid including xxhash from the type file.
Plenty of includes were present there only for struct pointers resulting
in them being used from many other places. The LoC reduced again by more
than 1% by cleaning this.
This one is expensive in code size because it comes with xxhash.h at a
low level of dependency that's inherited at plenty of places, and for
a function does doesn't benefit from inlining and could possibly even
benefit from not being inline given that it's large and called from the
scheduler.
Moving it to activity.c reduces the LoC by 1.2% and the binary size by
~1kB.
This function has no reason for being inlined, it's called from non
critical places (once in pollers), is quite large and comes with
dependencies (time and freq_ctr). Let's move it to acitvity.c. That's
another 0.4% less LoC to build.
These are ticks, not timeval, and they're a cause for plenty of files
including time.h just to access now_ms that's only used with ticks
functions. Let's move them over there.
The idle time calculation stuff was moved to task.h by commit 6dfab112e
("REORG: sched: move idle time calculation from time.h to task.h") but
these two variables that are only maintained by task.{c,h} were still
left in time.{c,h}. They have to move as well.
These ones require openssl and are only built when it's enabled. There's
no point keeping them in sample.c when ssl_sample.c already deals with this
and the required includes. This also allows to remove openssl-compat.h
from sample.c and to further reduce the number of inclusions of openssl
includes, and the build time is now down to under 8 seconds.
These two counters were the only ones not in the global struct, while
the SSL freq counters or the req counts are already in it, this forces
stats.c to include ssl_sock just to know about them. Let's move them
over there with their friends. This reduces from 408 to 384 the number
of includes of opensslconf.h.
This one has nothing to do with ssl_sock as it manipulates the struct
server only. Let's move it to server.c and remove unneeded dependencies
on ssl_sock.h. This further reduces by 10% the number of includes of
opensslconf.h and by 0.5% the number of compiled lines.
This one doesn't use anything from an SSL context, it only checks the
type of the transport layer of a connection, thus it belongs to
connection.h. This is particularly visible due to all the ifdefs
around it in various call places.
This is exactly the same as for listeners, servers only include
openssl-compat to provide the SSL_CTX type to use as two pointers to
contexts, and to detect if NPN, ALPN, and cipher suites are supported,
and save up to 5 pointers in the ssl_ctx struct if not supported. This
is pointless, as these ones have all been supported for about a decade,
and including this file comes with a long dependency chain that impacts
lots of other files. The ctx was made a void*.
Now the build time was significantly reduced, from 9.2 to 8.1 seconds,
thanks to opensslconf.h being included "only" 456 times instead of 2424
previously!
The total number of lines of code compiled was reduced by 15%.
Listeners only include openssl-compat to provide the SSL_CTX type to
use as two pointers to contexts, and to detect if NPN, ALPN, and cipher
suites are supported, and save up to 5 pointers in the ssl_bind_conf
struct if not supported. This is pointless, as these ones have all been
supported for about a decade, and including this file comes with a long
dependency chain that impacts lots of other files. The initial_ctx and
default_ctx can perfectly remain void* instead of SSL_CTX*.
These functions have no reason for being inlined, and they require some
includes with long dependencies. Let's move them to listener.c and trim
unused includes in listener.h.
This file includes streams, proxies, Lua just for some definitions of
structures for which we only have a pointer. Let's drop this. That's
responsible for 0.2% of all the lines of code.
The lock-debugging code in thread.h has no reason to be inlined. the
functions are quite fat and perform a lot of operations so there's no
saving keeping them inlined. Worse, most of them are in fact not
inlined, resulting in a significantly bigger executable.
This patch moves all this part from thread.h to thread.c. The functions
are still exported in thread.h of course. This results in ~166kB less
code:
text data bss dec hex filename
3165938 99424 897376 4162738 3f84b2 haproxy-before
2991987 99424 897376 3988787 3cdd33 haproxy-after
In addition the build time with thread debugging enabled has shrunk
from 19.2 to 17.7s thanks to much less code to be parsed in thread.h
that is included virtually everywhere.
pool-os.h relies on a number of includes solely because the
pool_alloc_area() function was inlined, and this only because we want
the normal version to be inlined so that we can track the calling
places for the memory profiler. It's worth noting that it already
does not work at -O0, and that when UAF is enabled we don't care a
dime about profiling.
This patch does two things at once:
- force-inline the functions so that pool_alloc_area() is still
inlined at -O0 to help track malloc() users ;
- uninline the UAF version of these (that rely on mmap/munmap)
and move them to pools.c so that we can remove all unneeded
includes.
Doing so reduces by ~270kB or 0.15% the total build size.
A number of files currently access activity counters but rely on their
definitions to be inherited from other files (task.c, backend.c hlua.c,
sock.c, pool.c, stats.c, fd.c).
backend.c, all muxes, backend.c started manipulating ebmb_nodes with
the introduction of idle conns but the types were inherited through
other includes. Let's add ebmbtree.h there.
These ones are called from a few places in the code and are only provided
by ebtree.h, which is not normal given that some callers do not even use
ebtree.
