This entrypoint is similar to swift_task_isCurrentExecutor except that it
provides an ABI level option flag that enables one to configure its behavior in
a backwards deployable manner via the option flag.
I used this to expose at the ABI level the ability to check the current executor
without crashing on failure, while preserving the current behavior of
swift_task_isCurrentExecutor (which crashes on failure).
I am going to use this to implement swift_task_runOnMainActor.
It cannot be used for executing general-purpose work, because such function would need to have a different signature to pass isolated actor instance.
And being explicit about using this method only for deinit allows to use object pointer for comparison with executor identity.
The current type elaboration does not match the elaborated type as
defined. This causes a warning. Prefer to use the unelaborated type to
avoid having to synchronise the declaration and definition.
This patch adds an SPI to run the first partial function of a MainActor
asynchronous function on the MainActor synchronously. This is
effectively like the asynchronous program entrypoint behavior. The first
partial function is run synchronously. Following continuations are
enqueued for execution like any other asynchronous function.
The swift_task_asyncMainDrainQueue function acts as the entrypoint into
driving the main queues, ultimately running the whole program and acting
as the backing driver of the main actor. Making the function hookable
means that custom concurrency runtimes can implement their own async
entrypoints, allowing async top-level code and async-main to "just
work".
The async main drain queue function is noreturn, but was emitting a
warning due to the override compatibility returning the result of the
overridden function in the wrapper override function. To work around
this, I've added the `OVERRIDE_TASK_NORETURN` macro, which provides an
override point for noreturn functions in the concurrency library that
doesn't return the result from the wrapped function, avoiding the
warning. In the event that the function is not set, the macro is set to
the normal `OVERRIDE` with the return type set to `void`.
We were detaching the child by just modifying the list, but the cancellation path was assuming that that would not be done without holding the task status lock.
This patch just fixes the current runtime; the back-deployment side is complicated.

A task can be in one of 4 states over its lifetime:
(a) suspended
(b) enqueued
(c) running
(d) completed
This change provides priority inversion avoidance support if a task gets
escalated when it is in state (a), (c), (d).

This change has two parts to it:
1. Add in a new interface (addStatusRecordWithChecks) for adding task
status records that also takes in a function ref. This function ref will
be used to evaluate if current state of the parent task has any changes
that need to be propagated to the child task that has been created.
This is necessary to prevent the following race between task creation
and concurrent cancellation and escalation:
a. Parent task create child task. It does lazy relaxed loads on its own
state while doing so and propagates this state to the child.
b. Child task is created but has not been attached to the parent
task/task group.
c. Parent task gets cancelled by another thread.
d. Child task gets linked into the parent’s task status records but no
reevaluation has happened to account for changes that might have happened to
the parent after (a).
2. Move status record management functions from the
Runtime/Concurrency.h to TaskPrivate.h. Remove any corresponding
overrides that are no longer needed. Remove unused tryAddStatusRecord
method whose functionality is provided by addStatusRecordWithChecks.

when a task is adding adding new children to a task group, we need to
synchronize with the task status record lock of the parent task that has the
task group, to prevent races with concurrent cancellation and escalation.

`AsyncFunctionTypeImpl` has its `type` defaulted to `TaskContinuationFunction`
which is incorrect because it has to append arguments, result type and account
for throws bit.
These changes expand `AsyncSignature` with `ContinuationType` and expand `FunctionType`
to include all of the appropriate information.
Change the code generation patterns for `async let` bindings to use an ABI based on the following
functions:
- `swift_asyncLet_begin`, which starts an `async let` child task, but which additionally
now associates the `async let` with a caller-owned buffer to receive the result of the task.
This is intended to allow the task to emplace its result in caller-owned memory, allowing the
child task to be deallocated after completion without invalidating the result buffer.
- `swift_asyncLet_get[_throwing]`, which replaces `swift_asyncLet_wait[_throwing]`. Instead of
returning a copy of the value, this entry point concerns itself with populating the local buffer.
If the buffer hasn't been populated, then it awaits completion of the task and emplaces the
result in the buffer; otherwise, it simply returns. The caller can then read the result out of
its owned memory. These entry points are intended to be used before every read from the
`async let` binding, after which point the local buffer is guaranteed to contain an initialized
value.
- `swift_asyncLet_finish`, which replaces `swift_asyncLet_end`. Unlike `_end`, this variant
is async and will suspend the parent task after cancelling the child to ensure it finishes
before cleaning up. The local buffer will also be deinitialized if necessary. This is intended
to be used on exit from an `async let` scope, to handle cleaning up the local buffer if necessary
as well as cancelling, awaiting, and deallocating the child task.
- `swift_asyncLet_consume[_throwing]`, which combines `get` and `finish`. This will await completion
of the task, leaving the result value in the result buffer (or propagating the error, if it
throws), while destroying and deallocating the child task. This is intended as an optimization
for reading `async let` variables that are read exactly once by their parent task.
To avoid an epoch break with existing swiftinterfaces and ABI clients, the old builtins and entry
points are kept intact for now, but SILGen now only generates code using the new interface.
This new interface fixes several issues with the old async let codegen, including use-after-free
crashes if the `async let` was never awaited, and the inability to read from an `async let` variable
more than once.

Tracking this as a single bit is actually largely uninteresting
to the runtime. To handle priority escalation properly, we really
need to track this at a finer grain of detail: recording that the
task is running on a specific thread, enqueued on a specific actor,
or so on. But starting by tracking a single bit is important for
two reasons:
- First, it's more realistic about the performance overheads of
tasks: we're going to be doing this tracking eventually, and
the cost of that tracking will be dominated by the atomic
access, so doing that access now sets the baseline about right.
- Second, it ensures that we've actually got runtime involvement
in all the right places to do this tracking.
A propos of the latter: there was no runtime involvement with
awaiting a continuation, which is a point at which the task
potentially transitions from running to suspended. We must do
the tracking as part of this transition, rather than recognizing
in the run-loops that a task is still active and treating it as
having suspended, because the latter point potentially races with
the resumption of the task. To do this, I've had to introduce
a runtime function, swift_continuation_await, to do this awaiting
rather than inlining the atomic operation on the continuation.
As part of doing this work, I've also fixed a bug where we failed
to load-acquire in swift_task_escalate before walking the task
status records to invoke escalation actions.
I've also fixed several places where the handling of task statuses
may have accidentally allowed the task to revert to uncancelled.
Introduce a builtin `createAsyncTask` that maps to `swift_task_create`,
and use that for the non-group task creation operations based on the
task-creation flags. `swift_task_create` and the thin function version
`swift_task_create_f` go through the dynamically-replaceable
`swift_task_create_common`, where all of the task creation logic is
present.
While here, move copying of task locals and the initial scheduling of
the task into `swift_task_create_common`, enabling by separate flags.
The flags that are useful for task creation are a bit different from
the flags that go on a job. Create a separate flag set for task
creation and use that in the API for `swift_task_create`. For now,
have the callers do the remapping.
Collapse the `group` parameter of this API into the task options, and
have existing callers set up the options appropriately. The goal for
this function is to become the centralized entry point for all task
creation, with an extensible interface.

Changes the task, taskGroup, asyncLet wait funtion call ABIs.
To reduce code size pass the context parameters and resumption function
as arguments to the wait function.
This means that the suspend point does not need to store parent context
and resumption to the suspend point's context.
```
void swift_task_future_wait_throwing(
OpaqueValue * result,
SWIFT_ASYNC_CONTEXT AsyncContext *callerContext,
AsyncTask *task,
ThrowingTaskFutureWaitContinuationFunction *resume,
AsyncContext *callContext);
```
The runtime passes the caller context to the resume entry point saving
the load of the parent context in the resumption function.
This patch adds a `Metadata *` field to `GroupImpl`. The await entry
pointer no longer pass the metadata pointer and there is a path through
the runtime where the task future is no longer available.
This commit changes JobFlags storage to be 32bits, but leaves the runtime
API expressed in terms of size_t. This allows us to pack an Id in the
32bits we freed up.
The offset of this Id in the AsyncTask is an ABI constant. This way
introspection tools can extract the currently running task identifier
without any need for special APIs.
* [Concurrency] Reduce overhead of Task.yield and Task.sleep
Instead of creating a new task, we create a simple job that wraps a Builtin.RawUnsafeContinuation and resumes the continuation when it is executed. The job instance is allocated on the task local allocator, meaning we don't malloc anything.
* Update stdlib/public/Concurrency/Task.swift
