The new intrinsic, exposed via static functions on Task<T, Never> and
Task<T, Error> (rethrowing), begins an asynchronous context within a
synchronous caller's context. This is only available for use under the
task-to-thread concurrency model, and even then only under SPI.
`willreturn`
This function attribute indicates that a call of this function will
either exhibit undefined behavior or comes back and continues execution
at a point in the existing call stack that includes the current
invocation. Annotated functions may still raise an exception, i.a.,
`nounwind` is not implied. If an invocation of an annotated function does
not return control back to a point in the call stack, the behavior is
undefined.
I conservatively did not assume that the deinit is willreturn therefore
release like operations are not marked `willreturn`.

Define the possible runtime effects of an instruction in an enum `RuntimeEffect`.
Add a new utility `swift:getRuntimeEffect` to estimate the runtime effects of an instruction.
Also, add a mechanism to validate the correctness of the analysis in IRGen: annotate all runtime functions in RuntimeFunctions.def with the actual effect what the runtime function has or can have. Then check if the effects of emitted runtime functions for an instruction match what `getRuntimeEffect` predicts.
This check is only enabled on demand by defining the CHECK_RUNTIME_EFFECT_ANALYSIS macro in RuntimeEffect.h
`objc_getRequiredClass` will produce a fatal error if the class isn't
found, which will prevent a malformed program using back-deployed @objc
actor from launching. Also eliminate the spurious `objc_opt_self`
call, which is unneeded given that we're realizing the metadata.
Thanks to Mike Ash for the review.
@objc actors implicitly inherit from the new, hidden
`SwiftNativeNSObject` class that inherits from `NSObject` yet provides
Swift-native reference counting, which is important for the actor
runtime's handling of zombies. However, `SwiftNativeNSObject` is only
available in the Swift runtime in newer OS versions (e.g., macOS
12.0/iOS 15.0), and is available in the back-deployed _Concurrency
library, but there is no stable place to link against for
back-deployed code. Tricky, tricky.
When back-deploying @objc actors, record `NSObject` as the superclass
in the metadata in the binary, because we cannot reference
`SwiftNativeNSObject`. Then, emit a static initializer to
dynamically look up `SwiftNativeNSObject` by name (which will find it
in either the back-deployment library, on older systems, or in the
runtime for newer systems), then swizzle that in as the superclass of
the @objc actor.
Fixes rdar://83919973.
When back-deploying, create global-actor-qualified function types via a
separate entrypoint
(`swift_getFunctionTypeMetadataGlobalActorBackDeploy`) in the
compatibility library, which checks whether it is running with a
new-enough runtime to use `swift_getFunctionTypeMetadataGlobalActor`.
Failing that, it calls into a separate copy of the implementation that
exists only in the back-deployed concurrency library.
Fixes rdar://79153988.
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.
When witness tables for enums are instantiated at runtime via
swift::swift_initEnumMetadataMultiPayload
the witnesses
getEnumTagSinglePayload
storeEnumTagSinglePayload
are filled with swift_getMultiPayloadEnumTagSinglePayload (previously
getMultiPayloadEnumTagSinglePayload) and
swift_storeMultiPayloadEnumTagSinglePayload (previously
storeMultiPayloadEnumTagSinglePayload). Concretely, that occurs when
instantiating the value witness table for a generic enum which has more
than one case with a payload, like Result<T>. To enable the compiler to
do the same work, those functions need to be visible to it.
Here, those functions are made visible to the compiler. Doing so
requires changing the way they are declared and adding them to
RuntimeFunctions.def which in turn requires the definition of some
functions to describe the availability of those functions.
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.
introduce new options parameter to all task spawning
[Concurrency] ABI for asynclet start to accept options

I added Builtin.buildMainActorExecutor before, but because I never
implemented it correctly in IRGen, it's not okay to use it on old
versions, so I had to introduce a new feature only for it.
The shim dispatch queue class in the Concurrency runtime is rather
awful, but I couldn't think of a reasonable alternative without
just entirely hard-coding the witness table in the runtime.
It's not ABI, at least.
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.

The closure does not escape the startAsyncLet - endAsyncLet scope. Even though it's (potentially) running on a different thread.
The substantial change in the runtime is to not call swift_release on the closure context if it's a non-escaping closure.
- stop storing the parent task in the TaskGroup at the .swift level
- make sure that swift_taskGroup_isCancelled is implied by the parent
task being cancelled
- make the TaskGroup structs frozen
- make the withTaskGroup functions inlinable
- remove swift_taskGroup_create
- teach IRGen to allocate memory for the task group
- don't deallocate the task group in swift_taskGroup_destroy
To achieve the allocation change, introduce paired create/destroy builtins.
Furthermore, remove the _swiftRetain and _swiftRelease functions and
several calls to them. Replace them with uses of the appropriate builtins.
I should probably change the builtins to return retained, since they're
working with a managed type, but I'll do that in a separate commit.
For ordinary memory-management reasons, this should only ever
happen when there will be no more uses of the actor outside of the
actor runtime. The actor runtime, meanwhile, doesn't care about
anything except the default-actor control state of the actor. So
we can just allow the rest of the actor to be destructed when it
isn't needed anymore, then destroy the actor state and deallocate
the object when we get around to switching off the executor.
This does assume that the task doesn't do anything which semantically
detects the executor it's on before switching off it, since doing so
might read a bogus executor. However, we should only get an executor
in a zombie state like this when a hop has been removed or reordered,
and detection events should count as inhibiting that and forcing the
true executor to be switched to (and thus detected).
(But maybe lifetime optimization can make this happen? Maybe we
need semantic detection to filter out zombie executors.)
* Move differentiability kinds from target function type metadata to trailing objects so that we don't exhaust all remaining bits of function type metadata.
* Differentiability kind is now stored in a tail-allocated word when function type flags say it's differentiable, located immediately after the normal function type metadata's contents (with proper alignment in between).
* Add new runtime function `swift_getFunctionTypeMetadataDifferentiable` which handles differentiable function types.
* Fix mangling of different differentiability kinds in function types. Mangle it like `ConcurrentFunctionType` so that we can drop special cases for escaping functions.
```
function-signature ::= params-type params-type async? sendable? throws? differentiable? // results and parameters
...
differentiable ::= 'jf' // @differentiable(_forward) on function type
differentiable ::= 'jr' // @differentiable(reverse) on function type
differentiable ::= 'jd' // @differentiable on function type
differentiable ::= 'jl' // @differentiable(_linear) on function type
```
Resolves rdar://75240064.
The immediate desire is to minimize the set of ABI dependencies
on the layout of an ExecutorRef. In addition to that, however,
I wanted to generally reduce the code size impact of an unsafe
continuation since it now requires accessing thread-local state,
and I wanted resumption to not have to create unnecessary type
metadata for the value type just to do the initialization.
Therefore, I've introduced a swift_continuation_init function
which handles the default initialization of a continuation
and returns a reference to the current task. I've also moved
the initialization of the normal continuation result into the
caller (out of the runtime), and I've moved the resumption-side
cmpxchg into the runtime (and prior to the task being enqueued).
Tasks shouldn't normally hog the actor context indefinitely after making a call that's bound to
that actor, since that prevents the actor from potentially taking on other jobs it needs to
be able to address. Set up SILGen so that it saves the current executor (using a new runtime
entry point) and hops back to it after every actor call, not only ones where the caller context
is also actor-bound.
The added executor hopping here also exposed a bug in the runtime implementation while processing
DefaultActor jobs, where if an actor job returned to the processing loop having already yielded
the thread back to a generic executor, we would still attempt to make the actor give up the thread
again, corrupting its state.
rdar://71905765
Most of the async runtime functions have been changed to not
expect the task and executor to be passed in. When knowing the
task and executor is necessary, there are runtime functions
available to recover them.
The biggest change I had to make to a runtime function signature
was to swift_task_switch, which has been altered to expect to be
passed the context and resumption function instead of requiring
the caller to park the task. This has the pleasant consequence
of allowing the implementation to very quickly turn around when
it recognizes that the current executor is satisfactory. It does
mean that on arm64e we have to sign the continuation function
pointer as an argument and then potentially resign it when
assigning into the task's resume slot.
rdar://70546948
In their previous form, the non-`_f` variants of these entry points were unused, and IRGen
lowered the `createAsyncTask` builtins to use the `_f` variants with a large amount of caller-side
codegen to manually unpack closure values. Amid all this, it also failed to make anyone responsible
for releasing the closure context after the task completed, causing every task creation to leak.
Redo the `swift_task_create_*` entry points to accept the two words of an async closure value
directly, and unpack the closure to get its invocation entry point and initial context size
inside the runtime. (Also get rid of the non-future `swift_task_create` variant, since it's unused
and it's subtly different in a lot of hairy ways from the future forms. Better to add it later
when it's needed than to have a broken unexercised version now.)
I'm about to replace these with new variations that correctly handle spawning a task with
a closure as its initial entry point, without leaking or requiring large amounts of caller-side
code generation.
