net: enable native golang linux networking #4498

leongross · 2024-10-04T14:02:23Z

This is a rework of the plain linux network POC #4460. This PR adds adaptive switching of network packages depending on the GOOS.

The CI fails due to unadjusted build tags for MacOs and WASm.
Successfully tested on linux/amd64.

How did you test this?

To accept this into TinyGo, I'd like to see at least some tests. For example, you can create a new test like testdata/net.go (and add it to main_test.go for Linux only). It doesn't have to be exhaustive, but for example you can start a socket server (net.Listen) in a goroutine and try to connect to it from the same program.

-	panic("todo: semacquire")
+	// TODO the "net" pkg calls this, so panic() isn't an option.  Right
+	// now, just ignore the call.
+	// panic("todo: semacquire")


Don't do this. There is a very good reason this panics: it is a reminder this should be implemented when it is used.
So either restore the panic, or actually implement semacquire and semrelease.

(It's probably easier to implement the internal/poll package instead in a way that works with TinyGo - but even that might be rather complex).

Maybe I am missing something here, but since tinygo at the moment only supports a single os thread, it would be sufficient to implement this using a simple mutex, right? Making this code panic will eventually reduce usability for this drastically.

No. All this API provides is a uint32 to store state. That's not enough to store a queue of waiting goroutines and the counter as would be needed for proper semaphore support. I don't think this can even be implemented in the current scheduler - at leat, not without some expensive data structures on the side. It is relatively easy to implement with a futex though, as I have in my threading PR: #4559

I see that PR #4559 is still a wip. Maybe we should consider pulling out the futex functionality first to make some progress here?

@aykevl does this sound like a good approach to you?

leongross · 2024-10-10T13:50:54Z

@aykevl I will add some basic tests. Since I already did some testing (I hope) it should be fairly easy to integrate this here.

src/syscall/forklock.go

+// So for now, make our own stubbed-out ForkLock that doesn't use sync..
+
+type forklock struct{}
+
+func (f forklock) RLock()   {}
+func (f forklock) RUnlock() {}
+
+var ForkLock forklock


Don't. You're basically removing all safety here and breaking the API contract.

This again was stub code to get the poc working. Since your PR introduces threat safe mutexes we could replace it with

Suggested change

// So for now, make our own stubbed-out ForkLock that doesn't use sync..

type forklock struct{}

func (f forklock) RLock() {}

func (f forklock) RUnlock() {}

var ForkLock forklock

var ForkLock sync.RWMutex

+// "That is, don't think of these as semaphores.
+// Think of them as a way to implement sleep and wakeup
+// such that every sleep is paired with a single wakeup,
+// even if, due to races, the wakeup happens before the sleep."


Ah, that's useful to know. So they're not really semaphores but something like it.

+	return &t[(uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(addr))>>3)%semTabSize].root

Can you explain what this is doing, and what it's for?

src/runtime/sync.go

+	if cansemacquire(sema) {
+		return
+	}


This doesn't look like a complete implementation?
You need to wait for the other goroutine to do a semrelease. (This would be easy with multithreading and real OS futexes, but they don't exist yet).
Either you can busy loop with Gosched() (terrible idea) or put the waiting goroutine in a hashmap to be awoken by semrelease (slightly less terrible idea).

src/runtime/netpoll_generic.go

+	println("poll_runtime_pollReset not implemented", pd, mode)
+	return 1


This is also a bad idea. Either implement it, or exit with an error.

Returning 1 here indicates an error for this context. I added the proper definitions that should make it more clear.

If you put in debugging code, please remove it before sending in a PR. It makes the diff bigger and more work to review.
Generally, take a look at the PR diff and see if there's any part of it that is not necessary and can be removed (such as the changes to .gitmodules and the signal changes that are still part of this PR).
(Also, how do you know that you can just remove this panic?)

Please don't make unrelated changes in the PR. While this is probably a good idea, it would be better to make a separate cleanup PR instead of putting everything in one huge PR.
