ZEND_VM
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
ZEND_VM architecture allows specializing opcode handlers according to op_type
|
|
fields and using different execution methods (call threading, switch threading
|
|
and direct threading). As a result ZE2 got more than 20% speedup on raw PHP
|
|
code execution (with specialized executor and direct threading execution
|
|
method). As in most PHP applications raw execution speed isn't the limiting
|
|
factor but system calls and database calls are, your mileage with this patch
|
|
will vary.
|
|
|
|
Most parts of the old zend_execute.c go into zend_vm_def.h. Here you can
|
|
find opcode handlers and helpers. The typical opcode handler template looks
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
ZEND_VM_HANDLER(<OPCODE-NUMBER>, <OPCODE>, <OP1_TYPES>, <OP2_TYPES>)
|
|
{
|
|
<HANDLER'S CODE>
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
<OPCODE-NUMBER> is a opcode number (0, 1, ...)
|
|
<OPCODE> is an opcode name (ZEN_NOP, ZEND_ADD, :)
|
|
<OP1_TYPES> & <OP2_TYPES> are masks for allowed operand op_types. Specializer
|
|
will generate code only for defined combination of types. You can use any
|
|
combination of the following op_types UNUSED, CONST, VAR, TMP and CV also
|
|
you can use ANY mask to disable specialization according operand's op_type.
|
|
<HANDLER'S CODE> is a handler's code itself. For most handlers it stills the
|
|
same as in old zend_execute.c, but now it uses macros to access opcode operands
|
|
and some internal executor data.
|
|
|
|
You can see the conformity of new macros to old code in the following list:
|
|
|
|

Executor's helpers can be defined without parameters or with one parameter.
|
|
This is done with the following constructs:
|
|
|
|
ZEND_VM_HELPER(<HELPER-NAME>, <OP1_TYPES>, <OP2_TYPES>)
|
|
{
|
|
<HELPER'S CODE>
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
ZEND_VM_HELPER_EX(<HELPER-NAME>, <OP1_TYPES>, <OP2_TYPES>, <PARAM_SPEC>)
|
|
{
|
|
<HELPER'S CODE>
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Executor's code is generated by PHP script zend_vm_gen.php it uses zend_vm_def.h
|
|
and zend_vm_execute.skl as input and produces zend_vm_opcodes.h and
|
|
zend_vm_execute.h. The first file is a list of opcode definitions. It is
|
|
included from zend_compile.h. The second one is an executor code itself. It is
|
|
included from zend_execute.c.
|
|
|
|
zend_vm_gen.php can produce different kind of executors. You can select
|
|
different opcode threading model using --with-vm-kind=CALL|SWITCH|GOTO. You can
|
|
disable opcode specialization using --without-specializer. You can include or
|
|
exclude old executor together with specialized one using --without-old-executor.
|
|
At last you can debug executor using original zend_vm_def.h or generated file
|
|
zend_vm_execute.h. Debugging with original file requires --with-lines
|
|
option. By default ZE2 uses the following command to generate executor:
|
|
|
|
$ php zend_vm_gen.php --with-vm-kind=CALL
|
|
|
|
Zend Engine II currently includes two executors during the build process, one
|
|
is the specialized version and the other is the old one non-specialized with
|
|
function handlers. By default Zend Engine II uses the specialized one but you
|
|
can switch to the old executor at runtime by calling zend_vm_use_old_executor().
