+ <description>
+ <p>This module provides a set of functions to do atomic operations towards
+ mutable atomic variables. The implementation utilizes only
+ atomic hardware instructions without any software level locking, which makes
+ it very efficient for concurrent access. The atomics are organized into
+ arrays with the following semantics:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p>Atomics are 64 bit integers.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Atomics can be represented as either signed or unsigned.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Atomics wrap around at overflow and underflow operations.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>All operations guarantee atomicity. No intermediate results can be
+ seen. The result of one mutation can only be the input to one
+ following mutation.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>All atomic operations are mutually ordered. If atomic B is updated
+ <em>after</em> atomic A, then that is how it will appear to any
+ concurrent readers. No one can read the new value of B and then read the
+ old value of A.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>

+ arity N contains N atomics with index from 1 to N.</p>

+ <description>
+ <p>This module provides a set of functions to do operations towards
+ shared mutable counter variables. The implementation does not utilize any
+ software level locking, which makes it very efficient for concurrent
+ access. The counters are organized into arrays with the following
+ semantics:</p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p>Counters are 64 bit signed integers.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Counters wrap around at overflow and underflow operations.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item><p>Counters are initialized to zero and can then only be written to
+ by adding or subtracting.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Write operations guarantee atomicity. No intermediate results can be
+ seen from a single write operation.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Two types of counter arrays can be created with options <c>atomics</c> or
+ <c>write_concurrency</c>. The <c>atomics</c> counters have good allround
+ performance with nice consistent semantics while
+ <c>write_concurrency</c> counters offers even better concurrent
+ write performance at the expense of some potential read
+ inconsistencies. See <seealso marker="#new/2"><c>new/2</c></seealso>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Indexes into counter arrays are one-based. A counter array of
+ size N contains N counters with index from 1 to N.</p>

+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>atomics</c> (Default)</tag>
+ <item><p>Counters will be sequentially consistent. If write
+ operation A is done sequentially before write operation B, then a concurrent reader
+ may see none of them, only A, or both A and B. It cannot see only B.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>write_concurrency</c></tag>
+ <item><p>This is an optimization to achieve very efficient concurrent
+ <seealso marker="#add/3"><c>add</c></seealso> and <seealso
+ marker="#sub/3"><c>sub</c></seealso> operations at the expense of potential read
+ inconsistency and memory consumption per counter.</p>
+ <p>Read operations may see sequentially inconsistent results with
+ regard to concurrent write operations. Even if write operation A is done
+ sequentially before write operation B, a concurrent reader may see any
+ combination of A and B, including only B. A read operation is only
+ guaranteed to see all writes done sequentially before the read. No writes
+ are ever lost, but will eventually all be seen.</p>
+ <p>The typical use case for <c>write_concurrency</c> is when
+ concurrent calls to <seealso marker="#add/3"><c>add</c></seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="#sub/3"><c>sub</c></seealso> toward the same counters
+ are very frequent, while calls to <seealso marker="#get/2"><c>get</c>

+ <item>
+ <p>When a module has been purged from memory, any
+ literals belonging to that module will be copied to all
+ processes that hold references to them. The max heap size
+ limit would be ignored in the garbage collection
+ initiated when copying literals to a process. If the max
+ heap size was exceeded, the process would typically be
+ terminated in the following garbage collection. Corrected
+ to terminate the process directly if copying a literal
+ would exceed the max heap size.</p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fixed bug in <c>file:sendfile</c> when the send operation
+ failed. For sockets in <c>active</c> modes it could cause
+ emulator crash or a hanging call. For sockets with
+ <c>{active,false}</c> an unexpected <c>{inet_reply, _,
+ _}</c> message could be sent to the calling process. The
+ bug exists since OTP-21.0.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15461 Aux Id: ERL-784 </p>

+ <p>
+ The erts configure script has been updated to reject any
+ CFLAGS that does not have <c>-O</c>. This in order to
+ prevent the common mistake of forgetting to add
+ <c>-O2</c> to custom CFLAGS.</p>

+ access to highly efficient operations on mutable fixed
+ word sized variables.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-13468</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>There is a new module <c>persistent_term</c> that
+ implements a term storage suitable for terms that are
+ frequently used but never or infrequently updated.
+ Lookups are done in constant time without copying the
+ terms.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-14669 Aux Id: PR-1989 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ A function <c>inet:getifaddrs/1</c> that takes a list
+ with a namespace option has been added, for platforms
+ that support that feature, for example Linux (only?).</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15121 Aux Id: ERIERL-189, PR-1974 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Added the <c>nopush</c> option for TCP sockets, which
+ corresponds to <c>TCP_NOPUSH</c> on *BSD and
+ <c>TCP_CORK</c> on Linux.</p>
+ <p>This is also used internally in <c>file:sendfile</c>
+ to reduce latency on subsequent send operations.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15357 Aux Id: ERL-698 </p>
+ </item>

+ yield properly on large inputs.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15371</p>

+ work with the new pollthread implementation introduced in
+ OTP-21.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15471 Aux Id: ERIERL-229 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Optimize driver_set_timer with a zero timeout to
+ short-circuit and not create any timer structure, but
+ instead schedule the timer immediately.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15472 Aux Id: ERIERL-229 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add <c>erl_xcomp_code_model_small</c> as a cross
+ configure variable in order to let the emulator be build
+ with the assumption that a small code model will be used
+ on the target machine.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15473 Aux Id: ERIERL-229 </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Add a new pollset that is made to handle sockets that use
+ <c>{active, true}</c> or <c>{active, N}</c>. The new
+ pollset will not be polled by a pollthread, but instead
+ polled by a normal scheduler.</p>
+ <p>
+ This change was made because of the overhead associated
+ with constantly having to re-apply the ONESHOT mechanism
+ on fds that all input events were interesting.</p>
+ <p>
+ The new pollset is only active on platforms that support
+ concurrent kernel poll updates, i.e. Linux and BSD.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15475 Aux Id: ERIERL-229 </p>

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix a performance bug for reception of UDP packages,
+ where a memory buffer would be reallocated when it should
+ not have been.</p>
+ <p>
+ Introduce a limit on the maximum automatic increase of
+ the UDP user-space buffer to the theoretical max of the

+ in the emulator terminating with the reason "Failed to
+ write to erl_child_setup: ". After this fix the
+ <c>open_port</c> call will throw an <c>emfile</c>
+ exception instead.</p>
+ <p>
+ Own Id: OTP-15210</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Upgraded the ERTS internal PCRE library from version 8.41
+ to version 8.42. See <url
+ href="http://pcre.org/original/changelog.txt">http://pcre.org/original/changelog.txt</url>
+ for information about changes made to PCRE. This library

+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Fix <c>open_port({fd,X,Y}, ...)</c> to release the file
+ descriptors from the pollset when closing the port.
+ Without this fix the same file descriptor number could
+ not be reused when doing multiple open_port and
+ port_close sequences.</p>

+ Improved robustness of distribution connection setup. In
+ OTP-21.0 a truly asynchronous connection setup was
+ introduced. This is further improvement on that work to
+ make the emulator more robust and also be able to recover
+ in cases when involved Erlang processes misbehave.</p>

+ The socket options <c>recvtos</c>, <c>recvttl</c>,

+ <c>pktoptions</c> which is very Linux specific and

+ <description>
+ <p>This module is similar to <seealso
+ marker="stdlib:ets"><c>ets</c></seealso> in that it provides a
+ storage for Erlang terms that can be accessed in constant time,
+ but with the difference that <c>persistent_term</c> has been
+ highly optimized for reading terms at the expense of writing and
+ updating terms. When a persistent term is updated or deleted, a
+ global garbage collection pass is run to scan all processes for
+ the deleted term, and to copy it into each process that still uses
+ it. Therefore, <c>persistent_term</c> is suitable for storing
+ Erlang terms that are frequently accessed but never or
+ infrequently updated.</p>
+
+ <warning><p>Persistent terms is an advanced feature and is not a
+ general replacement for ETS tables. Before using persistent terms,
+ make sure to fully understand the consequence to system
+ performance when updating or deleting persistent terms.</p></warning>
+
+ <p>Term lookup (using <seealso
+ marker="#get/1"><c>get/1</c></seealso>), is done in constant time
+ and without taking any locks, and the term is <strong>not</strong>
+ copied to the heap (as is the case with terms stored in ETS
+ tables).</p>
+
+ <p>Storing or updating a term (using <seealso
+ marker="#put/2"><c>put/2</c></seealso>) is proportional to the
+ number of already created persistent terms because the hash table
+ holding the keys will be copied. In addition, the term itself will
+ be copied.</p>
+
+ <p>When a (complex) term is deleted (using <seealso
+ marker="#erase/1"><c>erase/1</c></seealso>) or replaced by another
+ (using <seealso marker="#put/2"><c>put/2</c></seealso>), a global
+ garbage collection is initiated. It works like this:</p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item><p>All processes in the system will be scheduled to run a
+ scan of their heaps for the term that has been deleted. While
+ such scan is relatively light-weight, if there are many
+ processes, the system can become less responsive until all
+ process have scanned their heaps.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>If the deleted term (or any part of it) is still used
+ by a process, that process will do a major (fullsweep) garbage
+ collection and copy the term into the process. However, at most
+ two processes at a time will be scheduled to do that kind of
+ garbage collection.</p></item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p>Deletion of atoms and other terms that fit in one machine word
+ is specially optimized to avoid doing a global GC. It is still not
+ recommended to update persistent terms with such values too
+ frequently because the hash table holding the keys is copied every
+ time a persistent term is updated.</p>
+
+ <p>Some examples are suitable uses for persistent terms are:</p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item><p>Storing of configuration data that must be easily
+ accessible by all processes.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>Storing of references for NIF resources.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>Storing of references for efficient counters.</p></item>
+
+ <item><p>Storing an atom to indicate a logging level or whether debugging
+ is turned on.</p></item>

+ <title>Storing Huge Persistent Terms</title>
+ <p>The current implementation of persistent terms uses the literal
+ <seealso marker="erts_alloc">allocator</seealso> also used for
+ literals (constant terms) in BEAM code. By default, 1 GB of
+ virtual address space is reserved for literals in BEAM code and
+ persistent terms. The amount of virtual address space reserved for
+ literals can be changed by using the <seealso
+ marker="erts_alloc#MIscs"><c>+MIscs option</c></seealso> when
+ starting the emulator.</p>
+
+ <p>Here is an example how the reserved virtual address space for literals
+ can be raised to 2 GB (2048 MB):</p>
+
+ <pre>
+ erl +MIscs 2048</pre>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Warning For Many Persistent Terms</title>
+ <p>The runtime system will send a warning report to the
+ error logger if more than 20000 persistent terms have been
+ created. It will look like this:</p>
+
+<pre>
+More than 20000 persistent terms have been created.
+It is recommended to avoid creating an excessive number of
+persistent terms, as creation and deletion of persistent terms
+will be slower as the number of persistent terms increases.</pre>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Best Practices for Using Persistent Terms</title>
+
+ <p>It is recommended to use keys like <c>?MODULE</c> or
+ <c>{?MODULE,SubKey}</c> to avoid name collisions.</p>
+
+ <p>Prefer creating a few large persistent terms to creating many
+ small persistent terms. The execution time for storing a
+ persistent term is proportional to the number of already existing
+ terms.</p>
+
+ <p>Updating a persistent term with the same value as it already
+ has is specially optimized to do nothing quickly; thus, there is
+ no need compare the old and new values and avoid calling
+ <seealso marker="#put/2"><c>put/2</c></seealso> if the values
+ are equal.</p>
+
+ <p>When atoms or other terms that fit in one machine word are
+ deleted, no global GC is needed. Therefore, persistent terms that
+ have atoms as their values can be updated more frequently, but
+ note that updating such persistent terms is still much more
+ expensive than reading them.</p>
+
+ <p>Updating or deleting a persistent term will trigger a global GC
+ if the term does not fit in one machine word. Processes will be
+ scheduled as usual, but all processes will be made runnable at
+ once, which will make the system less responsive until all process
+ have run and scanned their heaps for the deleted terms. One way to
+ minimize the effects on responsiveness could be to minimize the
+ number of processes on the node before updating or deleting a
+ persistent term. It would also be wise to avoid updating terms
+ when the system is at peak load.</p>
+
+ <p>Avoid storing a retrieved persistent term in a process if that
+ persistent term could be deleted or updated in the future. If a
+ process holds a reference to a persistent term when the term is
+ deleted, the process will be garbage collected and the term copied
+ to process.</p>
+
+ <p>Avoid updating or deleting more than one persistent term at a
+ time. Each deleted term will trigger its own global GC. That
+ means that deleting N terms will make the system less responsive N
+ times longer than deleting a single persistent term. Therefore,
+ terms that are to be updated at the same time should be collected
+ into a larger term, for example, a map or a tuple.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Example</title>
+
+ <p>The following example shows how lock contention for ETS tables
+ can be minimized by having one ETS table for each scheduler. The
+ table identifiers for the ETS tables are stored as a single
+ persistent term:</p>
+
+<pre>
+ %% There is one ETS table for each scheduler.
+ Sid = erlang:system_info(scheduler_id),
+ Tid = element(Sid, persistent_term:get(?MODULE)),
+ ets:update_counter(Tid, Key, 1).</pre>
