2017-02-06Implement magic referencesRickard Green
Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization. An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly. Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers, and BIF timer identifiers. Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty binaries to the Erlang software.

2017-02-06Atomic reference count of binaries also in non-SMPRickard Green
NIF resources was not handled in a thread-safe manner in the runtime system without SMP support. As a consequence of this fix, the following driver functions are now thread-safe also in the runtime system without SMP support: - driver_free_binary() - driver_realloc_binary() - driver_binary_get_refc() - driver_binary_inc_refc() - driver_binary_dec_refc()

2017-02-03Store messages for 'rex' and 'error_logger' off heapBjörn Gustavsson
Performance for processes that receive huge amounts of messages can be increased by storing the incoming messages outside the heap (that avoids copying the message in a garbage collection). Two OTP processes that are known to receive many messages are 'rex' (used by 'rpc') and 'error_logger'.

2017-02-03dialyzer: Attempt to reduce memory consumptionHans Bolinder
The 'deps' field is reset when no longer used, which could possibly save some memory.
2017-02-03dialyzer: Do not spawn all workers at onceHans Bolinder
Spawning all worker processes at once has the potential to increase peak memory consumption. Therefore the implementation is now slightly modified: `20 * dialyzer_utils:parallelism()' processes are running in parallel. 20 i quite a big factor, but seems necessary to keep all schedulers busy according to the Observer application's Load Charts, with a 100 ms update interval.
