Since it's been quite a while since I've written C code, *and* I
haven't done any significant hacking on the VM itself in years, it's
quite likely that I haven't done things in 100% proper style. Or
my co-collaborators Dustin Sallings (CouchBase) or Michal Ptaszek
(Erlang Solutions). My intent for this patch is to start discussion
and review of DTrace support for consideration for the R15 release.
For additional background on the motivation for this work, please
see the slides for the presentation at the Erlang User Conference 2011
in Stockholm:
https://www.erlang-factory.com/upload/presentations/462/euc2011-draft2.pdf
Changes relative to dtrace-review2 branch:
* Fix errors in OTP test suite 'kernel' file_SUITE
* Fix errors in OTP test suite 'kernel' prim_file_SUITE
* Fix bad pointer bug in efile_drv.c flush_write()
* Move the DTrace material from the top of `README.md` into a
new file, `README.dtrace.md`
Changes since last push to GitHub (relative to commit 5828a4fb28, which
was the former `dtrace-review1` branch):
* Rebased onto 14 Nov 2011's "master" branch
* Recent changes to the async task queuing mechanism means that
the async worker queue length is not available. A bogus value
of -1 is hard-coded until there's a good way to peek into the
new queue structure and find the queue length.
* Small fixes based on review comments by Mikael Pettersson,
Andrew Thompson, and Andreas Schultz.
Add autoconf support: use "./configure --enable-dtrace" on all supported
platforms:
* OS X Snow Leopard or later
* Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris
* Linux, via SystemTap's DTrace compatibility packages
* FreeBSD 9.0RC1. FreeBSD 8 and earlier do not have support
for USDT, DTrace's User-land Statically Defined Tracing.
See the file `erts/emulator/beam/erlang_dtrace.d` for the definition
of all DTrace probes in the virtual machine so far.
Example D scripts can be found in `lib/dtrace/examples`. Note that if
you see the error message `{name of probe} does not match any probes`,
then there is no Erlang VM process + DTrace probes running. To fix,
start a DTrace-enabled VM or remove `-q` from the `dtrace` command line.
The `lib/dtrace` directory contains a small code-only OTP application
that contains code that allows Erlang code to trigger a DTrace probe.
Dynamic creation & deletion of DTrace probes is not currently
supported, so the `dtrace:p()` function is hacked to allow a variable
number of arguments (up to four integers and up to four strings) to be
used. See the comments at the top of `lib/dtrace/src/dtrace.c` for
more detail.
One feature that may be controversial is the notion I've introduced
of a special process dictionary key that can be used by Erlang code to
tag I/O operations for an application-specific purpose. Right now,
that tag's name is `dtrace_utag`. The dictionary keys used by `sys`
and other modules start with a dollar sign. Perhaps there is some
convention (but not a dollar sign?) that this tag should use?
The purpose of the process dictionary key is to allow the tag to
be included in trace messages, e.g. for file I/O, without changing the
API of the `file.erl` module's functions. For example, here's a use
of the tag when calling the `file:rename/2` function:
(bar@sbb2)1> put(dtrace_utag, "GGOOOAAALL!!!!!").
undefined
(bar@sbb2)2> dtrace:init().
ok
%% Now start both the `user-probe.d` and `efile_drv.d` D scripts
%% found in the `lib/dtrace/examples` directory.
(bar@sbb2)3> dtrace:p(7, 8, 9, "one", "four").
true
%% The output from the `user-probe.d` script:
<0.40.0> GGOOOAAALL!!!!! 7 8 9 0 'one' 'four' '' ''
(bar@sbb2)4> file:rename("old-name", "new-name").
{error,enoent}
%% The output from the `efile_drv.d` script:
async I/O pool port #Port<0.59> queue len 1
async I/O pool port #Port<0.59> queue len 0
efile_drv enter tag={1,110} user tag GGOOOAAALL!!!!! | RENAME (12) | args: old-name new-name , 0 0 (port #Port<0.59>)
async I/O worker tag={1,110} | RENAME (12) | efile_drv-int_entry
async I/O worker tag={1,110} | RENAME (12) | efile_drv-int_return
efile_drv return tag={1,110} user tag GGOOOAAALL!!!!! | RENAME (12) | errno 2
I'm not exactly happy with this choice of tagging, namely using
`put(dtrace_utag, Tag::list())`. But this is an experiment, so
we'll see how it goes. I can't imagine changing the API for
all file.erl functions in order pass the tag explicitly.
Some modules have some extensive (ab)use of the C preprocessor to
reduce the amount of #ifdefs that clutter the code. In several places,
I have not #ifdef'ed automatic variables because of clutter. For the
same reason, there are a handful of cases where I added DTrace-related
members to a struct definition without an #ifdef. I feel that the
result is easier to read than earlier drafts where I did use many more
`https://github.com/slfritchie/otp/tree/dtrace-experiment+michal2` if
you're curious.) I expect there may be some debate about whether the
bloat of the affected structs is worthwhile. I erred on adding stuff
to structs, especially in the efile_drv.c driver, not having a full
grasp on what was thread-safe and what was not ... so I erred on the
side of caution.
The efile_drv.c has a work-around for a crazy GCC optimization bug.
Thank goodness for Google, I dunno how I would've found a work-around
for this silly thing. Many thanks to Trond Norbye for writing clearly
about the problem in a membase Git repo commit message.
/*
* A note on probe naming: if "__" appears in a provider probe
* definition, then two things happen during compilation:
*
* 1. The "__" will turn into a hypen, "-", for the probe name.
* 2. The "__" will turn into a single underscore, "_", for the
* macro names and function definitions that the compiler and
* C developers will see.
*
* We'll try to use the following naming convention. We're a bit
* limited because, as a USDT probe, we can only specify the 4th part
* of the probe name, e.g. erlang*:::mumble. The 2nd part of the
* probe name is always going to be "beam" or "beam.smp", and the 3rd
* part of the probe name will always be the name of the function
* that's calling the probe.
*
* So, all probes will be have names defined in this file using the
* convention category__name or category__sub_category__name. This
* will translate to probe names of category-name or
* category-sub_category-name.
*
* Each of "category", "sub_category", and "name" may have underscores
* but may not have hyphens.
*/
Add tentative support for sequential tracing sending, queueing, and
receiving a message. I don't believe I've fully covered all the major
places where it would be useful to have the sequential trace token info
in a probe -- guidance from the OTP team would be helpful, if there's
time to do that kind of review.
Add global variable `erts_this_node_sysname`.

* ta/sendfile/OTP-9240:
Do not use async threads on DARWIN
Fix cleanup when sendfile process crashes
Return {error,closed} from sendfile if closed
Do not use SFV_NOWAIT as it does not exist on all solaris
Clarify some code comments
Make solaris use sendfilev

sendfilev is a richer API which allows us to
do non blocking TCP on solaris. The normal
sendfile API seems to have some issue with
non blocking sockets and the return value of
sendfile.

Many test cases provoke printouts similar to:
ERTS_FP_CHECK_INIT at 0x131fd218: detected unhandled FPE at 0x1
Until the problem has been identified and fixed, disable floating
point exceptions by default on Mac OS X.
|
|
Allow Erlang code to use sendfile() where available by wrapping it as
file:sendfile/4 and file:sendfile/2.
sendfile(2) - Linux man page:
"sendfile() copies data between one file descriptor and another.
Because this copying is done within the kernel, sendfile() is more
efficient than the combination of read(2) and write(2), which would
require transferring data to and from user space."
|
|
|
|
Also use 64-bit lib when necessary, specify runtime lib path
for secondary dependency libs, and better check before using
SIOCGIFHWADDR.
|
|
clang does not recognize the -no-cpp-precomp option and generates
a warning. -no-cpp-precomp is an obsolete Apple-specific gcc option,
which last had any effect in gcc 3.1 for Jaguar.
Since we cannot build for Jaguar anyway, the configure test added
in 8412a400e92d5cbcd is not needed.

On e.g FreeBSD the functions sctp_bindx() and sctp_peeloff() do not require
any extra linkage library flags and there is no dynamic lib to load
for them; use configure to find them.

Requires own build of wxMac for wx to work:
$ arch_flags="-arch i386"
$ ./configure CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" \
CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" LDFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" \
OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" --prefix=/usr/local \
--with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk \
--with-macosx-version-min=10.6 --enable-unicode --with-opengl
$ make
$ sudo make install
- and we have macports gcc 4.5 in /opt/local/bin, so we configure
and build OTP like this for 32bit (which is required for wx):
$ cd $ERL_TOP
$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH CC=/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.5 CXX=/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.5 ./configure --enable-m32-build

The test is not needed, because no code tests whether SETVBUF_REVERSED
is defined.
Furthermore, AC_FUNC_SETVBUF_REVERSED is now documented like this:
Do nothing. Formerly, this macro checked whether setvbuf takes the
buffering type as its second argument and the buffer pointer as the
third, instead of the other way around, and defined
SETVBUF_REVERSED. However, the last systems to have the problem were
those based on SVR2, which became obsolete in 1987, and the macro is
no longer needed.
|
|
If we are compiling on System V, the symbols NO_WEAK_PRAGMA and
SOCKOPT_CONNECT_STAT are defined, but they are never used.
|
|
We no longer include mach-o/dyld.h (because we only support
MacOS X versions that have dlopen()).
|
|
./configure --disable-fixalloc does not do anytning any longer,
since there is no longer any "fix allocators" (in the original
sense).

To avoid issues with parallel make and to slightly speed up the
build process, avoid a recursive make by replacing pcre/Makefile.in
with pcre/pcre.mk and including it from the main emulator Makefile.
