* bjorn/fna-default/OTP-11612:
Change the default file name encoding mode to +fnaw
|
|
|

Add initial support for dirty schedulers.
There are two types of dirty schedulers: CPU schedulers and I/O
schedulers. By default, there are as many dirty CPU schedulers as there are
normal schedulers and as many dirty CPU schedulers online as normal
schedulers online. There are 10 dirty I/O schedulers (similar to the choice
of 10 as the default for async threads).
By default, dirty schedulers are disabled and conditionally compiled
out. To enable them, you must pass --enable-dirty-schedulers to the
top-level configure script when building Erlang/OTP.
Current dirty scheduler support requires the emulator to be built with SMP
support. This restriction will be lifted in the future.
You can specify the number of dirty schedulers with the command-line
options +SDcpu (for dirty CPU schedulers) and +SDio (for dirty I/O
schedulers). The +SDcpu option is similar to the +S option in that it takes
two numbers separated by a colon: C1:C2, where C1 specifies the number of
dirty schedulers available and C2 specifies the number of dirty schedulers
online. The +SDPcpu option allows numbers of dirty CPU schedulers available
and dirty CPU schedulers online to be specified as percentages, similar to
the existing +SP option for normal schedulers. The number of dirty CPU
schedulers created and dirty CPU schedulers online may not exceed the
number of normal schedulers created and normal schedulers online,
respectively. The +SDio option takes only a single number specifying the
number of dirty I/O schedulers available and online. There is no support
yet for programmatically changing at run time the number of dirty CPU
schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Also, changing the number of
normal schedulers online via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online,
NewSchedulersOnline) should ensure that there are no more dirty CPU
schedulers than normal schedulers, but this is not yet implemented. You can
retrieve the number of dirty schedulers by passing dirty_cpu_schedulers,
dirty_cpu_schedulers_online, or dirty_io_schedulers to
erlang:system_info/1.
Currently only NIFs are able to access dirty scheduler
functionality. Neither drivers nor BIFs currently support dirty
schedulers. This restriction will be addressed in the future.
If dirty scheduler support is present in the runtime, the initial status
line Erlang prints before presenting its interactive prompt will include
the indicator "[ds:C1:C2:I]" where "ds" indicates "dirty schedulers", "C1"
indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, "C2" indicates the
number of dirty CPU schedulers online, and "I" indicates the number of
dirty I/O schedulers.
Document The dirty NIF API in the erl_nif man page. The API closely follows
Rickard Green's presentation slides from his talk "Future Extensions to the
Native Interface", presented at the 2011 Erlang Factory held in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Rickard's slides are available online at
http://bit.ly/1m34UHB .
Document the new erl command-line options, the additions to
erlang:system_info/1, and also add the erlang:system_flag/2 dirty scheduler
documentation even though it's not yet implemented.
To determine whether the dirty NIF API is available, native code can check
to see whether the C preprocessor macro ERL_NIF_DIRTY_SCHEDULER_SUPPORT is
defined. To check if dirty schedulers are available at run time, native
code can call the boolean enif_have_dirty_schedulers() function, and Erlang
code can call erlang:system_info(dirty_cpu_schedulers), which raises
badarg if no dirty scheduler support is available.
Add a simple dirty NIF test to the emulator NIF suite.

* blt/doc_language_improvement:
Clean up some awkward wording around the +spp flag.
OTP-11607
|
|
For more information see documentation of the new command line argument +sub
|
|
This issue was pointed out by lpgauth in #erlounge. While the intention is
clear, the original wording was a bit dodgy. I'm no grammarian--though I am a
native speaker--so it's quite possible the new wording I've introduced is not
impeachable. Should be idiomatic, though.

Update preloaded
add system_info(ets_limit)
Conflicts:

Add system_info(ets_limit) to provide a way to retrieve the runtime's
maximum number of ETS tables. Add tests and documentation for it too.
Also repair the alphabetical order of system_info/1 argument descriptions
in the documentation and in the erlang.erl clauses. Add new preloaded
erlang.erl due to that change. Also ensure all system_info/1 clauses are
represented in the erlang.xml source documentation -- a couple had been
inadvertently dropped in previous commits when other clauses were added.

* maint:
add erl option to set schedulers by percentages
|
|
For applications where measurements show enhanced performance from the use
of a non-default number of emulator scheduler threads, having to accurately
set the right number of scheduler threads across multiple hosts each with
different numbers of logical processors is difficult because the erl +S
option requires absolute numbers of scheduler threads and scheduler threads
online to be specified.
To address this issue, add a +SP option to erl, similar to the existing +S
option but allowing the number of scheduler threads and scheduler threads
online to be set as percentages of logical processors configured and
logical processors available, respectively. For example, "+SP 50:25" sets
the number of scheduler threads to 50% of the logical processors
configured, and the number of scheduler threads online to 25% of the
logical processors available. The +SP option also interacts with any
settings specified with the +S option, such that the combination of options
"+S 4:4 +SP 50:50" (in either order) results in 2 scheduler threads and 2
scheduler threads online.
Add documentation for the +SP option.
Add tests for the +SP option to scheduler_SUITE.
Add tests and documentation for two existing features of the +S option: +S
0:0 resets the scheduler thread count and scheduler threads online count to
their defaults, and specifying negative numbers for +S results in those
values being subtracted from the default values for the host.

erts: Add the +sfwi system flag
|
|
+sfwi Interval
Set scheduler forced wakeup interval. All run queues will be scanned
each Interval milliseconds. While there are sleeping schedulers in
the system, one scheduler will be woken for each non-empty run queue
found. An Interval of zero disables this feature, which also is the
default.
This feature has been introduced as a temporary workaround for lengthy
executing native code, and native code that do not bump reductions
properly in OTP. When these bugs have be fixed the +sfwi flag will
be removed.

These were documented in the stdlib user's guide, but not in the

The hybrid heap emulator was last working in the non-SMP R11B
run-time system. When the constant pools were introduced in R12B,
the hybrid heap emulator was not updated to handle them.
At this point, the harm from reduced readability of the code is
greater than any potential usefulness of keeping the code.
