2014-01-28initial support for dirty schedulers and dirty NIFsSteve Vinoski
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.

2014-01-07erts: Fix bs_get_integer instructionBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The instruction bs_get_integer could unnecessarily trigger a garbage collection in failure cases which is unwanted or outright dangerous. Ex: <<X:Sz,_/bits>> = <<"some binary">> Previously, if Sz induced X to a bignum it would reserved memory size this on the heap via a garbage collection before checking if the size could actually match. It will now check the binary size before triggering a collection.
2013-09-12Remove ^L characters hidden randomly in the code. Not those used in text ↵Pierre Fenoll
files as delimiters. While working on a tool that processes Erlang code and testing it against this repo, I found out about those little sneaky 0xff. I thought it may be of help to other people build such tools to remove non-conforming-to-standard characters.

2012-06-25Don't go to single-scheduler mode when managing breakpointsBjörn Gustavsson
Calls to erlang:set_trace_pattern/3 will no longer block all other schedulers. We will still go to single-scheduler mode when new code is loaded for a module that is traced, or when loading code when there is a default trace pattern set. That is not impossible to fix, but that requires much closer cooperation between tracing BIFs and the loader BIFs.
2012-06-25Change the data structures for breakpointsBjörn Gustavsson
Change the data structures for breakpoints to make it possible (in a future commit) to manage breakpoints without taking down the system to single-scheduling mode. The current "breakpoint wheel" data structure (a circular, double-linked list of breakpoints) was invented before the SMP emulator. To support it in the SMP emulator, there is essentially one breakpoint wheel per scheduler. As more breakpoint types have been added, the implementation has become messy and hard to understand and maintain. Therefore, the time for a rewrite has come. Use one struct to hold all breakpoint data for a breakpoint in a function. Use a flag field to indicate what different type of break actions that are enabled.

2012-05-10Remove stale code for hybrid heap and incremental GCBjörn Gustavsson
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.
