This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent
erlang code in erts.
ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header
that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of
each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that
were previously used to point to these locations.
After this change the code should never use BeamInstr *
with offsets to figure out different parts of the
func_info header.
ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a
MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also
in Process->current.
All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr *
to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo
where appropriate.
The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the
ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to
make it work.

- The calling process is now suspended while synchronizing
scheduler suspends via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _)
and erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, _), instead of blocking
the scheduler thread in the BIF call waiting for the operation
to synchronize. Besides releasing the scheduler for other work
(or immediate suspend) it also makes it possible to abort the
operation by killing the process.
- erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) now only wait for normal
schedulers to complete before it returns. This since it may take
a very long time before all dirty schedulers suspends.
- erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block_normal|unblock_normal)
which only operate on normal schedulers has been introduced. This
since there are use cases where suspend of dirty schedulers are
not of interest (hipe loader).
- erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block) still blocks all
dirty schedulers as well as all normal schedulers except one since
it is hard to redefine what multi scheduling block means.
- The three operations:
- changing amount of schedulers online
- blocking/unblocking normal multi scheduling
- blocking/unblocking full multi scheduling
can now be done in parallel. This is important since otherwise
a full multi scheduling block would potentially delay the other
operations for a very long time.

* The youngest generation of the heap can now consist of multiple
blocks. Heap fragments and message fragments are added to the
youngest generation when needed without triggering a GC. After
a GC the youngest generation is contained in one single block.
* The off_heap_message_queue process flag has been added. When
enabled all message data in the queue is kept off heap. When
a message is selected from the queue, the message fragment (or
heap fragment) containing the actual message is attached to the
youngest generation. Messages stored off heap is not part of GC.

The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with
erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many
unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together
and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as
accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need
to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality
over multiple functions in order to improve on this.
The new API consists of a number of new BIFs:
- erlang:convert_time_unit/3
- erlang:monotonic_time/0
- erlang:monotonic_time/1
- erlang:system_time/0
- erlang:system_time/1
- erlang:time_offset/0
- erlang:time_offset/1
- erlang:timestamp/0
- erlang:unique_integer/0
- erlang:unique_integer/1
- os:system_time/0
- os:system_time/1
and a number of extensions of existing BIFs:
- erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service)
- erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize)
- erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source)
- erlang:system_info(time_offset)
- erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode)
- erlang:system_info(time_correction)
- erlang:system_info(start_time)
See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the
ERTS User's Guide for more information.

For cleanliness, store the trap address in p->i instead of in
p->def_arg_reg[3].
|
|
Store arguments for a trap in the X register array to allow
traps to have any number of arguments.
|
|
The current calling convention for BIFs makes it necessary to
handle each arity specially, since each argument for the BIF
also becomes an argument for the C function implementing the BIF,
which makes it hard to allow BIFs with any number of arguments.
Change the calling convention for BIFs, so that BIF arguments are
passed in an array to the C function implementing the BIF.

This commit fixes four related bugs:
- calling hibernate/3 using a dynamic call would fail with badarg
as hibernate/3 as a BIF was not implemented. hibernate/3 is generally
provided as a Beam instruction, and code is translated to use this
instruction when loaded.
- calling hibernate/3 from HiPE would fail with badarg because this
would call the aforementioned BIF which was not implemented.
- calling hibernate/3 with some HiPE-native garbage in the process heap
would randomly crash at the next garbage collect. This bug only
happened in a complex, yet reproduceable scenarios, where native code
calls beam code that calls hibernate/3, and the process has some
garbage when being hibernated and the process generates garbage when
awaken.
- when entering HiPE, the process current_function can be set and be
inaccurate.
The fix is three folded:
- hibernate_3 BIF now actually works instead of throwing a badarg. While
hibernate_3 BIF was (usually) not called from BEAM, it is called from
HiPE. hibernate behaviour is very close to the scheduler and this is why
it is implemented as an instruction in BEAM. The fix consists in doing
the actual hibernation (through the now exported erts_hibernate
function) and setting the process flag to TRAP as well as the process
status to P_WAITING. On BIF epilogue in both BEAM and HiPE, this status
is tested on TRAP and if set, the scheduler is invoked. The i_hibernate
instruction and translation code is now redundant and could be deleted.
- hibernation now also empties the HiPE native stack, with a new
function hipe_empty_nstack provided by Mikael Pettersson.
- when entering HiPE through hipe_mode_switch, p->current is cleared,
as suggested by Mikael Pettersson. p->current normally hold a pointer to
the {M,F,A} of the current function if it exists. When hibernating, it
is set to {erlang,hibernate,3}, and all stdlib hibernate tests
(gen_server_SUITE:hibernate/1, proc_lib_suite:hibernate/1, etc.)
actually rely on this information. Clearing p->current fixes the tests
and avoids the surprise one might have when querying the process info
of a process that hibernated and woke up in a native function.
Non-regression tests are provided, a test for the dynamic call as well
as a Makefile-handled duplication of the hibernate_SUITE into
hibernate_native_SUITE for the HiPE case.

It seems to work (at least on a little-endian architecture)
by sheer luck.

|
|
Store Erlang terms in 32-bit entities on the heap, expanding the
pointers to 64-bit when needed. This works because all terms are stored
on addresses in the 32-bit address range (the 32 most significant bits
of pointers to term data are always 0).
Introduce a new datatype called UWord (along with its companion SWord),
which is an integer having the exact same size as the machine word
(a void *), but might be larger than Eterm/Uint.
Store code as machine words, as the instructions are pointers to
executable code which might reside outside the 32-bit address range.
Continuation pointers are stored on the 32-bit stack and hence must
point to addresses in the low range, which means that loaded beam code
much be placed in the low 32-bit address range (but, as said earlier,
the instructions themselves are full words).
No Erlang term data can be stored on C stacks (enforced by an
earlier commit).
This version gives a prompt, but test cases still fail (and dump core).
The loader (and emulator loop) has instruction packing disabled.
The main issues has been in rewriting loader and actual virtual
machine. Subsystems (like distribution) does not work yet.
