2017-04-11erts: Init refc=1 in erts_bin_nrml_allocSverker Eriksson
Only term_to_binary needed some extra attention as it used to initialize refc as 0 instead of 1.

2017-02-14erts: Add deallocation veto for magic destructorsSverker Eriksson
A magic destructor can return 0 and thereby take control and prolong the lifetime of a magic binary.

2017-02-06Use magic refs for list_to_binary/binary_to_list trapsRickard Green
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.

2016-02-24erts: Change erl_exit into erts_exitSverker Eriksson
This is mostly a pure refactoring. Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT. Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, ) ------- ------------------- ------------------------------------------- exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0 crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0 The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have changed).
2015-11-12Improve yield strategy for list_to_binary()/binary_to_list()Rickard Green
Avoid yield in the BIF when input is small. This either yielding before beginning to work in the BIF, or by allowing some more reductions before yielding.

2014-09-04erts: Refactor binary allocation interface to also initialize BinarySverker Eriksson
except the reference counter 'refc', as different callers have different strategies regarding the lifetime of the binary.

2013-04-30erts: Use fast path for list_to_binary([Bin]) caseBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
A common case is to wrap an argument to list_to_binary in a list to ensure conversion can happen even though the argument may already be a binary. Use fast path for this case.

2011-05-10Fix overflow in list_to_bitstring/1Björn Gustavsson
Noticed-by: Jon Meredith
2011-05-10Replace io_list_len() with erts_iolist_size()Björn Gustavsson
The io_list_len() function returns an int, where a negative return value indicates a type error. One problem is that an int only consists of 32 bits in a 64-bit emulator. Changing the return type to Sint will solve that problem, but in the 32-bit emulator, a large iolist and a iolist with a type error will both return a negative number. (Noticed by Jon Meredith.) Another problem is that for iolists whose total size exceed the word size, the result would be truncated, leading to a subsequent buffer overflow and emulator crash. Therefore, introduce the new erts_iolist_size() function which returns a status indication and writes the result size through a passed pointer. If the result size does not fit in a word, return an overflow indication.

2011-03-09Fix 18 exabyte memory allocation failureBjörn Gustavsson
The new_binary() function takes a size argument that is an int. In the 64-bit emulator (sizeof(int) == 4, sizeof(Uint) == 8), any sizes >= 0x8000000 become 0xffffffff80000000 and above and triggers a memory allocation failure. Change the type of the size argument to Uint, and change any callers that cast the argument to an int. Correction-by: Jon Meredith

2010-08-12Increase vheap counter to Uint64Björn-Egil Dahlberg
This will reduce the risk of integer wrapping in bin vheap counting. The vheap size series will now use the golden ratio instead of doubling and fibonacci sequences. OTP #8730
2010-07-20One off-heap list, to eliminate two words per ETS object.Sverker Eriksson
Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per ETS object.

2010-03-10Fix further test-suite problemsPatrik Nyblom
Fix safe_mul in the loader, which caused failures in the bit syntax test cases. Fix yet another Uint in erl_alloc.h (ERTS_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) causing segmentation fault when we have many schedulers (why only in that situation?). Clean up erl_mseg (remove old code for the Linux 32-bit mmap flag). While at it, also remove compilation warnings.
