2017-07-06Allow toggling lock counting at runtimeJohn Högberg
The implementation is still hidden behind ERTS_ENABLE_LOCK_COUNT, and all categories are still enabled by default, but the actual counting can be toggled at will. OTP-13170
2017-05-18Make lock counter info independent of the locks being countedJohn Högberg
This allows us to enable/disable lock counting at will, and greatly improves the performance of erts_debug:lock_counters/1 since we no longer have to worry about the lock counters "dying" while we're enumerating them. OTP-14412

2017-02-13Magic indirectionRickard 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.

2016-08-29Fix tracing of processes executing dirtyRickard Green
2016-08-29Fix purge of codeRickard Green
Ensure that we cannot get any dangling pointers into code that has been purged. This is done by a two phase purge. At first phase all fun entries pointing into the code to purge are marked for purge. All processes trying to call these funs will be suspended and by this we avoid getting new direct references into the code. When all processes has been checked, these processes are resumed. The new purge strategy now also completely ignore the existence of indirect references to the code (funs). If such exist, they will cause bad fun exceptions to the caller, but will not prevent a soft purge or cause a kill of a process having such live references during a hard purge. This since it is impossible to give any guarantees that no processes in the system have such indirect references. Even when the system is completely clean from such references, new ones can appear via distribution and/or disk.

2016-04-15erts: Add 'exec_alloc' for hipe codeSverker Eriksson
that uses its own super carrier (erts_exec_mmapper) to guarantee low addressed and executable memory (PROT_EXEC). Currently only used on x86_64 that needs low memory for HiPE/AMD64's small code model. By initializing erts_exec_mapper early we secure its low memory area before erts_literal_mmapper might steal it.
2016-04-15erts: Implement tracer modulesLukas Larsson
Add the possibility to use modules as trace data receivers. The functions in the module have to be nifs as otherwise complex trace probes will be very hard to handle (complex means trace probes for ports for example). This commit changes the way that the ptab->tracer field works from always being an immediate, to now be NIL if no tracer is present or else be the tuple {TracerModule, TracerState} where TracerModule is an atom that is later used to lookup the appropriate tracer callbacks to call and TracerState is just passed to the tracer callback. The default process and port tracers have been rewritten to use the new API. This commit also changes the order which trace messages are delivered to the potential tracer process. Any enif_send done in a tracer module may be delayed indefinitely because of lock order issues. If a message is delayed any other trace message send from that process is also delayed so that order is preserved for each traced entity. This means that for some trace events (i.e. send/receive) the events may come in an unintuitive order (receive before send) to the trace receiver. Timestamps are taken when the trace message is generated so trace messages from differented processes may arrive with the timestamp out of order. Both the erlang:trace and seq_trace:set_system_tracer accept the new tracer module tracers and also the backwards compatible arguments. OTP-10267

2016-02-02erts: Add microstate accountingLukas Larsson
Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which states the threads are in and then from there figuring out why and where to optimize. Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled through configure. I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent. If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark, the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on somewhere inbetween 5-15%. OTP-12345

2015-11-12Fragmented young heap generation and off_heap_message_queue optionRickard Green
* 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.

2015-03-20Erlang based BIF timer implementation for scalabilityRickard Green
2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
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.
