2015-11-12erts: Add support for fast erts_is_literal()Sverker Eriksson
2015-10-01erts: Fix confusion of callbacks destroying_mbc() vs remove_mbc()Sverker Eriksson
Problem #1 Goodfit was crippled by the fact that destroying_mbc() was called _before_ the carriers was unlinked from mbc_list. Problem #2 destroying_mbc() was called for carriers that later could be resurrected from dc_list without a matching call to creating_mbc(). This was mostly a practical problem for the new test case alloc_SUITE:migration that use the callbacks to create/destroy a mutex. Solution: destroying_mbc() is now only called just before a carrier is destroyed (deallocated or put in mseg cache). remove_mbc() is called both (like before) when inserted into cpool but now also when last block is freed and mbc is scheduled for destruction but may later be resurrected from dc_list.
2015-09-11erts: Fix strangeness in treatment of MSEG_ALIGN_BITSSverker Eriksson
And remove old case of using only page alignment (12 bits).

2014-10-03erts: Add pooled_list and traitor_listSverker Eriksson
2013-11-05Add switch for disabling sys_alloc carriersRickard Green
The switch "+Musac <boolean>" controls if sys_alloc carriers are allowed.

2013-09-25Merge branch 'rickard/aligned-sys_alloc-carriers/OTP-11318' into ↵Rickard Green

2013-09-25Implement platform specific aligned sys_alloc and use when supportedRickard Green
erts_sys_aligned_alloc() is currently implemented using posix_memalign if it exist, or using _aligned_malloc on Windows. If erts_sys_aligned_alloc() exist allocators will create sys_alloc carriers similar to how this was done pre-R16.

2013-06-03erts: Remove unnecessary flag arguments in allocatorsSverker Eriksson
A cleanup after SBMBC was removed.
2013-06-03erts: Remove SBMBC allocatorSverker Eriksson
2013-06-03erts: Change naive list to rb-tree of carriers in AOFF allocatorSverker Eriksson
and add new callbacks add_mbc(), remove_mbc() and largest_fblk_in_mbc() for carrier migration.
2013-06-03erts: Prepare aoff allocator for carrier migrationSverker Eriksson
by putting blocks from different carrier into separate search trees. Carriers are currently organized in a naive linked list by address order.
2013-06-03erts: Make carrier header sizes customizableSverker Eriksson
This is a modified partial revert of 2ab1d972f6fd37c17b05
2013-06-03erts: Add "bestfit within carrier" for aoff allocator (aoffcbf)Sverker Eriksson
2013-05-06erts: Change some more 'long' to pointer sized int (ErlDrvUInt)Sverker Eriksson
2012-12-14erts: Set super alignment (256kb) and limits for sbct (8Mb) and lmbcs (128Mb)Sverker Eriksson
2012-12-14erts: Force sbmbc to be disabled in a crude waySverker Eriksson
2012-12-14erts: Fix new header scheme for win64Sverker Eriksson
2012-11-21erts: Make carrier header sizes compile time constantsSverker Eriksson
No allocator strategy is using customized carrier headers anyway.
2012-11-15erts: Enable new header scheme without super alignment on 64-bitSverker Eriksson
2012-11-15erts: Add carrier pointer to header of free blockSverker Eriksson
2012-11-15erts: Save one word per block for thread preferred allocatorsSverker Eriksson
by making use of the new block header scheme to find the carrier header and thereby the allocator.
2012-11-15erts: Change single carrier block header flagsSverker Eriksson
to allow realloc to determine block size (in MBC or SBC) without having to read the footer of the previous block that might be written to by concurrent thread.
2012-11-15erts: Add carrier offset to internal allocation headersSverker Eriksson
2012-02-19Misc memory barrier fixesRickard Green
- Document barrier semantics - Introduce ddrb suffix on atomic ops - Barrier macros for both non-SMP and SMP case - Make the thread progress API a bit more intuitive
2011-12-02Iron out bugs in Win64 found in daily buildsPatrik Nyblom
Almost all uses of the 'long' datatype is removed from VM and tests Emulator test now runs w/o drivers crashing Nasty abs bug fixed in VM as well as type errors in allocator debug functions Still one allocator test that fails, domain knowledge is needed to fix that. Fix type inconsistency in beam_load causing crashes
2011-11-13Optimize memory allocationRickard Green
A number of memory allocation optimizations have been implemented. Most optimizations reduce contention caused by synchronization between threads during allocation and deallocation of memory. Most notably: * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific allocator instances has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific pre-allocators has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use scheduler specific instances instead of one instance. Apart from reducing contention this also ensures that memory allocators always create memory segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.

2010-03-10Add the BeamInstr data type for loaded BEAM codePatrik Nyblom
For cleanliness, use BeamInstr instead of the UWord data type to any machine-sized words that are used for BEAM instructions. Only use UWord for untyped words in general.
2010-03-10Store pointers to heap data in 32-bit wordsPatrik Nyblom
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.
