2018-12-07Mark free blocks in pooled carriers as unused (MADV_FREE)John Högberg
This lets the OS reclaim the physical memory associated with these blocks which reduces the impact of long-lived awkward allocations. A small allocated block will still keep a huge carrier alive, but the unused part of the carrier will now be available to the OS. Co-authored-by: Dmytro Lytovchenko <[email protected]>

2018-05-22erts: Let allocator pooled_tree also use Age OrderSverker Eriksson
if configured for the allocator. This was not implemented and pooled_tree always used address order first fit. The "problem" was as a carrier can be part of both the pooled tree (of its owner) and the allocation tree (of a foreign instance) at the same time. Solved by duplicating 'birth_time' in both AOFF_RBTree_t nodes for each carrier. Blocks still cannot use age order and does not pay any memory cost for birth_time.
2018-04-23erts: Rewrite memory instrumentationJohn Högberg
This commit replaces the old memory instrumentation with a new implementation that scans carriers instead of wrapping erts_alloc/erts_free. The old implementation could not extract information without halting the emulator, had considerable runtime overhead, and the memory maps it produced were noisy and lacked critical information. Since the new implementation walks through existing data structures there's no longer a need to start the emulator with special flags to get information about carrier utilization/fragmentation. Memory fragmentation is also easier to diagnose as it's presented on a per-carrier basis which eliminates the need to account for "holes" between mmap segments. To help track allocations, each allocation can now be tagged with what it is and who allocated it at the cost of one extra word per allocation. This is controlled on a per-allocator basis with the +M<S>atags option, and is enabled by default for binary_alloc and driver_alloc (which is also used by NIFs).

2017-12-20erts: Improve carrier pool searchSverker Eriksson
* Give back carrier to owner when put in pool with use of dd-queue. * Replace pooled_list with pooled_tree for more efficient search of all owned pooled carriers. * Remove traitor_list as it does not serve much purpose anymore. * Add HOMECOMING bit flag in crr->allctr atomic to (1) avoid double enqueue into dd-enqueue. (2) trigger read barrier in get_used_allctr for newly received carriers.
2017-12-20erts: Refactor carrier dealloc migrationSverker Eriksson
by adding a dedicated 'homecoming_dd_block' to use in dd-queue. + Preparation for dd-queue-migration of non-empty carriers. + Get rid of ugly hack where blk->carrier pointer is overwritten by dd-queue and then have to be restored.

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.

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.
