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.

ASSERT(code_writing_process != c_p);
The assert was actually harmless and could be removed as one solution.
But I think it's better to keep it as a way to catch bugs that would
otherwise lead to horrible deadlocks if a thread "forgets" to call
erts_release_code_write_permission().
As a result erts_release_code_write_permission() must be called BEFORE
resuming the suspended process.

* sverk/code-load-refactor-later-op:
erts: Fix faulty lock check assert
erts: Refactor naming regarding code_write_permission
erts: Refactor tracing to use erts_schedule_thr_prgr_later_op
erts: Allow thr_prgr_later_op to reschedule
erts: Refactor code loading to use erts_schedule_thr_prgr_later_op
erts: Remove some compiler warnings
|

The concept of code_write_permission is used by tracing as well
and is not specific to code_ix.

Attempting to turn off local call trace when there was global call
trace enabled would incorrectly turn off the global call trace.
This bug was introduced in bf5bf8b93dccca86c4775b21ee0db49eb6a3b133.

Calls to erlang:set_trace_pattern/3 will no longer block all
other schedulers.
We will still go to single-scheduler mode when new code is loaded
for a module that is traced, or when loading code when there is a
default trace pattern set. That is not impossible to fix, but that
requires much closer cooperation between tracing BIFs and the loader
BIFs.
|
|
To allow us to manage breakpoints without going to single-scheduler
mode, we will need to update the breakpoints in several stages with
memory barriers in between each stage. Prepare for that by splitting
up the breakpoint setting and clearing functions into several smaller
functions.
|
|
Change the data structures for breakpoints to make it possible
(in a future commit) to manage breakpoints without taking down the
system to single-scheduling mode.
The current "breakpoint wheel" data structure (a circular,
double-linked list of breakpoints) was invented before the
SMP emulator. To support it in the SMP emulator, there is essentially
one breakpoint wheel per scheduler. As more breakpoint types have
been added, the implementation has become messy and hard to understand
and maintain.
Therefore, the time for a rewrite has come. Use one struct to hold
all breakpoint data for a breakpoint in a function. Use a flag field
to indicate what different type of break actions that are enabled.

User tags in a dynamic trace enabled VM are spread throughout the system
in the same way as seq_trace tokens. This is used by the file module
and various other modules to get hold of the tag from the user process
without changing the protocol.
|
|
Rename lock_code_ix as seize_code_write_permission. Don't want to call
it a "lock" as it can be held between schedulings and different threads
and is not managed by lock checker.
Rename "activate" staging as "commit" staging. Why not be consistent
and use git terminology all the way.
|
|
We want to avoid the race when trace settings are done in the time gap
while a code stager process is waiting for thread process before
commiting and releasing code_ix lock.
|
|
Made on_load-tracing always set after commit on active
code_ix when system is still blocked.
Bug caused cprof_SUITE:on_load to fail.

* rickard/thr-progress-block/OTP-9631:
Replace system block with thread progress block
|
|
The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by
new functionality for blocking the system. The old system block
functionality had contention issues and complexity issues. The
new functionality piggy-backs on thread progress tracking functionality
needed by newly introduced lock-free synchronization in the runtime
system. When the functionality for blocking the system isn't used
there is more or less no overhead at all. This since the functionality
for tracking thread progress is there and needed anyway.
|
|
As a preparation for changing the calling convention for
BIFs, make sure that all BIFs use the macros. Also, eliminate
all calls from one BIF to another, since that also breaks
the calling convention abstraction.

Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into
one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per
ETS object.
|
|
|
|
call_time trace will use instruction pointers instead of
breakpoint data pointers. More costly lookup but the bdt
structure might be deallocated, we do not want that.
Remove unnecessary pattern lock.
|
|
|
|
Call time breakpoint tracing traces per call trace per process.
- Add hashes to support the extra dimension.
- Teach trace_info/2 to handle the extra information dimension.
|

Initial commit with a new breakpoint instruction and PSD areas
for temporary time storage during tracing.

|
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.
|

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.

This is the first step in the implementation of the half-word emulator,
a 64-bit emulator where all pointers to heap data will be stored
in 32-bit words. Code specific for this emulator variant is
conditionally compiled when the HALFWORD_HEAP define has
a non-zero value.
First force all pointers to heap data to fall into a single 32-bit range,
but still store them in 64-bit words.
Temporary term data stored on C stack is moved into scheduler specific
storage (allocated as heaps) and macros are added to make this
happen only in emulators where this is needed. For a vanilla VM the
temporary terms are still stored on the C stack.
