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.

Fix call time tracing with dirty schedulers

This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent
erlang code in erts.
ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header
that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of
each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that
were previously used to point to these locations.
After this change the code should never use BeamInstr *
with offsets to figure out different parts of the
func_info header.
ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a
MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also
in Process->current.
All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr *
to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo
where appropriate.
The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the
ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to
make it work.

This fixes a fault introduced in 19.0 where an invalid
tracer would block setting of a new tracer on a process.
|
|
Make it so that it is only possible to remove a tracer via
returning remove from an erl_tracer. This limition is put in
place in order to avoid a lot of lock checking and taking
in various places, especially in regards to trace events
happening on dirty schedulers.

All 'EXIT' and monitor messages are sent from 'system'

and non-call-trace.
This is the easy way out to avoid difficult locking
scenarios when accessing tracing flags on another process.

with uppercase for constants
and why not call them 'RESTART' and 'PAUSE' as the API.
|
|
|
|
This is needed as otherwise messages from system_profile
will not be guaranteed to arrive before trace delivered.
|
|
This commit completes the tracing for processes so that
all messages sent by a process (via nifs or otherwise) will
be traced.
The commit also adds tracing of all types of events from ports.
When enabling tracing using erlang:trace, the 'all' flag now also
enables tracing on all ports.

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.

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.

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.
