2016-02-24erts: Change erl_exit into erts_exitSverker Eriksson
This is mostly a pure refactoring. Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT. Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, ) ------- ------------------- ------------------------------------------- exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0 crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0 The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have changed).

2014-02-24Added support for ENEA OSELukas Larsson
This port has support for both non-smp and smp. It contains a new way to do io checking in which erts_poll_wait receives the payload of the polled entity. This has implications for all linked-in drivers.

2011-12-01Remove common run-queue in SMP caseRickard Green
The common run-queue implementation is removed since it is unused, untested, undocumented, unsupported, and only complicates the code. A spinlock used by the run-queue management sometimes got heavily contended. This code has now been rewritten, and the spinlock has been removed.
2011-11-18Use unbound schedulers as defaultRickard Green
As of ERTS version 5.9 (OTP-R15B) the runtime system will by default not bind schedulers to logical processors. If the Erlang runtime system is the only operating system process that binds threads to logical processors, this improves the performance of the runtime system. However, if other operating system processes (as for example another Erlang runtime system) also bind threads to logical processors, there might be a performance penalty instead. In some cases this performance penalty might be severe. Due to this, we change the default so that the user must make an active decision in order to bind schedulers.
2011-06-14Use new atomic API in runtime systemRickard Green
All uses of the old deprecated atomic API in the runtime system have been replaced with the use of the new atomic API. In a lot of places this change imply a relaxation of memory barriers used.

2010-11-18Generalize reader groupsRickard Green
Reader groups have been generalized to cpu groups which can be used for implementing reader groups, but also for implementing other functionality in the future.
