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.

* rickard/barriers/OTP-9281: Silence warnings Fix build with hipe on amd64 Reduce number of atomic ops Use 32-bit atomic for port snapshot Remove pointless erts_ports_alive variable Ensure quick break Ensure that all rehashing information are seen when done Ensure that stack updates are seen when stack is released Add needed barriers for write_concurrency tables Homogenize memory barriers on atomics

Ets tables using ordered_set could potentially get into an internally inconsistent state.
2011-05-06ETS usage of erts_printf %RSverker Eriksson
2011-05-06Another halfword is_same-bug for ETS ordered_setSverker Eriksson
This one is less likely to provoke error as one of the terms is always NULL-based.

2011-02-03HALFWORD ETS relative termsSverker Eriksson
In halfword emulator, make ETS use a variant of the internal term format that uses relative offsets instead of absolute pointers. This will allow storage in high memory (>4G). Preprocessor macros (like list_val_rel(TERM,BASE)) are used to make normal (fullword) emulator almost completely unchanged while still reusing most of the code.
2010-11-22ETS 'compressed' option.Sverker Eriksson
The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format (term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one extra word for "alloc_size").
2010-08-19Remove binary overhead counter from ets objectsPatrik Nyblom
As the overhead counter got larger and never really was needed in ets objects, I removed them. A few stray comments of XXX:PaN type from halfword dev removed in the process.

* sverker/one_offheap_list/OTP-8737: One off-heap list, to eliminate two words per ETS object.
2010-07-20One off-heap list, to eliminate two words per ETS object.Sverker Eriksson
Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per ETS object.
2010-07-07Fix ets:select hanging on ordered_set with empty list as key.Sverker Eriksson
erl_db_tree.c incorrectly used NIL (empty list) as "lastkey" to mark start of the iteration. A real NIL key could then cause a select or match iteration to be restarted over and over again if the last key before a trap happended to be NIL. Changed NIL to THE_NON_VALUE. Should be ok as the initial key value can never be put into any continuation tuple.
2010-03-10Make tracing and distribution workPatrik Nyblom
Rewrite trace code and external coding. Also slightly correct the interface to the match-spec engine to make tracing work. That will make the test suites runnable.
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.
