* margnus1/erts/fix-hipe-literal-gc/PR-1122/OTP-13777: check_process_code: Sweep HiPE stack for literals
2016-07-14erts: Fix msacc for dirty scheduler and heap_limitLukas Larsson
2016-07-06check_process_code: Sweep HiPE stack for literalsMagnus Lång
Because check_process_code neglected checking the HiPE stack for references to the literal area, such references would survive the purge and subsequent deletion of a module and its literal area. These dangling references would then cause incorrect behaviour or even hard crashes of the VM. By simply adding a scan of the HiPE stack to check_process_code and erts_garbage_collect_literals, this problem is fixed. In order to support full stack walks without deleting the graylimit trap, a new stack walking interface function, nstack_walk_init_sdesc_ignore_trap() was introduced.

The same bug was fixed for OTP 18 in cb62c989e59f0ec8556f9f1d4e9a45b by provoking yet another GC. But now in 19 we are ok with heap fragments so just remove the asserts.

2016-05-11erts: Fix non-smp max_heap_size assertLukas Larsson
2016-05-10erts: Implement max_heap_size process flagLukas Larsson
The max_heap_size process flag can be used to limit the growth of a process heap by killing it before it becomes too large to handle. It is possible to set the maximum using the `erl +hmax` option, `system_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`, `spawn_opt(Fun, [{max_heap_size, ...}])` and `process_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`. It is possible to configure the behaviour of the process when the maximum heap size is reached. The process may be sent an untrappable exit signal with reason kill and/or send an error_logger message with details on the process state. A new trace event called gc_max_heap_size is also triggered for the garbage_collection trace flag when the heap grows larger than the configured size. If kill and error_logger are disabled, it is still possible to see that the maximum has been reached by doing garbage collection tracing on the process. The heap size is defined as the sum of the heap memory that the process is currently using. This includes all generational heaps, the stack, any messages that are considered to be part of the heap and any extra memory the garbage collector may need during collection. In the current implementation this means that when a process is set using on_heap message queue data mode, the messages that are in the internal message queue are counted towards this value. For off_heap, only matched messages count towards the size of the heap. For mixed, it depends on race conditions within the VM whether a message is part of the heap or not. Below is an example run of the new behaviour: Eshell V8.0 (abort with ^G) 1> f(P),P = spawn_opt(fun() -> receive ok -> ok end end, [{max_heap_size, 512}]). <0.60.0> 2> erlang:trace(P, true, [garbage_collection, procs]). 1 3> [P ! lists:duplicate(M,M) || M <- lists:seq(1,15)],ok. ok 4> =ERROR REPORT==== 26-Apr-2016::16:25:10 === Process: <0.60.0> Context: maximum heap size reached Max heap size: 512 Total heap size: 723 Kill: true Error Logger: true GC Info: [{old_heap_block_size,0}, {heap_block_size,609}, {mbuf_size,145}, {recent_size,0}, {stack_size,9}, {old_heap_size,0}, {heap_size,211}, {bin_vheap_size,0}, {bin_vheap_block_size,46422}, {bin_old_vheap_size,0}, {bin_old_vheap_block_size,46422}] flush().

2016-04-15erts: Implement tracer modulesLukas Larsson
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. OTP-10267

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).
2016-02-02erts: Add microstate accountingLukas Larsson
Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which states the threads are in and then from there figuring out why and where to optimize. Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled through configure. I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent. If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark, the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on somewhere inbetween 5-15%. OTP-12345

2015-12-08Distinguish between GC disabled by BIFs and other disabled GCRickard Green
Processes remember heap fragments that are known to be fully live due to creation in a just called BIF that yields in the live_hf_end field. This field must not be used if we have not disabled GC in a BIF. F_DELAY_GC has been introduced in order to distinguish between to two different scenarios. - F_DISABLE_GC should *only* be used by BIFs. This when the BIF needs to yield while preventig a GC. - F_DELAY_GC should only be used when GC is temporarily disabled while the process is scheduled. A process must not be scheduled out while F_DELAY_GC is set.

Add functions size_shared, copy_shared_calculate and copy_shared_perform. Add the infrastructure for making these communicate with each other. Add debug information to other places in the VM, to watch interaction with the sharing-preserving copy. CAUTION: If you define the SHCOPY_DEBUG macro (after SHCOPY is actually used in the VM) and make the whole OTP, there will be a lot of debugging messages during make (it will also be enabled in erlc). You have been warned...
