2013-04-11erts: Change locking order for "port_table" and "port_sched_lock"Sverker Eriksson
Keep order between the two but move them before all the allocation locks. Old order violated for "port_table" lock in ptab_list_bif_engine().

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

2012-07-31Use static allocation of process lock queuesRickard Green
By using statically allocated lock queues there is no longer any need for locking corresponding pix lock when process locks have been transferred after a wait. This costs us 3 words extra in process structure, but improves performance during contention.

This will prevent blocking entrire schedulers in the rare case when several processes are racing to load/upgrade/delete/purge code.

Implemented some code_ix locks and commented calls to erts_smp_thr_progress_block()
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.
2011-11-18Fix warning when lock-checker is enabledRickard Green
2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for async threadsRickard Green
Queues used for communication between async threads and scheduler threads have been replaced with lock-free queues. Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not automatically locked to the system anymore, and can be unloaded as any dynamically linked in driver. Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved in between other jobs. Previously all ready async jobs was performed at once.
2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for misc aux workRickard Green
2011-11-13Optimize memory allocationRickard Green
A number of memory allocation optimizations have been implemented. Most optimizations reduce contention caused by synchronization between threads during allocation and deallocation of memory. Most notably: * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific allocator instances has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific pre-allocators has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use scheduler specific instances instead of one instance. Apart from reducing contention this also ensures that memory allocators always create memory segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.

Ensure that all threads potentially accessing an ETS-table have dropped all references to the table before deallocating it.

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.
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable thread library used by the runtime system itself. Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock implementation which dramatically improve the performance of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the `{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information. The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations on more platforms than before. Use the `--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/ The changed API of the ethread library has also caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done since it depends on the ethread library. Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you need to pass the `--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command line argument when configuring the system.
2010-06-03Teach call_time trace to use intruction pointersBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
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.
2010-03-10Add a custom mmap wrapper to force heaps into the lower address rangePatrik Nyblom
The free list is still rudimentary for the mmap wrapper and a better implementation will be needed for production quality.
2010-03-10Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address rangePatrik Nyblom
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.

2010-01-30Merge branch 'mp/hipe-smp-fixes' into ccase/r13b04_devErlang/OTP
* mp/hipe-smp-fixes: work around hipe_mfa_info_table lock omission fix hipe loader SMP non-atomicity error OTP-8397 The loading of native code was not properly atomic in the SMP emulator, which could cause crashes. Also a per-MFA information table for the native code has now been protected with a lock since it turns that it could be accessed concurrently in the SMP emulator. (Thanks to Mikael Pettersson.)
2010-01-27work around hipe_mfa_info_table lock omissionMikael Pettersson
HiPE maintains per-MFA information such as native code entry point in a table. This table was thought to be read-only at runtime, except when the loader populates it, so it employed no locking. That turned out to be incorrect: if there is an apply of a previously unseen MFA, a native code stub for that MFA is created and recorded in the table, causing it to grow. Work around this for now by slapping a mutex around accesses to that table. Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <[email protected]>
