2015-06-15erts: Remove hashmap probabilistic heap overestimationSverker Eriksson
by adding a dynamic heap factory. "binary_to_term" is now a hybrid solution with both a call to decoded_size() to calculate needed heap space AND possible dynamic allocation of more heap space if needed for big maps. The heap size returned from decoded_size() is guaranteed to be sufficient for all term heap data except for hashmap nodes. All hashmap nodes are created at the end of dec_term() by invoking the heap factory interface that may allocate more heap space on process heap or in fragments. With this commit it is no longer guaranteed that a message is confined to only one heap fragment.

2013-11-18Execution of system tasks in context of another processRickard Green
A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of another process will be notified by a message when the task has executed. This message will be on the form: {RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}. A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is made by calling the statically linked in NIF erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It should *only* be called from BIF implementations. Currently defined system tasks are: * garbage_collect * check_process_code Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future. The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3] BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the 'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the system will be performed solely in the context of the process being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over context switches. Newly introduced BIFs: * erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option list. Introduced option: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous garbage collect requests. * erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an option list. Introduced options: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous check process code requests. * {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort if gc should be needed). These options have been introduced as a preparation for parallelization of check_process_code operations when the code_server is about to purge a module.

2012-08-02Use thread progress instead of scheduling misc aux work were possibleRickard Green
Functionality for scheduling operations at thread progress later has been introduced. Deallocation of ETS table structures were previously done by scheduling misc aux work. Deallocation of process structures (not released yet) was also implemented this way. Instead of using the misc aux work functionality these implementation now use the newly introduced functionality for scheduling operations at thread progress later. By using this new functionaliy we reduce the amount of memory allocation/deallocation operations needed.

User tags in a dynamic trace enabled VM are spread throughout the system in the same way as seq_trace tokens. This is used by the file module and various other modules to get hold of the tag from the user process without changing the protocol.
2010-08-12Increase vheap counter to Uint64Björn-Egil Dahlberg
This will reduce the risk of integer wrapping in bin vheap counting. The vheap size series will now use the golden ratio instead of doubling and fibonacci sequences. OTP #8730

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.
2010-06-03OTP-8555 Send message from NIFSverker Eriksson
New NIF features: Send messages from a NIF, or from thread created by NIF, to any local process (enif_send) Store terms between NIF calls (enif_alloc_env, enif_make_copy) Create binary terms with user defined memory management (enif_make_resource_binary)
2010-05-11erts: Implement recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 for realBjörn Gustavsson
The recv_mark/1 instruction will both save the current position in the message queue and a mark (the address of the loop_rec/2 instruction just following the recv_set/1 instruction). The recv_mark/1 instruction will only use the saved position if the mark is correct. The reason for saving and verifying the mark is that the compiler does not need to guarantee that no other receive instruction can be executed in between the recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 instructions (the mark will be cleared by the remove_message/0 instruction when a message is removed from the message queue). That means that arbitrary function calls in between those instruction can be allowed.
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.
