2014-01-28initial support for dirty schedulers and dirty NIFsSteve Vinoski
Add initial support for dirty schedulers. There are two types of dirty schedulers: CPU schedulers and I/O schedulers. By default, there are as many dirty CPU schedulers as there are normal schedulers and as many dirty CPU schedulers online as normal schedulers online. There are 10 dirty I/O schedulers (similar to the choice of 10 as the default for async threads). By default, dirty schedulers are disabled and conditionally compiled out. To enable them, you must pass --enable-dirty-schedulers to the top-level configure script when building Erlang/OTP. Current dirty scheduler support requires the emulator to be built with SMP support. This restriction will be lifted in the future. You can specify the number of dirty schedulers with the command-line options +SDcpu (for dirty CPU schedulers) and +SDio (for dirty I/O schedulers). The +SDcpu option is similar to the +S option in that it takes two numbers separated by a colon: C1:C2, where C1 specifies the number of dirty schedulers available and C2 specifies the number of dirty schedulers online. The +SDPcpu option allows numbers of dirty CPU schedulers available and dirty CPU schedulers online to be specified as percentages, similar to the existing +SP option for normal schedulers. The number of dirty CPU schedulers created and dirty CPU schedulers online may not exceed the number of normal schedulers created and normal schedulers online, respectively. The +SDio option takes only a single number specifying the number of dirty I/O schedulers available and online. There is no support yet for programmatically changing at run time the number of dirty CPU schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Also, changing the number of normal schedulers online via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, NewSchedulersOnline) should ensure that there are no more dirty CPU schedulers than normal schedulers, but this is not yet implemented. You can retrieve the number of dirty schedulers by passing dirty_cpu_schedulers, dirty_cpu_schedulers_online, or dirty_io_schedulers to erlang:system_info/1. Currently only NIFs are able to access dirty scheduler functionality. Neither drivers nor BIFs currently support dirty schedulers. This restriction will be addressed in the future. If dirty scheduler support is present in the runtime, the initial status line Erlang prints before presenting its interactive prompt will include the indicator "[ds:C1:C2:I]" where "ds" indicates "dirty schedulers", "C1" indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, "C2" indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers online, and "I" indicates the number of dirty I/O schedulers. Document The dirty NIF API in the erl_nif man page. The API closely follows Rickard Green's presentation slides from his talk "Future Extensions to the Native Interface", presented at the 2011 Erlang Factory held in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rickard's slides are available online at http://bit.ly/1m34UHB . Document the new erl command-line options, the additions to erlang:system_info/1, and also add the erlang:system_flag/2 dirty scheduler documentation even though it's not yet implemented. To determine whether the dirty NIF API is available, native code can check to see whether the C preprocessor macro ERL_NIF_DIRTY_SCHEDULER_SUPPORT is defined. To check if dirty schedulers are available at run time, native code can call the boolean enif_have_dirty_schedulers() function, and Erlang code can call erlang:system_info(dirty_cpu_schedulers), which raises badarg if no dirty scheduler support is available. Add a simple dirty NIF test to the emulator NIF suite.

2012-10-09crypto: Make unloading of crypto saferSverker Eriksson
Facts: crypto nif-lib registers callback functions that openssl uses for memory management and thread synchronization. The callback functions can only be set once, openssl does not allow changing the callback functions. Problem: If openssl is dynamicly linked to crypto, you might get s scenario where the crypto lib is unloaded while leaving openssl loaded with its old pointers to the unloaded crypto code intact. If crypto is then reloaded (by init:restart() for example), the crypto nif-lib might get relocated at a different address. crypto calls openssl which in turn calls the old invalid callback functions...kaboom. Solution: Break apart the callback functions into a separate dynamic lib that crypto loads with dlopen. When crypto is unloaded the callback lib is left in place to be reused if/when crypto is loaded again.

2012-08-17Relocate bodies of DTrace probes to the statically-linked VM.Scott Lystig Fritchie
Due to various operating systems (in both the DTrace and SystemTap worlds) not fully supporting DTrace probes (or SystemTap-compatibility mode probes) in shared libraries, we relocate those probes to the statically-linked virtual machine. This could be seen as pollution of the pristine VM by a (yet) experimental feature. However: 1. This code can be eliminated completely by the C preprocessor. 2. Leaving the probes in the dyntrace NIF shared library simply does not work correctly on too many platforms. *Many* thanks to Macneil Shonle at Basho for assisting when my RSI-injured fingers gave out. Tested on: * CentOS 5, SystemTap 1.3 * Solaris 10 (note) * Solaris 11 * OpenIndiana 151 * SmartOS 20120809T221258Z * FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE (note) I had hoped to be able to test CentOS 6 + SystemTap 1.7, but the details of dealing with all dependencies for a 2.6.32-279.5.1.el6.x86_64 kernel are too time consuming right now. (note: Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE can take a long time to compile)
2012-06-25Change the data structures for breakpointsBjörn Gustavsson
Change the data structures for breakpoints to make it possible (in a future commit) to manage breakpoints without taking down the system to single-scheduling mode. The current "breakpoint wheel" data structure (a circular, double-linked list of breakpoints) was invented before the SMP emulator. To support it in the SMP emulator, there is essentially one breakpoint wheel per scheduler. As more breakpoint types have been added, the implementation has become messy and hard to understand and maintain. Therefore, the time for a rewrite has come. Use one struct to hold all breakpoint data for a breakpoint in a function. Use a flag field to indicate what different type of break actions that are enabled.

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.

2012-02-23erts: Refactor code loading with renamingSverker Eriksson
Rename lock_code_ix as seize_code_write_permission. Don't want to call it a "lock" as it can be held between schedulings and different threads and is not managed by lock checker. Rename "activate" staging as "commit" staging. Why not be consistent and use git terminology all the way.
2012-02-23erts: Seize code_ix lock when updating trace settingsSverker Eriksson
We want to avoid the race when trace settings are done in the time gap while a code stager process is waiting for thread process before commiting and releasing code_ix lock.

2011-11-25Fix clang linking problemBjörn Gustavsson
Inlining was not done in a portable way. clang follows the C99 semantics for inlining ('inline' essentially implies 'static' in C99, but not in GCC), so bp_sched2ix() was not visible outside beam_bp.c. Since the function need to be used from more than one source file, put the function definition in the beam_bp.h header file. Also, give it an 'erts_' prefix since it is globally visible.

* rickard/thr-progress-block/OTP-9631: Replace system block with thread progress block
2011-11-13Replace system block with thread progress blockRickard Green
The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by new functionality for blocking the system. The old system block functionality had contention issues and complexity issues. The new functionality piggy-backs on thread progress tracking functionality needed by newly introduced lock-free synchronization in the runtime system. When the functionality for blocking the system isn't used there is more or less no overhead at all. This since the functionality for tracking thread progress is there and needed anyway.
