2018-08-03erts: Fix seq_trace to not clear token for system messagesLukas Larsson
A lot of erts internal messages used behind APIs to create non-blocking calls, e.g. port_command, would cause the seq_trace token to be cleared from the caller when it should not. This commit fixes that and adds asserts that makes sure that all messages sent have to correct token set. Fixes: ERL-602

I did not find any legitimate use of "can not", however skipped changing e.g RFCs archived in the source tree.

2018-04-26erts: Optimize monitor signal by message piggybackSverker Eriksson
If no message/signal is sent (to same destination) then monitor signal is flushed when process is scheduled out.
2018-04-16erts: Keep track of which NIF a scheduler is executingJohn Högberg
This may be of interest in crash dumps and allows the upcoming allocation tagging feature to track allocations on a per-NIF basis. Note that this is only updated when user code calls a NIF; it's not altered when the emulator calls NIFs during code upgrades or tracing.

2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system implementation has however previously preformed most operation synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support) it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention issues. The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations of (almost) all signals have been changed. Currently the following signals have been implemented as true asynchronous signals: - Message signals - Exit signals - Monitor signals - Demonitor signals - Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc) - Link signals - Unlink signals - Group leader signals All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the language. The implementation of messages signals was quite asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes. The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file. The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

2018-02-26Make enif_make_binary return heap binaries if possibleJohn Högberg
This does not avoid allocating a ProcBin since we still need to release the binary somehow (and using the tmp obj list is slightly slower since it's an unavoidable off-heap allocation), but it does give us a hard limit on how long said ProcBin will live, which is a lot better than before. OTP-14845
2018-02-26Unconditionally transfer ownership to the created termJohn Högberg
This fixes two corner-cases: 1) We will no longer return an invalid term when a binary inspected on environment A is used in enif_make_binary on environment B 2) A double-free in this sequence of events: * enif_alloc_binary(size, &bin); * enif_ioq_enq_binary(ioq, &bin, skip); * enif_make_binary(env, &bin); * enif_make_binary(env, &bin); OTP-14931 OTP-14932
2018-02-26Tweak asserts and explain why the copy buf doesn't use the tmp obj listJohn Högberg
2018-02-26Free temporary iovecs through the tmp object listJohn Högberg
Attaching to a ProcBin is the fastest way to delay the release of an already allocated Binary, but alloc_tmp_obj is a lot faster when starting from scratch since it usually uses temp_alloc.

2017-12-06"Fix" tracing of dirty NIFs on debug buildsJohn Högberg
When a dirty NIF is executed a "schedule in" trace event is generated, which may in turn result in a generic system task being created, causing the process to be scheduled out as it can't run dirty with pending tasks. This is usually fine since said system task is seldom created, but ERTS_FORCE_ENIF_SEND_DELAY was de-facto always on for debug builds, causing the process to bounce between dirty and normal schedulers forever. This commit is not a complete fix and it can go off the rails even on normal builds; if there's a lot of dirty jobs lined up and the receiver's msgq lock happens to be busy at the wrong time, the additional trace messages generated through this will hammer the lock and keep everything bouncing.

2017-11-07Ignore empty binaries in enif_inspect_iovecJohn Högberg
2017-11-07Emasculate writable binaries on entering an iovecJohn Högberg
The lack of this caused serious data corruption when a binary was altered after entering the queue. This went unnoticed because it was never used without erlang:iolist_to_iovec, which always emasculates binaries.
2017-10-01Refactor macros for accessing Beam instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
The BeamOp() macro in erl_vm.h is clumsy to use. All users cast the return value to BeamInstr. Define new macros that are easier to use. In the future, we might want to pack an operand into the same word as the pointer to the instruction, so we will define two macros. BeamIsOpCode() is used to rewrite code like this: if (Instr == (BeamInstr) BeamOp(op_i_func_info_IaaI) { ... } to: if (BeamIsOpCode(Instr, op_i_func_info_IaaI)) { ... } BeamOpCodeAddr(op_apply_bif) is used when we need the address for an instruction. Also elimiminate the global variables em_* in beam_emu.c. They are not really needed. Use the BeamOpCodeAddr() macro instead.
