Add support for setting the number of dirty CPU schedulers online via
erlang:system_flag/2. Assuming the emulator is built with dirty schedulers
enabled, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online may not be less than 1,
nor greater than the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, nor greater
than the number of normal schedulers online. Dirty CPU scheduler threads
that are taken offline via system_flag/2 are suspended. The number of dirty
CPU schedulers online may be adjusted independently of the number of normal
schedulers online, but if system_flag/2 is used to set the number of normal
schedulers online to a value less than the current number of normal
schedulers online, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is decreased
proportionally. Likewise, if the number of normal schedulers online is
increased, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is increased
proportionally. For example, if 8 normal schedulers and 4 dirty CPU
schedulers are online, and system_flag/2 is called to set the number of
normal schedulers online to 4, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is
also decreased by half, to 2. Subsequently setting the number of normal
schedulers online back to 8 also sets the number of dirty CPU schedulers
online back to 4. Augment the system_flag/2 documentation in the erlang man
page to explain this relationship between schedulers_online and
dirty_cpu_schedulers_online.
Also ensure that all dirty CPU and I/O schedulers are suspended when
multi-scheduling is blocked via system_flag/2, and brought back online when
multi-scheduling is unblocked.
Add Rickard Green's rewritten check_enqueue_in_prio_queue() function that
inspects process state more thoroughly to determine if to enqueue it and if
so on what queue, including dirty queues when appropriate.
Make sure dirty NIF jobs do not trigger erlang:system_monitor long_schedule
messages.
Add more dirty scheduler testing to the scheduler test suite.
Remove the erts_no_dirty_cpu_schedulers_online global variable, since it's
no longer needed.
Execute dirty NIFs on a normal scheduler thread while multi-scheduling
blocking is in effect. Evacuate any dirty jobs residing in the dirty run
queues over to a normal run queue when multi-scheduling is blocked.
Allow dirty schedulers to execute aux work.
Set the dirty run queues halt_in_progress flag when halting the normal
schedulers.
Change dirty scheduler numbers to a structure including both scheduler
number and type, either dirty CPU or dirty I/O. Add some assertions to
ensure that dirty CPU schedulers operate only on dirty CPU scheduler
process flags, and the same for dirty I/O schedulers.

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.

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)

Add the enif_is_exception function to allow callers to determine
whether an ERL_NIF_TERM represents an exception. (Currently the only
supported exception is badarg since only enif_make_badarg exists, but
this will likely be expanded in future releases.) This allows NIF code
to call other NIF functions that return ERL_NIF_TERM and properly
check to see if the returned terms are exceptions. Without the
enif_is_exception function, developers have to create their own means
of checking whether a function creates an exception, such as returning
boolean success/failure indicators or some other special value
indicating that an exception is in effect.
The declaration of enif_is_exception in erl_nif_api_funcs.h respects
the order of declarations required to keep compatibility on Windows.
Add a new test to verify the operation of enif_is_exception.
Modify the erl_nif man page to add a description of enif_is_exception
and also to clarify the requirements of calling the enif_make_badarg
function. If code calls enif_make_badarg, the env passed in gets set
with exception information and so the return value of the calling
function MUST be the badarg term returned from enif_make_badarg. Also
clarify that the result of enif_make_badarg may be passed only to
enif_is_exception and not to any other NIF API functions.

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)
|
|
New NIF API function enif_make_new_binary
|
|
Change erl_int_sizes_config to include HALFWORD_HEAP_EMULATOR,
which make it possible for the NIFs to figure out the term size.
|
|
|
|
NIF function prototypes in order to allow more than 3 function
arguments. Also an incompatible change in the return value of
erlang:load_nif/2. Added support for references, floats and term
comparison in NIFs. Read more in the documentation of erl_nif and
erlang:load_nif/2.
