Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary
references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change
the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization.
An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A
magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic
binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without
having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly.
Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by
removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of
planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers,
and BIF timer identifiers.
Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also
be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic
references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty
binaries to the Erlang software.

NIF resources was not handled in a thread-safe manner in the runtime
system without SMP support.
As a consequence of this fix, the following driver functions are now
thread-safe also in the runtime system without SMP support:
- driver_free_binary()
- driver_realloc_binary()
- driver_binary_get_refc()
- driver_binary_inc_refc()
- driver_binary_dec_refc()

Instead of passing around a file descriptor
use a function pointer to facilitate more advanced
backend write logic such as size limitation or compression.

This is mostly a pure refactoring.
Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive
integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with
ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT.
Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, )
------- ------------------- -------------------------------------------
exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0
crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0
The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and
ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have
changed).

* The youngest generation of the heap can now consist of multiple
blocks. Heap fragments and message fragments are added to the
youngest generation when needed without triggering a GC. After
a GC the youngest generation is contained in one single block.
* The off_heap_message_queue process flag has been added. When
enabled all message data in the queue is kept off heap. When
a message is selected from the queue, the message fragment (or
heap fragment) containing the actual message is attached to the
youngest generation. Messages stored off heap is not part of GC.

that could lead strange things to happen when renaming a node with
a name that already exist in node and dist tables.
Problem:
erts_set_this_node() is a bit brutal and does not handle the case
when an old remote node name is reused as the new local node name.
Solution:
Treat erts_this_node and erts_this_dist_entry as all the others
with correct reference counting.
|
|
Not needed as it is always set to erts_this_dist_entry (on net_kernel).

Correct usage of sizeof() for pointer types
OTP-12771
|
|
Given some pointer *x, calling sizeof(x) will give us
the size of the pointer (4/8 bytes) not the size fo the
underlying dereferenced structure. Use coccinelle to
search for these occurrences in the source code, and
correct them one by one. In the case of
erl_node_tables.c, the erts_snprintf() calls used a
much too small buffer.
- run_erl.c: Use the size of the signal type, not
its pointer.
- erl_node_tables.c: Use the size of the _BUFFER in
erts_snprintf() to make sure we can use the full space.

* rickard/tab-unref-thr-prgr/OTP-10167:
Use thread progress instead of scheduling misc aux work were possible
Conflicts:
erts/emulator/beam/erl_process.h
|
|
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.

The hybrid heap emulator was last working in the non-SMP R11B
run-time system. When the constant pools were introduced in R12B,
the hybrid heap emulator was not updated to handle them.
At this point, the harm from reduced readability of the code is
greater than any potential usefulness of keeping the code.

Add probes to the virtual machine, except (mostly) the efile_drv.c
driver and other file I/O-related source files.

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.
|
|
All uses of the old deprecated atomic API in the runtime system
have been replaced with the use of the new atomic API. In a lot of
places this change imply a relaxation of memory barriers used.
|
|
|
|
The runtime system is now less eager to suspend
processes sending messages over the distribution. The
default value of the distribution buffer busy limit
has also been increased from 128 KB to 1 MB. This in
order to improve throughput.

Spin wait on most ethread rwlocks used by the runtime system was
unintentionally disabled during development. Spin wait has now been enabled
again. This bug appeared in commit 59ee2a593090e7d53c97ceba63cbd300d1b9657e,
i.e., it has not been seen in any released versions.

* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544:
Rewrite ethread library
|
|
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.

Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into
one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per
ETS object.
