The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by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.

A number of memory allocation optimizations have been implemented. Most
optimizations reduce contention caused by synchronization between
threads during allocation and deallocation of memory. Most notably:
* Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific allocator
instances has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization.
* Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific
pre-allocators has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization.
* The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use scheduler specific
instances instead of one instance. Apart from reducing contention
this also ensures that memory allocators always create memory
segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.

* rickard/aux-work-bug/OTP-9567:
Fix lost wakeup of scheduler when enqueuing auxiliary work
|
|
When auxiliary work was enqueued on a scheduler, the wakeup of
the scheduler in order to handle this work could be lost. Wakeups
in order to handle ordinary work were not effected by this bug.
The bug only effected runtime systems with SMP support as follows:
* Deallocation of some ETS data structures could be delayed.
* On Linux systems not using the NPTL thread library (typically
ancient systems with kernel versions prior to 2.6) and Windows
systems, the {Port, {exit_status, Status}} message from a
terminating port program could be delayed. That is, it only
effected port programs which had been started by passing
exit_status as an option to open_port/2.

|
* In rare cases we could have no run_queue in schedule misc ops
|
|
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.

* rickard/barriers/OTP-9281:
Silence warnings
Fix build with hipe on amd64
Reduce number of atomic ops
Use 32-bit atomic for port snapshot
Remove pointless erts_ports_alive variable
Ensure quick break
Ensure that all rehashing information are seen when done
Ensure that stack updates are seen when stack is released
Add needed barriers for write_concurrency tables
Homogenize memory barriers on atomics
|
|
Counters for active, and used schedulers have been coalesced in
order to reduce the amount of atomic operations needed.
Some currently not strictly necessary barriers have also been added
in order to be future proof.

The status of a process was unnecessarily set to waiting before
the process was enqueued in a run queue. This bug was harmless
up until OTP-R14B01. In OTP-R14B02 erlang:hibernate/3 was fixed
(OTP-9125). After the introduction of OTP-9125, the previously
harmless process status bug sometimes caused erroneous badarg
exceptions from process_info().

Reader groups have been generalized to cpu groups which can be

other functionality in the future.

Tracing to port could cause an emulator crash when unloading the
trace driver.

The scheduler wakeup threshold is now possible to adjust at system boot.
For more information see the `+swt' command line argument of `erl'.
|
|
Lower the scheduler wakeup threshold since schedulers aren't spuriously
woken as before (since commit 59ee2a593090e7d53c97ceba63cbd300d1b9657e).
|
|
Calling erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info) on platforms where no
CPU topology was found could result in a crash if other CPU
information had changed. This bug was introduced in the 'dev'
branch before R14B (commit 1b273b618002d65159453fdfb9520a9476e4423a).
That is, the bug has never been seen in a released runtime system.
