* rickard/thr-prgr-use/OTP-10116: Fix faulty use of thread progress in handle_aux_work()
2012-06-18Fix faulty use of thread progress in handle_aux_work()Rickard Green
As an optimization old thread progress data was kept and used in handle_aux_work() in erl_process.c. This could cause memory to be deallocated at a later time than intended, which is quite harmless. This has, however, now been fixed.

2012-05-10Remove stale code for hybrid heap and incremental GCBjörn Gustavsson
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.

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.

Simplify by removing the support of abort_staging after end_staging.
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.
2012-02-21erts: Activate staged code in a thread safe waySverker Eriksson
Activation of staged code is scheduled for a later moment when all schedulers have done a full memory barrier. This allow them to read active code index while executing without any memory barriers at all.

2011-12-20Remove bad assertRickard Green
It is possible also in non-SMP case: 1. The process receives an exit signal and is set in status exiting and inserted into the run queue. 2. The distribution port exits before the process has been selected for execution and cannot remove the link half on the process since it is in status exiting. 3. Process is selected for execution and when removing this link half the distribution channel is gone!

2011-12-01Remove common run-queue in SMP caseRickard Green
The common run-queue implementation is removed since it is unused, untested, undocumented, unsupported, and only complicates the code. A spinlock used by the run-queue management sometimes got heavily contended. This code has now been rewritten, and the spinlock has been removed.
2011-12-01Fix scheduler suspend bugRickard Green
Calls to erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, N) and/or erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block|unblock) could cause internal data used by this functionality to get into an inconsistent state. When this happened various problems occurred. This bug was quite hard to trigger, so hopefully no-one has been effected by it.
2011-11-29erl_process.c: Remove the redundant variable 'processes_busy'Björn Gustavsson
There is a static variable called 'processes_busy' in erl_process.c, which will be incremented but never used. To confuse things, there is also a global variable with the same name, but it it is only defined and used if BM_COUNTERS is defined. In erl_process.c, the global version of 'processes_busy' will be seen and incremented if BM_COUNTERS is defined. Remove the static version of 'processes_busy' in erl_process.c, but keep the global version if BM_COUNTERS is defined. Noticed-by: Jovi Zhang

2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for async threadsRickard Green
Queues used for communication between async threads and scheduler threads have been replaced with lock-free queues. Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not automatically locked to the system anymore, and can be unloaded as any dynamically linked in driver. Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved in between other jobs. Previously all ready async jobs was performed at once.
