2011-04-11Fix lost wakeup when process garbage collected by otherRickard Green
2011-04-11Only set status P_WAITING when neededRickard Green
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().

Some integer values used during load balancing could under rare circumstances wrap causing a load unbalance between schedulers.

Reader groups have been generalized to cpu groups which can be used for implementing reader groups, but also for implementing other functionality in the future.

2010-09-04Add scheduler wakup threshold as command line argumentRickard Green
The scheduler wakeup threshold is now possible to adjust at system boot. For more information see the `+swt' command line argument of `erl'.
2010-09-04Lower the scheduler wakeup thresholdRickard Green
Lower the scheduler wakeup threshold since schedulers aren't spuriously woken as before (since commit 59ee2a593090e7d53c97ceba63cbd300d1b9657e).
2010-09-01Fix crash when calling erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info)Rickard Green
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.

* rickard/cpu-info-unbind/8765: Fix erroneous error reports about unbind failure
2010-08-31Fix erroneous error reports about unbind failureRickard Green
On platforms where binding of schedulers is not supported, numerous error reports on the form "Scheduler <N> failed to unbind from cpu -1: enotsup" were erroneously issued. 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. Reported-By: Tuncer Ayaz

2010-08-18Make it possible to reread and update detected CPU informationRickard Green
Calling erlang:system_info/1 with the new argument 'update_cpu_info' will make the runtime system reread and update the internally stored CPU information. For more information see the documentation of erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info).
2010-08-12Increase vheap counter to Uint64Björn-Egil Dahlberg
This will reduce the risk of integer wrapping in bin vheap counting. The vheap size series will now use the golden ratio instead of doubling and fibonacci sequences. OTP #8730
2010-08-11Fix faulty no_empty_run_queues assertionRickard Green
For a short period of time no_empty_run_queues may have been increased twice for a specific run queue. Two assertions did not take this into account.
2010-08-10Merge branch 'rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544' into devRickard Green
* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544: Rewrite ethread library
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
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.
2010-07-20One off-heap list, to eliminate two words per ETS object.Sverker Eriksson
Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per ETS object.
2010-06-14OTP-8710 Fix emulator crash caused by setting CPU topologyRickard Green
A user defined CPU topology set via a call to <seealso marker="erlang#system_flag_cpu_topology">erlang:system_flag(cpu_topology, CPUTopology)</seealso> was not properly verified, and could in worst case cause an emulator crash. The emulator crash could only occur when a user defined CPU topology already existed and was redefined.

2010-06-03Teach call_time trace to use intruction pointersBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
call_time trace will use instruction pointers instead of breakpoint data pointers. More costly lookup but the bdt structure might be deallocated, we do not want that. Remove unnecessary pattern lock.
