* 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
2012-08-02Use thread progress instead of scheduling misc aux work were possibleRickard Green
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.

2012-07-31Implement delayed aux work wake upRickard Green
By using a delayed aux work wake up approach, a memory barrier can be omitted in the delayed dealloc enqueue operation. The amount of operations, on the potentially contended, wake up structure is also reduced.
2012-06-25Don't go to single-scheduler mode when managing breakpointsBjörn Gustavsson
Calls to erlang:set_trace_pattern/3 will no longer block all other schedulers. We will still go to single-scheduler mode when new code is loaded for a module that is traced, or when loading code when there is a default trace pattern set. That is not impossible to fix, but that requires much closer cooperation between tracing BIFs and the loader BIFs.

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.

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.

2011-11-13Use 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.

2011-11-13Replace system block with thread progress blockRickard Green
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.
2011-11-13Optimize memory allocationRickard Green
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.
2011-09-06BEAM: Unify allocation of X and float registersBjörn Gustavsson
In the half-word emulator, smp emulator, and non-smp emulator the X register and float register arrays were allocated in different ways. Always allocate the registers and store the pointers to the allocated register arrays in the scheduler data.

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.
