In the #erlang IRC channel Anthony Ramine once mentioned the idea of
allowing a NIF to use an emulator trap, similar to a BIF trap, to schedule
another NIF for execution. This is exactly how dirty NIFs were implemented
for Erlang/OTP 17.0, so this commit refactors and generalizes that dirty
NIF code to support a new enif_schedule_nif() API function.
The enif_schedule_nif() function allows a long-running NIF to be broken
into separate NIF invocations. The NIF first executes part of the
long-running task, then calls enif_schedule_nif() to schedule a NIF for
later execution to continue the task. Any number of NIFs can be scheduled
in this manner, one after another. Since the emulator regains control
between invocations, this helps avoid problems caused by native code tying
up scheduler threads for too long.
The enif_schedule_nif() function also replaces the original experimental
dirty NIF API. The function takes a flags parameter that a caller can use
to indicate the NIF should be scheduled onto either a dirty CPU scheduler
thread, a dirty I/O scheduler thread, or scheduled as a regular NIF on a
regular scheduler thread. With this change, the original experimental
enif_schedule_dirty_nif(), enif_schedule_dirty_nif_finalizer() and
enif_dirty_nif_finalizer() API functions are no longer needed and have been
removed. Explicit scheduling of a dirty NIF finalization function is no
longer necessary; if an application wants similar functionality, it can
have a dirty NIF just invoke enif_schedule_nif() to schedule a non-dirty
NIF to complete its task.
Lift the restriction that dirty NIFs can't call enif_make_badarg() to raise
an exception. This was a problem with the original dirty NIF API because it
forced developers to get and check all incoming arguments in a regular NIF,
and then schedule the dirty NIF which then had to get all the arguments
again. Now, the argument checking can be done in the dirty NIF and it can
call enif_make_badarg() itself to flag incorrect arguments.
Extend the ErlNifFunc struct with a new flags field that allows NIFs to be
declared as dirty. The default value for this field is 0, indicating a
regular NIF, so it's backwards compatible with all existing statically
initialized ErlNifFunc struct instances, and so such instances require no
code changes. Defining the flags field with a value of
ERL_NIF_DIRTY_JOB_CPU_BOUND indicates that the NIF should execute on a
dirty CPU scheduler thread, or defining it with a value of
ERL_NIF_DIRTY_JOB_IO_BOUND indicates that the NIF should execute on a dirty
I/O scheduler thread. Any other flags field value causes a NIF library
loading error.
Extend the ErlNifEntry struct with a new options field that indicates
whether a NIF library was built with support for optional features such as
dirty NIFs. When a NIF library is loaded, the runtime checks the options
field to ensure compatibility. If a NIF library built with dirty NIF
support is loaded into a runtime that does not support dirty NIFs, and the
library defines one or more ErlNifFunc entries with non-zero flags fields
indicating dirty NIFs, a NIF library loading error results. There is no
error if a NIF library built with dirty NIF support is loaded into a
runtime that does not support dirty NIFs but the library does not have any
dirty NIFs. It is also not an error if a library without dirty NIF support
is loaded into a runtime built with dirty NIF support.
Add documentation and tests for enif_schedule_nif().

Add support for setting the number of dirty CPU schedulers online via
erlang:system_flag/2. Assuming the emulator is built with dirty schedulers
enabled, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online may not be less than 1,
nor greater than the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, nor greater
than the number of normal schedulers online. Dirty CPU scheduler threads
that are taken offline via system_flag/2 are suspended. The number of dirty
CPU schedulers online may be adjusted independently of the number of normal
schedulers online, but if system_flag/2 is used to set the number of normal
schedulers online to a value less than the current number of normal
schedulers online, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is decreased
proportionally. Likewise, if the number of normal schedulers online is
increased, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is increased
proportionally. For example, if 8 normal schedulers and 4 dirty CPU
schedulers are online, and system_flag/2 is called to set the number of
normal schedulers online to 4, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is
also decreased by half, to 2. Subsequently setting the number of normal
schedulers online back to 8 also sets the number of dirty CPU schedulers
online back to 4. Augment the system_flag/2 documentation in the erlang man
page to explain this relationship between schedulers_online and
dirty_cpu_schedulers_online.
Also ensure that all dirty CPU and I/O schedulers are suspended when
multi-scheduling is blocked via system_flag/2, and brought back online when
multi-scheduling is unblocked.
Add Rickard Green's rewritten check_enqueue_in_prio_queue() function that
inspects process state more thoroughly to determine if to enqueue it and if
so on what queue, including dirty queues when appropriate.
Make sure dirty NIF jobs do not trigger erlang:system_monitor long_schedule
messages.
Add more dirty scheduler testing to the scheduler test suite.
Remove the erts_no_dirty_cpu_schedulers_online global variable, since it's
no longer needed.
Execute dirty NIFs on a normal scheduler thread while multi-scheduling
blocking is in effect. Evacuate any dirty jobs residing in the dirty run
queues over to a normal run queue when multi-scheduling is blocked.
Allow dirty schedulers to execute aux work.
Set the dirty run queues halt_in_progress flag when halting the normal
schedulers.
Change dirty scheduler numbers to a structure including both scheduler
number and type, either dirty CPU or dirty I/O. Add some assertions to
ensure that dirty CPU schedulers operate only on dirty CPU scheduler
process flags, and the same for dirty I/O schedulers.

* vinoski/ds:
initial support for dirty schedulers and dirty NIFs
|
|
Add initial support for dirty schedulers.
There are two types of dirty schedulers: CPU schedulers and I/O
schedulers. By default, there are as many dirty CPU schedulers as there are
normal schedulers and as many dirty CPU schedulers online as normal
schedulers online. There are 10 dirty I/O schedulers (similar to the choice
of 10 as the default for async threads).
By default, dirty schedulers are disabled and conditionally compiled
out. To enable them, you must pass --enable-dirty-schedulers to the
top-level configure script when building Erlang/OTP.
Current dirty scheduler support requires the emulator to be built with SMP
support. This restriction will be lifted in the future.
You can specify the number of dirty schedulers with the command-line
options +SDcpu (for dirty CPU schedulers) and +SDio (for dirty I/O
schedulers). The +SDcpu option is similar to the +S option in that it takes
two numbers separated by a colon: C1:C2, where C1 specifies the number of
dirty schedulers available and C2 specifies the number of dirty schedulers
online. The +SDPcpu option allows numbers of dirty CPU schedulers available
and dirty CPU schedulers online to be specified as percentages, similar to
the existing +SP option for normal schedulers. The number of dirty CPU
schedulers created and dirty CPU schedulers online may not exceed the
number of normal schedulers created and normal schedulers online,
respectively. The +SDio option takes only a single number specifying the
number of dirty I/O schedulers available and online. There is no support
yet for programmatically changing at run time the number of dirty CPU
schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Also, changing the number of
normal schedulers online via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online,
NewSchedulersOnline) should ensure that there are no more dirty CPU
schedulers than normal schedulers, but this is not yet implemented. You can
retrieve the number of dirty schedulers by passing dirty_cpu_schedulers,
dirty_cpu_schedulers_online, or dirty_io_schedulers to
erlang:system_info/1.
Currently only NIFs are able to access dirty scheduler
functionality. Neither drivers nor BIFs currently support dirty
schedulers. This restriction will be addressed in the future.
If dirty scheduler support is present in the runtime, the initial status
line Erlang prints before presenting its interactive prompt will include
the indicator "[ds:C1:C2:I]" where "ds" indicates "dirty schedulers", "C1"
indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, "C2" indicates the
number of dirty CPU schedulers online, and "I" indicates the number of
dirty I/O schedulers.
Document The dirty NIF API in the erl_nif man page. The API closely follows
Rickard Green's presentation slides from his talk "Future Extensions to the
Native Interface", presented at the 2011 Erlang Factory held in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Rickard's slides are available online at
http://bit.ly/1m34UHB .
Document the new erl command-line options, the additions to
erlang:system_info/1, and also add the erlang:system_flag/2 dirty scheduler
documentation even though it's not yet implemented.
To determine whether the dirty NIF API is available, native code can check
to see whether the C preprocessor macro ERL_NIF_DIRTY_SCHEDULER_SUPPORT is
defined. To check if dirty schedulers are available at run time, native
code can call the boolean enif_have_dirty_schedulers() function, and Erlang
code can call erlang:system_info(dirty_cpu_schedulers), which raises
badarg if no dirty scheduler support is available.
Add a simple dirty NIF test to the emulator NIF suite.

Being able to disable garbage collection over context
switches vastly simplifies implementation of yielding
native code that builds large or complex data structures
on the heap. This since the heap can be left in an
inconsistent state over the context switch.
|
|
A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of
another process will be notified by a message when the task has
executed. This message will be on the form:
{RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}.
A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority
on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority
on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding
priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is
made by calling the statically linked in NIF
erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an
undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It
should *only* be called from BIF implementations.
Currently defined system tasks are:
* garbage_collect
* check_process_code
Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future.
The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3]
BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the
'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform
or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the
system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the
system will be performed solely in the context of the process
being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement
functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over
context switches.
Newly introduced BIFs:
* erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option
list. Introduced option:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous garbage collect requests.
* erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an
option list. Introduced options:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous check process code requests.
* {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests
that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort
if gc should be needed).
These options have been introduced as a preparation for
parallelization of check_process_code operations when the
code_server is about to purge a module.

* rickard/+sfwi/OTP-11164:
erts: Add the +sfwi system flag
|
|
+sfwi Interval
Set scheduler forced wakeup interval. All run queues will be scanned
each Interval milliseconds. While there are sleeping schedulers in
the system, one scheduler will be woken for each non-empty run queue
found. An Interval of zero disables this feature, which also is the
default.
This feature has been introduced as a temporary workaround for lengthy
executing native code, and native code that do not bump reductions
properly in OTP. When these bugs have be fixed the +sfwi flag will
be removed.

Rewrite and extend of Happi's initial work
Extra_root to process structure to enable GC of state - Changed the
process structure to point to a separate struct, the struct also
contains a destructor function to allow for proper cleanup.
Rewrote encode_size_struct and enc_term to have internal versions with
reduction counters which will result in interrupt for later restart
when the counter reaches zero - removed the EWA_STACK from Happis
version and directly save the ESTACK's and WSTACK's in the above
mentioned struct (or array thereof) that are pointed out from the
process structure. The destructor will take care of the deallocation
in case of process death.
Added ESTACK and WSTACK macros to save and restore stack and to change
allocator, which makes the previously mentioned stack-save work.
Rewrote enc_term to not store pointers on the stack, and use one WSTACK
for commands etc and another ESTACK for Eterms - Slightly different than
Happis version to make halfword code simpler.
Rewrote encode_size_struct2 so that it does not store pointers on the
stack, also switched to ESTACK instead of WSTACK, this also handles
halfword correctly.
Added interfaces for chunkwise compression, that are
used from term_to_binary/2 when the compressed option is given.
