2018-04-05Support dumping of external fun literals to a crash dumpBjörn Gustavsson
63e1c58d27ab (PR #1725) started to compile external funs as literals. This commit updates the dumping of literal areas to dump external fun literals to the crash dump.
2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system implementation has however previously preformed most operation synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support) it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention issues. The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations of (almost) all signals have been changed. Currently the following signals have been implemented as true asynchronous signals: - Message signals - Exit signals - Monitor signals - Demonitor signals - Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc) - Link signals - Unlink signals - Group leader signals All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the language. The implementation of messages signals was quite asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes. The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file. The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

2018-02-20erts: Include failing garbing process in crash dumpSverker Eriksson
Exclude garbing processes, EXCEPT if run by crash dumping thread in which case we assume the heap is healthy without any move markers yet/left. Switched order between (allocating) setup_rootset() and (move marking) collect_live_heap_frags().

2017-10-30erl_process_dump: Don't assume that literals can be foundBjörn Gustavsson
Native code does not register its literals in the code header for the loaded code. Therefore, a literal created by native code can not be found by mark_literal(). Ignore literals that can't be found instead of crashing (the crasdump_viewer will report such literals as incomplete heap data, but will not crash).

2017-10-18Dump literals separately to avoid incomplete heap dataBjörn Gustavsson
When a literal was used from several processes, the literal would be dumped in only one of the processes. The other processes that referenced the literals would have incomplete heap data.
2017-10-18Implement dumping of maps in crash dumpsBjörn Gustavsson
Maps would be dumped as the atom 'undefined', which is not very informative.

NIF resources was not handled in a thread-safe manner in the runtime system without SMP support. As a consequence of this fix, the following driver functions are now thread-safe also in the runtime system without SMP support: - driver_free_binary() - driver_realloc_binary() - driver_binary_get_refc() - driver_binary_inc_refc() - driver_binary_dec_refc()

2016-10-12erts: Refactor find_function_from_pc to return MFALukas Larsson
2016-10-12erts: Refactor out func_info into structLukas Larsson
This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent erlang code in erts. ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that were previously used to point to these locations. After this change the code should never use BeamInstr * with offsets to figure out different parts of the func_info header. ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also in Process->current. All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr * to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo where appropriate. The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to make it work.
2016-06-08erts: Don't crash on maps on crash dumpsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
- Large Maps could cause a stack overrun during crash dump generation. - This is a simple workaround until a solution has been implemented. - The error has no impact on a running system.

2016-02-15Ensure that work is done on the correct type of schedulersRickard Green
Only the actual call to the dirty nif is allowed to execute on dirty schedulers. The dirty nif is not allowed to execute on normal schedulers if dirty schedulers are available. Arrival of exit signals and system tasks, while a process was scheduled for execution on a dirty scheduler, could mess up the process internal state. Preparation for dirty system task has been made, but is currently unused.
2015-11-12Fragmented young heap generation and off_heap_message_queue optionRickard Green
* The youngest generation of the heap can now consist of multiple blocks. Heap fragments and message fragments are added to the youngest generation when needed without triggering a GC. After a GC the youngest generation is contained in one single block. * The off_heap_message_queue process flag has been added. When enabled all message data in the queue is kept off heap. When a message is selected from the queue, the message fragment (or heap fragment) containing the actual message is attached to the youngest generation. Messages stored off heap is not part of GC.
