The poll thread does a lot of waking up and then going
back to sleep. A large part of the waking up is managing
thread progress and a large part of that was using thread
specific data to get the thread progress data pointer.
With this refactor the tpd is passed to each of the functions
which greatly decreases the number of ethr_get_tsd calls
which in turn halves the CPU usage of the poller thread in
certain scenarios.

This refactor was done using the unifdef tool like this:
for file in $(find erts/ -name *.[ch]); do unifdef -t -f defile -o $file $file; done
where defile contained:
#define ERTS_SMP 1
#define USE_THREADS 1
#define DDLL_SMP 1
#define ERTS_HAVE_SMP_EMU 1
#define SMP 1
#define ERL_BITS_REENTRANT 1
#define ERTS_USE_ASYNC_READY_Q 1
#define FDBLOCK 1
#undef ERTS_POLL_NEED_ASYNC_INTERRUPT_SUPPORT
#define ERTS_POLL_ASYNC_INTERRUPT_SUPPORT 0
#define ERTS_POLL_USE_WAKEUP_PIPE 1
#define ERTS_POLL_USE_UPDATE_REQUESTS_QUEUE 1
#undef ERTS_HAVE_PLAIN_EMU
#undef ERTS_SIGNAL_STATE

* lukas/erts/crashdump_improvements/OTP-12377:
erts: Make main thread safe from pipe closed event
erts: Improve crash dumps
erts: Rename sys_sigset to sys_signal
erts: Introduce thread suspend functions
erts: Remove usage of QUANTIFY signal
erts: Add support for thread names
ets: Increase data available in crash dumps and ets:info
erts: Start compilation of beam_emu earlier
|
|
This commit improves crash dumps in several ways:
* Suspends schedulers to get a current snapshot
* Dumps information about scheduler
* Dumps stack trace of current running process
(including Garbing processes)

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.
|
|
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.

- Document barrier semantics
- Introduce ddrb suffix on atomic ops
- Barrier macros for both non-SMP and SMP case
- Make the thread progress API a bit more intuitive

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.

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.
