* sverk/master/halt-INT_MIN:
erts: Make erlang:halt() accept bignums as Status
erts: Change erl_exit into erts_exit
kernel: Remove calls to erl_exit
|
|
The BIFs prepare_loading/2 and finish_loading/1 have been
designed to allow fast loading in parallel of many modules.
Because of the complications with on_load functions,
the initial implementation of finish_loading/1 only allowed
a single element in the list of prepared modules.
finish_loading/1 does not suspend other processes, but it must wait
for all schedulers to pass a write barrier ("thread progress"). The
time for all schedulers to pass the write barrier is highly variable,
depending on what kind of code they are executing. Therefore, allowing
finish_loading/1 to finish the loading for more than one module before
passing the write barrier could potentially be much faster than
calling finish_loading/1 multiple times.
The test case many/1 run on my computer shows that with "heavy load",
finish loading of 100 modules in parallel is almost 50 times faster
than loading them sequentially. With "light load", the gain is still
almost 10 times.
Here follows an actual sample of the output from the test case on
my computer (an 2012 iMac):
Light load
==========
Sequential: 22361 µs
Parallel: 2586 µs
Ratio: 9
Heavy load
==========
Sequential: 254512 µs
Parallel: 5246 µs
Ratio: 49

This is mostly a pure refactoring.
Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive
integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with
ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT.
Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, )
------- ------------------- -------------------------------------------
exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0
crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0
The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and
ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have
changed).

We will need a way to check whether an prepared BEAM modules has
an on_load function.

* sverk/fix-list-length-int/OTP-13288:
erts: Fix error cases in enif_get_list_length
erts: Use Sint instead of int for list lengths
|

* sverk/thread-unsafe-alloc:
erts: Fix faulty assert for non-smp
erts: Add checks for thread safe allocation
|

This avoids potential integer arithmetic overflow for very large lists.

Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the
different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area
is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which
states the threads are in and then from there figuring out
why and where to optimize.
Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is
relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the
states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled
through configure.
I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off
is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent.
If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark,
the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on
somewhere inbetween 5-15%.

Assert thread unsafe allocator is only created on non-smp
and only called by the main thread.
Removed test of unsafe allocator in custom thread.

by ignoring literals.
erts_internal:check_process_code will be called again anyway
(with option {copy_literals, true}) before the module is actually purged.
No need to check literals twice.

Instead of forking from the beam process, we create a separate
process in which all forks are done. This has several advantages:
1) performance:
* don't have to close all fd's in the world
* fork only has to copy stuff from a small process
* work is done in a completely seperate process
* a 3x performance increase has been measured,
can be made even greater (10x) if we cache the
environment in child setup
2) stability
* the exec is done in another process than beam, which means that
if the file that we exec to is on an nfs that is not available
right now we will not block a scheduler until the nfs returns.
3) simplicity
* don't have to deal with SIGCHLD in the erts
Unfortunately, this solution also implies some badness.
1) There will always be a seperate process running together with
beam on unix. This could be confusing and undesirable.
2) We have to transfer the entire environment to child_setup
for each command.

The TMPBUF option is no longer needed due to is_literal test and NONE
was only used for initial debugging. So we remove the entire option.

This is very verbose, you have been warned.
It should work with the copy-spy.py script, which may be a bit outdated.

This commit is just for debugging purposes, will probably be reverted.
It comes with a the erts_debug:copy_shared/1 BIF. If SHCOPY_DISABLE
is defined, SHCOPY starts disabled and is dynamically enabled the first
time that the BIF is called.

Add functions size_shared, copy_shared_calculate and copy_shared_perform.
Add the infrastructure for making these communicate with each other.
Add debug information to other places in the VM, to watch interaction
with the sharing-preserving copy.
CAUTION: If you define the SHCOPY_DEBUG macro (after SHCOPY is actually
used in the VM) and make the whole OTP, there will be a lot of debugging
messages during make (it will also be enabled in erlc). You have been
warned...

* 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.

The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with
erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many
unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together
and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as
accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need
to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality
over multiple functions in order to improve on this.
The new API consists of a number of new BIFs:
- erlang:convert_time_unit/3
- erlang:monotonic_time/0
- erlang:monotonic_time/1
- erlang:system_time/0
- erlang:system_time/1
- erlang:time_offset/0
- erlang:time_offset/1
- erlang:timestamp/0
- erlang:unique_integer/0
- erlang:unique_integer/1
- os:system_time/0
- os:system_time/1
and a number of extensions of existing BIFs:
- erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service)
- erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize)
- erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source)
- erlang:system_info(time_offset)
- erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode)
- erlang:system_info(time_correction)
- erlang:system_info(start_time)
See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the
ERTS User's Guide for more information.

Add a check to enif_make_double to see if its double argument is
infinity or NaN, returning a badarg exception if it is. Change the
erl_nif documentation to specify that enif_make_double returns a
badarg exception if its double argument is either infinity or NaN. Add
tests to nif_SUITE for this change.
Add checks to the enif_make* functions for atoms to prevent the
creation of atoms whose name lengths are greater than the allowed
maximum atom length. The enif_make_atom and enif_make_atom_len
functions now return a badarg exception if the input string is too
long. The enif_make_existing_atom and enif_make_existing_atom_len
functions return false if the input string is too long. Change the
erl_nif documentation to reflect the changes to these functions. Add
tests to nif_SUITE for these changes.
Add a field to ErlNifEnv to track that a NIF has raised an exception
via enif_make_badarg. If a NIF calls enif_make_badarg but then ignores
its return value and instead tries to return a non-exception term as
its return value, the runtime still raises a badarg. This is needed to
prevent enif_make_badarg values resulting from calls to
enif_make_double, enif_make_atom, or enif_make_atom_len from being
erroneously stored within other terms and returned from a NIF. Calling
enif_make_badarg but not returning its return value has been
documented as being illegal ever since enif_make_badarg was added, but
the runtime has not enforced it until now. Add tests for regular and
dirty NIFs to ensure that calls to enif_make_badarg result in badarg
exceptions even if a NIF fails to return the result of
enif_make_badarg as its return value. Add documentation to
enif_make_badarg to specify that calling it raises a badarg even if a
NIF ignores its return value.
