To simplify the implementation of literal pools (constant pools)
for the R12 release, a shortcut was taken regarding binaries --
all binaries would be stored as heap binaries regardless of size.
To allow a module containing literals to be unloaded, literal
terms are copied when sent to another process. That means that
huge literal binaries will also be copied if they are sent to
another process, which could be surprising.
Another problem is that the arity field in the header for the heap
object may not be wide enough to handle big binaries.
Therefore, bite the bullet and allow refc binaries to be stored
in literal pools. In short, the following need to be changed:
* Each loaded module needs a MSO list, linking all refc binaries
in the literal pool.
* When check_process_code/2 copies literals to a process heap,
it must link each referenced binary into the MSO list for the
process and increment the reference counter for the binary.
* purge_module/1 must decrement the reference counter for each
refc binary in the literal pool.

Break apart code loading into the three functions:
erts_alloc_loader_state()
erts_prepare_loading()
erts_finish_loading()
The erts_alloc_loader_state() and erts_prepare_loading() can be
executed with all schedulers running. Only erts_finish_loading()
needs to be run in a single-scheduling system.
|
|
There is no reason to have erts_load_module() return integer values,
only to have the caller convert the values to atoms. Return the
appropriate atom directly from the place where the error is generated
instead. Return NIL if the module was successfully loaded.
|
|
The -l option used to print information about modules being loaded,
but now it prints very little information.

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.

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.

The current calling convention for BIFs makes it necessary to
handle each arity specially, since each argument for the BIF
also becomes an argument for the C function implementing the BIF,
which makes it hard to allow BIFs with any number of arguments.
Change the calling convention for BIFs, so that BIF arguments are
passed in an array to the C function implementing the BIF.
|
|
As a preparation for changing the calling convention for
BIFs, make sure that all BIFs use the macros. Also, eliminate
all calls from one BIF to another, since that also breaks
the calling convention abstraction.

Put the actual saving of the continuation pointers on the stack
in the new function erts_save_stacktrace() so that it can be reused.
The code is too tricky and complicated to allow it to
become duplicated.
|
|
|
|
As a preparation for providing information about the source
location for an MFA item in an exception stacktrace, refactor
the code that builds the exception stacktrace. Basically we
need two passes over the saved continuation counters: a first
pass to calculate the needed heap space and a second pass to
actually build the stacktrace.
|
|
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.

The io_list_len() function returns an int, where a negative return
value indicates a type error. One problem is that an int only consists
of 32 bits in a 64-bit emulator. Changing the return type to Sint
will solve that problem, but in the 32-bit emulator, a large iolist
and a iolist with a type error will both return a negative number.
(Noticed by Jon Meredith.)
Another problem is that for iolists whose total size exceed the
word size, the result would be truncated, leading to a subsequent
buffer overflow and emulator crash.
Therefore, introduce the new erts_iolist_size() function which
returns a status indication and writes the result size through
a passed pointer. If the result size does not fit in a word,
return an overflow indication.

Existing %bp to print pointer size integers does not work in halfword

The new_binary() function takes a size argument that is an
int. In the 64-bit emulator (sizeof(int) == 4, sizeof(Uint) == 8),
any sizes >= 0x8000000 become 0xffffffff80000000 and above and
triggers a memory allocation failure.
Change the type of the size argument to Uint, and change any
callers that cast the argument to an int.

In halfword emulator, make ETS use a variant of the internal term
format that uses relative offsets instead of absolute pointers. This
will allow storage in high memory (>4G). Preprocessor macros (like
list_val_rel(TERM,BASE)) are used to make normal (fullword) emulator
almost completely unchanged while still reusing most of the code.

This commit fixes four related bugs:
- calling hibernate/3 using a dynamic call would fail with badarg
as hibernate/3 as a BIF was not implemented. hibernate/3 is generally
provided as a Beam instruction, and code is translated to use this
instruction when loaded.
- calling hibernate/3 from HiPE would fail with badarg because this
would call the aforementioned BIF which was not implemented.
- calling hibernate/3 with some HiPE-native garbage in the process heap
would randomly crash at the next garbage collect. This bug only
happened in a complex, yet reproduceable scenarios, where native code
calls beam code that calls hibernate/3, and the process has some
garbage when being hibernated and the process generates garbage when
awaken.
- when entering HiPE, the process current_function can be set and be
inaccurate.
The fix is three folded:
- hibernate_3 BIF now actually works instead of throwing a badarg. While
hibernate_3 BIF was (usually) not called from BEAM, it is called from
HiPE. hibernate behaviour is very close to the scheduler and this is why
it is implemented as an instruction in BEAM. The fix consists in doing
the actual hibernation (through the now exported erts_hibernate
function) and setting the process flag to TRAP as well as the process
status to P_WAITING. On BIF epilogue in both BEAM and HiPE, this status
is tested on TRAP and if set, the scheduler is invoked. The i_hibernate
instruction and translation code is now redundant and could be deleted.
- hibernation now also empties the HiPE native stack, with a new
function hipe_empty_nstack provided by Mikael Pettersson.
- when entering HiPE through hipe_mode_switch, p->current is cleared,
as suggested by Mikael Pettersson. p->current normally hold a pointer to
the {M,F,A} of the current function if it exists. When hibernating, it
is set to {erlang,hibernate,3}, and all stdlib hibernate tests
(gen_server_SUITE:hibernate/1, proc_lib_suite:hibernate/1, etc.)
actually rely on this information. Clearing p->current fixes the tests
and avoids the surprise one might have when querying the process info
of a process that hibernated and woke up in a native function.
Non-regression tests are provided, a test for the dynamic call as well
as a Makefile-handled duplication of the hibernate_SUITE into
hibernate_native_SUITE for the HiPE case.

Also corrected compressed files on Windows
|
|
|
|
The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format
(term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself
and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate
non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one
extra word for "alloc_size").
