2016-11-17erts: Tweak PSTACK to avoid warningSverker Eriksson
warning: array subscript is below array bounds and ok, it's technically undef behavior to set pointer before first array element.
2016-11-17erts: Refactor crash dumping with cbprintfSverker Eriksson
Instead of passing around a file descriptor use a function pointer to facilitate more advanced backend write logic such as size limitation or compression.

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.

clang will generate smaller code if we avoid reassigning the reg and freg arrays. That can be easily arranged by passing them as arguments to process_main().

2016-06-22Simplify creation of new GC BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
Add the BIF type "gcbif" in bif.tab for defining GC BIFs. That will eliminate some of the hand-written administrative code for handling GC BIFs, saving the developer's time.
2016-05-31Move dirty reduction count to erts_dirty_process_main()Rickard Green
2016-05-31Add dirty_process_main functionSteve Vinoski
Dirty schedulers only execute NIFs, so having them execute the full process_main function isn't necessary. Add dirty_process_main for dirty schedulers to execute instead. Add erts_pre_dirty_nif(), called when preparing to execute a dirty nif. Add more dirty NIF tests to verify that activities requiring the process main lock can succeed when the process is executing a dirty NIF.

2016-04-15erts: Implement tracer modulesLukas Larsson
Add the possibility to use modules as trace data receivers. The functions in the module have to be nifs as otherwise complex trace probes will be very hard to handle (complex means trace probes for ports for example). This commit changes the way that the ptab->tracer field works from always being an immediate, to now be NIL if no tracer is present or else be the tuple {TracerModule, TracerState} where TracerModule is an atom that is later used to lookup the appropriate tracer callbacks to call and TracerState is just passed to the tracer callback. The default process and port tracers have been rewritten to use the new API. This commit also changes the order which trace messages are delivered to the potential tracer process. Any enif_send done in a tracer module may be delayed indefinitely because of lock order issues. If a message is delayed any other trace message send from that process is also delayed so that order is preserved for each traced entity. This means that for some trace events (i.e. send/receive) the events may come in an unintuitive order (receive before send) to the trace receiver. Timestamps are taken when the trace message is generated so trace messages from differented processes may arrive with the timestamp out of order. Both the erlang:trace and seq_trace:set_system_tracer accept the new tracer module tracers and also the backwards compatible arguments. OTP-10267

2016-02-25Allow erlang:finish_loading/1 to load more than one moduleBjörn Gustavsson
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

2016-02-24erts: Change erl_exit into erts_exitSverker Eriksson
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).

2016-02-02erts: Add microstate accountingLukas Larsson
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%. OTP-12345
