2019-03-29stdlib: fix re:replace on LTO buildsSergei Trofimovich
Fabio Coatti reported elixir build failure in https://bugs.gentoo.org/681778. The minimal reproducer looks like that (from otp git tree): $ ./configure CFLAGS='-O2 -flto' LDFLAGS='-O2 -flto=8' $ make $ ERL_TOP=$PWD \ PATH=$ERL_TOP/bin:$PATH \ \ bin/erl \ \ -noshell -eval 're:replace("a","b","c",[{return,list}]).' \ -s erlang halt {"init terminating in do_boot",{badarg,[{re,replace,["a","b","c",[{return,list}]], [{file,"re.erl"},{line,362}]}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,680}]}, {init,start_it,1,[]}, {init,start_em,1,[]}, {init,do_boot,3,[]}]}} init terminating in do_boot ({badarg,[{re,replace,[[_],[_],[_],[_]],[{_},{_}]}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{_},{_}]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]},{init,do_boot,3,[]}]}) Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...done The failure happens in libpcre2 where stack overflow is mis-identified at function entry of erts_pcre_compile2() compile_regex() if (PUBL(stack_guard) != NULL && PUBL(stack_guard)()) { *errorcodeptr= ERR85; return FALSE; } The stack "overflow" detection happens in thr_wrapper() ethr_set_stacklimit__() because the stack usage code relies on the fact that ethr_set_stacklimit__() and similar functions don't get inlined into callers for stack growth measurement. Before the change inlining avoidance was achieved by putting functions into standalone translation units. LTO makes this technique inefficient. The change marks functions explicitly as __attribute__((__noinline__)) on gcc. Reported-by: Fabio Coatti Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/681778 Signed-off-by: Sergei Trofimovich <[email protected]>

2019-02-21erts: Remove a copy of distribution data payloadLukas Larsson
Before this change the inet driver was in list mode and thus the data from it had to be copied when received by the dist entry. This change puts the tcp port in binary mode and makes the any refc binary created by it be used all the way to the process where it is decoded. Thus eliminating one copy of the entire message payload.

2018-12-18Make length/1 yieldingBjörn Gustavsson
The guard BIF `length/1` would calculate the length of the list in one go without yielding, even if the list was were long. To make it even worse, the call to `length/1` would only cost a single reduction. This commit reimplements `length/1` so that it eats a number of reductions proportional to the length of the list, and yields if the available reductions run out.

2018-11-06Add a persistent term storageBjörn Gustavsson
Persistent terms are useful for storing Erlang terms that are never or infrequently updated. They have the following advantages: * Constant time access. A persistent term is not copied when it is looked up. The constant factor is lower than for ETS, and no locks are taken when looking up a term. * Persistent terms are not copied in garbage collections. * There is only ever one copy of a persistent term (until it is deleted). That makes them useful for storing configuration data that needs to be easily accessible by all processes. Persistent terms have the following drawbacks: * Updates are expensive. The hash table holding the keys for the persistent terms are updated whenever a persistent term is added, updated or deleted. * Updating or deleting a persistent term triggers a "global GC", which will schedule a heap scan of all processes to search the heap of all processes for the deleted term. If a process still holds a reference to the deleted term, the process will be garbage collected and the term copied to the heap of the process. This global GC can make the system less responsive for some time. Three BIFs (implemented in C in the emulator) is the entire interface to the persistent term functionality: * put(Key, Value) to store a persistent term. * get(Key) to look up a persistent term. * erase(Key) to delete a persistent term. There are also two additional BIFs to obtain information about persistent terms: * info() to return a map with information about persistent terms. * get() to return a list of a {Key,Value} tuples for all persistent terms. (The values are not copied.)

2018-10-24Extend the sharing-preserving routines to optionally copy literalsBjörn Gustavsson
In the implementation of the zero-copying term storage, we want to preserve sharing, but not copy literals because the modules holding the literals could be unloaded under our feet.

Otherwise it should behave like ERTS_DE_STATE_CONNECTED.

2018-04-16erts: Keep track of which NIF a scheduler is executingJohn Högberg
This may be of interest in crash dumps and allows the upcoming allocation tagging feature to track allocations on a per-NIF basis. Note that this is only updated when user code calls a NIF; it's not altered when the emulator calls NIFs during code upgrades or tracing.

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.

2018-01-03Replace the libc environment with a thread-safe emulationJohn Högberg
putenv(3) and friends aren't thread-safe regardless of how you slice it; a global lock around all environment operations (like before) keeps things safe as far as our own operations go, but we have absolutely no control over what libc or a library dragged in by a driver/NIF does -- they're free to call getenv(3) or putenv(3) without honoring our lock. This commit solves this by setting up an "emulated" environment which can't be touched without going through our interfaces. Third-party libraries can still shoot themselves in the foot but benign uses of os:putenv/2 will no longer risk crashing the emulator.
