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.
2016-10-17erts: Cleanup dead codeSverker Eriksson
2016-10-14erts: Replace unsafe Module.first_hipe_refSverker Eriksson
with hash table mod2mfa_tab
2016-10-14erts: Move new hipe ref and sdesc lists to loader stateSverker Eriksson
2016-10-14Add a loader state for HiPE code loadingMagnus Lång
Just like the BEAM loader state (as returned by erlang:prepare_loading/2), the HiPE loader state is contained in a magic binary. Eventually, we will separate HiPE loading into a prepare and a finalise phase, like the BEAM loader, where the prepare phase will be implemented by hipe_unified_loader and the finalise phase be implemented in C by hipe_load.c and beam_load.c, making prepare side-effect free and finalise atomic. The finalise phase will be exposed through the erlang:finish_loading/1 API, just like the BEAM loader, as this will allow HiPE and BEAM modules to be mixed in the same atomic "commit". The usage of a loader state makes it easier to keep track of all resources allocated during loading, and will not only make it easy to prevent leaks when hipe_unified_loader crashes, but also paves the way for proper, leak-free, unloading of HiPE modules.
2016-10-10erts: Improve hipe load/upgrade/purge machinerySverker Eriksson
A step toward better integration of hipe load and purge Highlights: * code_server no longer needs to call hipe_unified_loader:post_beam_load/1 Instead new internal function hipe_redirect_to_module() is called by loading BIFs to patch native call sites if needed. * hipe_purge_module() is called by erts_internal:purge_module/2 to purge any native code. * struct hipe_mfa_info redesigned and only used for exported functions that are called from or implemented by native code. A list of native call sites (struct hipe_ref) are kept for each hipe_mfa_info. * struct hipe_sdesc used by hipe_find_mfa_from_ra() to build native stack traces.

with a copy_module() function.
2016-09-14Don't leak old code when loading a modules with an on_load functionBjörn Gustavsson
Normally, calling code:delete/1 before re-loading the code for a module is unnecessary but causes no problem. But there will be be problems if the new code has an on_load function. Code with an on_load function will always be loaded as old code to allowed it to be easily purged if the on_load function would fail. If the on_load function succeeds, the old and current code will be swapped. So in the scenario where code:delete/1 has been called explicitly, there is old code but no current code. Loading code with an on_load function will cause the reference to the old code to be overwritten. That will at best cause a memory leak, and at worst an emulator crash (especially if NIFs are involved). To avoid that situation, we will put the code with the on_load function in a special, third slot in Module. ERL-240

2015-12-15erts: Refactor out erts functions from hashLukas Larsson

2012-08-31erts: Refactor naming regarding code_write_permissionSverker Eriksson
The concept of code_write_permission is used by tracing as well and is not specific to code_ix.
2012-02-23erts: Switch order between code_ix lock and thread blockingSverker Eriksson
Make for simpler code when we just can block threads and continue without having to release code_ix lock and repeat code lookups to avoid race.
2012-02-21erts: Fix memory query for non-blocking module tableSverker Eriksson
2012-02-21erts: Refactor more renaming as "staging"Sverker Eriksson
2012-02-21erts: Refactor code_ixSverker Eriksson
Move implementation from beam_load into new file code_ix.c and module.c and make some function inline.
2012-02-21erts: Keep count of number of global traced functions per moduleSverker Eriksson
2012-02-21erts: Move number-of-breakpoint counter from code to Module structSverker Eriksson
The is a refactoring in preparation to add a counter in Module struct for export entry tracing. It is nicer if the two are kept together.
2012-02-21erts: Rename "loader" code_ix as "staging" code_ixSverker Eriksson
Staging is a better and more general name as does not necessary need to involve code loading (can be deletion, tracing, etc).
2012-02-21erts: Refactor new function index_put_entry()Sverker Eriksson
Same as index_put() but returns pointer to entry instead of index integer.

2011-11-13Replace system block with thread progress blockRickard Green
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.
