2010-11-22ETS 'compressed' option.Sverker Eriksson
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").

* rickard/cpu-groups/OTP-8861: Generalize reader groups Move cpu topology functionality into erl_cpu_topology.[ch] Do not use more reader groups for schedulers than schedulers Conflicts: erts/emulator/beam/erl_init.c
2010-11-18Generalize reader groupsRickard Green
Reader groups have been generalized to cpu groups which can be used for implementing reader groups, but also for implementing other functionality in the future.

2010-11-18Do not use more reader groups for schedulers than schedulersRickard Green
When the runtime system had fewer schedulers than logical processors, the system could get an unnecessarily large amount reader groups.

Tracing to port could cause an emulator crash when unloading the trace driver.
2010-11-02Be less eager to set dist entry in busy stateRickard Green
The runtime system is now less eager to suspend processes sending messages over the distribution. The default value of the distribution buffer busy limit has also been increased from 128 KB to 1 MB. This in order to improve throughput.
2010-11-02Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limitScott Lystig Fritchie
Id: OTP-8912 This patch creates a new family of flags with the "+z" prefix. It further creates a new configuration option called "dbbl" (which is the first letter of the name dist_buf_busy_limit). Example usage of this flag would be "+zdbbl 1048576". This patch creates an adjustable buffer limit for the amount of data that may be buffered by the erlang distribution code (in dist.c specifically). Before this patch, this hard-coded constant was used: #define ERTS_DE_BUSY_LIMIT (128*1024) When large binaries are transmitted between nodes (or simply a lot of medium-sized binaries), it is very easy to hit the old 128KB limit. Processes that use the erlang:system_monitor() BIF to monitor system events can be spammed by {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} message tuples at rates of tens to even hundreds of messages/second. A larger buffer limit will allow processes to buffer more outgoing messages over the distribution. When the buffer limit has been reached, sending processes will be suspended until the buffer size has shrunk. The buffer limit is per distribution channel. A higher limit will give lower latency and higher throughput at the expense of higher memory usage. A variation of this patch has been in commercial production use in at least two companies that the author is aware of. Larger buffer values can reduce the number of {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} system messages drastically, lower overall messaging latencies, and prevent false timeouts and 'nodedown' messages in extremely busy Mnesia systems. Test suite: there are two tests: a. In erlexec_SUITE.erl to test basic set & get of the value b. In distribution_SUITE.erl, to verify that setting +zdbbl very low will actually change behavior.

2010-10-12Fix erl_drv_tsd_get() and enif_tsd_get()Rickard Green
A bug in erl_drv_tsd_get() and enif_tsd_get() could cause an emulator crash. These functions are currently not used in OTP. That is, the crash only occur on systems with user implemented NIF libraries or drivers that use one of these functions.

There is a bug in system_info BIF causing a crash if erts_get_cpu_topology_term fails. The fix comes with a non-regression test.

It seems to work (at least on a little-endian architecture) by sheer luck.

In a70159b33f20a26b2674d7cf777617c5f0261a5c, the _VOID_ macro was eliminated, but one use of it inside an "#ifdef DEBUG" was forgotten.

2010-09-10Use mutex instead of rwlockRickard Green
Use mutex instead of rwlock since the read lock is more or less unused and it can be quite contended.
2010-09-08Re-enable spin wait on ethreads rwlocksRickard Green
Spin wait on most ethread rwlocks used by the runtime system was unintentionally disabled during development. Spin wait has now been enabled again. This bug appeared in commit 59ee2a593090e7d53c97ceba63cbd300d1b9657e, i.e., it has not been seen in any released versions.

The scheduler wakeup threshold is now possible to adjust at system boot. For more information see the `+swt' command line argument of `erl'.
2010-09-04Lower the scheduler wakeup thresholdRickard Green
Lower the scheduler wakeup threshold since schedulers aren't spuriously woken as before (since commit 59ee2a593090e7d53c97ceba63cbd300d1b9657e).

2010-09-01Fix crash when calling erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info)Rickard Green
Calling erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info) on platforms where no CPU topology was found could result in a crash if other CPU information had changed. This bug was introduced in the 'dev' branch before R14B (commit 1b273b618002d65159453fdfb9520a9476e4423a). That is, the bug has never been seen in a released runtime system.

On platforms where binding of schedulers is not supported, numerous error reports on the form "Scheduler <N> failed to unbind from cpu -1: enotsup" were erroneously issued. This bug was introduced in the 'dev' branch before R14B (commit 1b273b618002d65159453fdfb9520a9476e4423a). That is, the bug has never been seen in a released runtime system. Reported-By: Tuncer Ayaz
