2011-11-14beam_load.c: Factor out cleaning up of the loader state into free_state()Björn Gustavsson
2011-11-14BEAM loader: Clean up handling of error reasonsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2011-11-14Remove the useless -l optionBjörn Gustavsson
The -l option used to print information about modules being loaded, but now it prints very little information.
2011-11-14beam_load.c: Simplify handling of the bs_put_string_II instructionBjörn Gustavsson
Remove the special-case handling of the bs_put_string_II instruction; simply use the string patch mechanism that is already used for the i_bs_match_string_* instructions.

2011-11-13Make sure only one thread exits the runtime systemRickard Green
The runtime system crashed if more than one thread tried to exit the runtime system at the same time.
2011-11-13Use critical sections as mutex implementation on WindowsRickard Green
Windows native critical sections are now used internally in the runtime system as mutex implementation. This since they perform better under extreme contention than our own implementation.
2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for async threadsRickard Green
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.
2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for misc aux workRickard Green
2011-11-13Implement generic lock-free queueRickard Green
The implementation of an ERTS internal, generic, many to one, lock-free queue for communication between threads. The many to one scenario is very common in ERTS, so it can be used in a lot of places in the future. Changing to this queue from a lock based queue, however, often requires some redesigning. This since we have often used the lock of the queue to protect other information too.
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The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by new functionality for blocking the system.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.
2011-11-13Optimize memory allocationRickard Green
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.

2011-11-02beam_loader: Support external funs in the literal poolBjörn Gustavsson
A future release of the compiler might want to treat external funs as literals. Make sure that the loader can cope with an export entry being created from both an entry in the literal pool and from the export table (i.e. if an external fun refers to an exported function in the same module).

Affects enif_inspect_iolist_as_binary() on iolists and enif_inspect_binary() on byte-unaligned binaries. Also need to allocate inspection buffers in ERTS_ALC_T_NIF for process independent environments, as we don't know when and where the environment will be freed.

2011-10-26erts-hipe: Change THE_NON_VALUE for HiPE enabled debug emulatorSverker Eriksson
This is a work-around as there are hipe BIFs that return untagged integers that may be intepreted as THE_NON_VALUE (24). Hipe bifs that return offsets as untagged integers: hipe_bs_put_utf8 hipe_bs_put_utf16be hipe_bs_put_utf16le Hipe bifs that return raw pointers: hipe_find_na_or_make_stub hipe_nonclosure_address
2011-10-26erts-hipe: Deliberate leak of native fun entriesSverker Eriksson
This is a workaround as hipe code upgrade/unloading does not work properly.
2011-10-26erts-hipe: Fix new trap conventions for x86, amd64 and ppcSverker Eriksson
2011-10-26Store the trap address in p->iBjörn Gustavsson
For cleanliness, store the trap address in p->i instead of in p->def_arg_reg[3].
2011-10-26Store the trap arguments in the X register arrayBjörn Gustavsson
Store arguments for a trap in the X register array to allow traps to have any number of arguments.
2011-10-26Simplify the instructions for calling BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
Taking advantage of the new calling convention for BIFs, we only need one instruction to handle BIFs with any number of arguments. This change eliminates the limit of three arguments for BIFs, but traps are still limited to three arguments.
2011-10-26Change the calling convention for BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2011-10-26Use the proper macros in all BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
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.

2011-10-13Allow noncharacter code points in unicode encoding and decodingBjörn Gustavsson
The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters 16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded. There is two ways to fix that inconsistency. We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally within an application and it will make encoding and decoding slightly faster.

2011-10-11Do small optimisation on platforms with 32 bit EtermLukas Larsson
On 32 bit we know that a comparison with a lossfull double and a short will always give the float is being superior. So therefore we only have to check the sign on the double.
