2011-06-14Improve ethread atomicsRickard Green
The ethread atomics API now also provide double word size atomics. Double word size atomics are implemented using native atomic instructions on x86 (when the cmpxchg8b instruction is available) and on x86_64 (when the cmpxchg16b instruction is available). On other hardware where 32-bit atomics or word size atomics are available, an optimized fallback is used; otherwise, a spinlock, or a mutex based fallback is used. The ethread library now performs runtime tests for presence of hardware features, such as for example SSE2 instructions, instead of requiring this to be determined at compile time. There are now functions implementing each atomic operation with the following implied memory barrier semantics: none, read, write, acquire, release, and full. Some of the operation-barrier combinations aren't especially useful. But instead of filtering useful ones out, and potentially miss a useful one, we implement them all. A much smaller set of functionality for native atomics are required to be implemented than before. More or less only cmpxchg and a membar macro are required to be implemented for each atomic size. Other functions will automatically be constructed from these. It is, of course, often wise to implement more that this if possible from a performance perspective.

2011-05-13Reduce number of atomic opsRickard Green
Counters for active, and used schedulers have been coalesced in order to reduce the amount of atomic operations needed. Some currently not strictly necessary barriers have also been added in order to be future proof.

2011-05-10Fix overflow in list_to_bitstring/1Björn Gustavsson
Noticed-by: Jon Meredith
2011-05-10Replace io_list_len() with erts_iolist_size()Björn Gustavsson
The io_list_len() function returns an int, where a negative return value indicates a type error. One problem is that an int only consists of 32 bits in a 64-bit emulator. Changing the return type to Sint will solve that problem, but in the 32-bit emulator, a large iolist and a iolist with a type error will both return a negative number. (Noticed by Jon Meredith.) Another problem is that for iolists whose total size exceed the word size, the result would be truncated, leading to a subsequent buffer overflow and emulator crash. Therefore, introduce the new erts_iolist_size() function which returns a status indication and writes the result size through a passed pointer. If the result size does not fit in a word, return an overflow indication.

2011-05-06io.c: Make io_list_vec_len() less generalBjörn Gustavsson
io_list_vec_len() is slightly more general than it needs to be. Specifically: * The only caller always passes ERL_SMALL_IO_BIN_LIMIT as the value for the bin_limit parameter, so the bin_limit parameter can be eliminated. * The only caller never passes any NULL pointers, so there is no need test the pointers before writing through them.

2011-05-04iolist_size/1: Fix truncation of resultBjörn Gustavsson
iolist_size/1 would silently return a truncated result for iolists whose size exceeded the word size. For example: iolist(lists:duplicate(256, <<0:(1 bsl 24)/unit:8>>)). would return 0 (instead of 4294967296 or 1 bsl 32). Rewrite iolist_size/1 to accumulate the size in a bignum if necessary and result the correct result.

2011-04-11Only set status P_WAITING when neededRickard Green
The status of a process was unnecessarily set to waiting before the process was enqueued in a run queue. This bug was harmless up until OTP-R14B01. In OTP-R14B02 erlang:hibernate/3 was fixed (OTP-9125). After the introduction of OTP-9125, the previously harmless process status bug sometimes caused erroneous badarg exceptions from process_info().
