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
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
When the runtime system had fewer schedulers than logical processors,
the system could get an unnecessarily large amount reader groups.

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.

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.

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.

* rickard/timer-wheel/OTP-8835:
Use mutex instead of rwlock
|
|
* pan/binary-bif-valgrind-leak/OTP-8823:
Teach erl_bif_binary not leak memory by doing malloc(0)
|
|
Use mutex instead of rwlock since the read lock is more or less
unused and it can be quite contended.
|
|
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'.
|
|
Lower the scheduler wakeup threshold since schedulers aren't spuriously
woken as before (since commit 59ee2a593090e7d53c97ceba63cbd300d1b9657e).
|
|
Added erlang:system_info(build_type) which makes it
easier to chose drivers, NIF libraries, etc based
on build type of the runtime system.

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.

Fix erroneous error reports about unbind failure

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.

natively compiled modules
When loading a module, code area is allocated and header fields
code[MI_ATTR_SIZE] as well as code[MI_COMPILE_SIZE] are not
cleared. They are only set later when freeze_code is called, if the
module has attributes and compilation info, which should always be the
case. When loading a native module (as a stub), code is allocated as
well (to contain the stub functions), and code[MI_ATTR_SIZE] as well
as code[MI_COMPILE_SIZE] are not cleared either. Yet, freeze_code will
not be called (since there is no threaded code to freeze for native
modules), and as a result, these header fields are never set. They can
contain any garbage.
Later on, when writing a crash dump, the attributes and compilation
info are dumped, using these particular header fields. If the size is
garbage, the dump attribute function will iterate until it segfaults.
The fix consists in clearing code[MI_ATTR_SIZE] and
code[MI_COMPILE_SIZE] in both cases (threaded code and native
code). Even if non-native modules should contain code and attributes
and therefore the values code[MI_ATTR_SIZE] and code[MI_COMPILE_SIZE]
should be set by freeze_code, it seems cleaner and easier to maintain
to clear the whole the header in the "initialize code area"
section. As a result, crash dump will not segfault. Instead, native
modules will have an empty attributes and compilation info section in
the crash dump.

As reported in erlang-bugs, the following sequence of events crashes the VM:
1. Module M1 is loaded and in native mode.
2. Module M2 is not loaded, in emulated mode, and has an on_load function.
3. M1 calls some function in M2. This works.
4. M1 again calls some function in M2. This segfaults.
The reason for the crash is that when the beam loader fixes up export
entries after a successful on_load function call, it erroneously clears
the ->code[3] field in that module's export entries. This is redundant
(no code in beam relies on ->code[3] being NULL), inconsistent with
modules without on_load functions (there ->code[3] remains a valid beam
instruction after the module is loaded), and breaks native code which needs
the old ->address value in an export entry to remain valid after a module
load step (before the load ->address points to ->code[3], after the load
->address points to the real code but uses of the old ->address value
remain so ->code[3] must remain valid).
Thus the fix for the crash is to simply not clear ->code[3].
This patch fixes R14A and should also fix R13B04.
(There does exist a performance bug in this area, but it is unrelated
to the on_load feature so will be fixed separately.)

As the overhead counter got larger and never really was needed in ets objects,
I removed them.
A few stray comments of XXX:PaN type from halfword dev removed in the process.

Calling erlang:system_info/1 with the new argument 'update_cpu_info'
will make the runtime system reread and update the internally stored
CPU information. For more information see the documentation of
erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info).
|
|
elib_malloc is an alternate memory allocator that
is no longer possible to build.
|
|
A long time ago, the Erlang run-time system could be
build with pre-ANSI/ISO-C (K&R) C compilers, but that is
no longer possible. Remove the remaining uses of the
compatibility macros that made it possible that possible.
|
|
The header file erts/emulator/beam/decl.h is no longer used.
