2018-01-19erts: Optimize move_cons & move_boxedSverker Eriksson
Replace double pointer with return that can mostly be ignored. Use restrict pointers.

2016-10-14erts: Check hipe stack in check_process_codeMagnus Lång
This is part of commit 1bd508921dd93086b05e7d0038b816b36c421d86. I did not include the fun-checking as we have a new purge strategy for funs in OTP 20. That remains to be solved some other way for hipe.

2016-07-06check_process_code: Sweep HiPE stack for literalsMagnus Lång
Because check_process_code neglected checking the HiPE stack for references to the literal area, such references would survive the purge and subsequent deletion of a module and its literal area. These dangling references would then cause incorrect behaviour or even hard crashes of the VM. By simply adding a scan of the HiPE stack to check_process_code and erts_garbage_collect_literals, this problem is fixed. In order to support full stack walks without deleting the graylimit trap, a new stack walking interface function, nstack_walk_init_sdesc_ignore_trap() was introduced.
2016-06-30hipe: Add assertion for gc in bif without wrapperMagnus Lång
An easy source of tricky bugs is to start calling the garbage collector from a built-in function without adding that bif to hipe_bif_list.m4. With this change we, in the debug build, keep track of whether the canonical stack and heap pointers are stored in the PCB or in registers/stack, allowing us to catch this class of mistakes with an assertion.

2015-11-12Fragmented young heap generation and off_heap_message_queue optionRickard Green
* The youngest generation of the heap can now consist of multiple blocks. Heap fragments and message fragments are added to the youngest generation when needed without triggering a GC. After a GC the youngest generation is contained in one single block. * The off_heap_message_queue process flag has been added. When enabled all message data in the queue is kept off heap. When a message is selected from the queue, the message fragment (or heap fragment) containing the actual message is attached to the youngest generation. Messages stored off heap is not part of GC.

2012-05-10Remove stale code for hybrid heap and incremental GCBjörn Gustavsson
The hybrid heap emulator was last working in the non-SMP R11B run-time system. When the constant pools were introduced in R12B, the hybrid heap emulator was not updated to handle them. At this point, the harm from reduced readability of the code is greater than any potential usefulness of keeping the code.

2011-01-31Remove hipe constants poolPaul Guyot
Hipe constants used to be allocated within a single, fixed-size pool for interaction with the garbage collector. However, the garbage collector no longer depends on constants being allocated within a single pool, and the fixed size of the pool both meant unnecessary allocations on most deployments and crashes on deployments requiring more constants. The code was simplified to directly invoke erts_alloc. Debugging and undocumented function hipe_bifs:show_literals/0 was removed (it returned true and output text to the console), and debugging and undocumented function hipe_bifs:constants_size/0 was rewritten with a global to count the size of allocated constants.
