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.
2011-11-09erts,hipe: Limited support for hipe cross compilationSverker Eriksson
Normally hipe assumes that generated native code will be executed on the same emulator as the hipe compiler is running on. This commit allows you to build a hipe "cross-compiler" for a different configured emulator (but for same architecture). Example: > cd lib/hipe > make clean > make XCOMP=yes FLAVOR=smp TYPE=debug This hipe compiler will generate code to be executed on the debug compiled smp-emulator at $ERL_TOP.
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: Make some primops use new BIF calling conventionSverker Eriksson
These primops use the standard_bif_interface_X macros in hipe_bif_list.m4 and must therefor be implemented as bifs for things to work. Maybe there is room for optimization here to call the primops more directly with arguments in registers without having to push them on stack to emulate bif calls.
2011-10-26erts-hipe: Adapt generated BIF wrappers for new calling conventionSverker Eriksson
x86 and amd64: Push BIF__ARGS array on C-stack. ppc, sparc and arm: Write BIF__ARGS array to P->def_arg_reg[] Just the simplest solution with limited assembler knowledge, probably room for improvements.

No semantic change. Just easier to debug when jumps are spelled out and not obscured by yet another layer of macros.

2011-09-06BEAM: Unify allocation of X and float registersBjörn Gustavsson
In the half-word emulator, smp emulator, and non-smp emulator the X register and float register arrays were allocated in different ways. Always allocate the registers and store the pointers to the allocated register arrays in the scheduler data.
2011-08-16emulator: Add a fourth element in exception stacktracesBjörn Gustavsson
This commit is a preparation for introducing location information (filename/line number) in stacktraces in exceptions. Currently a stack trace looks like: [{Mod1,Function1,Arity1}, . . . {ModN,FunctionN,ArityN}] Add a forth element to each tuple that can be used indication the filename and line number of the source file: [{Mod1,Function1,Arity1,Location1}, . . . {ModN,FunctionN,ArityN,LocationN}] In this commit, the fourth element will just be an empty list, and we will change all code that look at or manipulate stacktraces.

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.
2011-01-29Fix several bugs related to hibernate/3 and HiPEPaul Guyot
This commit fixes four related bugs: - calling hibernate/3 using a dynamic call would fail with badarg as hibernate/3 as a BIF was not implemented. hibernate/3 is generally provided as a Beam instruction, and code is translated to use this instruction when loaded. - calling hibernate/3 from HiPE would fail with badarg because this would call the aforementioned BIF which was not implemented. - calling hibernate/3 with some HiPE-native garbage in the process heap would randomly crash at the next garbage collect. This bug only happened in a complex, yet reproduceable scenarios, where native code calls beam code that calls hibernate/3, and the process has some garbage when being hibernated and the process generates garbage when awaken. - when entering HiPE, the process current_function can be set and be inaccurate. The fix is three folded: - hibernate_3 BIF now actually works instead of throwing a badarg. While hibernate_3 BIF was (usually) not called from BEAM, it is called from HiPE. hibernate behaviour is very close to the scheduler and this is why it is implemented as an instruction in BEAM. The fix consists in doing the actual hibernation (through the now exported erts_hibernate function) and setting the process flag to TRAP as well as the process status to P_WAITING. On BIF epilogue in both BEAM and HiPE, this status is tested on TRAP and if set, the scheduler is invoked. The i_hibernate instruction and translation code is now redundant and could be deleted. - hibernation now also empties the HiPE native stack, with a new function hipe_empty_nstack provided by Mikael Pettersson. - when entering HiPE through hipe_mode_switch, p->current is cleared, as suggested by Mikael Pettersson. p->current normally hold a pointer to the {M,F,A} of the current function if it exists. When hibernating, it is set to {erlang,hibernate,3}, and all stdlib hibernate tests (gen_server_SUITE:hibernate/1, proc_lib_suite:hibernate/1, etc.) actually rely on this information. Clearing p->current fixes the tests and avoids the surprise one might have when querying the process info of a process that hibernated and woke up in a native function. Non-regression tests are provided, a test for the dynamic call as well as a Makefile-handled duplication of the hibernate_SUITE into hibernate_native_SUITE for the HiPE case.
2010-09-30fix 64-bit writes to 32-bit struct field in HiPE runtimeMikael Pettersson
In the HiPE part of the runtime system's Process struct there is a state field which is 32 bits wide even on 64-bit machines. There is a single instruction in the HiPE AMD64 runtime where this field is incorrectly written with a 64-bit store. Luckily the extraneous 32 bits are written as zeros to 4 bytes of tail-padding at the end of the struct, so nothing should have broken because of this. The same bug exists in the HiPE PowerPC64 runtime (in development), but on the big-endian PPC64 the effect is to write the actual value to the tail-padding and zero to the struct field, which potentially breaks TRAPs from BIFs (depending on BIF arities and how many parameter registers the runtime has been configured to use). Thanks to Paul Guyot for noticing the oversized write on AMD64.

2010-09-06Fix call to erts_gc_after_bif_call in hipe gluePaul Guyot
R12B-0 changed the signature of erts_gc_after_bif_call and it now takes 4 parameters instead of 2 in R11B-5. Yet, the glue code was not updated accordingly. As a result, the function erts_gc_after_bif_call was called with garbage and would randomly cause a crash later in the garbage collector code. The fix consists in passing NULL and 0 for the third and fourth parameters, since there is no term to add to rootset, recovering the behaviour of R11B-5 (see otp_src_R11B-5/erts/emulator/beam/erl_gc.c, line 314). (Includes assembly language fixes and code style improvements suggested by Mikael Pettersson.)
2010-08-27robustify hipe_bifs:get_hrvtime/0Mikael Pettersson
The HiPE runtime system has a hipe_bifs:get_hrvtime/0 BIF which mimics the non-standard gethrvtime() C API. It's possible to configure the implementation to use the "perfctr" Linux kernel extension for performance-monitoring counters, in which case get_hrvtime has very high precision and low overhead. Otherwise it uses the same code as runtime(statistics). This patch changes the get_hrvtime implementation to do a runtime check to see if perfctr is available, and to use the fallback code rather than returning a dummy value if perfctr is unavailable, which is common. The current dummy value return is a bug. It messes up the API and either breaks callers (they get badarg when trying to compute on the value) or forces them to implement checks and fallbacks themselves. Timing code in HiPE's test suites and benchmarks is known to be affected.

2010-08-13fix hipe_bifs_alloc_data_2 to avoid "Yikes!" warningMikael Pettersson
It's been reported that HiPE-enabled Erlang VMs running on BSD systems sometimes generate messages like Yikes! erts_alloc() returned misaligned address 0x8016a512c These originate from hipe_bif0.c:hipe_bifs_alloc_data_2(). A native code module has an associated data area of some size and alignment. In the case where the size is zero, the alignment is irrelevant, but the allocation BIF checks it anyway. The warning then triggers on systems where malloc(0) returns blocks with less alignment than we (erroneously) expected. The fix is to simply skip the allocation in this case and return NULL. The loader won't actually use the address in this case so that's safe. This is also an optimization since it avoids allocating memory that cannot be used, and it avoids fragmenting the system heap with useless tiny blocks. A second problem is that the warning message failed to identify its origin. Fixed by prefixing the message by the BIF's name rather than the silly Yikes! string. Tested and confirmed to solve the original reporter's problem.
