2015-02-19remove perfctr supportMikael Pettersson
Perfctr is a Linux kernel extension that allows programmatic access to the performance monitoring counters found in most current CPUs. However, development of perfctr ceased after 2010, and it cannot be used with Linux kernels newer than 2.6.32. Therefore the perfctr support code in the Erlang VM is effectively dead code, so this patch removes it.
2015-01-26hipe: improve error handling at code allocation failureMikael Pettersson
2015-01-26hipe: remove two obsolete BIFsMikael Pettersson
The hipe_bifs:make_native_stub/2 and hipe_bifs:get_emu_address/1 BIFs were originally used by hipe_unified_loader.erl, but the code been obsolete and disabled for ages. Remove the BIFs and all references to them. In hipe_unified_loader.erl, remove the no-op emu_make_stubs/1 function.
2015-01-26hipe: remove HIPE_ALLOC_CODE macroMikael Pettersson
The HIPE_ALLOC_CODE macro in the HiPE runtime was introduced ages ago to allow x86 and amd64 to switch from erts_alloc() to an mmap() implementation with proper flag setting. Nowadays the macro is identical on all platforms, and serves no purpose. Delete the macro, move the hipe_alloc_code() prototype to hipe_arch.h, and simplify hipe_bifs_enter_code_2().

2015-01-11hipe: fix ARM/Thumb interworkingMikael Pettersson
HiPE on ARM is currently severely broken if the rest of the VM is compiled to run in Thumb mode -- calling native code quickly ends up executing code in the wrong mode and crashing the VM. This is a problem on e.g. Ubuntu which configures its system GCC to generate Thumb by default. It can also be triggered by overriding CC or CFLAGS when compiling the VM. There were three issues that caused the breakage: 1. Assembly-coded functions in hipe_arm_glue.S weren't explicitly tagged as functions, preventing the linker from generating the correct mode-switching call instructions for calls from C to these functions. Fixed by tagging those symbols as functions. 2. A few BIF wrappers were so simple that they performed tailcalls to the C BIFs. This fails to switch mode when C is in Thumb. Fixed by performing ordinary recursive calls when C is in Thumb. 3. The assembly-coded source files weren't explicitly tagged as ARM. Tested with the HiPE testsuite on ARMv7, with the VM built as ARM and as Thumb. Also manually inspected the object code for the beam executable and checked that call sites from C to HiPE's ARM runtime code and vice versa used the correct mode-switching instructions.

2014-10-21erts: Fix bug when hipe tailcalls trapping BIF that disables GCSverker Eriksson
Symptom: base64_SUITE:roundtrip crashes with hipe compiled stdlib. Problem: HIPE_WRAPPER_BIF_DISABLE_GC pushed a "trap frame", but the frame was only popped if the call was recursive. Solution: Only reserve "trap frame" if BIF call is recursive.

2014-04-29erts: Remove some dead hipe specific codeSverker Eriksson
2014-04-29erts: Fix global tracing of beam function when called from hipe codeSverker Eriksson
Make hipe to beam calls use export entry. Makes it a lot easier to handle global tracing correctly (breakpoints in export entry). A beam function should now be traced correctly regardless how it is called. This will also fix a SEGV crash when a hipe stub is made pointing into a traced export entry and tracing is then stopped which clears the export entry causing the hipe stub to execute beam instruction NULL. This commit assumes that hipe code never calls local beam functions, which should be the case nowadays as we only hipe compile entire modules.

2014-03-07Add a BIF that only returns the atom okYiannis Tsiouris
A call in llvm_fix_pinned_regs/0 is inserted in the beginning of LLVM unwind blocks (i.e. code executed when an LLVM 'invoke' call triggers an exception) in order to get the BP and SP registers right. This is needed because LLVM exception handling doesn't provide the return value (that also contains the values for these registers, as defined in the HiPE Calling Convention for LLVM) on the 'landingpad's.

This commit is a preparation for eliminating a race condition loading the native code for modules whose BEAM code has already been loaded. Here we introduce two new BIFs so that looking up a fun entry is separate from setting the native address in the fun entry.

2013-11-18Execution of system tasks in context of another processRickard Green
A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of another process will be notified by a message when the task has executed. This message will be on the form: {RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}. A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is made by calling the statically linked in NIF erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It should *only* be called from BIF implementations. Currently defined system tasks are: * garbage_collect * check_process_code Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future. The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3] BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the 'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the system will be performed solely in the context of the process being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over context switches. Newly introduced BIFs: * erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option list. Introduced option: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous garbage collect requests. * erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an option list. Introduced options: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous check process code requests. * {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort if gc should be needed). These options have been introduced as a preparation for parallelization of check_process_code operations when the code_server is about to purge a module.

2013-02-13Change the return value of hipe_bifs:remove_refs_from/1Kostis Sagonas
In order to avoid an ummatched return warning in erts and make the code more sane, the return value of the bif was changed from [] to 'ok'. (Probably more hipe_bifs need such changes but they will have to wait.) While at it, the code of various functions in hipe_unified_loader was shortened by using lists:foreach/1 instead of explicit recursion.

2012-12-20erts,hipe: Make hipe compiler ask running emulator about process struct offsetsSverker Eriksson
Changes in "struct process" has made native code more depenedent on if the executing emulator is smp enabled or not. This commit will make a default built hipe compiler (without -xcomp) to ask the running emulator about process struct offsets. This will make native code work (again) as long as the same emulator is used for compilation as well as execution of the native code.
