2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system implementation has however previously preformed most operation synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support) it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention issues. The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations of (almost) all signals have been changed. Currently the following signals have been implemented as true asynchronous signals: - Message signals - Exit signals - Monitor signals - Demonitor signals - Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc) - Link signals - Unlink signals - Group leader signals All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the language. The implementation of messages signals was quite asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes. The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file. The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

2018-01-29erts: Refactor hipe x86_64 trampolinesSverker Eriksson
2018-01-29make HiPE work on x86_64 when PIE is enabledbhuztez
Currently HiPE amd64 assumes the runtime system code is loaded into the low 2G of the address space. However, this is not the case when PIE is enabled, it is loaded into a random location. So trampolines are required to call BIFs, and also we have first to load the address of sse2_fnegate_mask to a regisiter before xorpd in fchs.

2018-01-22Don't build a stacktrace if it's only passed to erlang:raise/3Björn Gustavsson
Consider the following function: function({function,Name,Arity,CLabel,Is0}, Lc0) -> try %% Optimize the code for the function. catch Class:Error:Stack -> io:format("Function: ~w/~w\n", [Name,Arity]), erlang:raise(Class, Error, Stack) end. The stacktrace is retrieved, but it is only used in the call to erlang:raise/3. There is no need to build a stacktrace in this function. We can avoid the building if we introduce an instruction called raw_raise/3 that works exactly like the erlang:raise/3 BIF except that its third argument must be a raw stacktrace.

particularly slow erlc when compiler is hipe compiled. hipe_unified_loader:load did not patch external call sites and instead caused a double hipe mode switch per call. hipe_unified_loader:load is only used for early modules first loaded as beam and by code:atomic_load and friends.

Add syntax in try/catch to retrieve the stacktrace directly

2017-11-30Add syntax in try/catch to retrieve the stacktrace directlyBjörn Gustavsson
This commit adds a new syntax for retrieving the stacktrace without calling erlang:get_stacktrace/0. That allow us to deprecate erlang:get_stacktrace/0 and ultimately remove it. The problem with erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is that it can keep huge terms in a process for an indefinite time after an exception. The stacktrace can be huge after a 'function_clause' exception or a failed call to a BIF or operator, because the arguments for the call will be included in the stacktrace. For example: 1> catch abs(lists:seq(1, 1000)). {'EXIT',{badarg,[{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}]}} 2> erlang:get_stacktrace(). [{erlang,abs, [[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22, 23,24|...]], []}, {erl_eval,do_apply,6,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,674}]}, {erl_eval,expr,5,[{file,"erl_eval.erl"},{line,431}]}, {shell,exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,687}]}, {shell,eval_exprs,7,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,642}]}, {shell,eval_loop,3,[{file,"shell.erl"},{line,627}]}] 3> We can extend the syntax for clauses in try/catch to optionally bind the stacktrace to a variable. Here is an example using the current syntax: try Expr catch C:E -> Stk = erlang:get_stacktrace(), . . . In the new syntax, it would look like: try Expr catch C:E:Stk -> . . . Only a variable (not a pattern) is allowed in the stacktrace position, to discourage matching of the stacktrace. (Matching would also be expensive, because the raw format of the stacktrace would have to be converted to the cooked form before matching.) Note that: try Expr catch E -> . . . is a shorthand for: try Expr catch throw:E -> . . . If the stacktrace is to be retrieved for a throw, the 'throw:' prefix must be explicitly included: try Expr catch throw:E:Stk -> . . .

HiPE: Support for literal tag, tests and bugfixes
2017-11-11fix output formatting in several HiPE debug BIFsMikael Pettersson
Fix formatting in hipe_bifs:show_pcb/1, hipe_bifs:show_estack/1, and hipe_bifs:show_nstack/1. fflush(stdout) before switching from printf() to erts_printf() to avoid garbled output. Adjust field lengths to work on both 64- and 32-bit systems. Tested on Linux/x86_64 (64-bit) and Linux/ARMv7 (32-bit).

2017-11-05HiPE: Support literal tagsMagnus Lång
Literal tags are used by the VM as an alternative to reserving a large virtual memory space in order to be able to quickly identify which terms are literals. The use of literal tags harms performance, but is useful to support systems where allocating a large amount of virtual memory is not an option.
2017-11-05HiPE: Make is_divisible a primopMagnus Lång
Since gcunsafe values are live over is_divisible calls (although only the happy path, which never GCd), it should be a primop so there cannot be any GCs.
2017-11-05fix output formatting in hipe_bifs:show_heap/1Mikael Pettersson

2017-11-03Prevent hipe_bs_validate_unicode from doing GCSverker Eriksson
Fix for x86_64 only. The calling native code can not handle a GC as it has a raw pointer where to write the binary data. If a GC happens the data (utf32) will be written to the old deallocated heap.
2017-10-01Eliminate the OpCode() macroBjörn Gustavsson

2017-10-01Refactor macros for accessing Beam instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
The BeamOp() macro in erl_vm.h is clumsy to use. All users cast the return value to BeamInstr. Define new macros that are easier to use. In the future, we might want to pack an operand into the same word as the pointer to the instruction, so we will define two macros. BeamIsOpCode() is used to rewrite code like this: if (Instr == (BeamInstr) BeamOp(op_i_func_info_IaaI) { ... } to: if (BeamIsOpCode(Instr, op_i_func_info_IaaI)) { ... } BeamOpCodeAddr(op_apply_bif) is used when we need the address for an instruction. Also elimiminate the global variables em_* in beam_emu.c. They are not really needed. Use the BeamOpCodeAddr() macro instead.
