2011-11-16Remove remaining gcc 4.6 assigned-but-not-used warnings from ertsPatrik Nyblom
2011-11-13Replace system block with thread progress blockRickard Green
The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by new functionality for blocking the system. The old system block functionality had contention issues and complexity issues. The new functionality piggy-backs on thread progress tracking functionality needed by newly introduced lock-free synchronization in the runtime system. When the functionality for blocking the system isn't used there is more or less no overhead at all. This since the functionality for tracking thread progress is there and needed anyway.
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.
2011-05-09Expand the use of high memory allocation in halfword emulatorSverker Eriksson
Also add 'low' field in system_info(allocator) SHORT_LIVED is still in low memory
2011-03-16erts_printf %be to print integers of size EtermSverker Eriksson
Existing %bp to print pointer size integers does not work in halfword emulator to print Eterm size integers.
2011-03-09Make halfword emulator with valgrind target allocate low memorySverker Eriksson
Limit ERTS_MSEG_FAKE_SEGMENTS (that is otherwise set for valgrind target) to not apply to low memory needed by halfword emulator. This will reduce the fault detection capability of valgrind for low memory. Also correct a bug in the initial mmap and make sure the returned memory region does not reach into high memory.
2011-02-03HALFWORD Make system_info mseg_alloc report both low/high memSverker Eriksson
2011-02-03HALFWORD Make more allocators use high mem (binary, fixed and driver)Sverker Eriksson
2011-02-03HALFWORD ETS 32-bit arch fixes and other cleanupsSverker Eriksson
2011-02-03HALFWORD first stab at high mem allocSverker Eriksson
2011-02-03HALFWORD ETS relative termsSverker Eriksson
In halfword emulator, make ETS use a variant of the internal term format that uses relative offsets instead of absolute pointers. This will allow storage in high memory (>4G). Preprocessor macros (like list_val_rel(TERM,BASE)) are used to make normal (fullword) emulator almost completely unchanged while still reusing most of the code.

2010-08-13Add support for NetBSDMartti Kuparinen
These are the current NetBSD pkgsrc patches.
2010-04-28OTP-8591 Race in mseg cashe on non-SMP with async threadsSverker Eriksson
Fix memory management bug causing crash of non-SMP emulator with async threads enabled. The bug did first appear in R13B03.
2010-03-22Merge branch 'pan/otp_8332_halfword' into devErlang/OTP
* pan/otp_8332_halfword: Teach testcase in driver_suite the new prototype for driver_async wx: Correct usage of driver callbacks from wx thread Adopt the new (R13B04) Nif functionality to the halfword codebase Support monitoring and demonitoring from driver threads Fix further test-suite problems Correct the VM to work for more test suites Teach {wordsize,internal|external} to system_info/1 Make tracing and distribution work Turn on instruction packing in the loader and virtual machine Add the BeamInstr data type for loaded BEAM code Fix the BEAM dissambler for the half-word emulator Store pointers to heap data in 32-bit words Add a custom mmap wrapper to force heaps into the lower address range Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address range
2010-03-10Fix further test-suite problemsPatrik Nyblom
Fix safe_mul in the loader, which caused failures in the bit syntax test cases. Fix yet another Uint in erl_alloc.h (ERTS_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) causing segmentation fault when we have many schedulers (why only in that situation?). Clean up erl_mseg (remove old code for the Linux 32-bit mmap flag). While at it, also remove compilation warnings.
2010-03-10Add a custom mmap wrapper to force heaps into the lower address rangePatrik Nyblom
The free list is still rudimentary for the mmap wrapper and a better implementation will be needed for production quality.
2010-03-10Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address rangePatrik Nyblom
This is the first step in the implementation of the half-word emulator, a 64-bit emulator where all pointers to heap data will be stored in 32-bit words. Code specific for this emulator variant is conditionally compiled when the HALFWORD_HEAP define has a non-zero value. First force all pointers to heap data to fall into a single 32-bit range, but still store them in 64-bit words. Temporary term data stored on C stack is moved into scheduler specific storage (allocated as heaps) and macros are added to make this happen only in emulators where this is needed. For a vanilla VM the temporary terms are still stored on the C stack.
