2012-03-27Fix wakeup functionality in no thread support caseRickard Green
2011-12-27Include wakeup pipe in /dev/poll poll-set also on non-SMPRickard Green
I/O events could potentially be delayed for ever when enabling kernel-poll on a non-SMP runtime system executing on Solaris. When also combined with async-threads the runtime system hung before completing the boot phase. This bug was introduced in erts-5.9/OTP-R15B.

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.

2011-06-14Use new atomic API in runtime systemRickard Green
All uses of the old deprecated atomic API in the runtime system have been replaced with the use of the new atomic API. In a lot of places this change imply a relaxation of memory barriers used.

2010-08-20Fix race in erts_poll()Rickard Green
A race condition in erts_poll() could cause delay of poll for I/O.
2010-06-01OTP-8658 Add missing memory barriers in erts_poll()Rickard Green
Missing memory barriers in erts_poll() could cause the runtime system to hang indefinitely.
2010-05-15fix livelock in erts_poll_info_kp()Mikael Pettersson
erts_poll_info_kp() [defined in erts/emulator/sys/common/erl_poll.c via some name-mangling trickery] contains a code path that can end up in an infinite loop, causing a livelock. There is a block of code inside #if ERTS_POLL_USE_UPDATE_REQUESTS_QUEUE that is supposed to iterate over a linked list of ErtsPollSetUpdateRequestsBlocks and update two variables based on the sizes of these blocks. The bug is that the loop forgets to advance the list pointer to the next element, so if the loop is entered at all (the initial list pointer is non-NULL), the thread falls into an infinite loop. This patch, against R13B03 but applies fine to today's git, fixes the bug by adding a statement to advance the list pointer in the loop. All other loops over this list appear to be correct. Thanks to Chetan Ahuja for the original report of a livelock problem in erts_poll_info_kp().
