At start of the VM a poll-set that the schedulers
will check is created where fds that have triggered
many (at the moment, many means 10) times without
being deselected inbetween. In this scheduler specific
poll-set fds do not use ONESHOT, which means that the
number of syscalls goes down dramatically for such fds.
This pollset is introduced in order to handle fds that
are used by the erlang distribution and that never
change their state from {active, true}.
This pollset only handles ready_input events,
ready_output is still handled by the poll threads.
During overload, polling the scheduler poll-set is done
on a 10ms timer.
|
|
The poll thread does a lot of waking up and then going
back to sleep. A large part of the waking up is managing
thread progress and a large part of that was using thread
specific data to get the thread progress data pointer.
With this refactor the tpd is passed to each of the functions
which greatly decreases the number of ethr_get_tsd calls
which in turn halves the CPU usage of the poller thread in
certain scenarios.

This bug was introduced in 988f5f5e8061ce2. The aux_thread
needs to be poked as it is the thread that handles all
break actions.
|
|
|
|
The standard search order does not include the directory that the
loaded DLL resides in, requiring dirty $PATH hacks to get things
working, which is not an option now that os:putenv/2 is divorced
from the OS environment.
|
|
putenv(3) and friends aren't thread-safe regardless of how you slice
it; a global lock around all environment operations (like before)
keeps things safe as far as our own operations go, but we have
absolutely no control over what libc or a library dragged in by a
driver/NIF does -- they're free to call getenv(3) or putenv(3)
without honoring our lock.
This commit solves this by setting up an "emulated" environment which
can't be touched without going through our interfaces. Third-party
libraries can still shoot themselves in the foot but benign uses of
os:putenv/2 will no longer risk crashing the emulator.

This refactor was done using the unifdef tool like this:
for file in $(find erts/ -name *.[ch]); do unifdef -t -f defile -o $file $file; done

The implementation is still hidden behind ERTS_ENABLE_LOCK_COUNT, and
all categories are still enabled by default, but the actual counting can be
toggled at will.

This allows us to enable/disable lock counting at will, and greatly improves
the performance of erts_debug:lock_counters/1 since we no longer have to
worry about the lock counters "dying" while we're enumerating them.

When FP exceptions are used, matherr() forces a fake FP exception,
which is interpreted as an error by the checking code after a math
routine call. This is wrong for several reasons:
- it's not necessary for error checking: when FP exceptions aren't
used, matherr() is a stub and no information is derived from it
being called
- it's not necessary for FPU maintenance: the FPU only needs to be
reprogrammed after an actual FP exception
- it causes false negatives: matherr() may be called even though
Erlang doesn't consider the case to be an error (exp() and pow()
underflows on Solaris for instance); with FP exceptions enabled
they are incorrectly considered errors
The fix is to remove all FP exception related code from matherr().

The tag_val_def function was called and multiple switch statements
had to be traversed in term.c, and then a big switch in the calling
code to branch on the term types. By inlining the switches are
merged by the compiler and a lot fewer branches have to be taken.
Benchmarks show that this increases performance of enc_term by as
much as 10%.

This is mostly a pure refactoring.
Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive
integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with
ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT.
Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, )
------- ------------------- -------------------------------------------
exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0
crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0
The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and
ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have
changed).

perf counter is now part of the function pointer interface
and also the function returns the value instead of writing
to a memory buffer.

Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the
different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area
is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which
states the threads are in and then from there figuring out
why and where to optimize.
Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is
relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the
states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled
through configure.
I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off
is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent.
If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark,
the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on
somewhere inbetween 5-15%.

The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution timer
that can be used to timestamp system events. It does not have
monoticity guarantees, but should on most OS's expose a monotonous
time.
A special instruction has been created for this counter to further
speed up fetching it.

os_SUITE:large_output_command send a 10k large
argument to open_port({spawn,""}) which was too
small for the 2K buffer allocated for win32.
The buffer is now dynamic and any size can be used.

Instead of forking from the beam process, we create a separate
process in which all forks are done. This has several advantages:
1) performance:
* don't have to close all fd's in the world
* fork only has to copy stuff from a small process
* work is done in a completely seperate process
* a 3x performance increase has been measured,
can be made even greater (10x) if we cache the
environment in child setup
2) stability
* the exec is done in another process than beam, which means that
if the file that we exec to is on an nfs that is not available
right now we will not block a scheduler until the nfs returns.
3) simplicity
* don't have to deal with SIGCHLD in the erts
Unfortunately, this solution also implies some badness.
1) There will always be a seperate process running together with
beam on unix. This could be confusing and undesirable.
2) We have to transfer the entire environment to child_setup
for each command.
