2011-11-13Use critical sections as mutex implementation on WindowsRickard Green
Windows native critical sections are now used internally in the runtime system as mutex implementation. This since they perform better under extreme contention than our own implementation.
2011-11-13Use generic lock-free queue for async threadsRickard Green
Queues used for communication between async threads and scheduler threads have been replaced with lock-free queues. Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not automatically locked to the system anymore, and can be unloaded as any dynamically linked in driver. Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved in between other jobs. Previously all ready async jobs was performed at once.
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The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by new functionality for blocking the system.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.

2011-06-14Use 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.

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 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.
