Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processes
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 The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals.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.
2018-03-20erts: Make sys_memcpy and friends inline functionsSverker Eriksson
to avoid argument-evaluated-twice bugs like in macro DMC_PUSH. Had to shuffle around some #include and #define to make erl_child_setup build debug target.

2018-01-15erts: Fix float_to_list(F, [{decimals,D}]).Sverker Eriksson
Example symptom: 1> float_to_list(0.145, [{decimals,1}]). "0.2" There were two problems in sys_double_to_chars_fast 1. Most serious was adding 0.55555555 / (10^D) instead of 0.5 / (10^D) which imposed a 5.5% risk of a faulty rounding up. 2. Using fixpoint for frac_part which lost significant bits if F < 0.5
2018-01-03Alter erl_ddll:load dependency search path on WindowsJohn Högberg
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.
2018-01-03Replace the libc environment with a thread-safe emulationJohn Högberg
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.

2017-07-06Allow toggling lock counting at runtimeJohn Högberg
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. OTP-13170
2017-05-29Fix WX lock check assertion on MacOSXRickard Green
The fix avoids registering the main thread as an emulator thread on MacOSX. This since WX steals the main thread for its own usage on MacOSX, and use the thread as an ordinary driver thread.

2017-05-18Make lock counter info independent of the locks being countedJohn Högberg
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. OTP-14412

2017-04-27Rename macro and add clarifying commentRichard Carlsson
The macro previously named 'LOG2' is in fact computing the LSB (not the MSB) of its input, and can only be used to compute log2(n) when n is is a power of 2, that is, when its LSB is also its MSB.
