Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processes
|
|
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The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts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.

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.

Remove low memory need for HiPE on x86_64

No longer need for super carrier allocating executable memory.

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

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
where defile contained:

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.

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.
|
|
|
|
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.

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.
