Make sure to flush all queued emulator logger messages before starting the test. The trap_exit_badarg could sometimes leave messages and since the handler and messages now are handled in different processes this becomes a problem.

2018-06-14Don't enqueue system tasks if target process is in fail_stateJohn Högberg
The fail state wasn't re-checked in the state change loop; only the FREE state was checked. In addition to that, we would leave the task in the queue when bailing out which could lead to a double-free. This commit backports active_sys_enqueue from master to make it easier to merge onwards.
2018-04-23erts: Rewrite memory instrumentationJohn Högberg
This commit replaces the old memory instrumentation with a new implementation that scans carriers instead of wrapping erts_alloc/erts_free. The old implementation could not extract information without halting the emulator, had considerable runtime overhead, and the memory maps it produced were noisy and lacked critical information. Since the new implementation walks through existing data structures there's no longer a need to start the emulator with special flags to get information about carrier utilization/fragmentation. Memory fragmentation is also easier to diagnose as it's presented on a per-carrier basis which eliminates the need to account for "holes" between mmap segments. To help track allocations, each allocation can now be tagged with what it is and who allocated it at the cost of one extra word per allocation. This is controlled on a per-allocator basis with the +M<S>atags option, and is enabled by default for binary_alloc and driver_alloc (which is also used by NIFs).
2018-04-12New process_info() implementation using signalsRickard Green
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.

2017-06-03Robustify process_SUITE:spawn_opt_max_heap_size/1Björn Gustavsson
process_SUITE starts os_mon in init_per_suite/1. Therefore, there may be occasional alarm info messages received. Make sure that they are ignored and don't cause the test fail to fail. Also, get rid of the flush/0 function that discards all messages in the message queue. Instead, be more selective and only discard {error, ...} messages.
2017-06-03Contain damage cause by spawn_opt_max_heap_size failingBjörn Gustavsson
If process_SUITE:spawn_opt_max_heap_size/1 failed, the default value for the maximum heap size could have been changed. That would cause other test cases that spawned huge processes to fail. Contain the damage by always restoring the default value for max_heap_size in end_per_testcase/2.
2017-06-03Fix process_SUITE:low_prio/1Björn Gustavsson
It is expected that low-priority processes should be allowed to run about 1/8 of the time of normal-priority processes. The proportion calculated was usually considerably lower than 1/8. It seems that the main reason is the punishement in reductions when sending to a process that alreday has many messages in the message queue. I have verified that by running the emulator with the +snsp to turn off the send punishment. To avoid that punishment, let the server process run at high priority so that it can keep its message queue short. It seems that the proportion is now very close to 1/8. Therefore, we can tighten the margins for the proportion.

2016-12-12erts: Make depth of current_stacktrace configurableHåkan Mattsson
The BIF process_info(Pid, current_stacktrace) truncates the stacktrace. The old behavior was to truncate long stacktraces to max 8 items. And this was hard coded. Now it is truncated to the value of system_flag(backtrace_depth) instead. The backtrace_depth defaults to 8, but is configurable.

2016-05-10erts: Implement max_heap_size process flagLukas Larsson
The max_heap_size process flag can be used to limit the growth of a process heap by killing it before it becomes too large to handle. It is possible to set the maximum using the `erl +hmax` option, `system_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`, `spawn_opt(Fun, [{max_heap_size, ...}])` and `process_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`. It is possible to configure the behaviour of the process when the maximum heap size is reached. The process may be sent an untrappable exit signal with reason kill and/or send an error_logger message with details on the process state. A new trace event called gc_max_heap_size is also triggered for the garbage_collection trace flag when the heap grows larger than the configured size. If kill and error_logger are disabled, it is still possible to see that the maximum has been reached by doing garbage collection tracing on the process. The heap size is defined as the sum of the heap memory that the process is currently using. This includes all generational heaps, the stack, any messages that are considered to be part of the heap and any extra memory the garbage collector may need during collection. In the current implementation this means that when a process is set using on_heap message queue data mode, the messages that are in the internal message queue are counted towards this value. For off_heap, only matched messages count towards the size of the heap. For mixed, it depends on race conditions within the VM whether a message is part of the heap or not. Below is an example run of the new behaviour: Eshell V8.0 (abort with ^G) 1> f(P),P = spawn_opt(fun() -> receive ok -> ok end end, [{max_heap_size, 512}]). <0.60.0> 2> erlang:trace(P, true, [garbage_collection, procs]). 1 3> [P ! lists:duplicate(M,M) || M <- lists:seq(1,15)],ok. ok 4> =ERROR REPORT==== 26-Apr-2016::16:25:10 === Process: <0.60.0> Context: maximum heap size reached Max heap size: 512 Total heap size: 723 Kill: true Error Logger: true GC Info: [{old_heap_block_size,0}, {heap_block_size,609}, {mbuf_size,145}, {recent_size,0}, {stack_size,9}, {old_heap_size,0}, {heap_size,211}, {bin_vheap_size,0}, {bin_vheap_block_size,46422}, {bin_old_vheap_size,0}, {bin_old_vheap_block_size,46422}] flush().
