The implementation of an ERTS internal, generic, many to one, lock-free
queue for communication between threads. The many to one scenario is
very common in ERTS, so it can be used in a lot of places in the future.
Changing to this queue from a lock based queue, however, often requires
some redesigning. This since we have often used the lock of the queue
to protect other information too.
|
|
The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by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.

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.

This is done in order to improve timing when testing
debug builds, especially ppc debug builds.

Code area allocation was done twice; first in read_code_header()
and then in erts_make_stub_module() itself.

bad_dist_ext_connection_id/1 used the same names for the slave

Add an end_per_testcase/2 function to ensure that the process with

case attempts to register a process with the same name.

* rickard/aux-work-bug/OTP-9567:
Fix lost wakeup of scheduler when enqueuing auxiliary work
|
|
When auxiliary work was enqueued on a scheduler, the wakeup of
the scheduler in order to handle this work could be lost. Wakeups
in order to handle ordinary work were not effected by this bug.
The bug only effected runtime systems with SMP support as follows:
* Deallocation of some ETS data structures could be delayed.
* On Linux systems not using the NPTL thread library (typically
ancient systems with kernel versions prior to 2.6) and Windows
systems, the {Port, {exit_status, Status}} message from a
terminating port program could be delayed. That is, it only
effected port programs which had been started by passing
exit_status as an option to open_port/2.

* bjorn/erts/support-macosx-lion/OTP-9547:
Fix build problems on MacOS 10.7 (Lion)
|
|
|
|
|
|
On MacOS 10.7 (Lion) with Xcode 4.1 installed, the default
C compiler is llvm-gcc-4.2. That compiler compiles beam_emu.c
incorrectly, resulting in an emulator that will not start.
The problem can be worked around by turning off all optimizations,
but that will significantly degrade the performance of the run-time
system. The problem can also be worked around manually like this:
CC=gcc-4.2 ./configure
To allow a working system to be built "out of the box", have
the configure script set up the emulator Makefile so that gcc-4.2
will be used to compile beam_emu.c if the default compiler is
llvm-based. All other C files will still be compiled with the
default compiler.

Fix enif_compare on 64bits machines
OTP-9533
|
|
|
|
In 64bits machines the Sint type has a size of 8 bytes,
while on 32bits machines it has a 4 bytes size.
enif_compare was ignoring this and therefore returning
incorrect values when the result of the CMP function
(which returns a Sint value) doesn't fit in 4 bytes.
For example, passing the operands -1294536544000 and
-1178704800000 to enif_compare would trigger the bug.

This BIF's second parameter is a list of options.
Currently the only allowed option is {minor_version, Version}
where version is either 0 (default) or 1.

Add erlang:check_old_code/1 to quickly check whether a module
has old code. If there is no old code, there is no need to call
erlang:check_process_code/2 for all processes, which will save
some time if there are many processes.
|
|
There is no need to suspend the process if the module has no old
code. Measurements show that this change will make
erlang:check_process_code/2 in an SMP emulator about four times
faster if the module has no old code.

TODO: Reconsider use of union once gcc-4.1 is obsolete?

We discovered that if a single Erlang process tried to grow above 32
GB (i.e., more 64-bit words than can be counted by a 32-bit number),
the VM failed to find the next larger heap size, even though there
were plenty more heap sizes left to pick from and even though we had a
lot more memory available on the machine. (Obviously, this is only
applicable on 64-bit Erlang.)
It turned out to be due to some 'int' variables in the heap resizing
parts of erl_gc.c not being properly updated to 'Uint' or 'Sint'. Once
that was fixed, I got segfaults instead as soon as the heap got larger
than 2^32 words, due to even more 'int' declarations in the same file,
but now in the GC code.
After fixing this as well, I successfully ran an Erlang node in which
a single Erlang process had a heap so large that I'm not at liberty to
divulge the exact size, but I think the scientific term is
"humongous", and I'm confident that there are no further immediate
problems with very very large individual process heaps.
