The +SDcpu, +SDPcpu, and +SDio options did not properly handle having their
arguments immediately following them without intervening whitespace,
e.g. +SDio20 was treated as an error. Fix all the dirty scheduler command
line options so they handle optional whitespace between them and their
associated arguments.

Add initial support for dirty schedulers.
There are two types of dirty schedulers: CPU schedulers and I/O
schedulers. By default, there are as many dirty CPU schedulers as there are
normal schedulers and as many dirty CPU schedulers online as normal
schedulers online. There are 10 dirty I/O schedulers (similar to the choice
of 10 as the default for async threads).
By default, dirty schedulers are disabled and conditionally compiled
out. To enable them, you must pass --enable-dirty-schedulers to the
top-level configure script when building Erlang/OTP.
Current dirty scheduler support requires the emulator to be built with SMP
support. This restriction will be lifted in the future.
You can specify the number of dirty schedulers with the command-line
options +SDcpu (for dirty CPU schedulers) and +SDio (for dirty I/O
schedulers). The +SDcpu option is similar to the +S option in that it takes
two numbers separated by a colon: C1:C2, where C1 specifies the number of
dirty schedulers available and C2 specifies the number of dirty schedulers
online. The +SDPcpu option allows numbers of dirty CPU schedulers available
and dirty CPU schedulers online to be specified as percentages, similar to
the existing +SP option for normal schedulers. The number of dirty CPU
schedulers created and dirty CPU schedulers online may not exceed the
number of normal schedulers created and normal schedulers online,
respectively. The +SDio option takes only a single number specifying the
number of dirty I/O schedulers available and online. There is no support
yet for programmatically changing at run time the number of dirty CPU
schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Also, changing the number of
normal schedulers online via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online,
NewSchedulersOnline) should ensure that there are no more dirty CPU
schedulers than normal schedulers, but this is not yet implemented. You can
retrieve the number of dirty schedulers by passing dirty_cpu_schedulers,
dirty_cpu_schedulers_online, or dirty_io_schedulers to
erlang:system_info/1.
Currently only NIFs are able to access dirty scheduler
functionality. Neither drivers nor BIFs currently support dirty
schedulers. This restriction will be addressed in the future.
If dirty scheduler support is present in the runtime, the initial status
line Erlang prints before presenting its interactive prompt will include
the indicator "[ds:C1:C2:I]" where "ds" indicates "dirty schedulers", "C1"
indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, "C2" indicates the
number of dirty CPU schedulers online, and "I" indicates the number of
dirty I/O schedulers.
Document The dirty NIF API in the erl_nif man page. The API closely follows
Rickard Green's presentation slides from his talk "Future Extensions to the
Native Interface", presented at the 2011 Erlang Factory held in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Rickard's slides are available online at
http://bit.ly/1m34UHB .
Document the new erl command-line options, the additions to
erlang:system_info/1, and also add the erlang:system_flag/2 dirty scheduler
documentation even though it's not yet implemented.
To determine whether the dirty NIF API is available, native code can check
to see whether the C preprocessor macro ERL_NIF_DIRTY_SCHEDULER_SUPPORT is
defined. To check if dirty schedulers are available at run time, native
code can call the boolean enif_have_dirty_schedulers() function, and Erlang
code can call erlang:system_info(dirty_cpu_schedulers), which raises
badarg if no dirty scheduler support is available.
Add a simple dirty NIF test to the emulator NIF suite.

Replaced the +MMscmgc switch with the +MMscrfsd switch. The old switch
didn't reflect what it controlled.

* maint:
add erl option to set schedulers by percentages
|
|
For applications where measurements show enhanced performance from the use
of a non-default number of emulator scheduler threads, having to accurately
set the right number of scheduler threads across multiple hosts each with
different numbers of logical processors is difficult because the erl +S
option requires absolute numbers of scheduler threads and scheduler threads
online to be specified.
To address this issue, add a +SP option to erl, similar to the existing +S
option but allowing the number of scheduler threads and scheduler threads
online to be set as percentages of logical processors configured and
logical processors available, respectively. For example, "+SP 50:25" sets
the number of scheduler threads to 50% of the logical processors
configured, and the number of scheduler threads online to 25% of the
logical processors available. The +SP option also interacts with any
settings specified with the +S option, such that the combination of options
"+S 4:4 +SP 50:50" (in either order) results in 2 scheduler threads and 2
scheduler threads online.
Add documentation for the +SP option.
Add tests for the +SP option to scheduler_SUITE.
Add tests and documentation for two existing features of the +S option: +S
0:0 resets the scheduler thread count and scheduler threads online count to
their defaults, and specifying negative numbers for +S results in those
values being subtracted from the default values for the host.

erts: Add the +sfwi system flag
|
|
+sfwi Interval
Set scheduler forced wakeup interval. All run queues will be scanned
each Interval milliseconds. While there are sleeping schedulers in
the system, one scheduler will be woken for each non-empty run queue
found. An Interval of zero disables this feature, which also is the
default.
This feature has been introduced as a temporary workaround for lengthy
executing native code, and native code that do not bump reductions
properly in OTP. When these bugs have be fixed the +sfwi flag will
be removed.

Putenv and getenv needs to convert to the proper environment
strings in Unicode depending on platform and user settings for filename
encoding. Also erlexec needs to pass environment strings in an appropriate
way for kernel to pick up. All environment strings on the command
line, as well as home directory, is now passed in UTF8 on windows
and in whatever encoding you have on Unix, kernel tries to convert all
parameters and environments from UTF8 before making strings.

The hybrid heap emulator was last working in the non-SMP R11B
run-time system. When the constant pools were introduced in R12B,
the hybrid heap emulator was not updated to handle them.
At this point, the harm from reduced readability of the code is
greater than any potential usefulness of keeping the code.

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.

The contents of the ERL_<version>_FLAGS undocumented environment
variable would be added at the end of the command line passed
to the BEAM emualator (similar to ERL_ZFLAGS), making it impossible
to override (for example) "-smp" with "-smp disable" on the command
line.
To allow overriding, put the contents of ERL_<version>_FLAGS at
the beginning of the command line (similar to ERL_AFLAGS).
Since the ERL_<version>_FLAGS variable is undocumented and
unsupported, it is OK to change its behaviour in a minor release.
