Being able to disable garbage collection over context
switches vastly simplifies implementation of yielding
native code that builds large or complex data structures
on the heap. This since the heap can be left in an
inconsistent state over the context switch.
|
|
A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of
another process will be notified by a message when the task has
executed. This message will be on the form:
{RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}.
A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority
on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority
on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding
priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is
made by calling the statically linked in NIF
erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an
undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It
should *only* be called from BIF implementations.
Currently defined system tasks are:
* garbage_collect
* check_process_code
Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future.
The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3]
BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the
'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform
or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the
system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the
system will be performed solely in the context of the process
being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement
functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over
context switches.
Newly introduced BIFs:
* erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option
list. Introduced option:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous garbage collect requests.
* erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an
option list. Introduced options:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous check process code requests.
* {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests
that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort
if gc should be needed).
These options have been introduced as a preparation for
parallelization of check_process_code operations when the
code_server is about to purge a module.

erts: Speed up valgrind with asynch threads
|

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.

by only letting it run on one core. Valgrind only let one thread
at a time execute anyway.

* sze/to_erl/OTP-11206:
Fix changing terminal parameters in to_erl
|
|
One of our devices does not like 'to_erl' to be run over a serial port.
When to_erl is started, we see "Attaching to /tm<0xFF>" being printed
and the device then refuses to accept any input. Occasionally, we have
seen a linux kernel error message "serial8250: too much work for irq16"
simultaneously. After some debugging we found out that cause is a call
to tcsetattr() by to_erl, immediately preceeded by some printf().
The UART in our device doesn't like hardware parameters to be changed
while output is concurrently active. In fact, the GNU libc manual also
mentions that it might be dangerous to change UART hardware parameters
when a transmission is ongoing.
The patch attached to this e-mail changes the behaviour of to_erl to use
TCSADRAIN instead of TCSANOW when changing terminal parameters. This
makes the serial driver wait for the output queues to be empty before
applying the terminal parameter change.

Like in epmd and erlexec. Otherwise "run_erl" fails on some platforms
when called with the "-daemon" option, printing this error:
"Cannot dup"

+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.

can be disabled or enabled at will by make V=0 and make V=1.

According to the documentation, if the second or third line in a
script starts with %%!, then escript will use the rest of the line
as emulator options. However, previously this was only the case
if the first line started with #!. This change removes that check,
and unconditionally uses the %%! line if present.
