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The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts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.

erlexec adds $ROOT/erts-<vsn>/bin and $ROOT/bin first in $PATH on
startup, but didn't do so if they were in the $PATH already, which
meant that the bindir didn't point to the current release after a
downgrade.

The retry loop wasn't working anyway as it tested fd<0
instead of res.
So, there is no real semantic change here.

Instead of using C:\Windows we use the profile path as the
home path on windows. The profile path normally resolves
to C:\Users\%USERNAME%. This fixes an issue where the default
path to the .erlang.cookie was not the same for jinterface as
for erl.

Use 'no_dot_erlang' start script for tools. Options and

Previously you could not opt out on loading .erlang, change the
default to not load the resource file. The escript author
can invoke c:erlangrc(PathList) to find and load .erlang if needed.

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:

#define DDLL_SMP 1
#define ERTS_HAVE_SMP_EMU 1
#define SMP 1
#define ERL_BITS_REENTRANT 1

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.

Erlang system found in PATH was used even when explicitly pointing out
the escript binary in another Erlang system.

Changing argv[0] from emu name to progname if ESCRIPT_NAME was not set

Add the option -emu_type to start an emulator of a certain
type. For exampe, "-emu_type lcnt" will start beam.lcnt.smp.
Any string will be accepted after -emu_type. If there is no
corresponding emulator, there will be an error similar to:
erlexec: The emulator '.../bin/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/beam.foo.smp' does not exist.
On Windows, there is an undocumented option "-debug". Remove
that option, because -emu_type can be used instead.
|
|
"./configure --enable-lock-counter" would modify the behavior
of the default emulator (usually SMP).
To make lock counting more accessible, change --enable-lock-counter
to build an additional emulator in the same way as:
(cd erts/emulator && make lcnt)
(The next commit will make it easier to start the built lock-counter
emulator.)
