2018-03-26Add +sbwt/+swt analogues for dirty schedulersJohn Högberg
Sharing these settings for all schedulers can degrade performance, so it makes sense to be able to configure them separately. This also changes the default busy-wait time to "short" for both kinds of dirty schedulers.
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 The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals.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.

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.

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.

2017-05-16Teach erlexec the -emu_type optionBjörn Gustavsson
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.
2017-05-16Let --enable-lock-counter build an additional emulatorBjörn Gustavsson
"./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.)
