2015-03-20Implement ethread events with timeoutRickard Green
2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality over multiple functions in order to improve on this. The new API consists of a number of new BIFs: - erlang:convert_time_unit/3 - erlang:monotonic_time/0 - erlang:monotonic_time/1 - erlang:system_time/0 - erlang:system_time/1 - erlang:time_offset/0 - erlang:time_offset/1 - erlang:timestamp/0 - erlang:unique_integer/0 - erlang:unique_integer/1 - os:system_time/0 - os:system_time/1 and a number of extensions of existing BIFs: - erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service) - erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize) - erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source) - erlang:system_info(time_offset) - erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode) - erlang:system_info(time_correction) - erlang:system_info(start_time) See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the ERTS User's Guide for more information.
2015-01-14Improve ethread atomics based on GCC builtinsRickard Green
* Use of __atomic builtins when available. * Improved configure test that checks for missing memory barrier in __sync_synchronize(). The old approach was to verify known working gcc versions and check gcc version at compile time. Besides not being very safe, the old approach often unnecessarily caused usage of the very expensive workaround. * Introduced (no overhead) workaround for missing clobber in __sync_synchronize() when using buggy LLVM implementation of __sync_synchronize(). * Implement native memory barriers for ARM processors supporting the DMB instruction. * Use of volatile store on Alpha as atomic set operation if no __atomic_store_n() is available (already used on x86/x86_64 Sparc V9, PowerPC, and MIPS). Fallback used when not using volatile store is typically very expensive. * Use volatile load on Alpha and ARM as atomic read operation if no __atomic_load_n() is available (already used on x86/x86_64 Sparc V9, PowerPC, and MIPS). Fallback when not using volatile load is typically very expensive.
2014-12-19erts: Introduce thread suspend functionsLukas Larsson
These functions allow any thread to suspend any other thread immediately and then resume all threads. This is useful when doing a crash dump in order to get a more accurate picture of what state the system is in.

Some win32 specific code does not compile with gcc (mingw-w64) since '__forceinline' is not supported by gcc. This can be avoided by defining a new macro ETHR_FORCE_INLINE similar to ETHR_INLINE.

2014-02-24ose: Remove uneccesary defineLukas Larsson
2014-02-24ose: Thread priorities configurable from lmconfLukas Larsson
The pattern used for getting the priority from the lmconf is based on the name of the process created. The pattern is: ERTS_%%PROCESS_NAME%%_PRIO with the %%PROCESS_NAME%% replaced by the prefix of the process the priority applies to. eg: ERTS_SCHEDULER_PRIO=24 applies to processes with name SCHEDULER_1, SCHEDULER_2 etc.

2014-02-24ose: Start using ppdata for tse keyLukas Larsson

This is because it is very easy to deadlock/livelock inbetween processes on OSE.
2014-02-24ose,erts: Specify name for tsd keysLukas Larsson
This simplified debugging on OSE and also limits the number of ppdata keys that are created when beam is restarted.
2014-02-24ose: Change get_envp to ose_get_ppdata for tsdLukas Larsson
There is a system limit on the number of ppdata that is available but that should not be reached, and ppdata is faster than using get_envp.

This is done in order to catch rogue signals
2014-02-24Added support for ENEA OSELukas Larsson
This port has support for both non-smp and smp. It contains a new way to do io checking in which erts_poll_wait receives the payload of the polled entity. This has implications for all linked-in drivers.

Some basic tests are already done in configure. This makes sure we cover all cases by bailing out when compiling as well.
2013-07-18Fix compile error on ARM and GCC < 4.1.0Johannes Weißl
Since b29ecbd (OTP-10418, R15B03) Erlang does not compile anymore with old versions of GCC that do not have atomic ops builtins on platforms where there is no native ethread implementation (e.g. ARM): In file included from ../include/internal/gcc/ethread.h:29, from ../include/internal/ethread.h:354, from beam/erl_threads.h:264, from beam/erl_smp.h:27, from beam/sys.h:413, from hipe/hipe_mkliterals.c:29: ../include/internal/gcc/ethr_membar.h:49:4: error: #error "No __sync_val_compare_and_swap" This patch adds a header guard in "gcc/ethread.h", as is present in "libatomic_ops/ethread.h".

- Document barrier semantics - Introduce ddrb suffix on atomic ops - Barrier macros for both non-SMP and SMP case - Make the thread progress API a bit more intuitive
2011-11-13Use critical sections as mutex implementation on WindowsRickard Green
Windows native critical sections are now used internally in the runtime system as mutex implementation. This since they perform better under extreme contention than our own implementation.
2011-06-14Improve ethread atomicsRickard Green
The ethread atomics API now also provide double word size atomics. Double word size atomics are implemented using native atomic instructions on x86 (when the cmpxchg8b instruction is available) and on x86_64 (when the cmpxchg16b instruction is available). On other hardware where 32-bit atomics or word size atomics are available, an optimized fallback is used; otherwise, a spinlock, or a mutex based fallback is used. The ethread library now performs runtime tests for presence of hardware features, such as for example SSE2 instructions, instead of requiring this to be determined at compile time. There are now functions implementing each atomic operation with the following implied memory barrier semantics: none, read, write, acquire, release, and full. Some of the operation-barrier combinations aren't especially useful. But instead of filtering useful ones out, and potentially miss a useful one, we implement them all. A much smaller set of functionality for native atomics are required to be implemented than before. More or less only cmpxchg and a membar macro are required to be implemented for each atomic size. Other functions will automatically be constructed from these. It is, of course, often wise to implement more that this if possible from a performance perspective.

* rickard/barriers/OTP-9281: Silence warnings Fix build with hipe on amd64 Reduce number of atomic ops Use 32-bit atomic for port snapshot Remove pointless erts_ports_alive variable Ensure quick break Ensure that all rehashing information are seen when done Ensure that stack updates are seen when stack is released Add needed barriers for write_concurrency tables Homogenize memory barriers on atomics
2011-05-11Homogenize memory barriers on atomicsRickard Green
Atomic operations with specified barriers have specified barrier semantics. Set and read operations have undefined barrier semantics. All other atomic operations implied full memory barriers, except when using the libatomic_ops library and the tilera atomics api. Some code in the runtime system assumed that all operations used (except for set, read and specified) implied full memory barriers. The use of the libatomic_ops library and the tilera atomics api have therefore been modified to behave as the other implementations. Some atomic operations with specified barrier semantics on sparc32 have also been been relaxed in this commit.
