2018-07-27Change "can not" into "cannot"Raimo Niskanen
I did not find any legitimate use of "can not", however skipped changing e.g RFCs archived in the source tree.

2017-10-18Buffer writing of crash dumpsBjörn Gustavsson
Writing of crash dumps were done using unbuffered IO. This is slow since many small writes are done. Use a FILE* with an allocated buffer to obtain buffered IO. I wrote a small test program that created 50000 binaries of 200 bytes each and then created a crash dump. The crash dumping was an order of magnitude faster with buffered IO than without.

2016-06-22Improve accuracy of timeouts using premature timeoutsRickard Green
Improve accuracy of timeouts using a premature timeout then return to sleep with a shorter timeout just before requested timeout. This approach is only used on certain platforms where we know it improves the accuracy of the timeouts, e.g. MacOS X.

2015-08-27Fix ethread events with timeoutRickard Green
Lots of pthread platforms unnecessarily falled back on the pipe/select solution. This since we tried to use the same monotonic clock source for pthread_cond_timedwait() as used by OS monotonic time. This has been fixed on most platforms by using another clock source. Darwin can however not use pthread_cond_timedwait() with monotonic clock source and has to use the pipe/select solution. On darwin we now use select with _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT in order to be able to handle a large amount of file descriptors.

The OSE port is no longer supported and this commit removed it and any changes related to it. The things that were general improvements have been left in the code.

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.

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: 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.
