2014-01-28initial support for dirty schedulers and dirty NIFsSteve Vinoski
Add initial support for dirty schedulers. There are two types of dirty schedulers: CPU schedulers and I/O schedulers. By default, there are as many dirty CPU schedulers as there are normal schedulers and as many dirty CPU schedulers online as normal schedulers online. There are 10 dirty I/O schedulers (similar to the choice of 10 as the default for async threads). By default, dirty schedulers are disabled and conditionally compiled out. To enable them, you must pass --enable-dirty-schedulers to the top-level configure script when building Erlang/OTP. Current dirty scheduler support requires the emulator to be built with SMP support. This restriction will be lifted in the future. You can specify the number of dirty schedulers with the command-line options +SDcpu (for dirty CPU schedulers) and +SDio (for dirty I/O schedulers). The +SDcpu option is similar to the +S option in that it takes two numbers separated by a colon: C1:C2, where C1 specifies the number of dirty schedulers available and C2 specifies the number of dirty schedulers online. The +SDPcpu option allows numbers of dirty CPU schedulers available and dirty CPU schedulers online to be specified as percentages, similar to the existing +SP option for normal schedulers. The number of dirty CPU schedulers created and dirty CPU schedulers online may not exceed the number of normal schedulers created and normal schedulers online, respectively. The +SDio option takes only a single number specifying the number of dirty I/O schedulers available and online. There is no support yet for programmatically changing at run time the number of dirty CPU schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Also, changing the number of normal schedulers online via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, NewSchedulersOnline) should ensure that there are no more dirty CPU schedulers than normal schedulers, but this is not yet implemented. You can retrieve the number of dirty schedulers by passing dirty_cpu_schedulers, dirty_cpu_schedulers_online, or dirty_io_schedulers to erlang:system_info/1. Currently only NIFs are able to access dirty scheduler functionality. Neither drivers nor BIFs currently support dirty schedulers. This restriction will be addressed in the future. If dirty scheduler support is present in the runtime, the initial status line Erlang prints before presenting its interactive prompt will include the indicator "[ds:C1:C2:I]" where "ds" indicates "dirty schedulers", "C1" indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, "C2" indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers online, and "I" indicates the number of dirty I/O schedulers. Document The dirty NIF API in the erl_nif man page. The API closely follows Rickard Green's presentation slides from his talk "Future Extensions to the Native Interface", presented at the 2011 Erlang Factory held in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rickard's slides are available online at http://bit.ly/1m34UHB . Document the new erl command-line options, the additions to erlang:system_info/1, and also add the erlang:system_flag/2 dirty scheduler documentation even though it's not yet implemented. To determine whether the dirty NIF API is available, native code can check to see whether the C preprocessor macro ERL_NIF_DIRTY_SCHEDULER_SUPPORT is defined. To check if dirty schedulers are available at run time, native code can call the boolean enif_have_dirty_schedulers() function, and Erlang code can call erlang:system_info(dirty_cpu_schedulers), which raises badarg if no dirty scheduler support is available. Add a simple dirty NIF test to the emulator NIF suite.

2013-11-18Execution of system tasks in context of another processRickard Green
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.
