Persistent terms are useful for storing Erlang terms that are never
or infrequently updated. They have the following advantages:
* Constant time access. A persistent term is not copied when it is
looked up. The constant factor is lower than for ETS, and no locks
are taken when looking up a term.
* Persistent terms are not copied in garbage collections.
* There is only ever one copy of a persistent term (until it is
deleted). That makes them useful for storing configuration data
that needs to be easily accessible by all processes.
Persistent terms have the following drawbacks:
* Updates are expensive. The hash table holding the keys for the
persistent terms are updated whenever a persistent term is added,
updated or deleted.
* Updating or deleting a persistent term triggers a "global GC", which
will schedule a heap scan of all processes to search the heap of all
processes for the deleted term. If a process still holds a reference
to the deleted term, the process will be garbage collected and the
term copied to the heap of the process. This global GC can make the
system less responsive for some time.
Three BIFs (implemented in C in the emulator) is the entire
interface to the persistent term functionality:
* put(Key, Value) to store a persistent term.
* get(Key) to look up a persistent term.
* erase(Key) to delete a persistent term.
There are also two additional BIFs to obtain information about
persistent terms:
* info() to return a map with information about persistent terms.
* get() to return a list of a {Key,Value} tuples for all persistent
terms. (The values are not copied.)

This commit replaces the old memory instrumentation with a new
implementation that scans carriers instead of wrapping
erts_alloc/erts_free. The old implementation could not extract
information without halting the emulator, had considerable runtime
overhead, and the memory maps it produced were noisy and lacked
critical information.
Since the new implementation walks through existing data structures
there's no longer a need to start the emulator with special flags to
get information about carrier utilization/fragmentation. Memory
fragmentation is also easier to diagnose as it's presented on a
per-carrier basis which eliminates the need to account for "holes"
between mmap segments.
To help track allocations, each allocation can now be tagged with
what it is and who allocated it at the cost of one extra word per
allocation. This is controlled on a per-allocator basis with the
+M<S>atags option, and is enabled by default for binary_alloc and
driver_alloc (which is also used by NIFs).

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.

This function is no longer needed as maps:iterator has
now been implemented.
|
|
This iterator implementation fetches multiple elements to
iterate over in one call to erts_internal:maps_next instead
of one at a time. This means that the memory usage will go
up for the iterator as we are buffering elements, but the
usage is still bounded.
In this implementation the max memory usage is 1000 words.
Using this approach makes the iterator as fast as using
maps:to_list, so maps:iterator/2 has been removed.

26b59dfe67 introduced the new 'AtU8' chunk to support
Unicode atoms.
make_preload strips the pre-loaded BEAM files so that they
only contain essential chunks. It expects to find the old
'Atom' chunk.
Teach make_preload to read the new 'AtU8' chunk instead of the old
chunk. Also produce a nice error message if someone by mistake
compiles the pre-loaded modules with an OTP 19 compiler.

Normally, calling code:delete/1 before re-loading the code for a
module is unnecessary but causes no problem.
But there will be be problems if the new code has an on_load function.
Code with an on_load function will always be loaded as old code
to allowed it to be easily purged if the on_load function would fail.
If the on_load function succeeds, the old and current code will be
swapped.
So in the scenario where code:delete/1 has been called explicitly,
there is old code but no current code. Loading code with an
on_load function will cause the reference to the old code to be
overwritten. That will at best cause a memory leak, and at worst
an emulator crash (especially if NIFs are involved).
To avoid that situation, we will put the code with the on_load
function in a special, third slot in Module.
