Improve memory instrumentation
OTP-15024
OTP-14961
|
|
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).

If messages are not flushed they would cause problems when
the system is booting. For instance module load requests
would be issued before the prim loader has been launched.

Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processes
|
|
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 improves the latency of file operations as dirty schedulers
are a bit more eager to run jobs than async threads, and use a
single global queue rather than per-thread queues, eliminating the
risk of a job stalling behind a long-running job on the same thread
while other async threads sit idle.
There's no such thing as a free lunch though; the lowered latency
comes at the cost of increased busy-waiting which may have an
adverse effect on some applications. This behavior can be tweaked
with the +sbwt flag, but unfortunately it affects all types of
schedulers and not just dirty ones. We plan to add type-specific
flags at a later stage.
sendfile has been moved to inet_drv to lessen the effect of a nasty
race; the cooperation between inet_drv and efile has never been
airtight and the socket dying at the wrong time (Regardless of
reason) could result in fd aliasing. Moving it to the inet driver
makes it impossible to trigger this by closing the socket in the
middle of a sendfile operation, while still allowing it to be
aborted -- something that can't be done if it stays in the file
driver.
The race still occurs if the controlling process dies in the short
window between dispatching the sendfile operation and the dup(2)
call in the driver, but it's much less likely to happen now.
A proper fix is in the works.
--
Notable functional differences:
* The use_threads option for file:sendfile/5 no longer has any
effect.
* The file-specific DTrace probes have been removed. The same
effect can be achieved with normal tracing together with the
nif__entry/nif__return probes to track scheduling.

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.

1.2.11 started bailing when avail_out==0 regardless of whether
there's anything to flush or not, and there's no point in adapting
the old method since it was vulnerable to bugs in other zlib
versions which updated the deflate parameters even on failure.
The api_deflateParams test has been expanded accordingly, and two
white-box cases in zip_usage has been updated to make fewer
assumptions about the output; the validity of the compressed data
is what matters, not whether it's exactly the same as the test
vector.

Don't allow null chars in various strings
Conflicts:
erts/emulator/beam/erl_alloc.types

|

Various places that now reject null chars inside strings
- Primitive file operations reject it in filenames.
- Primitive environment variable operations reject it in
names and values.
- os:cmd() reject it in its input.
Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment
variable operations in environment variable names.
Documentation has been updated to document null characters
in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations
accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change
in the future.

When presented with multiple valid but concatenated streams, the
old driver returned an empty result once the end of the first
stream was reached, and kept doing so even if fed new data. The
new driver/NIF returned a data_error instead.
zlib:inflateInit/3 has been added to control this behavior, but is
not yet ready for public use.

All operations will now yield appropriately, allowing them to be used

functions listed below, although they won't raise deprecation
warnings until OTP 21:
zlib:adler32

zlib:inflateChunk
