2016-03-10Improved scheduler suspend functionalityRickard Green
- The calling process is now suspended while synchronizing scheduler suspends via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) and erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, _), instead of blocking the scheduler thread in the BIF call waiting for the operation to synchronize. Besides releasing the scheduler for other work (or immediate suspend) it also makes it possible to abort the operation by killing the process. - erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) now only wait for normal schedulers to complete before it returns. This since it may take a very long time before all dirty schedulers suspends. - erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block_normal|unblock_normal) which only operate on normal schedulers has been introduced. This since there are use cases where suspend of dirty schedulers are not of interest (hipe loader). - erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block) still blocks all dirty schedulers as well as all normal schedulers except one since it is hard to redefine what multi scheduling block means. - The three operations: - changing amount of schedulers online - blocking/unblocking normal multi scheduling - blocking/unblocking full multi scheduling can now be done in parallel. This is important since otherwise a full multi scheduling block would potentially delay the other operations for a very long time.

2016-02-25Add erl_prim_loader:get_modules/3Björn Gustavsson
When we are going to implement functions that can load many modules at once, we don't the erl_prim_loader server to become a bottleneck. Therefore, we need erl_prim_loader:get_modules/3 that can read many BEAM files in parallel. Note that we will not bother making reading from archive files or using the inet loader efficient. That can be done later if it turns out to be important.

2016-02-02erts: Add microstate accountingLukas Larsson
Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which states the threads are in and then from there figuring out why and where to optimize. Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled through configure. I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent. If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark, the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on somewhere inbetween 5-15%. OTP-12345
2016-02-02erts, kernel: Add os:perf_counter functionLukas Larsson
The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution timer that can be used to timestamp system events. It does not have monoticity guarantees, but should on most OS's expose a monotonous time. A special instruction has been created for this counter to further speed up fetching it. OTP-12908

2016-01-20erl_prim_loader: Rename release_archives/0Björn Gustavsson
Rename release_archives/0 to purge_archive_cache/0 to make it clearer what it does and what it doesn't do. Also add a comment about its intended purpose. Note that release_archives/0 is not documented and is part of the experimental archive feature. Furthermore, the only uses I could find were in the test suite. I did not find any uses in the external applications relx and rebar3 applications that are known to use archives. Therefore, I think that the increased clarity is worth the small risk of breaking code.
2016-01-20erl_prim_loader: Correct timeout handling for efileBjörn Gustavsson
The timeout routine for efile was never called. While at it, eliminate the n_timeouts field and simplify the logic.
2016-01-20erl_prim_loader: Correct purging of the archive cacheBjörn Gustavsson
prim_do_release_archives/3 can't make up its mind whether the primary archive should be released or not. The key in the process dictionary is kept, while #prim_state.primary_archive is cleared. It seems that intent was the primary archive should be preserved, because the function was intended to be called by a timeout routine every sixth minute (it is not because of a bug in setting up the timeout). Therefore, rewrite the code to preserve the primary archive and simplify it while at it. Also, rename prim_release_archives/1 to prim_purge_cache/0 to make it clearer what it is doing.
2016-01-20erl_prim_loader: Remove unused 'cache' fieldBjörn Gustavsson
The #prim_state.cache' field is unused. The actual cache is kept in the process dictionary.

2016-01-13erts: Optimize erlang:check_process_codeSverker Eriksson
by ignoring literals. erts_internal:check_process_code will be called again anyway (with option {copy_literals, true}) before the module is actually purged. No need to check literals twice.

as it's not a public interface.
2016-01-13erts: Make erlang:purge_module/1 safeSverker Eriksson
Problem: erlang:purge_module/1 is not safe in the sense that very bad things may happen if the code to be purged is still referred to by live processes. Introduce erts_internal:purge_module which is the same as the old erlang:purge_module BIF (except it returns false if no such old module). Implement erlang:purge_module in Erlang and let it invoke erts_code_purger for safe purging where all clogging processes first are killed.
2016-01-13erts: Refactor code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1Sverker Eriksson
by moving code from code_server to erts_code_purger. This is more or less a copy-paste from code_server.erl to erts_code_purger.erl. All the inner mechanics of code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 are unchanged.

2015-12-16erl_prim_loader: Clean up string_match()Björn Gustavsson
Part of the return value for string_match/3 is not used by its only caller. Eliminate the unused part of the return value and the accumulator argument for string_match().
2015-12-16erl_prim_loader: Avoid making absolute pathsBjörn Gustavsson
We don't need absolute paths unless we are dealing with archives. Since it is not free to turn a relative path absolute (we will need a call to prim_file to fetch the current directory), it's better to delay the call to absname/1 until we are sure it's needed.

2015-12-16init: Eliminate the concat/1 functionBjörn Gustavsson
There is no need to use the concat/1 function since all arguments that are passed to it have known types.
2015-12-16Clean up start of erl_prim_loaderBjörn Gustavsson
The 'init' module fetches command line parameters and passes them to erl_prim_loader:start/3. The code can be simplified if 'init' calls a new erl_prim_loader:start/0 function that itself fetches the necessary command line parameters. Also remove the documentation for the start() function, since it there is no way that it can be usefully called by a user application. While we are at it, also get rid of '-id' command line parameter, which is fetched and stored but never actually used.
2015-12-16Remove erl_prim_loader:get_files/2Björn Gustavsson
erl_prim_loader:get_files/2 was an optimization introduced before the SMP emulator (that is, before R11). The idea was to use the async threads in the efile driver to read multiple BEAM files from the disk in parallel. In a modern computer with the SMP emulator, loading a BEAM module seems to be more time-consuming than reading it from disk. To optimize loading we would need to load several modules in parallel. We could modify get_files/2 so that it would support parallel loading, but it is cleaner to first remove get_files/2 and then (in a future commit), introduce new functions to support parallel loading.

2015-12-16erl_prim_loader: Break loop/3 into two functions for readabilityBjörn Gustavsson
The deep indentation makes loop/3 difficult to read and maintain. Break out the request handling code into a separate function.
2015-12-16prim_file: Suppress a dialyzer warningBjörn Gustavsson
Kostis Sagonas pointed out that there is a dialyzer warning for constructing an improper list in the following clause: translate_response(?FILE_RESP_N2DATA = X, [<<_:64, _:64, _:64>> | <<>>] = Data) -> {error, {bad_response_from_port, [X | Data]}}; I don't want to change the code to somehow eliminate the warning. An improper list has already been constructed in the efile driver itself, and that would be difficult to fix. Therefore, tell dialyzer to ignore warnings for improper lists in translate_response/2.
2015-12-16Reduce the ludicrous number of arguments for eval_script()Björn Gustavsson
The compact wall of arguments makes it hard to see what is actually happening in eval_script(). Collect the arguments into a record.
2015-12-16Clean up handling of boot_varsBjörn Gustavsson
Expansion of $ROOT in paths are handled specially compared to boot variables. There is no reason $ROOT can't be handled as a boot variable. We can simplify the expansion of boot variables if we spend a little extra effort upfront collecting all boot variables into a map. Make the error checking for -boot_var arguments stricter. Only allow -boot_var followed by exactly two arguments to help users catch errors earlier.
2015-12-16Remove useless 'catch' in start_it/1Björn Gustavsson
The last clause in start_it/1 calls a function in some module. It goes to great length to catch any exception and pass them on unchanged, and if there was a normal return, it will just return the return value. It can been seen that the entire 'catch' construction with the reference trick is totally unnecessary.
2015-12-16Simplify get_flag() and get_flag_list()Björn Gustavsson
The get_flag/3 function which returns a default value if the flag doesn't exist, is implemented in terms of get_flag/2 which throws an exception if the flag doesn't exist. get_flag/3 is frequently used for the flags that don't exist, which means that means that an exception will be generated and catched for no good reason. Reimplement get_flag/3 so that it doesn't have to call get_flag/2 and catch an exception. Eliminate the get_flag/2 function by writing a special purpose function for the only time it's used, that is for retrieving the value for the -root flag. As a side-effect, we will get a nicer error message if there is something wrong with the -root flag. Similarly, simplify get_flag_list/3 and remove get_flag_list/2. We can also eliminate search/3 and use the lists:keyfind/3 BIF instead.
2015-12-16Clean up parsing and lookup of flagsBjörn Gustavsson
The handling of flags has been incrementally messed up over time, leading to convoluted code. Rewrite the parsing and lookup of flags. By using the appropriate data structures, the code will become simpler.
