2010-08-30Initialize environment functionality after thread libRickard Green
An assertion failed due to the thread library not being initialized when initializing an rwmutex. This was however harmless.

2010-08-30Implement automatic detection of CPU topology on WindowsRickard Green
The CPU topology is now automatically detected on Windows systems with less than 33 logical processors. The runtime system will now, also on Windows, by default bind schedulers to logical processors using the 'default_bind' bind type if the amount of schedulers is at least equal to the amount of logical processors configured, binding of schedulers is supported, and a CPU topology is available at startup.

2010-08-19Remove binary overhead counter from ets objectsPatrik Nyblom
As the overhead counter got larger and never really was needed in ets objects, I removed them. A few stray comments of XXX:PaN type from halfword dev removed in the process.

2010-08-18Make it possible to reread and update detected CPU informationRickard Green
Calling erlang:system_info/1 with the new argument 'update_cpu_info' will make the runtime system reread and update the internally stored CPU information. For more information see the documentation of erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info).
2010-08-17Solaris/x86: Handle floating point exceptions properly in driver threadsBjörn Gustavsson
On Solaris/x86, the floating point exceptions bits seems to be propagated to child threads, so if scheduler threads use floating points exceptions, also driver threads will have floating points exception enabled. The problem is that erts_thread_init_float() has not been called for driver threads, and because of that matherr() will crash when called. Fix matherr() so that it will work even if erts_thread_init_float() has not been called. This fix was suggested by Mikael Pettersson.
2010-08-17erts: Remove broken elib_mallocBjörn Gustavsson
elib_malloc is an alternate memory allocator that is no longer possible to build.
2010-08-17erts: Remove the unused mem_drv driverBjörn Gustavsson
The mem_drv driver was only useful when elib_malloc was active.
2010-08-17erts: Remove stray pre-ISO-C compatibility macrosBjörn Gustavsson
A long time ago, the Erlang run-time system could be build with pre-ANSI/ISO-C (K&R) C compilers, but that is no longer possible. Remove the remaining uses of the compatibility macros that made it possible that possible.
2010-08-14erts: Remove unused decl.hBjörn Gustavsson
The header file erts/emulator/beam/decl.h is no longer used.
2010-08-13fix hipe_bifs_alloc_data_2 to avoid "Yikes!" warningMikael Pettersson
It's been reported that HiPE-enabled Erlang VMs running on BSD systems sometimes generate messages like Yikes! erts_alloc() returned misaligned address 0x8016a512c These originate from hipe_bif0.c:hipe_bifs_alloc_data_2(). A native code module has an associated data area of some size and alignment. In the case where the size is zero, the alignment is irrelevant, but the allocation BIF checks it anyway. The warning then triggers on systems where malloc(0) returns blocks with less alignment than we (erroneously) expected. The fix is to simply skip the allocation in this case and return NULL. The loader won't actually use the address in this case so that's safe. This is also an optimization since it avoids allocating memory that cannot be used, and it avoids fragmenting the system heap with useless tiny blocks. A second problem is that the warning message failed to identify its origin. Fixed by prefixing the message by the BIF's name rather than the silly Yikes! string. Tested and confirmed to solve the original reporter's problem.
2010-08-12Increase vheap counter to Uint64Björn-Egil Dahlberg
This will reduce the risk of integer wrapping in bin vheap counting. The vheap size series will now use the golden ratio instead of doubling and fibonacci sequences. OTP #8730

2010-08-10Merge branch 'rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544' into devRickard Green
* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544: Rewrite ethread library
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable thread library used by the runtime system itself. Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock implementation which dramatically improve the performance of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the `{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information. The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations on more platforms than before. Use the `--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/ The changed API of the ethread library has also caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done since it depends on the ethread library. Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you need to pass the `--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command line argument when configuring the system.
2010-08-07Align trailing message data for all types of structuresRickard Green
Alignment of trailing data in messages has been adjusted. This in order to be able to pass data of any type as trailing data in the future.
2010-08-04epmd: suppress startup messageMichael Santos
Running transient distributed Erlang nodes can generate a large number of informational messages to syslog. Modify epmd to log the startup message only when passed the debug switch. Reported-By: Sergey Samokhin
