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
2016-02-02erts: Add ERTS_WRITE_UNLIKELYLukas Larsson
ERTS_WRITE_UNLIKELY can be used to place global variables in a specific section where only data that is very rarely modified sits. This is used to improve cache locality.

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.

2016-01-20Introduce time warp safe replacement for safe_fixed optionRickard Green
The new time warp safe option is safe_fixed_monotonic_time which gives erlang:monotonic_time(). The safe_fixed option was also slightly changed. It now gives erlang:timestamp() instead of erlang:now(). This has however not been documented, so it is considered a compatible change. The above effects both ets, and dets. This commit also include the bugfix OTP-13239 for dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed). The timestamp in the result returned by dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed) was unintentionally broken as a result of the time API rewrites in OTP 18.0.
