* sv-sched-percentage-option: add erl option to set schedulers by percentages OTP-11282
2013-08-29add erl option to set schedulers by percentagesSteve Vinoski
For applications where measurements show enhanced performance from the use of a non-default number of emulator scheduler threads, having to accurately set the right number of scheduler threads across multiple hosts each with different numbers of logical processors is difficult because the erl +S option requires absolute numbers of scheduler threads and scheduler threads online to be specified. To address this issue, add a +SP option to erl, similar to the existing +S option but allowing the number of scheduler threads and scheduler threads online to be set as percentages of logical processors configured and logical processors available, respectively. For example, "+SP 50:25" sets the number of scheduler threads to 50% of the logical processors configured, and the number of scheduler threads online to 25% of the logical processors available. The +SP option also interacts with any settings specified with the +S option, such that the combination of options "+S 4:4 +SP 50:50" (in either order) results in 2 scheduler threads and 2 scheduler threads online. Add documentation for the +SP option. Add tests for the +SP option to scheduler_SUITE. Add tests and documentation for two existing features of the +S option: +S 0:0 resets the scheduler thread count and scheduler threads online count to their defaults, and specifying negative numbers for +S results in those values being subtracted from the default values for the host.

2013-08-23Create better distribution of files over async threadsPatrik Nyblom
The actual port id is used to create a key from the pointer value which is the ErlDrvPort. To do this a new driver api function driver_async_port_key is added and the driver API minor version is updated. The documentation is updated and the faulty description of how to spread ports over async threads is updated to use the new API. Testcase also added.

2013-08-07erts: Fix race in ptab that can cause PID mix-upsSverker Eriksson
Since: R16B01 Symptom: A spawned process may get the same PID as an existing process. The new process will "steal" the PID and make the old process unreachable through the PID. The problem also applies to port identities but has only been seen for processes. Conditions: SMP emulator with at least two scheduler threads. Rapid spawning and termination of a large number of processes. A small number of free slots in the process table will also increase the risk for this bug. Workaround: Use command line options "+P legacy" and "+Q legacy" Cause: The race happens if a process terminates and gets stalled while releasing its process table slot. The stall has to be so long (due to OS preemptive scheduling most probably) for other schedluer threads to consume all other free slots for newly spawn processes. Fix: Write invalid-markers in the free-pid-table and do atomic exhange operations in retry-loops to make sure each thread gets a unique PID.

Please find an updated version of the patch attached to this e-mail. I hope that you still accept it via e-mail because the former patch was sent the same way ;-). I have extended the documentation to list the new key combinations and added tests to make sure they work.

Documentation and tests are extended to reflect the new functionality.

* sze/to_erl/OTP-11206: Fix changing terminal parameters in to_erl
2013-07-22Fix changing terminal parameters in to_erlStefan Zegenhagen
One of our devices does not like 'to_erl' to be run over a serial port. When to_erl is started, we see "Attaching to /tm<0xFF>" being printed and the device then refuses to accept any input. Occasionally, we have seen a linux kernel error message "serial8250: too much work for irq16" simultaneously. After some debugging we found out that cause is a call to tcsetattr() by to_erl, immediately preceeded by some printf(). The UART in our device doesn't like hardware parameters to be changed while output is concurrently active. In fact, the GNU libc manual also mentions that it might be dangerous to change UART hardware parameters when a transmission is ongoing. The patch attached to this e-mail changes the behaviour of to_erl to use TCSADRAIN instead of TCSANOW when changing terminal parameters. This makes the serial driver wait for the output queues to be empty before applying the terminal parameter change.

Since b29ecbd (OTP-10418, R15B03) Erlang does not compile anymore with old versions of GCC that do not have atomic ops builtins on platforms where there is no native ethread implementation (e.g. ARM): In file included from ../include/internal/gcc/ethread.h:29, from ../include/internal/ethread.h:354, from beam/erl_threads.h:264, from beam/erl_smp.h:27, from beam/sys.h:413, from hipe/hipe_mkliterals.c:29: ../include/internal/gcc/ethr_membar.h:49:4: error: #error "No __sync_val_compare_and_swap" This patch adds a header guard in "gcc/ethread.h", as is present in "libatomic_ops/ethread.h".
