2018-07-25Do not allocate a new map when the value is the sameJose Valim & Michal Muskala
This patch optimizes map operations to not allocate new maps when the key is being replaced by the exact same value in memory. Imagine this very common idiom: Map#{key := compute_new_value(Value, Condition)} where: compute_new_x(X, true) -> X + 1; compute_new_x(X, false) -> X; In many cases, we are not changing the value in `Key`, however the code prior to this patch would still allocate a new array for the map values. This optimization changes this. The cost of optimization is minimum, as in the worst case scenario it only adds a pointer comparison and boolean check. The major benefit is reducing the GC pressure by avoiding allocating data. Next we list the operations we have changed alongside the benchmark results. The benchmarks basically create a map and perform the same operations, roughly 20000 times, once replacing the key with the same value, and another with a different value. * Map#{Key := Value} For a map with 4 keys, replacing the fourth key 20000 times went from 718us to 539us. For a map with 8 keys, replacing the fourth key 20000 times went from 976us to 555us. * maps:update/3 For a map with 4 keys, replacing the fourth key 20000 times went from 673us to 575us. For a map with 8 keys, replacing the fourth key 20000 times went from 827us to 585us. * maps:put/3 For a map with 4 keys, replacing the fourth key 20000 times went from 763us to 553us. For a map with 8 keys, replacing the fourth key 20000 times went from 788us to 561us. Note that we have ported some optimizations found in maps:update/3 to maps:put/3 while creating this patch.

Optimise creation of anonymous functions
2018-07-17maps:new/0 is no longer a BIFMichał Muskała
Implementing it in Erlang allows taking advantage of the literal pool optimisation, this means the function implemented in Erlang does no allocations, while the BIF had to allocate new map each time it was called. Benchmarks show the function is also slightly faster now.
2018-07-17Optimise creation of anonymous functionsMichał Muskała
This introduces a similar optimisation for normal funs to what was introduced for external funs in #1725. It is possible to allocate the fun as a literal, if it does not capture the environment (i.e. it does not close over any variables). Unfortunately it's not possible to do this in the compiler due to problems with representation of such functions in the `.beam` files. Fortunately, we can do this in the loader. Simple evaluation shows that functions that don't capture the enviornment consistute over 60% of all funs in the source code of Erlang/OTP itself. The only downside is that we lose a meningful value in the `pid` field of the fun. The goal of this field, beyond debugging, was to be able to identify the original node of a function. To be able to still do this, the functions that are created in the loader are assigned the init pid as the creator. To solve issues with staryp, initially set the `erts_init_process_id` to `ERTS_INVALID_PID` and skip the described optimisation if the value is still uninitialised.

Symptom: emulator core dumps during crash dump generation. Problem: erts_dump_lit_areas did not grow correctly to always be equal or larger than number of loaded modules. The comment about twice the size to include both curr and old did not seem right. The beam_ranges structure contains *all* loaded module instances until they are removed when purged.
