* raimo/type-posix-0-overhaul/ERL_550/OTP-14019:
Update types for posix error codes
|
|
I have read the man pages for most socket and file operations
on recent Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris 10 and noted
the possible error codes.
Which error codes that are possible for file operations have
been updated in file:posix/0. Error codes for socket operations
in inet:posix/0. The latter refers to the former so it is
a superset, assuming that e.g sendfile and AF_UNIX socket
operations could cause socket operations to return any file
error code. That is not entirely true, but could be,
especially in the future.
Added to file:posix/0 are:
ebadmsg edeadlk edeadlock eftype emultihop enobufs enolck enolink
enosr enostr enosys eopnotsupp eoverflow erange etxtbsy
Added to inet:posix/0 are all but:
exbadport exbadseq file:posix()
These are still possible according to erl_posix_str.c,
but are not in file:posix/0 nor in inet:posix/0,
and many of them are not file nor inet related, but some might be:
e2big eadv ealign ebade ebadfd ebadr ebadrpc ebadrqc
ebadslt ebfont echild echrng ecomm edirty

Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processes
|
|
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been
performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system
implementation has however previously preformed most operation
synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this
is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads
of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support)
it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures
when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing
true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention
issues.
The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due
to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a
frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the
language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals
to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations
of (almost) all signals have been changed.
Currently the following signals have been implemented as true
asynchronous signals:
- Message signals
- Exit signals
- Monitor signals
- Demonitor signals
- Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc)
- Link signals
- Unlink signals
- Group leader signals
All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the
language. The implementation of messages signals was quite
asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints
due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes.
The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts
that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal
queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file.
The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced
in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good
as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link
implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

This checks if the module is already loaded using erlang:module_loaded
before calling the code server. This should improve performance of the
call significantly since the case where module is already loaded is the
common one.
The change shouldn't cause any problems. It's worth noting that
code:ensure_modules_loaded already does a similar check.

the group leader is waiting data from IO driver

Currently HiPE amd64 assumes the runtime system code is loaded into
the low 2G of the address space. However, this is not the case when
PIE is enabled, it is loaded into a random location. So trampolines
are required to call BIFs, and also we have first to load the address
of sse2_fnegate_mask to a regisiter before xorpd in fchs.

OTP:13713: Add documentation and typespecs for inet:i/0
|
|
|
|
putenv(3) and friends aren't thread-safe regardless of how you slice
it; a global lock around all environment operations (like before)
keeps things safe as far as our own operations go, but we have
absolutely no control over what libc or a library dragged in by a
driver/NIF does -- they're free to call getenv(3) or putenv(3)
without honoring our lock.
This commit solves this by setting up an "emulated" environment which
can't be touched without going through our interfaces. Third-party
libraries can still shoot themselves in the foot but benign uses of
os:putenv/2 will no longer risk crashing the emulator.

In general, the new NIF-based file routines are faster than the old
efile driver.
However, on some computers, building the entire OTP system is somewhat
slower. It turns out that it is because 'erlc' cheated by turning off
the IO thread pool (using '+A0') to avoid context switches between
scheduler threads and threads in the IO thread pool. The new file
routines perform IO on dirty IO threads, and there is (by intent) no
way to force the operations to occur on scheduler threads to avoid
the context switches
What we can do to is to use a small (4Kb) read-ahead buffer for files
opened for reading (only) in list mode (which is how the compiler
opens its input files). The buffering reduces the number of context
switches between scheduler threads and dirty IO threads. On my
computer that seems to slightly speed up building of the entire OTP
system.
The buffer should do no harm. The only potential for harm I can
think of is random access to a file opened in read mode, where
the read-ahead buffer could slightly decrease performance. That
does not seems to be a likely use case in practice, though.

System resources/functionality may need to be reference counted
to be handled correctly when used or enabled/disabled from more
than one process or application.
It is easier to handle this in erlang code than in erts, so make a
process that deals with the housekeeping.
