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The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts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.

It wasn't possible to change group/owner separately, and our test

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.

To the best of our knowledge this was introduced since file operations
on device files/FIFO:s could hang the emulator forever back when the
emulator was single-threaded and lacked IO threads; a read operation
could block all progress preventing the write operation it waited for
from occurring.
Granted, this could still happen through starving all dirty IO
schedulers, but the same issue can arise with NFS files which we've
always allowed.
Removing this restriction also lets us remove a stat(2) call that was
added to specifically allow `/dev/null`.

the group leader is waiting data from IO driver

The existing wording may be interpreted as saying that embedded mode
eager loads all modules. This revision makes clear embedded mode only
disables module auto loading.
Since I was on it, I have reordered a couple of places to describe
interactive first, and then embedded. It feels natural to cover first
the default and positive mode (auto loads), and then its negation.

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.
