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.

particularly slow erlc when compiler is hipe compiled.
hipe_unified_loader:load did not patch external call sites
and instead caused a double hipe mode switch per call.
hipe_unified_loader:load is only used
for early modules first loaded as beam
and by code:atomic_load and friends.

OTP:13713: Add documentation and typespecs for inet:i/0
|
|
|
|
The Design Principles states that an application can have Erlang
source files one level below the "src" directory, and now
filelib:find_source() by default searches one level below "src".
The same applies to "esrc". That directory is only mentioned in
filename(3).
|
|
Previously we accepted trailing NULs, which was backwards compatible
as such usage never resulted in misbehavior in the first place. The
downside is that it prevented erts_native_filename_need from
returning an accurate number of *actual characters*, needlessly
complicating encoding-agnostic code like erts_osenv.

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.

Our valgrind test machine (pharazon) seems to get totally swamped

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.

The option no longer does anything; systems that lack support for
non-blocking sendfile(2) will use the Erlang fallback.
|
|
The parts relating to drivers/ports are now obsolete, and the
provided example was far noisier than it had to be; the only
relevant metric is the number of calls and it's up to the user to
decide how those will be reduced. One could argue for its complete
removal, but I'm inclined to leave it be.
|
|
The option no longer does anything at all.
|
|
The old driver didn't fall back to using write(2) if writev(2) failed
due to the combined length of the iov overflowing a ssize_t, but the
new one doesn't have any problems with it so we failed this test with
a case_clause error on 32-bit machines.

This test revolves around the possibility that the underlying port
can be killed, which is nonsense now that the file suite no longer
uses ports for anything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The cumulative wait time was as long as the delay itself in the
flush-on-size test, causing the test to pass because the write
managed to time out.

This also hides the module behind ?PRIM_FILE to make testing new
implementations less painful.

This improves the latency of file operations as dirty schedulers
are a bit more eager to run jobs than async threads, and use a
single global queue rather than per-thread queues, eliminating the
risk of a job stalling behind a long-running job on the same thread
while other async threads sit idle.
There's no such thing as a free lunch though; the lowered latency
comes at the cost of increased busy-waiting which may have an
adverse effect on some applications. This behavior can be tweaked
with the +sbwt flag, but unfortunately it affects all types of
schedulers and not just dirty ones. We plan to add type-specific
flags at a later stage.
sendfile has been moved to inet_drv to lessen the effect of a nasty
race; the cooperation between inet_drv and efile has never been
airtight and the socket dying at the wrong time (Regardless of
reason) could result in fd aliasing. Moving it to the inet driver
makes it impossible to trigger this by closing the socket in the
middle of a sendfile operation, while still allowing it to be
aborted -- something that can't be done if it stays in the file
driver.
The race still occurs if the controlling process dies in the short
window between dispatching the sendfile operation and the dup(2)
call in the driver, but it's much less likely to happen now.
A proper fix is in the works.

Notable functional differences:
* The use_threads option for file:sendfile/5 no longer has any
effect.
* The file-specific DTrace probes have been removed. The same
effect can be achieved with normal tracing together with the
nif__entry/nif__return probes to track scheduling.
