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The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts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

Anywhere but the beam sources we shouldn't #include "erl_nif.h", because
what "erl_nif.h" does is: (1) fail to find it outside of -I dirs, (2)
then treat it as if it was written like <erl_nif.h>. Using <erl_nif.h>
skips (1).
More information can be found in 6.10.2 of the C standard.
Because the examples use "erl_nif.h", NIF projects in the Erlang
ecosystem copy this verbatim and make the same mistake.

From 'com_ericsson_dyntrace' to 'org_erlang_dyntrace'.
This domain name is more suitable.

Since no test suites includede test_server.hrl, there is no need
to have test_server in the include path or code path.
|
|
As a first step to removing the test_server application as
as its own separate application, change the inclusion of
test_server.hrl to an inclusion of ct.hrl and remove the
inclusion of test_server_line.hrl.

Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the
different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area
is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which
states the threads are in and then from there figuring out
why and where to optimize.
Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is
relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the
states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled
through configure.
I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off
is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent.
If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark,
the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on
somewhere inbetween 5-15%.

Ensure dbg tracer exits when dbg is stopped

* fishcakez/runtime_tools/dbg/OTP-12517:
Ensure dbg tracer exits when dbg is stopped

Previously the tracer might receive an 'EXIT' message in the trace
receive loop and treat it as garbage.
Test uses a custom dbg process handler to reliably recreate the
race condition, i.e. the message order {trace, ..}, {'EXIT, ..}.

This patch allows checking for NIF API version in a way similar to
driver version. E.g. by calling erlang:system_info(nif_version).
