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The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts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

The ~p format specifier made file:consult/1 hysterically slow on one
of our test machines that had a unicode character in the root of the
code path; all paths were printed as lists and indented with way too
much whitespace.
Using ~w avoids this issue by never indenting.

runtime_tools: Add scheduler module
|
|
|
|
|
|
The previous implementation generated a term, converted it to plain
text with io_lib:format/2, and then converted that to a binary
before writing it to disk.
We now emit the term as we go, which should make it a bit safer to
extract this information under load.

* dgud/kernel/refc_sched_wall_time/OTP-11694:
test: spawn scheduler_wall_time flag holder
Turn on scheduler_wall_time in an alive process
Redirect system_flag(scheduler_wall_time,_) to kernel_refc
kernel: add a resource reference counter
|
|
scheduler_wall_time is ref-counted so it will turn off
if process dies, keep the process that turns it on alive.

efile_drv is gone and so is the need for file-specific DTrace. The
new implementation works fine with the normal tracing mechanism so
there's nothing preventing anyone from making an erl_tracer nif
that forward these events to DTrace.

This commit also adds a check to see that all files that
are part of an xi:include also have part of XML_FILES
and vice versa. It also fixes any applications where this
was not true.
