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The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts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 changes are based on the latest versions of following modules
and are also similar to gen_statem Emacs skeleton. Note that the
gen_fsm is not updated because it is deprecated.

Split the manual testcase and run them in daily tests instead.
Easy to run directly as well:
(cd ../test; cerl -eval "emacs_SUITE:indent([])")

lcnt:collect is documented as implicitly starting the lcnt server
but didn't do so prior to this commit. I've decided to extend this
behavior to all operations as the overhead is negligible and it's
a bit more convenient to use.

The tests assume that the most active process will be the current
one, which is no longer true since the delayed_write option now
uses a wrapper process for much of its work.
The timeout for this test has been increased to account for the
lack of delayed_write; 60s was enough for everything except the
debug build on some machines.

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.

erlang:is_builtin(erlang, M, F) returns false for apply/2 and
yield/0. The documentation for erlang:is_builtin/3 says that it
returns true for BIFs that are implemented in C. apply/2 and
yield/0 are implemented in C (as BEAM instructions), and
therefore the correct return value is true.
Also see a similar argument that was made for apply/3 in the past:
