Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processes
2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
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 The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals.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.

2018-02-12Automatically start lcnt server on first useJohn Högberg
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.

2017-11-30Fix incorrect assumption about process activityJohn Högberg
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.

2017-10-27Correct erlang:is_builtin/3 for apply/2 and yield/0Björn Gustavsson
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: http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/2015-October/005101.html https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-500
