Subject: [PATCH] Optimize signal sending to processes with
 message_queue_data=off_heap

Erlang guarantees that signals (i.e., message signals and non-message
signals) sent from a single process to another process are ordered in
send order. However, there are no ordering guarantees for signals sent
from different processes to a particular process. Therefore, several
processes can send signals in parallel to a specific process without
synchronizing with each other. However, such signal sending was
previously always serialized as the senders had to acquire the lock
for the outer signal queue of the receiving process. This commit makes
it possible for several processes to send signals to a process with
the message_queue_data=off_heap setting* activated in parallel and
without interfering with each other. This parallel signal sending
optimization yields much better scalability for signal sending than
what was previously possible**.

* Information about how to enable the message_queue_data=off_heap
  setting can be found in the documentation of the function
  erlang:process_flag/2.

** http://winsh.me/bench/erlang_sig_q/sigq_bench_result.html

Implementation
--------------

The parallel message sending optimization works only on processes with
the message_queue_data=off_heap setting enabled. For processes with
the message_queue_data=off_heap setting enabled, the new optimization
is activated and deactivated on demand based on heuristics to give a
small overhead when the optimization is unnecessary. The optimization
is activated when the contention on the lock for the outer message
queue is high. It is deactivated when the number of enqueued messages
per fetch operation (that fetch messages from the outer message queue
to the inner) is low.

When the optimization is active, the outer message queue has an array
of signal buffers where sending processes enqueue signals. When the
receiving process needs to fetch messages from the outer message
queue, the contents of the non-empty buffers are append to the outer
message queue. Each process is assigned a particular slot in the
buffer array (the process ID is used to hash to a particular
slot). That way, the system can preserve the send order between
messages coming from the same process.

+      Note that one can paste results from several benchmark runs into the field below. Results from the same scenario but from different benchmark runs will be relabeled and plotted in the same graph automatically.
