Merge branch 'sverker/hipe-load-fixing/OTP-14891' into maint

2018-01-24T14:00:05+00:00

kernel: Correct contracts and a bug in group_history

2018-01-22T15:39:08+00:00

Fix slow hipe execution

2018-01-17T19:00:49+00:00

particularly slow erlc when compiler is hipe compiled.

hipe_unified_loader:load did not patch external call sites
and instead caused a double hipe mode switch per call.

hipe_unified_loader:load is only used
for early modules first loaded as beam
and by code:atomic_load and friends.

kernel: Add os:cmd/2 with max_size option

2018-01-17T15:36:22+00:00

stdlib: Let filelib:find_source() search subdirs

2018-01-05T15:37:42+00:00

The Design Principles states that an application can have Erlang
source files one level below the "src" directory, and now
filelib:find_source() by default searches one level below "src".

The same applies to "esrc". That directory is only mentioned in
filename(3).

Merge branch 'sverker/cuddle-valgrind' into maint

kernel: Try fix/skip prim_file_SUITE:large_write for valgrind

2017-12-12T15:32:51+00:00

by limiting the memory usage.

Our valgrind test machine (pharazon) seems to get totally swamped
by this test case.
