* bg/compiler-beam_validator:
beam_validator: fix incorrect assumptions about GC guard BIFs
OTP-8378 In rare circumstances when using garbaging collecting guard BIFs,
the validation pass (beam_validator) would signal that the code
was unsafe, when it in fact was correct. (Thanks to Kiran
Khaladkar.)

* fh/common_test-includes:
make it possible to include ct.hrl using include_lib
Include test_servers's include files in the bootstrap
OTP-8379 It is now possible to include the ct.hrl using the -include_lib
directive. (Thanks to Fred Hebert.)

In an SMP emulator, two of the test cases in statistics_SUITE
frequently fail.
Remove the runtime_zero_update/1 test case, because you can't
really expect an SMP emulator not to spend any CPU time at
all even if no Erlang process is active.
Adjust the runtime_update/1 test case to not fail if the
measured times are note close enough. It will still fail
if statistics(runtime) would fail or return the wrong type.
|

It is major annoyance that ct.hrl cannot be included
using "-include_lib". The problem is that ct.hrl in turn
includes the test_server include files using "-include".
Fix it by using "-include_lib" in ct.hrl.

To make it possible to use -include_lib to include the include
files for test_server, those include files must be included
in the bootstrap directory.

* egil/binary-gc:
Add documentation for binary heap size settings.
Add tracing capabilities for binary virtual heap
Add min heap size start options to beam and erl
Improve binary garbage collection
OTP-8370 The default settings for garbage collection of binaries has been
adjusted to be less aggressive than in R13B03. It is now also
possible configure the settings for binary GC. See the
documentation for spawn_opt/2-5, erlang:system_info/1,
erlang:system_flag/2, process_flag/2-3, erlang:trace/3, and the
documenation for erl for the new command line options +hms and
+hmbs.

The beam_validator pass incorrectly assumes that a GC guard
BIF (such as length/1) may first do a garbage collection
and then fail. That assumption is not correct (guards BIF
only do garbage collection when it is known that the BIF
call will succeed), and will cause the compiler to reject
valid programs.
Modify the beam_validator to assume that if the branch is
taken for a gc_bif instruction, all registers are unchanged
and no garbage collection has occurred. Also add a comment
in the emulator about that assumption.

Documentation of min_heap_size and min_bin_vheap size for:
* spawn_opt/2, spawn_opt/3, spawn_opt/4, spawn_opt/5
* erlang:system_flag/2
* erlang:system_info/1
* process_flag/2
* process_info/2
* erlang:trace/3
Documentation for the new beam start arguments:
+hms Size, Default minimum heap size for processes.
+hmbs Size, Default minimum binary virtual heap size.
|
|
|
|
The erl (and beam) start arguments are extended with
the following options:
* +hms Size, sets the default minimum heap size
for processes.
* +hmbs Size, sets the default minimum binary virtual heap
size for processes.
The previous +h Size argument can still be used for backward
compatibility purposes.

The garbage collector in r13b03 is too aggressive in some cases. This
commit raises the level of default initial allowed binary garbage
(virtual heap for binaries) before collecting from 233 words to
46368 words (181 kB on 32-bit).
A new option, min_bin_vheap_size, has been added to spawn_opt,
system_flag and process_flag can be used to change the default values.
The option can also be used with system_info and process_info to
inspect the values.
For symmetry the option min_heap_size has been added to the above
functions where it was previously missing.
Add testcases for min_bin_vheap_size and min_heap_size for
functions process_flag/2, process_info/2, system_info/2 and
spawn_opt/2.

* jv/binary_to_term-opts:
document ErtsExternalDist flags and CON_ID mask
add options to binary_to_term
OTP-8367 There is new erlang:binary_to_binary/2 BIF that takes an option
list. The option safe can be used to prevent creation of
resources that are not garbage collected (such as atoms). (Thanks
to Jayson Vantuyl.)

OTP-8368 The configure test for reliable floating point exceptions has

Trannie Carter.)

The commands in otp_build for updating the checked-in preloaded
modules only works in ClearCase.
Add support updating the preloaded files in a git repository as well.
Check the $version_controller variable so that we can have
"otp_build update_preloaded" do different things depending on
whether it is run in a ClearCase view or a git repository.
When run in a git repository, "otp_build update_preloaded" will
update and commit the preloaded modules (to undo the updating of
the preloaded modules, do "git reset --hard HEAD^").
Update the usage text to only show the commands relevant to
the kind of VCS it is being run in.

We want to add the ability for otp_build to determine which
version control system (VCS) is being used, so that the
commands for updating the primary bootstrap and pre-loaded
modules can be updated to do different things depending on
the VCS.
In the beginning of the otp_build script, set the variable
"version_controller" to either "none" (for no VCS), "git",
or "clearcase".

When building a primary bootstrap in a git repository, the file
bootstrap/lib/stdlib/egen/erl_parse.erl would not get updated.
With clearmake, this file is updated.
Adding an explicit rule for the file make it it work with GNU Make.
While at it, remove an out-commented rule.

Handle "extra" field according to specs in ALIVE2_REQ and PORT2_RESP.
OTP-8361 EPMD now correctly handles the extra data field which can be
given in the ALIVE2_REQ request and retrieved in the PORT2_RESP
response. (Thanks to Klas Johansson.)

In the ErtsExternalDist structure, the flags field holds a combination of flags
(tagged into the high bits) and the connection ID (in the low bits). This
wasn't clearing indicated anywhere. This patch adds a comment before the flags
and mask that indicates their use and relation to each other. This will help
guide people through the code and reduce the likelihood that someone will add a
flag without adjusting the mask.

term_to_binary and binary_to_term are powerful tools that can be used easily in
lieu of a custom binary network protocol. Unfortunately, carefully crafted
data can be used to exhaust the memory in an Erlang node by merely attempting
to decode binaries. This makes it unsafe to receive data from untrusted
sources.
This is possible because binary_to_term/1 will allocate new atoms and new
external function references. These data structures are not garbage collected.
This patch implements the new form of binary_to_term that takes a list of
options, and a simple option called 'safe'. If specified, this option will
cause decoding to fail with a badarg error if an atom or external function
reference would be allocated.
In the general case, it will happily decode any Erlang term other than those
containing new atoms or new external function references. However, fun, pid,
and ref data types can embed atoms. They might fail to decode if one of these
embedded atoms is new to the node. This may be an issue if encoded binaries
are transferred between nodes or persisted between invocations of Erlang.

Don't let the length field pollute the value of the "extra" field in
ALIVE2_REQ. Extra was read, starting at the second byte of the two
byte length field, which meant that it was included in the result and
the last byte of the value was skipped:
if "extra" is <<1, 2>>, return <<0, 2, 1, 2>> not <<0, 2, 2, 1>>
Increment the offset correctly when sending PORT2_RESP, in order to
make sure the "extra" field won't be truncated:
if "extra" is <<>>, return <<0, 0>> not <<0>>
if "extra" is <<1, 2>>, return <<0, 2, 1, 2>> not <<0, 2, 1>>
Allow null characters in "extra".

Place HighestVersion before LowestVersion, since that is what the
source code does (erl_epmd.erl and epmd_srv.c).

This is an optimization to avoid sending huge terms to the gui
just to step by them and update variables again.
Even better would be to only update if necessary.

ucontext routines are deprecated in Snow Leopard and defining
_XOPEN_SOURCE is the suggested remedy.
|
|
The mcontext_t structure changed between Tiger & Leopard and the erts
configure script doesn't take this into account when testing for
reliable floating point exceptions. HiPE is not enabled when reliable
fpes are not detected.
The PPC test preserves the pre-modern mcontext_t and so builds on Tiger,
but I suspect that PPC/Leopard is broken. I don't have the header files
to check modern PPC mcontext_t so I haven't changed that part of the test.
