Call count previously used a global lock for accessing and writing
its counter in the breakpoint. This is now changed to atomics instead.
The change will let call count tracing and cprof to scale better
when increasing the number of schedulers.
|
|
|
|
To solve the issue of multiple schedulers constantly updating the
head pointer to the bp data wheel, each scheduler now has its own
entrypoint to the wheel. This head pointer can be updated without
a locking being taken. Previously there were no lock ...

call_time trace will use instruction pointers instead of
breakpoint data pointers. More costly lookup but the bdt
structure might be deallocated, we do not want that.
Remove unnecessary pattern lock.

op_i_time_breakpoint is now used
|
|
Call time breakpoint tracing traces per call trace per process.
- Add hashes to support the extra dimension.
- Teach trace_info/2 to handle the extra information dimension.

Initial commit with a new breakpoint instruction and PSD areas
for temporary time storage during tracing.

erlang:system_info(multi_scheduling) sometimes erroneously returned enabled
when it should have returned blocked.
|
|
Alignment of scheduler data and run queues were adjusted.

The runtime system will by default bind schedulers to logical processors
using the default_bind bind type if the amount of schedulers are at least
equal to the amount of logical processors configured, binding of schedulers
is supported, and a CPU topology is available at startup.
NOTE: If the Erlang runtime system is the only operating system process
that binds threads to logical processors, this improves the performance of
the runtime system. However, if other operating system processes (as for
example another Erlang runtime system) also bind threads to logical
processors, there might be a performance penalty instead. If this is the
case you, are are advised to unbind the schedulers using the <seealso
marker="erl#+sbt">+sbtu</seealso> command line argument, or by invoking
<seealso
marker="erlang#system_flag_scheduler_bind_type">erlang:system_flag(schedule
r_bind_type, unbound)</seealso>.

New NIF features:
Send messages from a NIF, or from thread created by NIF, to any local
process (enif_send)
Store terms between NIF calls (enif_alloc_env, enif_make_copy)
Create binary terms with user defined memory management
(enif_make_resource_binary)

The Erlang code preprocessor (epp) did not correctly handle premature
end-of-input when defining macros. This bug, introduced in STDLIB 1.16, has
been fixed.

* origin/pan/otp_8579_autoimport_override:
Update preloaded modules
Update primary bootstrap
Remove outcommented code from erl_lint
Make port_command/3 auto-imported
Remove (harmless) warnings about min/max in core applications
Autoimport min/2 and max/2
Improve coverage of erl_int in testcases
Change warning to error for nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive
Add -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}) doc to compiler.xml
Add some testcases to compiler to verify that overriding really happens
Return nowarn_bif_clash functionality but with warning
Teach erl_lint to better override BIFs with local functions and imports
Teach compiler to override autoimport with import
First prototype for local functions overriding autoimported
OTP-8579 Local functions should override auto-imported
Local and imported functions now override the autoimported
BIFs when the names clash. The pre R14 behaviour was that
autoimported BIFs would override local functions. To avoid
that old programs change behaviour, the following will
generate an error:
Doing a call without explicit module name to a local function
having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF
that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A
Explicitly importing a function having a name clashing with
the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and
autoimported) before OTP R14A Using any form of the old
compiler directive nowarn_bif_clash
If the BIF was added or autoimported in OTP R14A or later,
overriding it with an import or a local function will only
result in a warning,
To resolve clashes, you can either use the explicit module
name erlang to call the BIF, or you can remove the autoimport
of that specific BIF by using the new compiler directive
-compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]})., which makes all calls to
the local or imported function without explicit module name
pass without warnings or errors.
The change makes it possible to add autoimported BIFs without
breaking or silently changing old code in the future. However
some current code ingeniously utilizing the old behaviour or
the nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive, might need changing
to be accepted by the compiler.

* pan/otp_8577_re_pattern_doc:
Add documentation of what part of a re mp() can be used for guard tests
OTP-8577 Document re_pattern properties
Some properties of a compiled re pattern are defined to allow for guard
tests.
|

* pan/otp_8611_standard_io:
Teach file:write/read/read_line about named io_servers
OTP-8611 file:write,read and read_line on named io_device()
The file module's functions write,read and read_line now handles named
io_servers like 'standard_io' and 'standard_error' correctly.
|
|
* pan/unregister_error:
Add possibly missing process lock before unregistering oneself
Keep process lock over trace of unregister
OTP-8663 Unregister may crash VM
Extreme combinations of register/unregister in a highly parallell SMP
application could crash the VM. The error is corrected.
|
|
* pan/otp_8086_ms_grammar:
Add match_specification grammar documentation specifically for ets
OTP-8086 Grammar for match specification describes tracing only
The grammar for match specifications in ERTS users guide only described the
tracing dialect of match specifications. An informal grammar for the ETS
dialect is added.

* pan/otp_3626_win_find_executable:
Teach os.erl to find executable names with extension (i.e. .exe) on windows
OTP-3626 os:find_executable bug on Windows
os:find_executable can now be fed with the complete name of the executable
on Windows and still find it. I.e os:find_executable("werl.exe") will work
as os:find_executable("werl").

Wrote and changed some tests in stdlib:erl_lint_SUITE
nowarn_bif_clash is obsoleted but will remove warnings and errors about bif
clashes. The recommended way is to use no_auto_import directives instead.
Hopefully erlang.erl is the only user in the world of nowarn_bif_clash.

Added only a few testcases in compiler:error_SUITE and guard_SUITE
The new behaviour of warnings and errors when overriding autoimported BIF's:
Bifs that were autoimported before R14 are dangerous because old code
using them and overriding them in exports can start behaving
differently. For newly added autoimports this can't happen to the new
code that wants to (or dont want to) use them, why only warnings are
added for the BIFs autoimported after the compilator change. Errors
are issued only for code that could have worked in one way in R13 and
now will behave in a different way.
If overriding autoimport with local function:
- if explicit -compile directive supresses autoimport
-> no message
else
- if called from inside module
- if pre R14 autoimported bif
-> error
else
-> warning
else
-> no message
If overriding autoimport with import directive
- if explicit -compile directive supresses autoimport
-> no message
else (regardless of actual usage)
- if pre R14 autoimported bif
-> error
else
-> warning
Calls of local functions or imports overriding autoimported functions
(either post R14 or by using explicit -compile supressions of
autoimport) always goes to the local function or the imported.
The compileation errors are added to not let code like this silently
and disastrously change its semantic (probably to an infinite loop)
between R13 and R14:
----------
-module(m).
-export([length/1]).
length(X) ->
...
Y = length(Z),
....
----------
The user has to select if he/she wants to call length in 'erlang' explicitly
or if the overriding semantics is desired, in which case the -compile
directive has to be used.
-compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}). Is added to allow to override the
autoimports so that code gets unanbiguous. The directive will remove
an autoimport even if there is no local function or import overriding,
because any other behaviour would be inconsistent and confusing.
record_info and module_info can never be overridden.

Import directives still not sorted out!

Expressions evaluating to integers can now be used in types and function
specifications where hitherto only integers were allowed
("Erlang_Integer").

* jv/autoimport-binary_to_term_2:
Change binary_to_term/2 to be auto-imported
OTP-8671 jv/autoimport-binary_to_term_2
Now, binary_to_term/2 is auto-imported. This will cause a compile warning
if and only if a module has got a local function with that name.

Unix semantics.
