2014-02-24Added support for ENEA OSELukas Larsson
This port has support for both non-smp and smp. It contains a new way to do io checking in which erts_poll_wait receives the payload of the polled entity. This has implications for all linked-in drivers.

* vinoski/ds: initial support for dirty schedulers and dirty NIFs
2014-01-28initial support for dirty schedulers and dirty NIFsSteve Vinoski
Add initial support for dirty schedulers. There are two types of dirty schedulers: CPU schedulers and I/O schedulers. By default, there are as many dirty CPU schedulers as there are normal schedulers and as many dirty CPU schedulers online as normal schedulers online. There are 10 dirty I/O schedulers (similar to the choice of 10 as the default for async threads). By default, dirty schedulers are disabled and conditionally compiled out. To enable them, you must pass --enable-dirty-schedulers to the top-level configure script when building Erlang/OTP. Current dirty scheduler support requires the emulator to be built with SMP support. This restriction will be lifted in the future. You can specify the number of dirty schedulers with the command-line options +SDcpu (for dirty CPU schedulers) and +SDio (for dirty I/O schedulers). The +SDcpu option is similar to the +S option in that it takes two numbers separated by a colon: C1:C2, where C1 specifies the number of dirty schedulers available and C2 specifies the number of dirty schedulers online. The +SDPcpu option allows numbers of dirty CPU schedulers available and dirty CPU schedulers online to be specified as percentages, similar to the existing +SP option for normal schedulers. The number of dirty CPU schedulers created and dirty CPU schedulers online may not exceed the number of normal schedulers created and normal schedulers online, respectively. The +SDio option takes only a single number specifying the number of dirty I/O schedulers available and online. There is no support yet for programmatically changing at run time the number of dirty CPU schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Also, changing the number of normal schedulers online via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, NewSchedulersOnline) should ensure that there are no more dirty CPU schedulers than normal schedulers, but this is not yet implemented. You can retrieve the number of dirty schedulers by passing dirty_cpu_schedulers, dirty_cpu_schedulers_online, or dirty_io_schedulers to erlang:system_info/1. Currently only NIFs are able to access dirty scheduler functionality. Neither drivers nor BIFs currently support dirty schedulers. This restriction will be addressed in the future. If dirty scheduler support is present in the runtime, the initial status line Erlang prints before presenting its interactive prompt will include the indicator "[ds:C1:C2:I]" where "ds" indicates "dirty schedulers", "C1" indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, "C2" indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers online, and "I" indicates the number of dirty I/O schedulers. Document The dirty NIF API in the erl_nif man page. The API closely follows Rickard Green's presentation slides from his talk "Future Extensions to the Native Interface", presented at the 2011 Erlang Factory held in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rickard's slides are available online at http://bit.ly/1m34UHB . Document the new erl command-line options, the additions to erlang:system_info/1, and also add the erlang:system_flag/2 dirty scheduler documentation even though it's not yet implemented. To determine whether the dirty NIF API is available, native code can check to see whether the C preprocessor macro ERL_NIF_DIRTY_SCHEDULER_SUPPORT is defined. To check if dirty schedulers are available at run time, native code can call the boolean enif_have_dirty_schedulers() function, and Erlang code can call erlang:system_info(dirty_cpu_schedulers), which raises badarg if no dirty scheduler support is available. Add a simple dirty NIF test to the emulator NIF suite.

2014-01-17configure: Prefer the system's zlib over own our zlib sourceBjörn Gustavsson
WxWidgets (used by the wx application) also uses zlib. To ensure that the run-time system and WxWidgets use the same version of zlib, use the system's zlib if present. Also, the system's zlib may be specially optimized and thus faster than our own generic source code. We only use zlib versions that are "good enough". For now, that means 1.2.5 or higher. Remove the option --enable-shared-zlib and add the option --enable-builtin-zlib to force the use of the built-in zlib.
2014-01-10Add support for the separate tinfo library from ncursesDirkjan Ochtman
Recent versions of ncurses can be built with terminfo symbols moved into the separate tinfo library. This patch prevents erts configure from dying by adding the tinfo library to list of termcap lib candidates.
2013-12-07Fix DTrace build on IllumosRyan Zezeski
DTrace was recently patched in Illumos to fail to create an object file if no probes are found. * https://www.illumos.org/issues/4248 * https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/54a20ab41aadcb81c53e72fc65886e964e9add59 This patch fixes two issues: * Modify the configure script to pass an object file to `dtrace -G` that actually invokes a probe. * Remove creation of `dtrace_user.o` from the dyntrace Makefile. In a previous commit [1] Scott Fritchie relocated all the user probes into the VM proper due to difficulties with DTrace probes in shared libraries. The `dtrace_user.d` file is now empty and generates a header file with nothing in it. There is no longer any reason to generate `dtrace_user.o` because all the probes are in the VM. Thus all the steps for building `dtrace_user.o` have been removed. [1]: https://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/75552bd3bb4e7f3cf4dab81a5c81cf73b1d3fb99

2013-11-01erts: Add max alignment posix_memalign configure checkLukas Larsson
On some OSs posix_memalign exists, but it does not allow for alignment greater than the current page size. So we have to do a runtime check for alignment size and also add cross compile options.

erts_sys_aligned_alloc() is currently implemented using posix_memalign if it exist, or using _aligned_malloc on Windows. If erts_sys_aligned_alloc() exist allocators will create sys_alloc carriers similar to how this was done pre-R16.

2013-01-09Add file:allocate/3 operationFilipe David Manana
This operation allows pre-allocation of space for files. It succeeds only on systems that support such operation. The POSIX standard defines the optional system call posix_fallocate() to implement this feature. However, some systems implement more specific functions to accomplish the same operation. On Linux, if the more specific function fallocate() is implemented, it is used instead of posix_fallocate(), falling back to posix_fallocate() if the fallocate() call failed (it's only supported for the ext4, ocfs2, xfs and btrfs file systems at the moment). On Mac OS X it uses the specific fcntl() operation F_PREALLOCATE, falling back to posix_fallocate() if it's available (at the moment Mac OS X doesn't provide posix_fallocate()). On any other UNIX system, it uses posix_fallocate() if it's available. Any other system not providing this system call or any function to pre-allocate space for files, this operation always fails with the ENOTSUP POSIX error.

These variables are normally declared by <netinet/in.h>, but for instance not on Windows 7, SDK 7.1. Work around that by using IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT and IN6ADDR_LOOPBACK_INIT if present, fallback to using :: and ::1.
2012-08-01Fix support for leap seconds-aware timezonesPiotr Sikora
erlang:universaltime_to_localtime is leap seconds-aware (since 2008), however erlang:localtime_to_universaltime is not, which gives surprising results on systems configured with leap seconds-aware timezones: 1> erlang:universaltime_to_localtime({{2012,1,1},{0,0,0}}). {{2012,1,1},{0,0,0}} 2> erlang:localtime_to_universaltime({{2012,1,1},{0,0,0}}). {{2012,1,1},{0,0,24}} and completely breaks calendar:local_time_to_universal_time_dst: 3> calendar:local_time_to_universal_time_dst({{2011,1,1},{0,0,0}}).
