Instead of forking from the beam process, we create a separate
process in which all forks are done. This has several advantages:
1) performance:
* don't have to close all fd's in the world
* fork only has to copy stuff from a small process
* work is done in a completely seperate process
* a 3x performance increase has been measured,
can be made even greater (10x) if we cache the
environment in child setup
2) stability
* the exec is done in another process than beam, which means that
if the file that we exec to is on an nfs that is not available
right now we will not block a scheduler until the nfs returns.
3) simplicity
* don't have to deal with SIGCHLD in the erts
Unfortunately, this solution also implies some badness.
1) There will always be a seperate process running together with
beam on unix. This could be confusing and undesirable.
2) We have to transfer the entire environment to child_setup
for each command.

The OSE port is no longer supported and this commit removed it
and any changes related to it. The things that were general
improvements have been left in the code.

ppc64le is a new arch/ABI that runs on IBM POWER processor starting at POWER8
processor, and it should be listed as a ppc64, mainly for hipe enablement.

Change erts/configure.in to force-disable FP exceptions if
the VM is compiled by clang/llvm. clang/llvm generates FP
code which does not work with FP exceptions (whether unmasked
as used in the Erlang VM, or masked followed by tests of
which are signalled). This is a known long-standing problem.
|
|
Don't repeat cpu_sup in os_mon_programs - some OS gets confused, i.e. illumos.

Using 'AC_EGREP_CPP(yes' without restraining the pattern always return
true if it runs from a path containing the string 'yes'.

The configuration code which canonicalizes the operating system
name into OPSYS requires Linux to be spelled 'linux' or 'Linux'.
This is a problem in some build environments, e.g. RPM, which
supply --build and --host using the longer 'linux-gnu' spelling.
The effect is that OPSYS becomes 'noopsys' and some checks in
erts/configure.in do not work as expected, e.g. the auto-enabling
of HiPE may not happen.
Fixed by matching on 'linux*' not just 'linux'.
On ARM there are even longer variants such as 'linux-gnueabi' and
'linux-gnueabihf': these are also correctly mapped to 'linux' now.

Different poll/select implementations have different ways
to handle timeouts of < ms accuracy. Most have extended
API like pselect or such, while others rely on using
timerfds (epoll_wait). If no high accuracy timeout is
available, we simply round up to nearest ms. If we do not
roundup we will spin the last ms when waiting for a timeout
which is not desirable.

Perfctr is a Linux kernel extension that allows programmatic access
to the performance monitoring counters found in most current CPUs.
However, development of perfctr ceased after 2010, and it cannot be
used with Linux kernels newer than 2.6.32.
Therefore the perfctr support code in the Erlang VM is effectively
dead code, so this patch removes it.

* oliv3/math_log2/OTP-12411:
Add math:log2/1
|

* Use of __atomic builtins when available.
* Improved configure test that checks for missing memory
barrier in __sync_synchronize(). The old approach was to
verify known working gcc versions and check gcc version at
compile time. Besides not being very safe, the old approach
often unnecessarily caused usage of the very expensive
workaround.
* Introduced (no overhead) workaround for missing clobber in
__sync_synchronize() when using buggy LLVM implementation of
__sync_synchronize().
* Implement native memory barriers for ARM processors supporting
the DMB instruction.
* Use of volatile store on Alpha as atomic set operation if no
__atomic_store_n() is available (already used on x86/x86_64
Sparc V9, PowerPC, and MIPS). Fallback used when not using
volatile store is typically very expensive.
* Use volatile load on Alpha and ARM as atomic read operation
if no __atomic_load_n() is available (already used on
x86/x86_64 Sparc V9, PowerPC, and MIPS). Fallback when not
using volatile load is typically very expensive.

This avoids forking off with os:cmd every time we just want to
collect the load averages. riak does this every second, which
results in a lot of unnecessary load.

Handle peer addresses that are unconfirmed (i.e. in state SCTP_UNCONFIRMED).
Handle unknown states instead of using ASSERT

When configuring erts to support dynamic trace via dtrace, be sure to clean
up the temporary file "erts/foo-dtrace.h" used to help check for dtrace
support. Otherwise, it shows up as an untracked file in git.

OS X Mavericks builds result in a number of warnings about finite() being
deprecated, like these:
beam/erl_arith.c:451:7: warning: 'finite' is deprecated: first deprecated in OS X 10.9 [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
ERTS_FP_ERROR(p, f1.fd, goto badarith);
^
sys/unix/erl_unix_sys.h:319:33: note: expanded from macro 'ERTS_FP_ERROR'
^
sys/unix/erl_unix_sys.h:244:51: note: expanded from macro '__ERTS_FP_ERROR'
^
/usr/include/math.h:718:12: note: 'finite' has been explicitly marked deprecated here
extern int finite(double) __OSX_AVAILABLE_BUT_DEPRECATED(__MAC_10_0, __MAC_10_9, __IPHONE_NA, __IPHONE_NA);
Add checks to use isfinite() instead of finite() where available. Verified
on OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 and Ubuntu 12.04.

Similar to debugging with Valgrind, it's very useful to enable
-fsanitize= switches to catch bugs at runtime.
