Persistent terms are useful for storing Erlang terms that are never
or infrequently updated. They have the following advantages:
* Constant time access. A persistent term is not copied when it is
looked up. The constant factor is lower than for ETS, and no locks
are taken when looking up a term.
* Persistent terms are not copied in garbage collections.
* There is only ever one copy of a persistent term (until it is
deleted). That makes them useful for storing configuration data
that needs to be easily accessible by all processes.
Persistent terms have the following drawbacks:
* Updates are expensive. The hash table holding the keys for the
persistent terms are updated whenever a persistent term is added,
updated or deleted.
* Updating or deleting a persistent term triggers a "global GC", which
will schedule a heap scan of all processes to search the heap of all
processes for the deleted term. If a process still holds a reference
to the deleted term, the process will be garbage collected and the
term copied to the heap of the process. This global GC can make the
system less responsive for some time.
Three BIFs (implemented in C in the emulator) is the entire
interface to the persistent term functionality:
* put(Key, Value) to store a persistent term.
* get(Key) to look up a persistent term.
* erase(Key) to delete a persistent term.
There are also two additional BIFs to obtain information about
persistent terms:
* info() to return a map with information about persistent terms.
* get() to return a list of a {Key,Value} tuples for all persistent
terms. (The values are not copied.)

This makes it possible to create a custom integration with a
key-value store for example. The key would then point to the
actual address. You would have to write your own epmd module
to make use of that feature.

In order to get line numbers into the ghlink we have to add a post
processing step for all xml files.

This commit also adds a check to see that all files that
are part of an xi:include also have part of XML_FILES
and vice versa. It also fixes any applications where this
was not true.

Add the possibility to use modules as trace data receivers. The functions
in the module have to be nifs as otherwise complex trace probes will be
very hard to handle (complex means trace probes for ports for example).
This commit changes the way that the ptab->tracer field works from always
being an immediate, to now be NIL if no tracer is present or else be
the tuple {TracerModule, TracerState} where TracerModule is an atom that
is later used to lookup the appropriate tracer callbacks to call and
TracerState is just passed to the tracer callback. The default process and
port tracers have been rewritten to use the new API.
This commit also changes the order which trace messages are delivered to the
potential tracer process. Any enif_send done in a tracer module may be delayed
indefinitely because of lock order issues. If a message is delayed any other
trace message send from that process is also delayed so that order is preserved
for each traced entity. This means that for some trace events (i.e. send/receive)
the events may come in an unintuitive order (receive before send) to the
trace receiver. Timestamps are taken when the trace message is generated so
trace messages from differented processes may arrive with the timestamp
out of order.
Both the erlang:trace and seq_trace:set_system_tracer accept the new tracer
module tracers and also the backwards compatible arguments.

The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with
erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many
unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together
and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as
accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need
to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality
over multiple functions in order to improve on this.
The new API consists of a number of new BIFs:
- erlang:convert_time_unit/3
- erlang:monotonic_time/0
- erlang:monotonic_time/1
- erlang:system_time/0
- erlang:system_time/1
- erlang:time_offset/0
- erlang:time_offset/1
- erlang:timestamp/0
- erlang:unique_integer/0
- erlang:unique_integer/1
- os:system_time/0
- os:system_time/1
and a number of extensions of existing BIFs:
- erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service)
- erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize)
- erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source)
- erlang:system_info(time_offset)
- erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode)
- erlang:system_info(time_correction)
- erlang:system_info(start_time)
See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the
ERTS User's Guide for more information.
