2018-04-09erl_docgen: Add ghlink step for all non-generated doc xml filesLukas Larsson
In order to get line numbers into the ghlink we have to add a post processing step for all xml files.

2018-03-26Add +sbwt/+swt analogues for dirty schedulersJohn Högberg
Sharing these settings for all schedulers can degrade performance, so it makes sense to be able to configure them separately. This also changes the default busy-wait time to "short" for both kinds of dirty schedulers.

2018-03-21Change default async thread count to 1John Högberg
All uses of async threads in the built-in drivers have been replaced with dirty IO, so it no longer makes sense to leave the default at 10.

2018-03-15Tracing MatchSpec docs updateVladimir Gordeev
I was running this code in shell and expected it to take default `self()` meta tracer, and start tracing `erlang:put/2`. ``` F = fun F() -> timer:sleep(5000), erlang:get(unique_field), erlang:put(unique_field, 123), F() end. erlang:trace_pattern({erlang, put, 2}, [{['$1', '_'], [{'==', '$1', unique_field}], []}], [global]). erlang:trace_pattern({erlang, get, 1}, [{['_'], [], [{trace, [], [call, timestamp]}]}], [meta]). Pid = spawn(F). ``` But tracing didn't start: ``` 6> flush(). Shell got {trace_ts,<0.70.0>,call, {erlang,get,[unique_field]}, {1521,118606,753838}} Shell got {trace_ts,<0.70.0>,call, {erlang,get,[unique_field]}, {1521,118611,754798}} Shell got {trace_ts,<0.70.0>,call, {erlang,get,[unique_field]}, {1521,118616,755705}} ok 7> erlang:trace_info(Pid, flags). {flags,[]} ``` Turns out that I had false expectations, that `{trace, _, _}` would enable tracing on that process, inheriting meta tracer process as consumer of trace messages. Instead it tried to take tracer from executing process (which is pointed out in docs). But there was none, so no tracing was started and flags were simply ignored (which is not that obvious from docs). Updated docs to point out that there are cases when flags would be simply ignored, and no tracing would start.

While enif_make_binary will create heap-binaries from ErlNifBinaries when possible now, enif_alloc_binary still allocates a Binary* off-heap which is avoided entirely with enif_make_new_binary.

2018-02-02Reword docs related to the runtime system modeXavier Noria
The existing wording may be interpreted as saying that embedded mode eager loads all modules. This revision makes clear embedded mode only disables module auto loading. Since I was on it, I have reordered a couple of places to describe interactive first, and then embedded. It feels natural to cover first the default and positive mode (auto loads), and then its negation.
