Update preloaded erlang.beam
Removed stray error in dialyzer test suite - different error message
with the new specs.
|
|
This involves exception BIF's, guar BIF's and some other complicated BIF's
Also some minor corrections to documentation and specs in erlang.erl
Added comment for each spec in erlang.erl shadowed by erl_bif_types.
Dialyzer test should now run well except for one or two cases.

Reintroduced setelement in erlang.erl and erlang.xml

* sverk/packet_size-http/OTP-9389:
erts: Remove truncation of http packet parsing and return error instead
honor packet_size for http packet parsing to fix OTP-9389
|
|
This is a slight modification of previous commit by Steve Vinoski
For backward compatibility of old users of decode_packet, I think it's enough
to return error instead of keeping the old line truncation behaviour.

* rickard/deprecate-runtime-binding/OTP-9749:
Deprecate erlang:system_flag/2 arguments scheduler_bind_type and cpu_topology
|
|
The use of erlang:system_flag(scheduler_bind_type, _) and
erlang:system_flag(cpu_topology, _) have been deprecated and scheduled
for removal in erts-5.10/OTP-R16. For more information see the
documentation of erlang:system_flag/2.

* rickard/default-unbound/OTP-9726:
Use unbound schedulers as default
|
|
The reload mechanism is an odd feature that does not harmonize
with how module upgrade is otherwise done. We do not want its presence
to hinder future development of code loading and upgrade.
|
|
As of ERTS version 5.9 (OTP-R15B) the runtime system will by default
not bind schedulers to logical processors.
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. In some cases
this performance penalty might be severe. Due to this, we change the
default so that the user must make an active decision in order to bind
schedulers.

Queues used for communication between async threads and scheduler threads
have been replaced with lock-free queues.
Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not automatically locked
to the system anymore, and can be unloaded as any dynamically linked in
driver.
Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved in between other
jobs. Previously all ready async jobs was performed at once.

A number of memory allocation optimizations have been implemented. Most
optimizations reduce contention caused by synchronization between
threads during allocation and deallocation of memory. Most notably:
* Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific allocator
instances has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization.
* Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific
pre-allocators has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization.
* The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use scheduler specific
instances instead of one instance. Apart from reducing contention
this also ensures that memory allocators always create memory
segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.

* bjorn/fun-improvements/OTP-9667:
sys_pre_expand: Remove incorrect comment
compiler: Eliminate use of deprecated erlang:hash/2
beam_asm: Fix broken NewIndex in fun entries
beam_asm: Strenghten the calculation of Uniq for funs
|
|
Funs are identified by a triple, <Module,Uniq,Index>, where Module is
the module name, Uniq is a 27 bit hash value of some intermediate
representation of the code for the fun, and index is a small integer.
When a fun is loaded, the triple for the fun will be compared to
previously loaded funs. If all elements in the triple in the newly
loaded fun are the same, the newly loaded fun will replace the previous
fun. The idea is that if Uniq are the same, the code for the fun is also
the same.
The problem is that Uniq is only based on the intermediate representation
of the fun itself. If the fun calls local functions in the same module,
Uniq may remain the same even if the behavior of the fun has been changed.
See
http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/2007-June/000368.htlm
for an example.
As a long-term plan to fix this problem, the NewIndex and NewUniq
fields was added to each fun in the R8 release (where NewUniq is the
MD5 of the BEAM code for the module). Unfortunately, it turns
out that the compiler does not assign unique value to NewIndex (if it
isn't tested, it doesn't work), so we cannot use the
<Module,NewUniq,NewIndex> triple as identification.
It would be possible to use <Module,NewUniq,Index>, but that seems
ugly. Therefore, fix the problem by making Uniq more unique by
taking 27 bits from the MD5 for the BEAM code. That only requires
a change to the compiler.
Also update a test case for cover, which now fails because of the
stronger Uniq calculation. (The comment in test case about why the
Pid2 process survived is not correct.)

Currently, the external fun syntax "fun M:F/A" only supports
literals. That is, "fun lists:reverse/1" is allowed but not
"fun M:F/A".
In many real-life situations, some or all of M, F, A are
not known until run-time, and one is forced to either use
the undocumented erlang:make_fun/3 BIF or to use a
"tuple fun" (which is deprecated).
EEP-23 suggests that the parser (erl_parse) should immediately
transform "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)". We have
not followed that approach in this implementation, because we
want the abstract code to mirror the source code as closely
as possible, and we also consider erlang:make_fun/3 to
be an implementation detail that we might want to remove in
the future.
Instead, we will change the abstract format for "fun M:F/A" (in a way
that is not backwards compatible), and while we are at it, we will
move the translation from "fun M:F/A" to "erlang:make_fun(M, F, A)"
from sys_pre_expand down to the v3_core pass. We will also update
the debugger and xref to use the new format.
We did consider making the abstract format backward compatible if
no variables were used in the fun, but decided against it. Keeping
it backward compatible would mean that there would be different
abstract formats for the no-variable and variable case, and tools
would have to handle both formats, probably forever.
