epoll on Linux has been seen to sometimes trigger unexpected
events. Most of the time these events are filtered by erl_check_io,
but may slip up to the driver in cases when fd's are reused.
Also made clear in driver docs that spurious events may happen.

This is useful when a project is built with Makefiles and erlc(1)
instead of EMakefiles. Tracking dependencies by hand is error-prone and
it becomes painful when using external application headers like EUnit's
one.
A dependencies Makefile will look like this:
module.beam: module.erl \
/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/eunit-2.1.4/include/eunit.hrl \
header.hrl
When included in the main Makefile, 'module' will be recompiled only
when needed.
GCC offers the same feature and new erlc(1) options are compatible with
it.

Clarify that specifying "-noinput" is unnecessary if the "-detached"
flag is given.

enif_realloc_binary return int
enif_alloc/enif_free does not accept env as first argument.
enif_send return int
enif_self in alphabetic order

The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format
(term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself
and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate
non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one
extra word for "alloc_size").

Be less eager to set dist entry in busy state
|
|
* sverker/doc-fixes/OTP-8880:
Documentation update to ETS and drivers
|
|
The runtime system is now less eager to suspend
processes sending messages over the distribution. The
default value of the distribution buffer busy limit
has also been increased from 128 KB to 1 MB. This in
order to improve throughput.

|
* sf/erts_de_busy_limit:
Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limit
|
|
Id: OTP-8912
This patch creates a new family of flags with the "+z" prefix. It
further creates a new configuration option called "dbbl" (which is the
first letter of the name dist_buf_busy_limit). Example usage of this
flag would be "+zdbbl 1048576".
This patch creates an adjustable buffer limit for the amount of data
that may be buffered by the erlang distribution code (in dist.c
specifically). Before this patch, this hard-coded constant was used:
#define ERTS_DE_BUSY_LIMIT (128*1024)
When large binaries are transmitted between nodes (or simply a lot of
medium-sized binaries), it is very easy to hit the old 128KB limit.
Processes that use the erlang:system_monitor() BIF to monitor system
events can be spammed by {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} message tuples
at rates of tens to even hundreds of messages/second.
A larger buffer limit will allow processes to buffer more outgoing
messages over the distribution. When the buffer limit has been
reached, sending processes will be suspended until the buffer size has
shrunk. The buffer limit is per distribution channel. A higher limit
will give lower latency and higher throughput at the expense of
higher memory usage.
A variation of this patch has been in commercial production use in at
least two companies that the author is aware of. Larger buffer values
can reduce the number of {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} system
messages drastically, lower overall messaging latencies, and prevent
false timeouts and 'nodedown' messages in extremely busy Mnesia systems.
Test suite: there are two tests:
a. In erlexec_SUITE.erl to test basic set & get of the value
b. In distribution_SUITE.erl, to verify that setting +zdbbl very
low will actually change behavior.

State more clearly that ETS functions will throw badarg if calling
process lacks access right. And that driver stop callback should free
memory allocted by start.

Linkify applications listed under "See Also"
Fix minor typos in the documentation
|
|
semanticts -> semantics
where -> were
ddl -> dll
NIF's -> NIFs
OS-dependant -> OS-dependent
|
|
|
|
Also made the SEEALSO link at the bottom of erl_nif.xml more "erlangish".
|
|
The scheduler wakeup threshold is now possible to adjust at system boot.
For more information see the `+swt' command line argument of `erl'.
|
|
Added erlang:system_info(build_type) which makes it
easier to chose drivers, NIF libraries, etc based
on build type of the runtime system.

* rickard/cpu-info/OTP-8765:
Initialize environment functionality after thread lib
Fix faulty assertions
Implement automatic detection of CPU topology on Windows
Make it possible to reread and update detected CPU information
|
|
The CPU topology is now automatically detected on Windows
systems with less than 33 logical processors. The runtime system
will now, also on Windows, by default bind schedulers to logical
processors using the 'default_bind' bind type if the amount of
schedulers is at least equal to the amount of logical processors
configured, binding of schedulers is supported, and a CPU topology
is available at startup.

* bjorn/remove-elib_malloc/OTP-8764:
erts: Remove broken elib_malloc
erts: Remove the unused mem_drv driver
erts: Remove stray pre-ISO-C compatibility macros
erts: Remove unused decl.h
|
|
* hb/type_reference/OTP-8733:
reference() substituted for ref() in docs
|
|
Calling erlang:system_info/1 with the new argument 'update_cpu_info'
will make the runtime system reread and update the internally stored
CPU information. For more information see the documentation of
erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info).
|
|
elib_malloc is an alternate memory allocator that
is no longer possible to build.

* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544:
Rewrite ethread library
|
|
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The
ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable
thread library used by the runtime system itself.
Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock
implementation which dramatically improve the performance of
read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by
avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader
optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous
rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked
frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the
`{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the
documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information.
The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library
for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the
Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations
on more platforms than before. Use the
`--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument
when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is
located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/
The changed API of the ethread library has also caused
modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for
the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done
since it depends on the ethread library.
Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use
instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If
you want the runtime system to be compatible with older
processors (back to 486) you need to pass the
`--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command
line argument when configuring the system.
