According to the source code, there is a space before the newline for unused nodes and no space before the newline for active ones. In current documentation, it is exactly opposite. This commit fixes the documentation to match with source code.

that uses its own super carrier (erts_exec_mmapper) to guarantee low addressed and executable memory (PROT_EXEC). Currently only used on x86_64 that needs low memory for HiPE/AMD64's small code model. By initializing erts_exec_mapper early we secure its low memory area before erts_literal_mmapper might steal it.

OTP-13497 This trace event is triggered when a process is created from the process that is created.
2016-04-15erts: Add tracing examples in match spec docsLukas Larsson
2016-04-15erts: Extend process and port tracingLukas Larsson
This commit completes the tracing for processes so that all messages sent by a process (via nifs or otherwise) will be traced. The commit also adds tracing of all types of events from ports. When enabling tracing using erlang:trace, the 'all' flag now also enables tracing on all ports. OTP-13496
2016-04-15erts: Implement tracer modulesLukas Larsson
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. OTP-10267

This is an optimization for reducing the number of heap fragments allocated when sending a message where the majority of the message payload is on the sending process' heap.

* rickard/ds-sched-suspend: Improved scheduler suspend functionality
2016-03-10Improved scheduler suspend functionalityRickard Green
- The calling process is now suspended while synchronizing scheduler suspends via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) and erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, _), instead of blocking the scheduler thread in the BIF call waiting for the operation to synchronize. Besides releasing the scheduler for other work (or immediate suspend) it also makes it possible to abort the operation by killing the process. - erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) now only wait for normal schedulers to complete before it returns. This since it may take a very long time before all dirty schedulers suspends. - erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block_normal|unblock_normal) which only operate on normal schedulers has been introduced. This since there are use cases where suspend of dirty schedulers are not of interest (hipe loader). - erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block) still blocks all dirty schedulers as well as all normal schedulers except one since it is hard to redefine what multi scheduling block means. - The three operations: - changing amount of schedulers online - blocking/unblocking normal multi scheduling - blocking/unblocking full multi scheduling can now be done in parallel. This is important since otherwise a full multi scheduling block would potentially delay the other operations for a very long time.

Just mask away the high bits to get a more tolerant erlang:halt that behaves the same on 32 and 64 bit architectures.

Except it cannot be disabled and cannot be multi-threaded. The bit-vector 'erts_literal_vspace_map' on 32-bit is currently only protected by the literal allocator mutex. We could allow multiple instances on 64-bit (I think), but what would be the point?
2016-02-10epmd: support IPv6 node registrationMichael Santos
Allow IPv6 nodes to register with and query epmd. On systems with IPv6 support: * epmd listens on both the IPv4 and IPv6 ANY or loopback sockets * the epmd cli client connects to epmd over the IPv6 loopback * distributed nodes started with "-proto_dist inet6_tcp" will register with epmd over IPv6 To work on IPv6 capable systems that have IPv6 support disabled, epmd ignores errors opening the socket if the protocol is not supported. Similarly, the epmd client will fall back to IPv4 if the IPv6 socket is not available. Update the minimum supported version of Windows to Windows Vista to support IPv6.
