2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
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.

2015-03-15Ensure NIF term creation disallows illegal valuesSteve Vinoski
Add a check to enif_make_double to see if its double argument is infinity or NaN, returning a badarg exception if it is. Change the erl_nif documentation to specify that enif_make_double returns a badarg exception if its double argument is either infinity or NaN. Add tests to nif_SUITE for this change. Add checks to the enif_make* functions for atoms to prevent the creation of atoms whose name lengths are greater than the allowed maximum atom length. The enif_make_atom and enif_make_atom_len functions now return a badarg exception if the input string is too long. The enif_make_existing_atom and enif_make_existing_atom_len functions return false if the input string is too long. Change the erl_nif documentation to reflect the changes to these functions. Add tests to nif_SUITE for these changes. Add a field to ErlNifEnv to track that a NIF has raised an exception via enif_make_badarg. If a NIF calls enif_make_badarg but then ignores its return value and instead tries to return a non-exception term as its return value, the runtime still raises a badarg. This is needed to prevent enif_make_badarg values resulting from calls to enif_make_double, enif_make_atom, or enif_make_atom_len from being erroneously stored within other terms and returned from a NIF. Calling enif_make_badarg but not returning its return value has been documented as being illegal ever since enif_make_badarg was added, but the runtime has not enforced it until now. Add tests for regular and dirty NIFs to ensure that calls to enif_make_badarg result in badarg exceptions even if a NIF fails to return the result of enif_make_badarg as its return value. Add documentation to enif_make_badarg to specify that calling it raises a badarg even if a NIF ignores its return value.

2015-03-03Update zlib:zwindowbits/0 type to accept 8 and -8Loïc Hoguin
Commit 7e8f5a776cbfa376e03369d058a90c8dd9f217fc (importing R11B-3) updated zlib, which had changed what values it accepts for window bits from 9-15 to 8-15. From deflate.c: - windowBits < 9 || windowBits > 15 || level < 0 || level > 9 || - strategy < 0 || strategy > Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY) { + windowBits < 8 || windowBits > 15 || level < 0 || level > 9 || + strategy < 0 || strategy > Z_FIXED) { return Z_STREAM_ERROR; } + if (windowBits == 8) windowBits = 9; /* until 256-byte window bug fixed */ In inflate.c 8 was already an accepted value. This commit updates OTP to also accept the values 8 and -8.
2015-02-12Add zlib limited output buffer size functionalityСергей Прохоров
This functionality may be useful for compressed streams with high compression ratio (in case of gzip it may be up to x1000), when small amount of compressed data will produce large amount of uncompressed output. This may lead to DoS attacks, because server easily goes out of memory. Example of such high compression ratio stream: ``` dd if=/dev/zero of=sparse.bin bs=1MB count=100 # 100mb of zeroes gzip sparse.bin # 95kb sparse.bin.gz $ erl > {ok, Compressed} = file:read_file("sparse.bin.gz"), > 97082 = size(Compressed), > Uncompressed = zlib:gunzip(Compressed), > 100000000 = iolist_size(Uncompressed). ```

2014-10-17Clarify the use of SIGUSR1 for forcing crash dumpsSteve Vinoski
The crash_dump document mentions indirectly that delivering a SIGUSR1 to a running emulator process can force it to crash dump. Clarify that text to make it clear SIGUSR1 can be used for that purpose, and also add a similar note about using SIGUSR1 to the erl documentation.
2014-10-17Clarify docs for driver_async() return valueSteve Vinoski
The documentation for driver_async() still referred to the return value of the function as a "handle", which is no longer meaningful since driver_async_cancel() was deprecated and removed. Modify the documentation to simply indicate that the driver_async() return value will be -1 if it fails.
