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.

2015-03-03Update 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). ```

2014-10-22Merge branch 'maint'Bruce Yinhe
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.
