Not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS will now terminate beam
immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump file.
Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to 0 will also terminate beam
immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump file, i.e. same as not
setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS environment variable.
Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a negative value will let the beam wait
indefinitely on the crash dump file being written.
Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a positive value will let the beam wait
that many seconds on the crash dump file being written.
A positive value will set both an alarm in beam AND a heart timeout for restart
if heart is running.
This is due to the change of 'heart' behavior when 'heart' is
listening for a crash.

Putenv and getenv needs to convert to the proper environment
strings in Unicode depending on platform and user settings for filename
encoding. Also erlexec needs to pass environment strings in an appropriate
way for kernel to pick up. All environment strings on the command
line, as well as home directory, is now passed in UTF8 on windows
and in whatever encoding you have on Unix, kernel tries to convert all
parameters and environments from UTF8 before making strings.

- Document barrier semantics
- Introduce ddrb suffix on atomic ops
- Barrier macros for both non-SMP and SMP case
- Make the thread progress API a bit more intuitive

Removed symbolic links from repository.

* rickard/thr-progress-block/OTP-9631:
Replace system block with thread progress block
|
|
The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by
new functionality for blocking the system. The old system block
functionality had contention issues and complexity issues. The
new functionality piggy-backs on thread progress tracking functionality
needed by newly introduced lock-free synchronization in the runtime
system. When the functionality for blocking the system isn't used
there is more or less no overhead at all. This since the functionality
for tracking thread progress is there and needed anyway.

As a preparation for changing the calling convention for
BIFs, make sure that all BIFs use the macros. Also, eliminate
all calls from one BIF to another, since that also breaks
the calling convention abstraction.

|
All uses of the old deprecated atomic API in the runtime system
have been replaced with the use of the new atomic API. In a lot of
places this change imply a relaxation of memory barriers used.

Existing %bp to print pointer size integers does not work in halfword
emulator to print Eterm size integers.

Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into
one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per
ETS object.

New NIF features:
Send messages from a NIF, or from thread created by NIF, to any local
process (enif_send)
Store terms between NIF calls (enif_alloc_env, enif_make_copy)
Create binary terms with user defined memory management
(enif_make_resource_binary)

The value for "OldHeap unused" in the output of
erlang:system_info(procs) and in crash dumps, was incorrectly
calculated as the size of the entire old heap.

* pan/otp_8332_halfword:
Teach testcase in driver_suite the new prototype for driver_async
wx: Correct usage of driver callbacks from wx thread
Adopt the new (R13B04) Nif functionality to the halfword codebase
Support monitoring and demonitoring from driver threads
Fix further test-suite problems
Correct the VM to work for more test suites
Teach {wordsize,internal|external} to system_info/1
Make tracing and distribution work
Turn on instruction packing in the loader and virtual machine
Add the BeamInstr data type for loaded BEAM code
Fix the BEAM dissambler for the half-word emulator
Store pointers to heap data in 32-bit words
Add a custom mmap wrapper to force heaps into the lower address range
Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address range
|

For cleanliness, use BeamInstr instead of the UWord
data type to any machine-sized words that are used
for BEAM instructions. Only use UWord for untyped
words in general.

Store Erlang terms in 32-bit entities on the heap, expanding the
pointers to 64-bit when needed. This works because all terms are stored
on addresses in the 32-bit address range (the 32 most significant bits
of pointers to term data are always 0).
Introduce a new datatype called UWord (along with its companion SWord),
which is an integer having the exact same size as the machine word
(a void *), but might be larger than Eterm/Uint.
Store code as machine words, as the instructions are pointers to
executable code which might reside outside the 32-bit address range.
Continuation pointers are stored on the 32-bit stack and hence must
point to addresses in the low range, which means that loaded beam code
much be placed in the low 32-bit address range (but, as said earlier,
the instructions themselves are full words).
No Erlang term data can be stored on C stacks (enforced by an
earlier commit).
This version gives a prompt, but test cases still fail (and dump core).
The loader (and emulator loop) has instruction packing disabled.
The main issues has been in rewriting loader and actual virtual
machine. Subsystems (like distribution) does not work yet.

NIF function prototypes in order to allow more than 3 function
arguments. Also an incompatible change in the return value of
erlang:load_nif/2. Added support for references, floats and term
comparison in NIFs. Read more in the documentation of erl_nif and
erlang:load_nif/2.
