2017-02-14erts: Add deallocation veto for magic destructorsSverker Eriksson
A magic destructor can return 0 and thereby take control and prolong the lifetime of a magic binary.

2017-02-06Use magic refs for NIF resourcesRickard Green
2017-02-06Implement magic referencesRickard Green
Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization. An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly. Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers, and BIF timer identifiers. Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty binaries to the Erlang software.

2016-10-12erts: Refactor find_function_from_pc to return MFALukas Larsson
2016-10-12erts: Refactor out func_info into structLukas Larsson
This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent erlang code in erts. ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that were previously used to point to these locations. After this change the code should never use BeamInstr * with offsets to figure out different parts of the func_info header. ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also in Process->current. All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr * to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo where appropriate. The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to make it work.

* maint: erts: Add nif_SUITE:t_on_load erts: Improve nif_SUITE:upgrade test Don't leak old code when loading a modules with an on_load function Conflicts: erts/preloaded/ebin/erts_code_purger.beam erts/preloaded/ebin/erts_internal.beam erts/preloaded/src/erts_code_purger.erl
2016-09-14Don't leak old code when loading a modules with an on_load functionBjörn Gustavsson
Normally, calling code:delete/1 before re-loading the code for a module is unnecessary but causes no problem. But there will be be problems if the new code has an on_load function. Code with an on_load function will always be loaded as old code to allowed it to be easily purged if the on_load function would fail. If the on_load function succeeds, the old and current code will be swapped. So in the scenario where code:delete/1 has been called explicitly, there is old code but no current code. Loading code with an on_load function will cause the reference to the old code to be overwritten. That will at best cause a memory leak, and at worst an emulator crash (especially if NIFs are involved). To avoid that situation, we will put the code with the on_load function in a special, third slot in Module. ERL-240
