2015-05-26Add enif_raise_exceptionSteve Vinoski
Add enif_raise_exception function to allow NIFs to raise error exceptions holding any Erlang terms. This does not replace or deprecate the enif_make_badarg function, though, because raising badarg errors is so idiomatic in NIFs. Reimplement enif_make_badarg on top of enif_raise_exception. Add new tests for enif_raise_exception for both normal and dirty NIFs. Add documentation for enif_raise_exception.
2015-05-26Enhance enif_has_pending_exceptionSteve Vinoski
Sverker Eriksson came up with the following idea: to handle a future ability for NIFs to raise more than just badarg exceptions, modify the recently-added enif_has_pending_exception function to take a second argument: a pointer to ERL_NIF_TERM. If this argument is a null pointer, ignore it. Otherwise, if the first argument, an ErlNifEnv*, has an associated exception, set the pointed-to ERL_NIF_TERM of the second argument to the value of the exception term. Add new tests and documentation for this modification.
2015-05-26Fix for enif_schedule_nif and exceptionsSteve Vinoski
Fix a place where part of the implementation of enif_schedule_nif was not using the ErlNifEnv exception_thrown field when it should have been. Also make the result of enif_schedule_nif return false when passed to enif_is_exception, and add an assertion for this to the nif_SUITE.c tests.

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.

that could invalidate a pointer received from an earlier call to enif_inspect_binary. Solution: Emasculate writable binary at enif_inspect_binary. There are room for optimizations here as we now do an unconditional emasculation even though enif_make_copy is not called later in the NIF.
2014-08-28add enif_schedule_nif() to NIF APISteve Vinoski
In the #erlang IRC channel Anthony Ramine once mentioned the idea of allowing a NIF to use an emulator trap, similar to a BIF trap, to schedule another NIF for execution. This is exactly how dirty NIFs were implemented for Erlang/OTP 17.0, so this commit refactors and generalizes that dirty NIF code to support a new enif_schedule_nif() API function. The enif_schedule_nif() function allows a long-running NIF to be broken into separate NIF invocations. The NIF first executes part of the long-running task, then calls enif_schedule_nif() to schedule a NIF for later execution to continue the task. Any number of NIFs can be scheduled in this manner, one after another. Since the emulator regains control between invocations, this helps avoid problems caused by native code tying up scheduler threads for too long. The enif_schedule_nif() function also replaces the original experimental dirty NIF API. The function takes a flags parameter that a caller can use to indicate the NIF should be scheduled onto either a dirty CPU scheduler thread, a dirty I/O scheduler thread, or scheduled as a regular NIF on a regular scheduler thread. With this change, the original experimental enif_schedule_dirty_nif(), enif_schedule_dirty_nif_finalizer() and enif_dirty_nif_finalizer() API functions are no longer needed and have been removed. Explicit scheduling of a dirty NIF finalization function is no longer necessary; if an application wants similar functionality, it can have a dirty NIF just invoke enif_schedule_nif() to schedule a non-dirty NIF to complete its task. Lift the restriction that dirty NIFs can't call enif_make_badarg() to raise an exception. This was a problem with the original dirty NIF API because it forced developers to get and check all incoming arguments in a regular NIF, and then schedule the dirty NIF which then had to get all the arguments again. Now, the argument checking can be done in the dirty NIF and it can call enif_make_badarg() itself to flag incorrect arguments. Extend the ErlNifFunc struct with a new flags field that allows NIFs to be declared as dirty. The default value for this field is 0, indicating a regular NIF, so it's backwards compatible with all existing statically initialized ErlNifFunc struct instances, and so such instances require no code changes. Defining the flags field with a value of ERL_NIF_DIRTY_JOB_CPU_BOUND indicates that the NIF should execute on a dirty CPU scheduler thread, or defining it with a value of ERL_NIF_DIRTY_JOB_IO_BOUND indicates that the NIF should execute on a dirty I/O scheduler thread. Any other flags field value causes a NIF library loading error. Extend the ErlNifEntry struct with a new options field that indicates whether a NIF library was built with support for optional features such as dirty NIFs. When a NIF library is loaded, the runtime checks the options field to ensure compatibility. If a NIF library built with dirty NIF support is loaded into a runtime that does not support dirty NIFs, and the library defines one or more ErlNifFunc entries with non-zero flags fields indicating dirty NIFs, a NIF library loading error results. There is no error if a NIF library built with dirty NIF support is loaded into a runtime that does not support dirty NIFs but the library does not have any dirty NIFs. It is also not an error if a library without dirty NIF support is loaded into a runtime built with dirty NIF support. Add documentation and tests for enif_schedule_nif().

2014-03-28fix dirty NIF invalid memory readSteve Vinoski
Dirty NIF support used an Export structure to facilitate calls to dirty NIFs and finalizers, but Export isn't large enough to hold all necessary data. This was causing an invalid memory read in beam_emu.c past the end of the Export object. Add a local extended Export struct to erl_nif.c that can hold all the necessary data.

* vinoski/ds2: further enhancements for dirty schedulers allow optional whitespace in dirty scheduler erl options
2014-02-24further enhancements for dirty schedulersSteve Vinoski
Add support for setting the number of dirty CPU schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Assuming the emulator is built with dirty schedulers enabled, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online may not be less than 1, nor greater than the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, nor greater than the number of normal schedulers online. Dirty CPU scheduler threads that are taken offline via system_flag/2 are suspended. The number of dirty CPU schedulers online may be adjusted independently of the number of normal schedulers online, but if system_flag/2 is used to set the number of normal schedulers online to a value less than the current number of normal schedulers online, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is decreased proportionally. Likewise, if the number of normal schedulers online is increased, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is increased proportionally. For example, if 8 normal schedulers and 4 dirty CPU schedulers are online, and system_flag/2 is called to set the number of normal schedulers online to 4, the number of dirty CPU schedulers online is also decreased by half, to 2. Subsequently setting the number of normal schedulers online back to 8 also sets the number of dirty CPU schedulers online back to 4. Augment the system_flag/2 documentation in the erlang man page to explain this relationship between schedulers_online and dirty_cpu_schedulers_online. Also ensure that all dirty CPU and I/O schedulers are suspended when multi-scheduling is blocked via system_flag/2, and brought back online when multi-scheduling is unblocked. Add Rickard Green's rewritten check_enqueue_in_prio_queue() function that inspects process state more thoroughly to determine if to enqueue it and if so on what queue, including dirty queues when appropriate. Make sure dirty NIF jobs do not trigger erlang:system_monitor long_schedule messages. Add more dirty scheduler testing to the scheduler test suite. Remove the erts_no_dirty_cpu_schedulers_online global variable, since it's no longer needed. Execute dirty NIFs on a normal scheduler thread while multi-scheduling blocking is in effect. Evacuate any dirty jobs residing in the dirty run queues over to a normal run queue when multi-scheduling is blocked. Allow dirty schedulers to execute aux work. Set the dirty run queues halt_in_progress flag when halting the normal schedulers. Change dirty scheduler numbers to a structure including both scheduler number and type, either dirty CPU or dirty I/O. Add some assertions to ensure that dirty CPU schedulers operate only on dirty CPU scheduler process flags, and the same for dirty I/O schedulers.
