2016-11-17erts: Fix all -Wundef errorsSverker Eriksson
2016-11-17erts: Refactor crash dumping with cbprintfSverker Eriksson
Instead of passing around a file descriptor use a function pointer to facilitate more advanced backend write logic such as size limitation or compression.
2016-06-10erts: Add port monitorsDmytro Lytovchenko
* erlang:monitor/2 with port argument is added, erlang:demonitor, using port task API and avoiding locking; * port_info and process_info support for monitored ports (with named port monitors support); * Exit signals contain type 'process' or 'port'; * Propagation of port exit signals; * Self-cleaning when origin process dies with monitor on; * 8 test cases + testcase for port driver crashing; * Documentation for all of the above (monitor, demonitor, port_info and process_info) updated
2016-05-11Add better support for communication with a process executing dirty NIFRickard Green
- Termination of a process... - Modify trace flags of process... - Process info on process... - Register/unregister of name on process... - Set group leader on process... ... while it is executing a dirty NIF.
2016-04-15erts: Extend process and port tracingLukas Larsson
This commit completes the tracing for processes so that all messages sent by a process (via nifs or otherwise) will be traced. The commit also adds tracing of all types of events from ports. When enabling tracing using erlang:trace, the 'all' flag now also enables tracing on all ports. OTP-13496

2015-12-15erts: Create forker process for spawn driverLukas Larsson
Instead of forking from the beam process, we create a separate process in which all forks are done. This has several advantages: 1) performance: * don't have to close all fd's in the world * fork only has to copy stuff from a small process * work is done in a completely seperate process * a 3x performance increase has been measured, can be made even greater (10x) if we cache the environment in child setup 2) stability * the exec is done in another process than beam, which means that if the file that we exec to is on an nfs that is not available right now we will not block a scheduler until the nfs returns. 3) simplicity * don't have to deal with SIGCHLD in the erts Unfortunately, this solution also implies some badness. 1) There will always be a seperate process running together with beam on unix. This could be confusing and undesirable. 2) We have to transfer the entire environment to child_setup for each command. OTP-13088
