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

* rickard/ohmq-fixup/OTP-13047: Replace off_heap_message_queue option with message_queue_data option Always use literal_alloc Distinguish between GC disabled by BIFs and other disabled GC Fix process_info(_, off_heap_message_queue) Off heap message queue test suite Remove unused variable Fix memory leaks
2015-12-08Replace off_heap_message_queue option with message_queue_data optionRickard Green
The message_queue_data option can have the values - off_heap - on_heap - mixed
2015-12-08Distinguish between GC disabled by BIFs and other disabled GCRickard Green
Processes remember heap fragments that are known to be fully live due to creation in a just called BIF that yields in the live_hf_end field. This field must not be used if we have not disabled GC in a BIF. F_DELAY_GC has been introduced in order to distinguish between to two different scenarios. - F_DISABLE_GC should *only* be used by BIFs. This when the BIF needs to yield while preventig a GC. - F_DELAY_GC should only be used when GC is temporarily disabled while the process is scheduled. A process must not be scheduled out while F_DELAY_GC is set.

2015-11-12Fragmented young heap generation and off_heap_message_queue optionRickard Green
* The youngest generation of the heap can now consist of multiple blocks. Heap fragments and message fragments are added to the youngest generation when needed without triggering a GC. After a GC the youngest generation is contained in one single block. * The off_heap_message_queue process flag has been added. When enabled all message data in the queue is kept off heap. When a message is selected from the queue, the message fragment (or heap fragment) containing the actual message is attached to the youngest generation. Messages stored off heap is not part of GC.

* rickard/event-tmo/OTP-12954: Fix ethread events with timeout
2015-08-27Fix ethread events with timeoutRickard Green
Lots of pthread platforms unnecessarily falled back on the pipe/select solution. This since we tried to use the same monotonic clock source for pthread_cond_timedwait() as used by OS monotonic time. This has been fixed on most platforms by using another clock source. Darwin can however not use pthread_cond_timedwait() with monotonic clock source and has to use the pipe/select solution. On darwin we now use select with _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT in order to be able to handle a large amount of file descriptors.

* sverk/smp-trace-port-exit-bug/OTP-12901: Teach smp VM how to deal with crash of a linked trace port
2015-08-10Teach smp VM how to deal with crash of a linked trace portSverker Eriksson
Problem: The sys-msg-dispather crashes the VM when trying to send exit signals from the links of the terminating trace port. If try-lock of the linked process fails, a pending exit is scheduled and erts_scheduler_data() is then called to find "my" run queue. But sys-msg-dispatcher is not a scheduler and has no scheduler data, hence SEGV. Fix: If not a scheduler and we cannot get process locks, schedule process in its previous run-queue.
