2016-06-08erts: Don't crash on maps on crash dumpsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
- Large Maps could cause a stack overrun during crash dump generation. - This is a simple workaround until a solution has been implemented. - The error has no impact on a running system.
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.

2016-02-15Ensure that work is done on the correct type of schedulersRickard Green
Only the actual call to the dirty nif is allowed to execute on dirty schedulers. The dirty nif is not allowed to execute on normal schedulers if dirty schedulers are available. Arrival of exit signals and system tasks, while a process was scheduled for execution on a dirty scheduler, could mess up the process internal state. Preparation for dirty system task has been made, but is currently unused.
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.

2014-12-19erts: Improve crash dumpsLukas Larsson
This commit improves crash dumps in several ways: * Suspends schedulers to get a current snapshot * Dumps information about scheduler * Dumps stack trace of current running process (including Garbing processes)
2013-10-30Fix truncated pointers in erl_crash.dumpBjörn Gustavsson
When dumping the heaps and stacks in the erl_crash.dump file, only the lower 32 bits of pointers would be printed. Ensure that all bits are printed. While at it, make sure that printing sub binaries with a debug compiled run-time system will work.

2010-03-10Add the BeamInstr data type for loaded BEAM codePatrik Nyblom
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.
2010-03-10Store pointers to heap data in 32-bit wordsPatrik Nyblom
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.
