2017-07-17erts: Replace usage of all erts_smp prefixes to just ertsLukas Larsson
2017-07-17erts: Remove ERTS_SMP and USE_THREAD definesLukas Larsson
This refactor was done using the unifdef tool like this: for file in $(find erts/ -name *.[ch]); do unifdef -t -f defile -o $file $file; done where defile contained: #define ERTS_SMP 1 #define USE_THREADS 1 #define DDLL_SMP 1 #define ERTS_HAVE_SMP_EMU 1 #define SMP 1 #define ERL_BITS_REENTRANT 1 #define ERTS_USE_ASYNC_READY_Q 1 #define FDBLOCK 1 #undef ERTS_POLL_NEED_ASYNC_INTERRUPT_SUPPORT #define ERTS_POLL_ASYNC_INTERRUPT_SUPPORT 0 #define ERTS_POLL_USE_WAKEUP_PIPE 1 #define ERTS_POLL_USE_UPDATE_REQUESTS_QUEUE 1 #undef ERTS_HAVE_PLAIN_EMU #undef ERTS_SIGNAL_STATE

2016-04-15erts: Implement tracer modulesLukas Larsson
Add the possibility to use modules as trace data receivers. The functions in the module have to be nifs as otherwise complex trace probes will be very hard to handle (complex means trace probes for ports for example). This commit changes the way that the ptab->tracer field works from always being an immediate, to now be NIL if no tracer is present or else be the tuple {TracerModule, TracerState} where TracerModule is an atom that is later used to lookup the appropriate tracer callbacks to call and TracerState is just passed to the tracer callback. The default process and port tracers have been rewritten to use the new API. This commit also changes the order which trace messages are delivered to the potential tracer process. Any enif_send done in a tracer module may be delayed indefinitely because of lock order issues. If a message is delayed any other trace message send from that process is also delayed so that order is preserved for each traced entity. This means that for some trace events (i.e. send/receive) the events may come in an unintuitive order (receive before send) to the trace receiver. Timestamps are taken when the trace message is generated so trace messages from differented processes may arrive with the timestamp out of order. Both the erlang:trace and seq_trace:set_system_tracer accept the new tracer module tracers and also the backwards compatible arguments. OTP-10267

2013-08-07erts: Fix race in ptab that can cause PID mix-upsSverker Eriksson
Since: R16B01 Symptom: A spawned process may get the same PID as an existing process. The new process will "steal" the PID and make the old process unreachable through the PID. The problem also applies to port identities but has only been seen for processes. Conditions: SMP emulator with at least two scheduler threads. Rapid spawning and termination of a large number of processes. A small number of free slots in the process table will also increase the risk for this bug. Workaround: Use command line options "+P legacy" and "+Q legacy" Cause: The race happens if a process terminates and gets stalled while releasing its process table slot. The stall has to be so long (due to OS preemptive scheduling most probably) for other schedluer threads to consume all other free slots for newly spawn processes. Fix: Write invalid-markers in the free-pid-table and do atomic exhange operations in retry-loops to make sure each thread gets a unique PID.
