2017-04-12erts: Introduce struct binary_internalsSverker Eriksson
to replace macro ERTS_INTERNAL_BINARY_FIELDS as header in Binary and friends.
2017-04-11erts: Init refc=1 in erts_bin_nrml_allocSverker Eriksson
Only term_to_binary needed some extra attention as it used to initialize refc as 0 instead of 1.
2017-03-08erts: Do not generate atoms on old latin1 external formatSverker Eriksson
term_to_binary will always generate utf8 atoms ATOM_UTF8_EXT and SMALL_ATOM_UTF8_EXT. Old latin1 atoms, ATOM_EXT and SMALL_ATOM_EXT, are still decoded.
2017-03-08erts: Fix faulty ASSERT for failed dec_termSverker Eriksson
when a recursive call to dec_term() has already done erts_factory_undo and set factory->hp to NULL.
2017-02-14erts: Add deallocation veto for magic destructorsSverker Eriksson
A magic destructor can return 0 and thereby take control and prolong the lifetime of a magic binary.
2017-02-06Add binary overhead for magic ref/binariesRickard Green
2017-02-06Use magic refs binary_to_term/term_to_binary trap contextRickard Green
2017-02-06Implement magic referencesRickard Green
Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization. An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly. Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers, and BIF timer identifiers. Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty binaries to the Erlang software.

2017-02-06Atomic reference count of binaries also in non-SMPRickard Green
NIF resources was not handled in a thread-safe manner in the runtime system without SMP support. As a consequence of this fix, the following driver functions are now thread-safe also in the runtime system without SMP support: - driver_free_binary() - driver_realloc_binary() - driver_binary_get_refc() - driver_binary_inc_refc() - driver_binary_dec_refc()

2017-01-23erts: Fix binary_to_term for compressed and zlib >= v1.2.9Sverker Eriksson
Problem: z_stream was incorrectly copied with memcpy which just happened to work with zlib < v1.2.9. Solution: Avoid copying z_stream.
2016-11-29erts: Use secret atom as sysname for ETS compressedSverker Eriksson

Conflicts: erts/emulator/beam/beam_bif_load.c erts/emulator/beam/beam_load.c and added macro DBG_TRACE_MFA_P in beam_load.h
2016-10-14hipe,erts: Remove cached fun 'native_address'Sverker Eriksson
Did not work with purge and made worse by new purge strategy. Did yield terrible performance when fun thing is created *before* fun code is loaded. Like when receiving not yet loaded fun from other node. The cached 'native_address' in ErlFunThing will not be updated leading to mode switch and error_handler being called for every call to the fun from native code.
2016-10-12erts: Refactor out func_info into structLukas Larsson
This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent erlang code in erts. ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that were previously used to point to these locations. After this change the code should never use BeamInstr * with offsets to figure out different parts of the func_info header. ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also in Process->current. All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr * to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo where appropriate. The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to make it work.
2016-06-15erts: Change local sysname for ETS compressedSverker Eriksson
Yes this is an ugly workaround. One approach for a better solution could be to introduce an internal secret atom tagged as an atom with a unique index, but impossible to find by string hash lookup/insert.
2016-04-29Merge branch 'sverk/big-external-creations.OTP-13488'Sverker Eriksson
second merge of this branch with some bug fixing
2016-04-15erts: Silence harmless valgrind warning in dec_termSverker Eriksson
provoked by nif_SUITE:nif_binary_to_term. If we fail to decode an immediate (unsafe atom for example) with a dummy factory then hp and factory->hp will both be uninitialized and valgrind will complain about comparing them.
2016-04-13erts: Fix decoding of pids, ports and refs with big creationsSverker Eriksson
Must skip 3 extra bytes after node name atom.

from future nodes.
2016-04-07erts: Refactor ETS compressed encoding of local nodeSverker Eriksson
Instead of INTERNAL_CREATION (255), use empty atom for node name to mean the local node (regardless of node name or creation). The purpose is to get rid of special value 255, for future expansion of creation to 32-bit.

2016-02-24erts: Change erl_exit into erts_exitSverker Eriksson
This is mostly a pure refactoring. Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT. Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, ) ------- ------------------- ------------------------------------------- exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0 crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0 The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have changed).

2015-11-20erts: Fix maps decode in erlang:binary_to_term/1Björn-Egil Dahlberg
Decoding a term with a large (HAMT) map in an small (FLAT) map could cause a critical error if the external format was not produced by beam.

2015-06-15erts: Remove hashmap probabilistic heap overestimationSverker Eriksson
by adding a dynamic heap factory. "binary_to_term" is now a hybrid solution with both a call to decoded_size() to calculate needed heap space AND possible dynamic allocation of more heap space if needed for big maps. The heap size returned from decoded_size() is guaranteed to be sufficient for all term heap data except for hashmap nodes. All hashmap nodes are created at the end of dec_term() by invoking the heap factory interface that may allocate more heap space on process heap or in fragments. With this commit it is no longer guaranteed that a message is confined to only one heap fragment.
2015-03-30erts: Refactor encode_size_struct_intSverker Eriksson
to handle the "start of list" case in one place and not seven. Note that this commit reverts (47d6fd3ccf35) back to using WSTACK and pushing raw pointers. We disable GC while yielding, so this should not be a problem.
