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
2016-05-27erts: Split large binaries into multiple iovecLukas Larsson
On windows the max size of an iov element is long, i.e. 4GB so in order to write larger binaries to file we split the binary into smaller 2GB chunks so that the write is possible.
2016-05-11erts: Only allow remove from trace_status callbackLukas Larsson
Make it so that it is only possible to remove a tracer via returning remove from an erl_tracer. This limition is put in place in order to avoid a lot of lock checking and taking in various places, especially in regards to trace events happening on dirty schedulers.

2016-04-15erts: Don't trace on link events when port is deadLukas Larsson
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
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

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).
2016-02-02erts: Add microstate accountingLukas Larsson
Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which states the threads are in and then from there figuring out why and where to optimize. Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled through configure. I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent. If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark, the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on somewhere inbetween 5-15%. OTP-12345

2015-12-15erts: Fix forker driver ifdefs for win32Lukas Larsson
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

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.

2015-06-15erts: Optimize driver_deliver_termSverker Eriksson
Try write directly to process heap (as before) if the term is guaranteed not to contain any big maps that may break the initial size estimation.
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.
