2011-09-08Merge branch 'fm/enif_compare-64-to-32bits-cast' into devHenrik Nord
* fm/enif_compare-64-to-32bits-cast: Fix enif_compare on 64bits machines OTP-9533
2011-09-02Fix enif_compare on 64bits machinesFilipe David Manana
In 64bits machines the Sint type has a size of 8 bytes, while on 32bits machines it has a 4 bytes size. enif_compare was ignoring this and therefore returning incorrect values when the result of the CMP function (which returns a Sint value) doesn't fit in 4 bytes. For example, passing the operands -1294536544000 and -1178704800000 to enif_compare would trigger the bug.
2011-08-27Add erlang:external_size/2 BIFFilipe David Manana
This BIF's second parameter is a list of options. Currently the only allowed option is {minor_version, Version} where version is either 0 (default) or 1.
2011-08-25Add erlang:check_old_code/1Björn Gustavsson
Add erlang:check_old_code/1 to quickly check whether a module has old code. If there is no old code, there is no need to call erlang:check_process_code/2 for all processes, which will save some time if there are many processes.
2011-08-25check_process_code/2: Quickly return 'false' if there is no old codeBjörn Gustavsson
There is no need to suspend the process if the module has no old code. Measurements show that this change will make erlang:check_process_code/2 in an SMP emulator about four times faster if the module has no old code.
2011-08-24Merge branch 'rc/r14-gc-fix' into devHenrik Nord
* rc/r14-gc-fix: fix 64-bit issues in the garbage collection OTP-9488
2011-08-15fix 64-bit issues in the garbage collectionRichard Carlsson
We discovered that if a single Erlang process tried to grow above 32 GB (i.e., more 64-bit words than can be counted by a 32-bit number), the VM failed to find the next larger heap size, even though there were plenty more heap sizes left to pick from and even though we had a lot more memory available on the machine. (Obviously, this is only applicable on 64-bit Erlang.) It turned out to be due to some 'int' variables in the heap resizing parts of erl_gc.c not being properly updated to 'Uint' or 'Sint'. Once that was fixed, I got segfaults instead as soon as the heap got larger than 2^32 words, due to even more 'int' declarations in the same file, but now in the GC code. After fixing this as well, I successfully ran an Erlang node in which a single Erlang process had a heap so large that I'm not at liberty to divulge the exact size, but I think the scientific term is "humongous", and I'm confident that there are no further immediate problems with very very large individual process heaps.
2011-08-03Fix binary construction with huge literal sizesBjörn Gustavsson
Constructing binaries using the bit syntax with literals sizes that would not fit in an Uint will either cause an emulator crash or the loading to be aborted. Use the new TAG_o tag introduced in the previous commit to make sure that the attempt to create huge binary literals will generate a system_limit exception at run-time.
2011-08-03beam_load.c: Add overflow check of tag valuesBjörn Gustavsson
The handling of large values for other tags than TAG_i (integer) is buggy. Any tag value equal to or greater than 2^40 (5 bytes) will abort loading. Tag values fitting in 5 bytes will be truncated to 4 bytes values. Those bugs cause real problems because the bs_init2/6 and bs_init_bits/6 instructions unfortunately use TAG_u to encode literal sizes (using TAG_i would have been a better choice, but it is too late to change that now). Any binary size that cannot fit in an Uint should cause a system_limit exception at run-time, but instead the buggy handling will either cause an emulator crash (for values in the range 2^32 to 2^40-1) or abort loading. In this commit, implement overflow checking of tag values as a preparation for fixing the binary construction instructions. If any tag value cannot fit in an Uint (except for TAG_i), change the tag to the special TAG_o overflow tag.
2011-08-03Fix construction of <<0:((1 bsl 32)-1)>>Björn Gustavsson
Attempting to construct <<0:((1 bsl 32)-1)>>, the largest bitstring allowed in a 32 bit emulator, would cause an emulator crash because of integer overflow. Fix the problem by using an Uint64 to avoid integer overflow. Do not attempt to handle construction of <<0:((1 bsl 64)-1>> in a 64-bit emulator, because that will certainly cause the emulator to terminate anyway because of insufficient memory.

* sverker/ets_delete-deadlock-race/OTP-9423: Fix bug in ets:delete for write_concurrency that could lead to deadlock
2011-07-08Use separate memory carriers for small blocksRickard Green
2011-07-07Fix a match-spec trace bug that could cause emulator crashSverker Eriksson
A trace matchspec with 'enable_trace' or 'disable_trace' in body could cause an emulator crash if a concurrent process altered the trace setting of the traced function by calling erlang:trace_pattern. The effect was a deallocation of the binary holding the matchspec program while it was running. Fixed by increasing reference count of ms-binary in the cases when 'enable_trace' or 'disable_trace' may cause a system block that may alter the ongoing trace. The paradox here is that db_prog_match() is using erts_smp_block_system() to do 'enable_trace' and 'disable_trace' in a safe (atomic) way. But that also have the (non-atomic) effect that racing thread might block the system and change the trace settings with erlang:trace_pattern.
2011-07-07Fix bug in ets:delete for write_concurrency that could lead to deadlockSverker Eriksson
Relocking in ets_delete_1() and remove_named_tab() was done by unlocking the table without clearing the is_thread_safe flag. A racing thread could then read-lock the table and then incorrectly write-unlock the table as db_unlock() looked at is_thread_safe to determine which kind of lock to unlock. Several fixes: 1. Make db_unlock() use argument 'kind' instead of is_thread_safe to determine lock type. 2. Make relock logic use db_lock() and db_unlock() instead of directly accessing lock primitives. 3. Do ownership transfer earlier in ets_delete_1 to avoid racing owner process to also start deleting the same table.

The bug was creating an invalid bignum instead of a small integer, causing strange comparing behavior (=:= failed but == succeeded).
