2017-11-30Remove all mention of efile_drv from DTrace docsJohn Högberg
efile_drv is gone and so is the need for file-specific DTrace. The new implementation works fine with the normal tracing mechanism so there's nothing preventing anyone from making an erl_tracer nif that forward these events to DTrace.
2017-11-30Reimplement efile_drv as a dirty NIFJohn Högberg
This improves the latency of file operations as dirty schedulers are a bit more eager to run jobs than async threads, and use a single global queue rather than per-thread queues, eliminating the risk of a job stalling behind a long-running job on the same thread while other async threads sit idle. There's no such thing as a free lunch though; the lowered latency comes at the cost of increased busy-waiting which may have an adverse effect on some applications. This behavior can be tweaked with the +sbwt flag, but unfortunately it affects all types of schedulers and not just dirty ones. We plan to add type-specific flags at a later stage. sendfile has been moved to inet_drv to lessen the effect of a nasty race; the cooperation between inet_drv and efile has never been airtight and the socket dying at the wrong time (Regardless of reason) could result in fd aliasing. Moving it to the inet driver makes it impossible to trigger this by closing the socket in the middle of a sendfile operation, while still allowing it to be aborted -- something that can't be done if it stays in the file driver. The race still occurs if the controlling process dies in the short window between dispatching the sendfile operation and the dup(2) call in the driver, but it's much less likely to happen now. A proper fix is in the works. -- Notable functional differences: * The use_threads option for file:sendfile/5 no longer has any effect. * The file-specific DTrace probes have been removed. The same effect can be achieved with normal tracing together with the nif__entry/nif__return probes to track scheduling. -- OTP-14256
2017-11-30Change resource_monitors' lock orderJohn Högberg
If a NIF monitor fired while the resource was present in an ETS table, the lock checker would erroneously report a lock order violation. This has no effect outside of debug builds.

2017-11-24Fix purging of modules with "fake literals"Björn Gustavsson
When compiling Erlang source code, the literal area for the module can only contain data types that have a literal syntax. However, it is possible to sneak in other data types (such as references) in the literal pool by compiling from abstract or assembly code. Those "fake literals" would work fine, but would crash the runtime system when the module containing the literals was purged. Although fake literals are not officially supported, the runtime should not crash when attempting to use them. Therefore, fix the garbage collection of literals and releasing of literal areas. https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-508

2017-11-23erts: Fix erlang:monitor toward c-nodesSverker Eriksson
by suppressing DOP_MONITOR_P, DOP_MONITOR_P_EXIT and DOP_DEMONITOR_P if not supported by the remote node. In 17e198d6ee60f7dec9abfed272cf4226aea44535 I changed the behavior of erlang:monitor to not raise badarg for c-nodes but instead create a monitor to only supervise the connection. But I forgot to prevent DOP_MONITOR_P and friends from being sent to the node that does not expect them. Note: We test both DFLAG_DIST_MONITOR and DFLAG_DIST_MONITOR_NAME for the node to support process monitoring. This is because erl_interface is buggy as it sets DFLAG_DIST_MONITOR without really supporting it. ToDo: Should erl_interface stop setting DFLAG_DIST_MONITOR or should we change the meaning of these flags?

2017-11-20Fix max atom size overflow on 64-bits Erlang by lowering theBoshan Sun
MAX_ATOM_TABLE_SIZE Currently, the max atom size on 64-bits Erlang is ((UWORD_CONSTANT(1) << 32) = 4294967296 This number will cause the range of atom size to be displayed as [8192-0]. Also, the +t option for max atom size will be parsed as a long type, and assigned to a int variable erts_atom_table_size (erl_init.c), which will cause integer overflow if the number is larger than the maximum value a 4-bytes signed integer can hold ((1 << 31) - 1) = 2147483647 Therefore, during the comparison erts_atom_table_size < MIN_ATOM_TABLE_SIZE any number above 2147483647 will be come negative, and causing the condition to be true, which then errored out as bad atom table size. Hence, the actual max atom size is same as the max signed int value.
2017-11-20Fix integer overflow when set a large maximum value for atom tableBoshan Sun
When setting maximum atom table size using +t option, there will be a integer overflow for a large size. $ erl +t2147482625 ll_alloc: Cannot allocate 18446744073692774400 bytes of memory (of type "atom_tab"). The overflow is caused by the arithmetic operations on int type. When 2147482625 + 1024 it will become -2147483647 due to the signed integerger overflow. Then the result will be resized to Uint type, which is a unsigned long type, the negative int will first be expand to 64 bits long via sign extension, then change to unsigned type, which becomes 18446744073692774400. The fix is done by convert `limit` to Uint type before doing any arithmetic operation. This will expand variable to 64 bits long type via zero extension, then the following operation are all positive, therefore no overflow will happen. Note: here we assume the int `limit` passed in is always positive. If some future change cause the `limit` passed in maybe negative, then the current fix will also cause overflow.

This function is no longer needed as maps:iterator has now been implemented.
2017-11-20erts: Implement batching maps:iteratorLukas Larsson
This iterator implementation fetches multiple elements to iterate over in one call to erts_internal:maps_next instead of one at a time. This means that the memory usage will go up for the iterator as we are buffering elements, but the usage is still bounded. In this implementation the max memory usage is 1000 words. Using this approach makes the iterator as fast as using maps:to_list, so maps:iterator/2 has been removed.

2017-11-15erts: Transcode tuple fallbacksSverker Eriksson
When finalizing outgoing distribution messages we transcode them into using tuple fallbacks if the receiver does not support bitstrings and export-funs. This can only happen if the message was first encoded toward a pending connection when the receiver was unknown. It's an optimistic approach optmimized for modern beam nodes, that expect real bitstrings and funs (since <R13). Only erl_interface/jinterface lack this support.

2017-11-15erts: Let send(_,_,[noconnect]) enqueue msg on pending connection.Sverker Eriksson
The least bad behavior I think: * We cannot return 'noconnect' as caller might already have enqueued monitor/link that never triggers. * We cannot block waiting for connection as that can ruin latency when 'noconnect' is used to avoid blocking auto-connect (see gen_server and gen_statem). But there might be users getting more cases of bad latency waiting for a pendig connection, instead of a fast 'noconnect'.
