2014-04-29erts: Fix global tracing of beam function when called from hipe codeSverker Eriksson
Make hipe to beam calls use export entry. Makes it a lot easier to handle global tracing correctly (breakpoints in export entry). A beam function should now be traced correctly regardless how it is called. This will also fix a SEGV crash when a hipe stub is made pointing into a traced export entry and tracing is then stopped which clears the export entry causing the hipe stub to execute beam instruction NULL. This commit assumes that hipe code never calls local beam functions, which should be the case nowadays as we only hipe compile entire modules.

2010-09-30fix 64-bit writes to 32-bit struct field in HiPE runtimeMikael Pettersson
In the HiPE part of the runtime system's Process struct there is a state field which is 32 bits wide even on 64-bit machines. There is a single instruction in the HiPE AMD64 runtime where this field is incorrectly written with a 64-bit store. Luckily the extraneous 32 bits are written as zeros to 4 bytes of tail-padding at the end of the struct, so nothing should have broken because of this. The same bug exists in the HiPE PowerPC64 runtime (in development), but on the big-endian PPC64 the effect is to write the actual value to the tail-padding and zero to the struct field, which potentially breaks TRAPs from BIFs (depending on BIF arities and how many parameter registers the runtime has been configured to use). Thanks to Paul Guyot for noticing the oversized write on AMD64.
2010-09-06Fix call to erts_gc_after_bif_call in hipe gluePaul Guyot
R12B-0 changed the signature of erts_gc_after_bif_call and it now takes 4 parameters instead of 2 in R11B-5. Yet, the glue code was not updated accordingly. As a result, the function erts_gc_after_bif_call was called with garbage and would randomly cause a crash later in the garbage collector code. The fix consists in passing NULL and 0 for the third and fourth parameters, since there is no term to add to rootset, recovering the behaviour of R11B-5 (see otp_src_R11B-5/erts/emulator/beam/erl_gc.c, line 314). (Includes assembly language fixes and code style improvements suggested by Mikael Pettersson.)
