* mk/net-dragonfly-bsd-patches:
Remove unused variables
Use proper install method
Add support for DragonFly BSD
Add support for NetBSD
|
|
A race condition in erts_poll() could cause
delay of poll for I/O.
|
|
These are the current NetBSD pkgsrc patches.
|
|
Missing memory barriers in erts_poll() could cause the runtime system to
hang indefinitely.

erts_poll_info_kp() [defined in erts/emulator/sys/common/erl_poll.c
via some name-mangling trickery] contains a code path that can end
up in an infinite loop, causing a livelock. There is a block of code
inside #if ERTS_POLL_USE_UPDATE_REQUESTS_QUEUE that is supposed to
iterate over a linked list of ErtsPollSetUpdateRequestsBlocks and
update two variables based on the sizes of these blocks. The bug is
that the loop forgets to advance the list pointer to the next element,
so if the loop is entered at all (the initial list pointer is non-NULL),
the thread falls into an infinite loop.
This patch, against R13B03 but applies fine to today's git, fixes the
bug by adding a statement to advance the list pointer in the loop.
All other loops over this list appear to be correct.
Thanks to Chetan Ahuja for the original report of a livelock problem
in erts_poll_info_kp().

Fix memory management bug causing crash of non-SMP emulator with async
threads enabled. The bug did first appear in R13B03.

Support monitoring and demonitoring from driver threads
Fix further test-suite problems
Correct the VM to work for more test suites
Teach {wordsize,internal|external} to system_info/1
Make tracing and distribution work
Turn on instruction packing in the loader and virtual machine
Add the BeamInstr data type for loaded BEAM code
Fix the BEAM dissambler for the half-word emulator
Store pointers to heap data in 32-bit words
Add a custom mmap wrapper to force heaps into the lower address range
Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address range

Fix safe_mul in the loader, which caused failures in the bit
syntax test cases.
Fix yet another Uint in erl_alloc.h (ERTS_CACHE_LINE_SIZE) causing
segmentation fault when we have many schedulers (why only in that
situation?).
Clean up erl_mseg (remove old code for the Linux 32-bit mmap flag).
While at it, also remove compilation warnings.

Store Erlang terms in 32-bit entities on the heap, expanding the
pointers to 64-bit when needed. This works because all terms are stored
on addresses in the 32-bit address range (the 32 most significant bits
of pointers to term data are always 0).
Introduce a new datatype called UWord (along with its companion SWord),
which is an integer having the exact same size as the machine word
(a void *), but might be larger than Eterm/Uint.
Store code as machine words, as the instructions are pointers to
executable code which might reside outside the 32-bit address range.
Continuation pointers are stored on the 32-bit stack and hence must
point to addresses in the low range, which means that loaded beam code
much be placed in the low 32-bit address range (but, as said earlier,
the instructions themselves are full words).
No Erlang term data can be stored on C stacks (enforced by an
earlier commit).
This version gives a prompt, but test cases still fail (and dump core).
The loader (and emulator loop) has instruction packing disabled.
The main issues has been in rewriting loader and actual virtual
machine. Subsystems (like distribution) does not work yet.

The free list is still rudimentary for the mmap wrapper and
a better implementation will be needed for production quality.

This is the first step in the implementation of the half-word emulator,
a 64-bit emulator where all pointers to heap data will be stored
in 32-bit words. Code specific for this emulator variant is
conditionally compiled when the HALFWORD_HEAP define has
a non-zero value.
First force all pointers to heap data to fall into a single 32-bit range,
but still store them in 64-bit words.
Temporary term data stored on C stack is moved into scheduler specific
storage (allocated as heaps) and macros are added to make this
happen only in emulators where this is needed. For a vanilla VM the
temporary terms are still stored on the C stack.
