2016-09-02erts: Fix child setup signal hander bugLukas Larsson
When running the signal handler, the errno has to be restored to its original value, otherwise code running in the same thread may misbehave.
2016-07-11Merge branch 'lukas/erts/spawn_driver_relative_cd/ERL-175/OTP-13733' into maintLukas Larsson
* lukas/erts/spawn_driver_relative_cd/ERL-175/OTP-13733: erts: Add port_SUITE:cd invalid dir testcase erts: Fix spawn driver with relative cd option erts: Fix HARD_DEBUG printouts in erl_child_setup erts: Improve error printouts in erl_child_setup Conflicts: erts/emulator/test/port_SUITE.erl

2016-07-01erts: Fix HARD_DEBUG printouts in erl_child_setupLukas Larsson
2016-07-01erts: Improve error printouts in erl_child_setupLukas Larsson
Add prints to stderr with a small description of the error so that errors will be easier to debug. Also if a protocol error is detected, erl_child_setup will abort instead of exit.
2016-06-28erts: Save abort reason for erl_child_setupSverker Eriksson
Nice to have for core dump inspection when stderr -> /dev/null.

2015-12-15erts: Never abort in the forked childLukas Larsson
We always want the error to propagate up to the application when a child cannot be created.
2015-12-15erts: Mend ASSERT makro for erl_child_setupSverker Eriksson
when called by hash.c for example. We use ASSERT from sys.h but erl_child_setup implements its own erl_assert_error() as it doesn't link with sys.o.
2015-12-15erts: Only use forker StackAck on freebsdLukas Larsson
2015-12-15erts: Add forker StartAck for port start flowcontrolLukas Larsson
An acknowledgement of the Start command has to be managed as we have to make sure that packages are not dropped and also that the close calls do not happen too early.
2015-12-15erts: Move os_pid to port hash to child setupLukas Larsson
Had to move the hashing because of a race that can otherwise happen where a new os_pid value was inserted into the hash before the previous value had been removed. Also replaced the protocol inbetween erts and child setup to be a binary protocol. This was done in order to deal with the varying size of Eterm.
2015-12-15erts: Handle all EINTR and EAGAIN cases in child setupLukas Larsson
2015-12-15erts: Make child_setup work with large environmentsLukas Larsson
2015-12-15erts: Fix dereferencing of unaligned integer for sparcLukas 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

2015-04-28erl_child_setup.c: fix Android breakageMikael Pettersson
The Android support in erl_child_setup.c is broken: 1. The close fd loop compares an fd (integer i) with the address of the function __system_properties_fd rather than the value of calling that function. 2. This function is locally defined, but its name starts with two underscores which is reserved for the implementation. 3. This function is not used outside of this file, so should be static. 4. This function performs a fair amount of work (calls getenv and atoi), which would be repeated for each and every fd in the [from,to] range. 5. This function contains an unsed local variable 's'. Fixed by dropping the __ prefix, making the function static, dropping the unused local variable, and rewriting the close fd loop to call the function at most once.
2015-01-27erts: Don't close all fds twice in child_setupBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The commit c2b4eab25c907f453a394d382c04cd04e6c06b49 introduced an error in which child_setup erroneously tried to close all file descriptors twice.
