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

2015-08-18Handle ERRNO_BLOCK in fd_driver async functionsSteve Vinoski
Several users on erlang-questions have reported problems with recent releases where output to standard_error causes standard_error_sup to die from receiving an unexpected eagain error. In the fd_driver, change the fd_async() function to handle EINTR, and change fd_ready_async() to handle ERRNO_BLOCK. Add a new test to standard_error_SUITE to generate output to standard_error and ensure that standard_error_sup does not die. Thanks to Kota Uenishi for contributing the test case.

2015-03-20Introduce a new time APIRickard Green
The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality over multiple functions in order to improve on this. The new API consists of a number of new BIFs: - erlang:convert_time_unit/3 - erlang:monotonic_time/0 - erlang:monotonic_time/1 - erlang:system_time/0 - erlang:system_time/1 - erlang:time_offset/0 - erlang:time_offset/1 - erlang:timestamp/0 - erlang:unique_integer/0 - erlang:unique_integer/1 - os:system_time/0 - os:system_time/1 and a number of extensions of existing BIFs: - erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service) - erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize) - erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source) - erlang:system_info(time_offset) - erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode) - erlang:system_info(time_correction) - erlang:system_info(start_time) See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the ERTS User's Guide for more information.

2014-12-19erts: Improve crash dumpsLukas Larsson
This commit improves crash dumps in several ways: * Suspends schedulers to get a current snapshot * Dumps information about scheduler * Dumps stack trace of current running process (including Garbing processes)

These functions allow any thread to suspend any other thread immediately and then resume all threads. This is useful when doing a crash dump in order to get a more accurate picture of what state the system is in.

2014-10-16erts: Make writing to non-tty fds non-blockingLukas Larsson
If the fd_driver is given non-tty fds it will now use an async thread instead of doing a blocking write. An example of a non-tty fd is the fd used by stderr, but could be anything handed down to the driver.
2014-10-16erts: Make tty driver non-blockingLukas Larsson
Instead of using blocking call to fwrite, the tty driver now uses non-blocking calls to writev and queues any output data that cannot be written into the driver queue. Without this change an stdout write could block an entire scheduler if for some reason the pseudo tty on the other side does not consume the output of the Erlang shell. OTP-12239

2014-01-10erts: Make sure fds 0,1 and 2 are openLukas Larsson
If they are not open a really nasty race where the io pipe in erl_poll got fd 0 and the fd_driver setting fd 0 to blocking could occur. This caused the emulator to hang during shutdown.
2013-12-15Undefined MALLOC_USE_HASH macro on TileMDE3Motiejus Jakštys
MALLOC_USE_HASH is not defined in TileraMDE-3, but exists in TileraMDE-2. So use macro conditionally.
2013-11-09Add os:unsetenv/1Martin Hässler
New BIF os:unsetenv/1 which deletes an environment variable and returns 'true'. Does not change any old functionality. Calls the libc function unsetenv(3) on UNIX and SetEnvironmentVariableW(key, NULL) on Windows. The unicode support is the same as for os:getenv and os:putenv.

2013-09-25Implement platform specific aligned sys_alloc and use when supportedRickard Green
erts_sys_aligned_alloc() is currently implemented using posix_memalign if it exist, or using _aligned_malloc on Windows. If erts_sys_aligned_alloc() exist allocators will create sys_alloc carriers similar to how this was done pre-R16.

* Create an erl_crash.dump if no heart exists and no ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS is set (behaviour changed) * Don't create an erl_crash.dump if heart do exists and no ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS is set (behaviour not changed) This changes the behaviour back to the R15B02 default considering if a beam was running with no heart. The motivation is that we want a fast heart to fast restart erlang if it crashes but to be able to get non-truncated erl_crash.dumps via setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS if we so desire.
