* sverker/valgrind-new-suppressions:
Make halfword emulator with valgrind target allocate low memory
Add erts_alloc_permanent_cache_aligned to supress valgrind
|
|
Limit ERTS_MSEG_FAKE_SEGMENTS (that is otherwise set for valgrind
target) to not apply to low memory needed by halfword emulator. This
will reduce the fault detection capability of valgrind for low memory.
Also correct a bug in the initial mmap and make sure the returned
memory region does not reach into high memory.

In halfword emulator, make ETS use a variant of the internal term
format that uses relative offsets instead of absolute pointers. This
will allow storage in high memory (>4G). Preprocessor macros (like
list_val_rel(TERM,BASE)) are used to make normal (fullword) emulator
almost completely unchanged while still reusing most of the code.

* sverker/unsafe_CancelIoEx/OTP-8937:
Remove use of unreliable CancelIoEx on Windows.
|
|
CancelIoEx has been seen to cause problems with some drivers.
Also improve fallback solution to reuse existing handle-closer-threads.

* rickard/cpu-info/OTP-8765:
Initialize environment functionality after thread lib
Fix faulty assertions
Implement automatic detection of CPU topology on Windows
Make it possible to reread and update detected CPU information
|
|
An assertion failed due to the thread library not being
initialized when initializing an rwmutex. This was however
harmless.

* rickard/erts-poll-race/OTP-8773:
Fix race in erts_poll()
|
|
A race condition in erts_poll() could cause
delay of poll for I/O.

* bjorn/solaris-fp-exception:
Solaris/x86: Handle floating point exceptions properly in driver threads
|
|
On Solaris/x86, the floating point exceptions bits seems to
be propagated to child threads, so if scheduler threads
use floating points exceptions, also driver threads will
have floating points exception enabled.
The problem is that erts_thread_init_float() has not been
called for driver threads, and because of that matherr()
will crash when called.
Fix matherr() so that it will work even if erts_thread_init_float()
has not been called.
This fix was suggested by Mikael Pettersson.

elib_malloc is an alternate memory allocator that
is no longer possible to build.
|
|
A long time ago, the Erlang run-time system could be
build with pre-ANSI/ISO-C (K&R) C compilers, but that is
no longer possible. Remove the remaining uses of the
compatibility macros that made it possible that possible.

These are the current NetBSD pkgsrc patches.

Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The
ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable
thread library used by the runtime system itself.
Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock
implementation which dramatically improve the performance of
read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by
avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader
optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous
rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked
frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the
`{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the
documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information.
The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library
for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the
Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations
on more platforms than before. Use the
`--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument
when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is
located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from:
http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/
The changed API of the ethread library has also caused
modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for
the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done
since it depends on the ethread library.
Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use
instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If
you want the runtime system to be compatible with older
processors (back to 486) you need to pass the
`--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command
line argument when configuring the system.

* se/port_SUITE_env:
fix open_port with many unset env vars
allow open_port with env vars with trailing '=' on Windows
OTP-8701 se/port_SUITE_env
open_port/2 with the spawn and spawn_executable options can include an
{env,Env} option. In some cases unsetting variables would not work on Unix
(typically if more variables were unset than were actually present in the
environment).
|
|
The erlang:open_port spawn and spawn_executable directives can include
an {env, Env} directive to set up environment variables for the
spawned process. Variables can be unset with {"NameOfVariable",false}.
A bug in ert/emulator/sys/unix/sys.c could cause unset variables
to not be unset. This would typically happen if there where more
variables to be unset than there where already set variables in the
destination evironment.
Fix this problem for unix and add a new regression test for it to
the port test suite. Windows does not seem to have the same problem.

Same problem that Steve Vinoski fixed for Unix. Similar fix done in
erts/emulator/sys/win32/sys_env.c for Windows.
Copy-paste from his commit-message:
The erlang:open_port spawn and spawn_executable directives can include
an {env, Env} directive to set up environment variables for the
spawned process. A bug in ert/emulator/sys/unix/sys.c prevented
applications from using {env, Env} to set an environment variable
whose value ended with a '=' (equal sign) character; the code mistook
the trailing equal sign as an indication that an environment variable
was to be cleared from the environment of the spawned process.
For example, passing an {env, Env} of
{env, [{"foo", "bar="}]}
would result in the code in sys.c seeing a string of the form
"foo=bar="
The code would see the final '=' character and assume the directive
wanted to clear a variable named "foo=bar" from the environment of the
spawned process, rather than seeing it as a directive to set the
environment variable "foo" to the value "bar=".

Missing memory barriers in erts_poll() could cause the runtime system to
hang indefinitely.
|
|
The experimental Standalone Erlang (SAE) support based on
Joe Armstrong's work has long been broken. Remove the remaining
code and Makefile rules.

A misbehaving port program that does not read all data written to the port
may deadlock the scheduler thread when it calls port_close. The chosen solution
was to use the new function CancelIoEx if it exist (Vista) otherwise let the
spawn driver wait for a short while (10ms) and then to spawn a thread that will
wait for the port program to exit.

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().

In the erts/emulator/beam sources
#ifdef SOME_OPERATING_SYSTEM
should be avoided. Instead, call a function implemented in
sys/OPERATING_SYSTEM/sys.c.
