2016-05-24erts: Move tracer SecondTraceTerm to Opts mapLukas Larsson
The extra trace data has been moved to the opts map in order for the tracer to be able to distinguish inbetween extra trace data 'undefined' and no extra trace data. In the same commit all opts associations have been changed so that if the tracer should not use them, the key is left unassicated instead of being sent to undefined. This should be give a small performance gain and also makes the API easier to work with.
2016-05-11erts: Only allow remove from trace_status callbackLukas Larsson
Make it so that it is only possible to remove a tracer via returning remove from an erl_tracer. This limition is put in place in order to avoid a lot of lock checking and taking in various places, especially in regards to trace events happening on dirty schedulers.
2016-04-29erts: Fix gc messages in tracer_SUITEBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2016-04-15erts: Optimize tracer reload testLukas Larsson
Without off_heap message queue the GC of the tracer could take very long and thus delay the code:purge which would in turn allow the trace generator to generate a lot of more messages which would make the tracer GC for even longer etc etc. The time taken for the testcase could go up to as large as 10 seconds and use lots of memory.
2016-04-15erts: Implement tracer modulesLukas Larsson
Add the possibility to use modules as trace data receivers. The functions in the module have to be nifs as otherwise complex trace probes will be very hard to handle (complex means trace probes for ports for example). This commit changes the way that the ptab->tracer field works from always being an immediate, to now be NIL if no tracer is present or else be the tuple {TracerModule, TracerState} where TracerModule is an atom that is later used to lookup the appropriate tracer callbacks to call and TracerState is just passed to the tracer callback. The default process and port tracers have been rewritten to use the new API. This commit also changes the order which trace messages are delivered to the potential tracer process. Any enif_send done in a tracer module may be delayed indefinitely because of lock order issues. If a message is delayed any other trace message send from that process is also delayed so that order is preserved for each traced entity. This means that for some trace events (i.e. send/receive) the events may come in an unintuitive order (receive before send) to the trace receiver. Timestamps are taken when the trace message is generated so trace messages from differented processes may arrive with the timestamp out of order. Both the erlang:trace and seq_trace:set_system_tracer accept the new tracer module tracers and also the backwards compatible arguments. OTP-10267
