Id: OTP-8912
This patch creates a new family of flags with the "+z" prefix. It
further creates a new configuration option called "dbbl" (which is the
first letter of the name dist_buf_busy_limit). Example usage of this
flag would be "+zdbbl 1048576".
This patch creates an adjustable buffer limit for the amount of data
that may be buffered by the erlang distribution code (in dist.c
specifically). Before this patch, this hard-coded constant was used:
#define ERTS_DE_BUSY_LIMIT (128*1024)
When large binaries are transmitted between nodes (or simply a lot of
medium-sized binaries), it is very easy to hit the old 128KB limit.
Processes that use the erlang:system_monitor() BIF to monitor system
events can be spammed by {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} message tuples
at rates of tens to even hundreds of messages/second.
A larger buffer limit will allow processes to buffer more outgoing
messages over the distribution. When the buffer limit has been
reached, sending processes will be suspended until the buffer size has
shrunk. The buffer limit is per distribution channel. A higher limit
will give lower latency and higher throughput at the expense of
higher memory usage.
A variation of this patch has been in commercial production use in at
least two companies that the author is aware of. Larger buffer values
can reduce the number of {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} system
messages drastically, lower overall messaging latencies, and prevent
false timeouts and 'nodedown' messages in extremely busy Mnesia systems.
Test suite: there are two tests:
a. In erlexec_SUITE.erl to test basic set & get of the value
b. In distribution_SUITE.erl, to verify that setting +zdbbl very
low will actually change behavior.

There is a bug in system_info BIF causing a crash if
erts_get_cpu_topology_term fails. The fix comes with a non-regression
test.

got released, creating valgrind memcheck Definitely Lost warnings.

drivers in the emulator and the test cases.

* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544:
Rewrite ethread library
|
|
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.

* sverker/full_INTEGER_EXT/OTP-8540:
term_to_binary use all 32 bits of INTEGER_EXT
|
|
* sverker/driver_int64_bug/OTP-8716:
Fix bug that caused faulty 64-bit integers from drivers.
|
|
|
|
* se/http_response_empty_phrase:
{packet,http} allow empty response phrase
|
|
Earlier, external format INTEGER_EXT was only produced for 28-bit
signed integers. Now full 32-bit signed integers are produced as
INTEGER_EXT to avoid the more costly SMALL_BIG_EXT format. Both old
and new code can read 32-bit INTEGER_EXT.
Also fixed integer encoding bugs in erl_interface erl_encode/erl_decode.
(Thanks to Alexander Demidenko for reporting)

This change handles erlang:localtime_to_universaltime(...,true) in timezones
without DST in a consistent way over platforms. Specifically BSD did return
an (accurate) -1 from mktime, which blew things up. Now all platforms regard
no DST as a DST with delta zero. Linux, SunOS, MacOS etc already did this,
why the behaviour on BSD was updated to the slightly incorrect one instead
of breaking backward compatibility on most other platforms.
Before this change, erlang:localtime_to_universaltime({{2008, 8, 1},
{0, 0, 0}},true) would return {1969, 12, 31}, {23, 59, 59}} when
TZ=UTC on FreeBSD, now it mimics the behaviour of other systems and returns
{{2008, 8, 1},{0, 0, 0}}.
The problem was originally reported by Paul Guyot on erlang-bugs mailing list:
http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/2008-November/001077.html
This correction replaces earlier BSD specific open source patches for this
problem.

Packet type 'http' for erlang:deocode:packet and gen_tcp allow a
response line with an empty phrase string, like
"HTTP/1.1 200\r\n".
Earlier, an empty phrase was only accepted if the status code
was followed by space or tab, like
"HTTP/1.1 200 \r\n".

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.

Teach compiler to override autoimport with import
First prototype for local functions overriding autoimported
OTP-8579 Local functions should override auto-imported
Local and imported functions now override the autoimported
BIFs when the names clash. The pre R14 behaviour was that
autoimported BIFs would override local functions. To avoid
that old programs change behaviour, the following will
generate an error:
Doing a call without explicit module name to a local function
having a name clashing with the name of an autoimported BIF
that was present (and autoimported) before OTP R14A
Explicitly importing a function having a name clashing with
the name of an autoimported BIF that was present (and
autoimported) before OTP R14A Using any form of the old
compiler directive nowarn_bif_clash
If the BIF was added or autoimported in OTP R14A or later,
overriding it with an import or a local function will only
result in a warning,
To resolve clashes, you can either use the explicit module
name erlang to call the BIF, or you can remove the autoimport
of that specific BIF by using the new compiler directive
-compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]})., which makes all calls to
the local or imported function without explicit module name
pass without warnings or errors.
The change makes it possible to add autoimported BIFs without
breaking or silently changing old code in the future. However
some current code ingeniously utilizing the old behaviour or
the nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive, might need changing
to be accepted by the compiler.
