2010-06-03Fix BeamInstr for call_timeBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2010-06-03Teach call_time trace to use intruction pointersBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
call_time trace will use instruction pointers instead of breakpoint data pointers. More costly lookup but the bdt structure might be deallocated, we do not want that. Remove unnecessary pattern lock.
2010-06-03Add return_time trace and PSD deletionsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2010-06-03Remove trailing character in beam_bif_loadBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2010-06-03Fix set_function_break to use correct breakpointBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
op_i_time_breakpoint is now used
2010-06-03Add processes hashes for call time breakpointsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Call time breakpoint tracing traces per call trace per process. - Add hashes to support the extra dimension. - Teach trace_info/2 to handle the extra information dimension.

Alignment of scheduler data and run queues were adjusted.
2010-06-03OTP-8666 Enable automatic binding of schedulers when possibleRickard Green
The runtime system will by default bind schedulers to logical processors using the default_bind bind type if the amount of schedulers are at least equal to the amount of logical processors configured, binding of schedulers is supported, and a CPU topology is available at startup. NOTE: If the Erlang runtime system is the only operating system process that binds threads to logical processors, this improves the performance of the runtime system. However, if other operating system processes (as for example another Erlang runtime system) also bind threads to logical processors, there might be a performance penalty instead. If this is the case you, are are advised to unbind the schedulers using the <seealso marker="erl#+sbt">+sbtu</seealso> command line argument, or by invoking <seealso marker="erlang#system_flag_scheduler_bind_type">erlang:system_flag(schedule r_bind_type, unbound)</seealso>.

2010-06-03Merge branch 'pan/otp_8579_autoimport_override' into devErlang/OTP
* origin/pan/otp_8579_autoimport_override: Update preloaded modules Update primary bootstrap Remove outcommented code from erl_lint Make port_command/3 auto-imported Remove (harmless) warnings about min/max in core applications Autoimport min/2 and max/2 Improve coverage of erl_int in testcases Change warning to error for nowarn_bif_clash compiler directive Add -compile({no_auto_import,[F/A]}) doc to compiler.xml Add some testcases to compiler to verify that overriding really happens Return nowarn_bif_clash functionality but with warning Teach erl_lint to better override BIFs with local functions and imports 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.

2010-05-27inet_drv.c: Remove red herringBjörn Gustavsson
Remove redundant "!defined(__WIN32__)". It is used inside the #else branch of a "#ifdef __WIN32__", so it serves no useful purpose except to fool unsuspecting readers.
2010-05-27use macro to portably test for socket system call errorsSteve Vinoski
On some combinations of Montavista Linux running on Cavium Octeon chips, some socket-related system calls erroneously return negative numbers other than -1 to indicate errors, but inet_drv.c specifically compares against -1 to test for errors. The result is that beam dumps core due to the code treating these negative numbers as success indicators, as counts/offsets of bytes written, etc. thereby corrupting its own internal data structures. To fix this, introduce a portability macro to test the result of socket system calls. The test remains unchanged on Windows but for other platforms the macro considers all return values that are less than zero to be errors. Though POSIX specifies that errors from these system calls are indicated by a return value of -1, treating all negative return values as errors is also safe, as described in detail below. In networking programming, treating all negative return values from system calls as errors is very common practice -- see the examples in W. Richard Stevens's popular and highly lauded network programming books, for example. For system calls that return 0 to indicate success, treating all negative numbers as errors is safe because only 0 is specified to indicate success. These include: getsockname getpeername getsockopt gethostname bind listen connect close shutdown Likewise, for system calls that return non-negative numbers to indicate success, treating all negative numbers as errors is also safe. These functions typically return signed integers of type ssize_t, and they treat any parameters of type size_t that cannot fit within the ssize_t return value, such as numbers of bytes to read or write, as errors (specifically EINVAL). For example, in the "ERRORS" section of the man page for writev from several varieties of Linux, it states that EINVAL is returned when the total length of the I/O is more than can be expressed by the ssize_t return value. These calls include: recv recvfrom recvmsg writev send sendto sendmsg Finaly, the socket() system call is also similar to these in that it returns a signed type (int) with all non-negative return values indicating success, so treating all negative return values as errors is safe.

2010-05-24Fix deadlock in spawn driver on windowsSverker Eriksson
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.

2010-05-24Change binary_to_term/2 to be auto-importedJayson Vantuyl
While binary_to_term/2 was added in R13B04, it wasn't auto-imported. This conformed to longstanding policy of not changing auto-imports between major versions. This patch contains changes to auto-import binary_to_term/2 to coincide with the release of R14.

2010-05-20Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadviseFilipe David Manana
Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to maximize disk IO performance.
2010-05-20Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents onlyFilipe David Manana
file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)". This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write operations compared to fsync. More details on it at: http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync An example, from the MySQL source: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61 This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.
2010-05-20sys.h: Correct the get_int64() macroBjörn Gustavsson
The get_int64() macro has never been used (it was probably added for completeness at the same time that put_int64() was added), but it was not actually used and therefore it does not actually work.
2010-05-20Remove stray support for the put_literal/2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
put_literal/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11 to support literals, but before the R12 release support for literals was implemented for all instruction, making the put_literal/2 instruction redundant. Although the beam_disasm module supports dissambley of instructions in older releases, there is no reason to have it support experimental instructions.
2010-05-20Remove the bs_bits_to_bytes/3 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
The last compiler to generate code that uses the bs_bits_to_bytes/3 instruction was the R11 compiler. Since we don't support loading R11 *.beam files in R14, removing the remaining support for the instruction.
2010-05-20erts: Stop supporting non-literal empty tuplesBjörn Gustavsson
Since R12B, empty tuples are literals. Thus the compiler will no longer generate the instruction: put_tuple 0 Destination for creating an empty tuple. It is now time to stop supporting that instruction in the run-time system. While we are at it, correct a typo.
