2013-11-21erts: Adjust term_to_binary reduction factorsR16B02_yielding_binary_to_termSverker Eriksson
Made them powers of 2 for faster calculations. 500 encoded terms per reductions seemed a bit much, lowered to 32. TERM_TO_BINARY_SIZE_FACTOR was not used in practice as it was only applied to small binaries. Lowered from 500kb to 256kb compressed bytes per trap call.

2013-11-18erts: Fix crash when binary_to_term throws badargSverker Eriksson
after it has built off_heap data and then done at least one trap call. The undo mechanism in dec_term does not work if we build the magic binary after any other off_heap data.

2013-11-18Functionality for disabling garbage collectionRickard Green
Being able to disable garbage collection over context switches vastly simplifies implementation of yielding native code that builds large or complex data structures on the heap. This since the heap can be left in an inconsistent state over the context switch.

2013-11-18Execution of system tasks in context of another processRickard Green
A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of another process will be notified by a message when the task has executed. This message will be on the form: {RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}. A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is made by calling the statically linked in NIF erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It should *only* be called from BIF implementations. Currently defined system tasks are: * garbage_collect * check_process_code Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future. The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3] BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the 'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the system will be performed solely in the context of the process being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over context switches. Newly introduced BIFs: * erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option list. Introduced option: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous garbage collect requests. * erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an option list. Introduced options: * {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue asynchronous check process code requests. * {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort if gc should be needed). These options have been introduced as a preparation for parallelization of check_process_code operations when the code_server is about to purge a module.

2013-09-09Fix incorrect values returned by integer_to_binary/2Juan Jose Comellas
When integer_to_binary/2 receives 0 or a negative number as an argument with a base that is different from 10, it will return incorrect values (<<>> in the case of 0) or it will crash (with negative numbers). This commit fixes these problems and adds tests to cover these cases.

2013-08-29add erl option to set schedulers by percentagesSteve Vinoski
For applications where measurements show enhanced performance from the use of a non-default number of emulator scheduler threads, having to accurately set the right number of scheduler threads across multiple hosts each with different numbers of logical processors is difficult because the erl +S option requires absolute numbers of scheduler threads and scheduler threads online to be specified. To address this issue, add a +SP option to erl, similar to the existing +S option but allowing the number of scheduler threads and scheduler threads online to be set as percentages of logical processors configured and logical processors available, respectively. For example, "+SP 50:25" sets the number of scheduler threads to 50% of the logical processors configured, and the number of scheduler threads online to 25% of the logical processors available. The +SP option also interacts with any settings specified with the +S option, such that the combination of options "+S 4:4 +SP 50:50" (in either order) results in 2 scheduler threads and 2 scheduler threads online. Add documentation for the +SP option. Add tests for the +SP option to scheduler_SUITE. Add tests and documentation for two existing features of the +S option: +S 0:0 resets the scheduler thread count and scheduler threads online count to their defaults, and specifying negative numbers for +S results in those values being subtracted from the default values for the host.
2013-08-27erts: Fix segfault when scheduling release_port later_opLukas Larsson
begin_port_cleanup can be called from a non-scheduler thread, this means that there is no esdp available and thus erts_schedule_thr_prgr_later_op segfaults.
2013-08-23Create better distribution of files over async threadsPatrik Nyblom
The actual port id is used to create a key from the pointer value which is the ErlDrvPort. To do this a new driver api function driver_async_port_key is added and the driver API minor version is updated. The documentation is updated and the faulty description of how to spread ports over async threads is updated to use the new API. Testcase also added.

2013-08-07erts: Fix race in ptab that can cause PID mix-upsSverker Eriksson
Since: R16B01 Symptom: A spawned process may get the same PID as an existing process. The new process will "steal" the PID and make the old process unreachable through the PID. The problem also applies to port identities but has only been seen for processes. Conditions: SMP emulator with at least two scheduler threads. Rapid spawning and termination of a large number of processes. A small number of free slots in the process table will also increase the risk for this bug. Workaround: Use command line options "+P legacy" and "+Q legacy" Cause: The race happens if a process terminates and gets stalled while releasing its process table slot. The stall has to be so long (due to OS preemptive scheduling most probably) for other schedluer threads to consume all other free slots for newly spawn processes. Fix: Write invalid-markers in the free-pid-table and do atomic exhange operations in retry-loops to make sure each thread gets a unique PID.

Bug reported by Jose Valim on the erlang-bugs mailing list: erlang:halt(0,[]) does not flush as advertised in the documentation. Should be the same as erlang:halt(0,[{flush,true}]), but is in fact the same as erlang:halt(0,[{flush,false}]).
