2016-02-02erts: Add microstate accountingLukas Larsson
Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which states the threads are in and then from there figuring out why and where to optimize. Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled through configure. I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent. If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark, the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on somewhere inbetween 5-15%. OTP-12345
2016-02-02erts, kernel: Add os:perf_counter functionLukas Larsson
The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution timer that can be used to timestamp system events. It does not have monoticity guarantees, but should on most OS's expose a monotonous time. A special instruction has been created for this counter to further speed up fetching it. OTP-12908
2016-02-02erts: Add ERTS_WRITE_UNLIKELYLukas Larsson
ERTS_WRITE_UNLIKELY can be used to place global variables in a specific section where only data that is very rarely modified sits. This is used to improve cache locality.

2016-01-20Introduce time warp safe replacement for safe_fixed optionRickard Green
The new time warp safe option is safe_fixed_monotonic_time which gives erlang:monotonic_time(). The safe_fixed option was also slightly changed. It now gives erlang:timestamp() instead of erlang:now(). This has however not been documented, so it is considered a compatible change. The above effects both ets, and dets. This commit also include the bugfix OTP-13239 for dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed). The timestamp in the result returned by dets:info(Tab, safe_fixed) was unintentionally broken as a result of the time API rewrites in OTP 18.0.

2016-01-13erts: Optimize erlang:check_process_codeSverker Eriksson
by ignoring literals. erts_internal:check_process_code will be called again anyway (with option {copy_literals, true}) before the module is actually purged. No need to check literals twice.
2016-01-13erts: Make copy_literals more fail safeSverker Eriksson
* Same process must do enable-disable. * System process will force it and never get 'aborted'

as it's not a public interface.
2016-01-13erts: Make erlang:purge_module/1 safeSverker Eriksson
Problem: erlang:purge_module/1 is not safe in the sense that very bad things may happen if the code to be purged is still referred to by live processes. Introduce erts_internal:purge_module which is the same as the old erlang:purge_module BIF (except it returns false if no such old module). Implement erlang:purge_module in Erlang and let it invoke erts_code_purger for safe purging where all clogging processes first are killed.

memset seen to fail with values larger than 255 on (armata) 32-bit ARM Debian with EGLIBC 2.13-38+rpi2+deb7u8 and gcc 4.6.3-14+rpi1.
2016-01-08erts: Allow -fvisibility=hidden for NIFs and driversSverker Eriksson
as is strongly recommended by gcc man page. We use __attribute__ ((visibility("default"))) to make sure the init functions are properly exported.
2016-01-08erts: Cleanup erl_driver.h for windowsSverker Eriksson
The comment is misleading and no need to "export" static windows drivers. DRIVER_INIT for dynamic windows drivers is defined in erl_win_dyn_driver.h
