We only do this when the user has explicitly told us it's okay to partially disable mitigation (spectre-mitigation=incomplete). The macro is inert if it isn't.

2018-11-13Fix broken assertion on monitor releaseJohn Högberg
We sometimes bump the refc without messing with the table, which means that we sometimes decrement it while in the table, causing the old assertion to fail. The property we want to check is that neither end of the monitor is present in the table when the monitor is deleted.
2018-11-13Avoid closing files in gc/monitor callbacksJohn Högberg
Closing files in these callbacks could block scheduler progress and cause major system instability. We now defer these operations to a dedicated process instead. This process may in turn block forever and prevent further orphaned files from being closed, but it will keep the emulator itself from misbehaving.

* bjorn/erts/persistent_terms/OTP-14669: Implement a tab for persistent terms in crashdump viewer Add tests of persistent terms for crashdump_viewer Add a persistent term storage Refactor releasing of literals Extend the sharing-preserving routines to optionally copy literals
2018-11-06Add a persistent term storageBjörn Gustavsson
Persistent terms are useful for storing Erlang terms that are never or infrequently updated. They have the following advantages: * Constant time access. A persistent term is not copied when it is looked up. The constant factor is lower than for ETS, and no locks are taken when looking up a term. * Persistent terms are not copied in garbage collections. * There is only ever one copy of a persistent term (until it is deleted). That makes them useful for storing configuration data that needs to be easily accessible by all processes. Persistent terms have the following drawbacks: * Updates are expensive. The hash table holding the keys for the persistent terms are updated whenever a persistent term is added, updated or deleted. * Updating or deleting a persistent term triggers a "global GC", which will schedule a heap scan of all processes to search the heap of all processes for the deleted term. If a process still holds a reference to the deleted term, the process will be garbage collected and the term copied to the heap of the process. This global GC can make the system less responsive for some time. Three BIFs (implemented in C in the emulator) is the entire interface to the persistent term functionality: * put(Key, Value) to store a persistent term. * get(Key) to look up a persistent term. * erase(Key) to delete a persistent term. There are also two additional BIFs to obtain information about persistent terms: * info() to return a map with information about persistent terms. * get() to return a list of a {Key,Value} tuples for all persistent terms. (The values are not copied.)

A dirty scheduler is an un-managed thread so we need to lock the msacc state on those.

2018-10-29Optimize operator '--' and yield on large inputsJohn Högberg
The removal set now uses a red-black tree instead of an array on large inputs, decreasing runtime complexity from `n*n` to `n*log(n)`. It will also exit early when there are no more items left in the removal set, drastically improving performance and memory use when the items to be removed are present near the head of the list. This got a lot more complicated than before as the overhead of always using a red-black tree was unacceptable when either of the inputs were small, but this compromise has okay-to-decent performance regardless of input size.

2018-10-26Inline erts_cmpJohn Högberg
This greatly increases the performance of '--'/2 which does a lot of term comparisons.

2018-10-25Fix trapping in lists:reverse/2John Högberg
The first stage wasn't bounded by reductions, and it bumped far more reductions than it should have due to a logic bug.
2018-10-24Extend the sharing-preserving routines to optionally copy literalsBjörn Gustavsson
In the implementation of the zero-copying term storage, we want to preserve sharing, but not copy literals because the modules holding the literals could be unloaded under our feet.
2018-10-23erts: Make thr prgr wakeup current or sched 1Lukas Larsson
Before this change, it was always the aux thread that was woken to handle thread progress events scheduled to happen when all schedulers were going to sleep. This was ok in the pre-OTP-21 implementation when the aux thread just slept on a tse. Now that it sleeps in the fallback pollset this uses too much cpu so instead we wake the thread that is doing the request if it is a managed thread, or else we wake scheduler 1.
2018-10-23erts: Pass thread progress data where possibleLukas Larsson
The poll thread does a lot of waking up and then going back to sleep. A large part of the waking up is managing thread progress and a large part of that was using thread specific data to get the thread progress data pointer. With this refactor the tpd is passed to each of the functions which greatly decreases the number of ethr_get_tsd calls which in turn halves the CPU usage of the poller thread in certain scenarios.
2018-10-19Honor the max heap size when copying literals after purgingBjörn Gustavsson
When a module has been purged from memory, any literals belonging to that module will be copied to all processes that hold references to them. The max heap size limit would be ignored in the garbage collection initiated when copying literals to a process. If the max heap size was exceeded, the process would typically be terminated in the following garbage collection. Since the process would be killed anyway later, kill the process before copying a literal that would make it exceed its max heap size. While at it, also fix a potential bug in `erlang:garbage_collect/0`. If it was found that the max heap sized had been exceeded while executing `erlang:garbage_collect/0`, the process would enter a kind of zombie state instead of being properly terminated.

2018-10-11erts: Fix UNC path handling on WindowsJohn Högberg
This is unlikely to be the last of the path problems seen after OTP 21, and I'm starting to regret my decision to unconditionally use long paths. The idea to hit all long-path problems all the time was good in theory as it makes such bugs far more visible, but there just aren't enough people who test pre-release versions on Windows, making this the world's slowest game of whack-a-mole.
2018-10-11erts: Fix a compiler warningJohn Högberg
This would've been a bug if the value was used.
2018-10-11Add nopush TCP socket optionIgor Slepchin
This translates to TCP_CORK on Linux and TCP_NOPUSH on BSD. In effect, this acts as super-Nagle: no partial TCP segments are sent out until this option is turned off. Once turned off, all accumulated unsent data is sent out immediately. The latter is *not* the case on OSX, hence the implementation ignores "nopush" on OSX to reduce confusion.

2018-10-02Implement {netns,NS} option for inet:getifaddrs/1Raimo Niskanen
Also implement the same option for the legacy undocumented functions inet:getif/1,getiflist/1,ifget/2,ifset/2. The arity 1 functions had before this change got signatures that took a socket port that was used to do the needed syscall, so now the signature was extended to also take an option list with the only supported option {netns,Namespace}. The Socket argument variant remains unsupported. For inet:getifaddrs/1 the documentation file was changed to old style function name definition so be able to hide the Socket argument variant that is visible in the type spec. The arity 2 functions had got an option list as second argument. This list had to be partitioned into one list for the namespace option(s) and the other for the rest. The namespace option list was then fed to the already existing namespace support for socket opening, which places the socket in a namespace and hence made all these functions that in inet_drv.c used getsockopt() work without change. The functions that used getifaddrs() in inet_drv.c had to be changed in inet_drv.c to swap namespaces around the getifaddrs() syscall. This functionality was separated into a new function call_getifaddrs().

The macros for the BSD style option names had accidentally wound up outside the option parsing loop, causing unclear behaviour and Valgrind errors.
