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.

2013-11-15Add sync option to file:open/2Joseph Blomstedt
The sync option adds the POSIX O_SYNC flag to the open system call on platforms that support the flag or its equivalent, e.g., FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH on Windows. For platforms that don't support it, file:open/2 returns {error, enotsup} if the sync option is passed in. The semantics of O_SYNC are platform-specific. For example, not all platforms guarantee that all file metadata are written to the disk along with the file data when the flag is in effect. This issue is noted in the documentation this commit adds for the sync option. Add a test for the sync option. Note however that the underlying OS semantics for O_SYNC can't be tested automatically in any practical way, so the test assumes the OS does the right thing with the flag when present. For manual verification, dtruss on OS X and strace on Linux were both run against beam processes to watch calls to open(), and file:open/2 was called in Erlang shells to open files for writing, both with and without the sync option. Both the dtruss output and the strace output showed that the O_SYNC flag was present in the open() calls when sync was specified and was clear when sync was not specified.

New BIF os:unsetenv/1 which deletes an environment variable and returns 'true'. Does not change any old functionality. Calls the libc function unsetenv(3) on UNIX and SetEnvironmentVariableW(key, NULL) on Windows. The unicode support is the same as for os:getenv and os:putenv.

2013-11-01Ensure carrier pool only accessed by schedulersRickard Green
Disable carrier pool for the thread safe allocator instance 0. This since non-managed threads allocates and deallocates memory in this instance, and only managed threads are allowed to access the carrier pool.
2013-10-30Fix truncated pointers in erl_crash.dumpBjörn Gustavsson
When dumping the heaps and stacks in the erl_crash.dump file, only the lower 32 bits of pointers would be printed. Ensure that all bits are printed. While at it, make sure that printing sub binaries with a debug compiled run-time system will work.

2013-10-18erts: Fix segfaulting crashdump writingBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Crashdumps initiated by out-of-memory on spawn could cause the beam to segfault during crashdump writing due to invalid pointers. The pointers are invalid since the process creation never finished. This commit remedies this problem by removing the process from crashdump printout.
