* rc/r14-gc-fix: fix 64-bit issues in the garbage collection OTP-9488
2011-08-15erts: use a union to avoid strict aliasing issuesTuncer Ayaz
Use a union for pointer type conversion to avoid compiler warnings about strict-aliasing violations with gcc-4.1. gcc >= 4.2 does not emit the warning. TODO: Reconsider use of union once gcc-4.1 is obsolete?
2011-08-15fix 64-bit issues in the garbage collectionRichard Carlsson
We discovered that if a single Erlang process tried to grow above 32 GB (i.e., more 64-bit words than can be counted by a 32-bit number), the VM failed to find the next larger heap size, even though there were plenty more heap sizes left to pick from and even though we had a lot more memory available on the machine. (Obviously, this is only applicable on 64-bit Erlang.) It turned out to be due to some 'int' variables in the heap resizing parts of erl_gc.c not being properly updated to 'Uint' or 'Sint'. Once that was fixed, I got segfaults instead as soon as the heap got larger than 2^32 words, due to even more 'int' declarations in the same file, but now in the GC code. After fixing this as well, I successfully ran an Erlang node in which a single Erlang process had a heap so large that I'm not at liberty to divulge the exact size, but I think the scientific term is "humongous", and I'm confident that there are no further immediate problems with very very large individual process heaps.

To avoid issues with parallel make and to slightly speed up the build process, avoid a recursive make by replacing pcre/Makefile.in with pcre/pcre.mk and including it from the main emulator Makefile.

* dev: Fix binary construction with huge literal sizes beam_load.c: Add overflow check of tag values beam_makeops: Add some sanity checks Fix construction of <<0:((1 bsl 32)-1)>>
2011-08-03Fix binary construction with huge literal sizesBjörn Gustavsson
Constructing binaries using the bit syntax with literals sizes that would not fit in an Uint will either cause an emulator crash or the loading to be aborted. Use the new TAG_o tag introduced in the previous commit to make sure that the attempt to create huge binary literals will generate a system_limit exception at run-time.
2011-08-03beam_load.c: Add overflow check of tag valuesBjörn Gustavsson
The handling of large values for other tags than TAG_i (integer) is buggy. Any tag value equal to or greater than 2^40 (5 bytes) will abort loading. Tag values fitting in 5 bytes will be truncated to 4 bytes values. Those bugs cause real problems because the bs_init2/6 and bs_init_bits/6 instructions unfortunately use TAG_u to encode literal sizes (using TAG_i would have been a better choice, but it is too late to change that now). Any binary size that cannot fit in an Uint should cause a system_limit exception at run-time, but instead the buggy handling will either cause an emulator crash (for values in the range 2^32 to 2^40-1) or abort loading. In this commit, implement overflow checking of tag values as a preparation for fixing the binary construction instructions. If any tag value cannot fit in an Uint (except for TAG_i), change the tag to the special TAG_o overflow tag.
2011-08-03beam_makeops: Add some sanity checksBjörn Gustavsson
We want to make sure that a tag/type name is not defined more than once and that we don't define too many primitive tags. Primitive tags must be named with lowercase letters (or they will be confused with variable names in transformations in the ops.tab file).
2011-08-03Fix construction of <<0:((1 bsl 32)-1)>>Björn Gustavsson
Attempting to construct <<0:((1 bsl 32)-1)>>, the largest bitstring allowed in a 32 bit emulator, would cause an emulator crash because of integer overflow. Fix the problem by using an Uint64 to avoid integer overflow. Do not attempt to handle construction of <<0:((1 bsl 64)-1>> in a 64-bit emulator, because that will certainly cause the emulator to terminate anyway because of insufficient memory.

2011-07-07Fix a match-spec trace bug that could cause emulator crashSverker Eriksson
A trace matchspec with 'enable_trace' or 'disable_trace' in body could cause an emulator crash if a concurrent process altered the trace setting of the traced function by calling erlang:trace_pattern. The effect was a deallocation of the binary holding the matchspec program while it was running. Fixed by increasing reference count of ms-binary in the cases when 'enable_trace' or 'disable_trace' may cause a system block that may alter the ongoing trace. The paradox here is that db_prog_match() is using erts_smp_block_system() to do 'enable_trace' and 'disable_trace' in a safe (atomic) way. But that also have the (non-atomic) effect that racing thread might block the system and change the trace settings with erlang:trace_pattern.
2011-07-07Fix bug in ets:delete for write_concurrency that could lead to deadlockSverker Eriksson
Relocking in ets_delete_1() and remove_named_tab() was done by unlocking the table without clearing the is_thread_safe flag. A racing thread could then read-lock the table and then incorrectly write-unlock the table as db_unlock() looked at is_thread_safe to determine which kind of lock to unlock. Several fixes: 1. Make db_unlock() use argument 'kind' instead of is_thread_safe to determine lock type. 2. Make relock logic use db_lock() and db_unlock() instead of directly accessing lock primitives. 3. Do ownership transfer earlier in ets_delete_1 to avoid racing owner process to also start deleting the same table.

2011-06-14Use new atomic API in runtime systemRickard Green
All uses of the old deprecated atomic API in the runtime system have been replaced with the use of the new atomic API. In a lot of places this change imply a relaxation of memory barriers used.
2011-06-14Improve ethread atomicsRickard Green
The ethread atomics API now also provide double word size atomics. Double word size atomics are implemented using native atomic instructions on x86 (when the cmpxchg8b instruction is available) and on x86_64 (when the cmpxchg16b instruction is available). On other hardware where 32-bit atomics or word size atomics are available, an optimized fallback is used; otherwise, a spinlock, or a mutex based fallback is used. The ethread library now performs runtime tests for presence of hardware features, such as for example SSE2 instructions, instead of requiring this to be determined at compile time. There are now functions implementing each atomic operation with the following implied memory barrier semantics: none, read, write, acquire, release, and full. Some of the operation-barrier combinations aren't especially useful. But instead of filtering useful ones out, and potentially miss a useful one, we implement them all. A much smaller set of functionality for native atomics are required to be implemented than before. More or less only cmpxchg and a membar macro are required to be implemented for each atomic size. Other functions will automatically be constructed from these. It is, of course, often wise to implement more that this if possible from a performance perspective.

2011-06-08Teach prim_file:list_dir/1,2 to use fname chunksBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The efile driver will now use chunked data on list_dir. This will lessen the number of sends to prim_file and hence improve performance. This method is utilized in both direct and async cases.
2011-05-24inet: error if fd does not match socket domainMichael Santos
If an IPv4 fd is opened as an IPv6 socket, unexpected behaviour can occur. For example, if an IPv4 UDP socket is opened and passed into Erlang as an IPv6 socket, the first 3 bytes (corresponding to 1 byte representing the protocol family, 2 bytes set to the port) are stripped from the payload. The cause of the UDP payload truncation happens in inet_drv.c:packet_inet_input when a call to inet_get_address fails silently because the family is set to PF_INET6 but the buffer len is the size of an IPv4 struct sockaddr_in. Prevent this behaviour by checking that the protocol family of the file descriptor matches the family of the requested Erlang socket. {ok, S1} = gen_udp:open(0, [binary, inet]), {ok, FD} = inet:getfd(S1), {ok, Port} = inet:port(S1), {ok, S} = gen_udp:open(Port, [binary, {fd, FD}, inet6]), {ok, C} = gen_udp:open(0, [binary]), Msg = <<1,2,3,4,5>>, gen_udp:send(C, "127.0.0.1", Port, Msg), receive {udp, S, _, _, Msg} -> ok; {udp, S, _, _, NewMsg} -> {error, Msg, NewMsg} end. This test results in: {error,<<1,2,3,4,5>>,<<4,5>>} Thanks to Andrew Tunnell-Jones for finding the bug and the test case!
