OTP-8475 Driver threads, such as async threads, using port data locks
peeked at the port status field without proper locking when
looking up the driver queue.
OTP-8487 A call to the BIF unregister(RegName) when a port had the
name RegName registered in the runtime system without SMP
support caused a runtime system crash. (Thanks to Per Hedeland
for the bugfix and test case.)
OTP-8591 Fix memory management bug causing crash of non-SMP emulator
with async threads enabled. The bug did first appear in
R13B03.

* egil/lcnt:
Add test suite for lcnt in tools
Add lcnt:rt_opt/1 bindings to erts_debug
Add runtime option to enable/disable lcnt stats
Add auto width on string output
Add lcnt documentation
Add lock profiling tool
OTP-8424 Add lock profiling tool.
The Lock profiling tool, lcnt, can make use of the internal lock
statistics when the runtime system is built with this feature
enabled.
This provides a mechanism to examine potential lock bottlenecks
within the runtime itself.
- Add erts_debug:lock_counters({copy_save, bool()}). This option
enables or disables statistics saving for destroyed processes and
ets-tables. Enabling this might consume a lot of memory.
- Add id-numbering for lock classes which is otherwise undefined.

* gc/hipe_darwin_amd64:
Fix hipe memory allocation problems on darwin/amd64
Porting x86 darwin fixes to amd64 darwin hipe asm/m4 code
Automatically enable hipe for darwin/amd64 builds

tile-cc 2.0.1.78377 when compiling the runtime system.
|
|
HiPE on amd64 needs to be able to allocate memory in the 0x20000000+
range so that compiled code will be addressable with 32bit pointers
(when sign extended). By default, when building 64bit executables on
OS X, PAGEZERO occupies the first 4GB of virtual memory. The PAGEZERO
segment cannot be mmap(ed) or vm_allocate(d) into.
To avoid this problem we use the -pagezero_size linker flag to reduce
the size of PAGEZERO and free up the 0x20000000+ space.
|
|
Compared to GNU as, Mac OS X's assembler uses different directives for
text and global sections, and omits type and size directives
entirely. We also need to mangle symbol names in order to allow
linking with C object files.

Add the +t emulator option to change the maximum number of atoms
OTP-8405 There is a new +t emulator option for changing the maximum number
of atoms. (Thanks to Julien Barbot.)

erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block | unblock) could

It is now possible to increase or decrease the maximum number of atoms

* mp/hipe-smp-fixes:
work around hipe_mfa_info_table lock omission
fix hipe loader SMP non-atomicity error
OTP-8397 The loading of native code was not properly atomic in the SMP
emulator, which could cause crashes. Also a per-MFA information
table for the native code has now been protected with a lock
since it turns that it could be accessed concurrently in the SMP
emulator. (Thanks to Mikael Pettersson.)
|
|
HiPE maintains per-MFA information such as native code entry
point in a table. This table was thought to be read-only at
runtime, except when the loader populates it, so it employed
no locking. That turned out to be incorrect: if there is an
apply of a previously unseen MFA, a native code stub for that
MFA is created and recorded in the table, causing it to grow.
Work around this for now by slapping a mutex around accesses
to that table.

In the erlang-questions thread "os:timestamp() uses mutex lock"
Jonas Falkevik questioned the need for a mutex lock in
os:timestamp/0. The mutex lock *is* needed in erlang:now()
to guarantee the uniqueness of the returned time, but serves
no useful purpose in os:timestamp().

* bg/compiler-beam_validator:
beam_validator: fix incorrect assumptions about GC guard BIFs
OTP-8378 In rare circumstances when using garbaging collecting guard BIFs,
the validation pass (beam_validator) would signal that the code
was unsafe, when it in fact was correct. (Thanks to Kiran
Khaladkar.)
|
|
In an SMP emulator, two of the test cases in statistics_SUITE
frequently fail.
Remove the runtime_zero_update/1 test case, because you can't
really expect an SMP emulator not to spend any CPU time at
all even if no Erlang process is active.
Adjust the runtime_update/1 test case to not fail if the
measured times are note close enough. It will still fail
if statistics(runtime) would fail or return the wrong type.

* egil/binary-gc:
Add documentation for binary heap size settings.
Add tracing capabilities for binary virtual heap
Add min heap size start options to beam and erl
Improve binary garbage collection
OTP-8370 The default settings for garbage collection of binaries has been
adjusted to be less aggressive than in R13B03. It is now also
possible configure the settings for binary GC. See the
documentation for spawn_opt/2-5, erlang:system_info/1,
erlang:system_flag/2, process_flag/2-3, erlang:trace/3, and the
documenation for erl for the new command line options +hms and
+hmbs.
|
|
The beam_validator pass incorrectly assumes that a GC guard
BIF (such as length/1) may first do a garbage collection
and then fail. That assumption is not correct (guards BIF
only do garbage collection when it is known that the BIF
call will succeed), and will cause the compiler to reject
valid programs.
Modify the beam_validator to assume that if the branch is
taken for a gc_bif instruction, all registers are unchanged
and no garbage collection has occurred. Also add a comment
in the emulator about that assumption.
|
|
|
|
The erl (and beam) start arguments are extended with
the following options:
* +hms Size, sets the default minimum heap size
for processes.
* +hmbs Size, sets the default minimum binary virtual heap
size for processes.
The previous +h Size argument can still be used for backward
compatibility purposes.
|

The garbage collector in r13b03 is too aggressive in some cases. This
commit raises the level of default initial allowed binary garbage
(virtual heap for binaries) before collecting from 233 words to
46368 words (181 kB on 32-bit).
A new option, min_bin_vheap_size, has been added to spawn_opt,
system_flag and process_flag can be used to change the default values.
The option can also be used with system_info and process_info to
inspect the values.
For symmetry the option min_heap_size has been added to the above
functions where it was previously missing.
Add testcases for min_bin_vheap_size and min_heap_size for
functions process_flag/2, process_info/2, system_info/2 and
spawn_opt/2.

* jv/binary_to_term-opts:
document ErtsExternalDist flags and CON_ID mask
add options to binary_to_term
OTP-8367 There is new erlang:binary_to_binary/2 BIF that takes an option
list. The option safe can be used to prevent creation of
resources that are not garbage collected (such as atoms). (Thanks
to Jayson Vantuyl.)
|
|
In the ErtsExternalDist structure, the flags field holds a combination of flags
(tagged into the high bits) and the connection ID (in the low bits). This
wasn't clearing indicated anywhere. This patch adds a comment before the flags
and mask that indicates their use and relation to each other. This will help
guide people through the code and reduce the likelihood that someone will add a
flag without adjusting the mask.

term_to_binary and binary_to_term are powerful tools that can be used easily in
lieu of a custom binary network protocol. Unfortunately, carefully crafted
data can be used to exhaust the memory in an Erlang node by merely attempting
to decode binaries. This makes it unsafe to receive data from untrusted
sources.
This is possible because binary_to_term/1 will allocate new atoms and new
external function references. These data structures are not garbage collected.
This patch implements the new form of binary_to_term that takes a list of
options, and a simple option called 'safe'. If specified, this option will
cause decoding to fail with a badarg error if an atom or external function
reference would be allocated.
In the general case, it will happily decode any Erlang term other than those
containing new atoms or new external function references. However, fun, pid,
and ref data types can embed atoms. They might fail to decode if one of these
embedded atoms is new to the node. This may be an issue if encoded binaries
are transferred between nodes or persisted between invocations of Erlang.
