2011-11-25add escript win32 alternative invocation (thanks Pierre Rouleau)Dave Cottlehuber
On Windows, escript may be passed different arvg[0] values depending on how it was started up. This patch allows for escript to be started as "escript.exe" (current behaviour) and also "escript" which is more likely when called from the default Windows cmd.exe shell.

2011-11-14erlc: Do not bind schedulers when invoking "erl"Björn Gustavsson
If parallel make is used, several instance of 'erlc' is likely to be invoked at once. Therefore, the default binding of schedulers to CPU cores will do no good. (With this change, the build of Erlang/OTP with six threads finished in about 7 minutes; without in about 11 minutes.)
2011-11-13Optimize memory allocationRickard Green
A number of memory allocation optimizations have been implemented. Most optimizations reduce contention caused by synchronization between threads during allocation and deallocation of memory. Most notably: * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific allocator instances has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific pre-allocators has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use scheduler specific instances instead of one instance. Apart from reducing contention this also ensures that memory allocators always create memory segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.

2011-05-11erlexec: Make ERL_<version>_FLAGS behave like ERL_AFLAGSBjörn Gustavsson
The contents of the ERL_<version>_FLAGS undocumented environment variable would be added at the end of the command line passed to the BEAM emualator (similar to ERL_ZFLAGS), making it impossible to override (for example) "-smp" with "-smp disable" on the command line. To allow overriding, put the contents of ERL_<version>_FLAGS at the beginning of the command line (similar to ERL_AFLAGS). Since the ERL_<version>_FLAGS variable is undocumented and unsupported, it is OK to change its behaviour in a minor release.
2011-05-11Teach erlexec the -emu_name_exit optionBjörn Gustavsson
It is difficult/impossible to find out whether an invocation of 'erl' will start the smp emulator or the non-smp emulator (short of actually starting the emulator). Therefore we will need a way to ask 'erlexec'.
2011-04-06heart: remove garbage appended to heart commandMichael Santos
heart:get_cmd/0 is documented to return an empty string if the command is cleared. get_cmd/0 returns 2 extra bytes: 1 byte for the trailing null, 1 byte from the op (the op is an unsigned char and 2 bytes are allocated for it in the returned buffer). 1> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[0,0]} 2> heart:set_cmd("echo hello"). ok 3> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[101,99,104,111,32,104,101,108,108,111,0,0]} 4> heart:clear_cmd(). ok 5> heart:get_cmd(). {ok,[0,99]}

* jp/dependencies_makefile: Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3) Conflicts: lib/compiler/test/compile_SUITE.erl OTP-9065
2011-02-18Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3)Jean-Sébastien Pédron
This is useful when a project is built with Makefiles and erlc(1) instead of EMakefiles. Tracking dependencies by hand is error-prone and it becomes painful when using external application headers like EUnit's one. A dependencies Makefile will look like this: module.beam: module.erl \ /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/eunit-2.1.4/include/eunit.hrl \ header.hrl When included in the main Makefile, 'module' will be recompiled only when needed. GCC offers the same feature and new erlc(1) options are compatible with it. More informations at: http://wiki.github.com/dumbbell/otp/dependencies-makefile

The AI_V4MAPPED flag is falling out of grace in modern IPv6 stacks, for security reasons, e.g. FreeBSD do not document it any longer. The AI_ADDRCONFIG flag have got unclear semantics on the same OS.

* sf/erts_de_busy_limit: Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limit
2010-11-02Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limitScott Lystig Fritchie
Id: OTP-8912 This patch creates a new family of flags with the "+z" prefix. It further creates a new configuration option called "dbbl" (which is the first letter of the name dist_buf_busy_limit). Example usage of this flag would be "+zdbbl 1048576". This patch creates an adjustable buffer limit for the amount of data that may be buffered by the erlang distribution code (in dist.c specifically). Before this patch, this hard-coded constant was used: #define ERTS_DE_BUSY_LIMIT (128*1024) When large binaries are transmitted between nodes (or simply a lot of medium-sized binaries), it is very easy to hit the old 128KB limit. Processes that use the erlang:system_monitor() BIF to monitor system events can be spammed by {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} message tuples at rates of tens to even hundreds of messages/second. A larger buffer limit will allow processes to buffer more outgoing messages over the distribution. When the buffer limit has been reached, sending processes will be suspended until the buffer size has shrunk. The buffer limit is per distribution channel. A higher limit will give lower latency and higher throughput at the expense of higher memory usage. A variation of this patch has been in commercial production use in at least two companies that the author is aware of. Larger buffer values can reduce the number of {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} system messages drastically, lower overall messaging latencies, and prevent false timeouts and 'nodedown' messages in extremely busy Mnesia systems. Test suite: there are two tests: a. In erlexec_SUITE.erl to test basic set & get of the value b. In distribution_SUITE.erl, to verify that setting +zdbbl very low will actually change behavior.

* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544: Rewrite ethread library
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable thread library used by the runtime system itself. Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock implementation which dramatically improve the performance of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the `{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information. The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations on more platforms than before. Use the `--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/ The changed API of the ethread library has also caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done since it depends on the ethread library. Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you need to pass the `--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command line argument when configuring the system.
