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.

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.

Sometimes it is wanted to start erlang without loading the user dependent
.erlang file, for example in scripts and configure tests.

config.h defines HAVE_SYSLOG_H whereas the sources are looking for
NO_SYSLOG to be undefined. As the logic of "if feature is available"
makes more sense than "if feature is not unavailable", I opted for the
config.h define.

* sze/to_erl/OTP-11206:
Fix changing terminal parameters in to_erl
|
|
One of our devices does not like 'to_erl' to be run over a serial port.
When to_erl is started, we see "Attaching to /tm<0xFF>" being printed
and the device then refuses to accept any input. Occasionally, we have
seen a linux kernel error message "serial8250: too much work for irq16"
simultaneously. After some debugging we found out that cause is a call
to tcsetattr() by to_erl, immediately preceeded by some printf().
The UART in our device doesn't like hardware parameters to be changed
while output is concurrently active. In fact, the GNU libc manual also
mentions that it might be dangerous to change UART hardware parameters
when a transmission is ongoing.
The patch attached to this e-mail changes the behaviour of to_erl to use
TCSADRAIN instead of TCSANOW when changing terminal parameters. This
makes the serial driver wait for the output queues to be empty before
applying the terminal parameter change.

Like in epmd and erlexec. Otherwise "run_erl" fails on some platforms
when called with the "-daemon" option, printing this error:
"Cannot dup"

These commands invoke gdb directly instead of going through emacs

* rickard/tab-unref-thr-prgr/OTP-10167:
Use thread progress instead of scheduling misc aux work were possible
Conflicts:
erts/emulator/beam/erl_process.h

Functionality for scheduling operations at thread progress later
has been introduced.
Deallocation of ETS table structures were previously done by scheduling
misc aux work. Deallocation of process structures (not released yet)
was also implemented this way. Instead of using the misc aux work
functionality these implementation now use the newly introduced
functionality for scheduling operations at thread progress later. By
using this new functionaliy we reduce the amount of memory
allocation/deallocation operations needed.
