2014-02-24ose: Refactor global variables to ppdataLukas Larsson
This is needed because when starting multiple processes from the same shell command they will see the same global data if using status variables.

2014-02-24Added support for ENEA OSELukas Larsson
This port has support for both non-smp and smp. It contains a new way to do io checking in which erts_poll_wait receives the payload of the polled entity. This has implications for all linked-in drivers.

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.

2013-09-11Fix syslog definesMatt Lewandowsky
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
2013-07-22Fix changing terminal parameters in to_erlStefan Zegenhagen
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.

2012-08-02Use thread progress instead of scheduling misc aux work were possibleRickard Green
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.
