Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary
references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change
the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization.
An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A
magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic
binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without
having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly.
Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by
removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of
planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers,
and BIF timer identifiers.
Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also
be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic
references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty
binaries to the Erlang software.

* hm/escript-emulator:
escript: Handle symbolic link to a standalone escript
|
|
|
|
|
|
The code has been rearranged to make use of the actual path
"get_default_emulator(scriptname)" to the escript instead of
the given one "get_default_emulator(argv[0])".
TL;DR
Assume a source system with some Erlang applications (app1, app2 etc.)
and an escript called "mytool". When generating a standalone target
system (with reltool for example), the escript(s) are located in the
same top bin directory as "erl". See mytool* below.
In such a system the original "mytool" escript is given the extension
".escript" and the file with the same name as the original escript is
a copy of the "escript" executable. One purpose of the escript
executable is to determine which "erl" to use to start the system.
In a standalone system we want it to find the runtime system bundled
with the escript(s). This is done by analyzing the path in order to
find the "erl" located in the same directory as the escript.
A dilemma here is that we do not want to put the top bin directory
in the execution path (PATH env var) as we then would cause other
Erlang applications to make use of our bundled run-time system.
One way of solving this is to choose some suitable bin directory in
the execution path (such as /user/local/bin) and put a symbolic link
there to our mytool executable.
Unfortunately this did not work as the escript executable (in this
case called mytool) would try to find "erl" in /usr/local/bin and when
it did not find such a file it resorted to use the command "erl" which
would find some (unwanted) "erl" in the execution path.
My fix solves that problem.

Hardware watchdog support was removed from heart in R13A, but there were
still some vestiges in the code and the documentation.
- Remove mentions of the HW_WD_DISABLE variable, as it's no longer used.
- Remove the HEART_BEAT_BOOT_DELAY variable, as it was only used for the
hardware watchdog.

Specifically etp-stacktrace/stackdump/process-info have been changed
|
|
This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent
erlang code in erts.
ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header
that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of
each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that
were previously used to point to these locations.
After this change the code should never use BeamInstr *
with offsets to figure out different parts of the
func_info header.
ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a
MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also
in Process->current.
All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr *
to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo
where appropriate.
The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the
ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to
make it work.

with run_erl option -sleepy-child
to provoke race when slave pty is late
|
|
Symptom: run_erl does exit(0) and child program (erl) does
not seem to start. Running run_erl again however brings the previous
child program to life.
Problem: A race causing run_erl to read 0 from master pty and exit
because the child has not yet opened its corresponding slave pty.
Solution: Use the non standard openpty() function instead that does
not expose this race as the slave fd is opened in the parent.
Question:
Is there a race free way to do this with posix_openpt on OpenBSD?

If the environment variable HEART_NO_KILL is set then
heart won't kill the old erlang process. This is desirable
if the command executed by heart takes care of this.

Add a command line option that lets you disable automatic starting of
epmd when starting a distributed node.
This differs from the undocumented setting -no_epmd, in that it does
not affect the starting of an erl_epmd process within
erl_distribution: the newly started node will expect an epmd instance
to have been started previously.

The max_heap_size process flag can be used to limit the
growth of a process heap by killing it before it becomes
too large to handle. It is possible to set the maximum
using the `erl +hmax` option, `system_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`,
`spawn_opt(Fun, [{max_heap_size, ...}])` and
`process_flag(max_heap_size, ...)`.
It is possible to configure the behaviour of the process
when the maximum heap size is reached. The process may be
sent an untrappable exit signal with reason kill and/or
send an error_logger message with details on the process
state. A new trace event called gc_max_heap_size is
also triggered for the garbage_collection trace flag
when the heap grows larger than the configured size.
If kill and error_logger are disabled, it is still
possible to see that the maximum has been reached by
doing garbage collection tracing on the process.
The heap size is defined as the sum of the heap memory
that the process is currently using. This includes
all generational heaps, the stack, any messages that
are considered to be part of the heap and any extra
memory the garbage collector may need during collection.
In the current implementation this means that when a process
is set using on_heap message queue data mode, the messages
that are in the internal message queue are counted towards
this value. For off_heap, only matched messages count towards
the size of the heap. For mixed, it depends on race conditions
within the VM whether a message is part of the heap or not.
Below is an example run of the new behaviour:
Eshell V8.0 (abort with ^G)
1> f(P),P = spawn_opt(fun() -> receive ok -> ok end end, [{max_heap_size, 512}]).
<0.60.0>
2> erlang:trace(P, true, [garbage_collection, procs]).
1
3> [P ! lists:duplicate(M,M) || M <- lists:seq(1,15)],ok.
ok

that uses its own super carrier (erts_exec_mmapper)
to guarantee low addressed and executable memory (PROT_EXEC).
Currently only used on x86_64 that needs low memory
for HiPE/AMD64's small code model.
By initializing erts_exec_mapper early we secure
its low memory area before erts_literal_mmapper might
steal it.

On MacOS X, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE usually *removes* features from
header files.
Therefore, we should not set _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 since that will
remove the prototype for vsyslog(). Setting it to an empty value
or not including it will ensure that the vsyslog() prototype is
included.
