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

Using the new type syntax, we can specify which keys are required, and
which are optional in a way Dialyzer could use.

This commit completes the tracing for processes so that
all messages sent by a process (via nifs or otherwise) will
be traced.
The commit also adds tracing of all types of events from ports.
When enabling tracing using erlang:trace, the 'all' flag now also
enables tracing on all ports.
OTP-13496

Add the possibility to use modules as trace data receivers. The functions
in the module have to be nifs as otherwise complex trace probes will be
very hard to handle (complex means trace probes for ports for example).
This commit changes the way that the ptab->tracer field works from always
being an immediate, to now be NIL if no tracer is present or else be
the tuple {TracerModule, TracerState} where TracerModule is an atom that
is later used to lookup the appropriate tracer callbacks to call and
TracerState is just passed to the tracer callback. The default process and
port tracers have been rewritten to use the new API.
This commit also changes the order which trace messages are delivered to the
potential tracer process. Any enif_send done in a tracer module may be delayed
indefinitely because of lock order issues. If a message is delayed any other
trace message send from that process is also delayed so that order is preserved
for each traced entity. This means that for some trace events (i.e. send/receive)
the events may come in an unintuitive order (receive before send) to the
trace receiver. Timestamps are taken when the trace message is generated so
trace messages from differented processes may arrive with the timestamp
out of order.
Both the erlang:trace and seq_trace:set_system_tracer accept the new tracer
module tracers and also the backwards compatible arguments.

- The calling process is now suspended while synchronizing
scheduler suspends via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _)
and erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, _), instead of blocking
the scheduler thread in the BIF call waiting for the operation
to synchronize. Besides releasing the scheduler for other work
(or immediate suspend) it also makes it possible to abort the
operation by killing the process.
- erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online, _) now only wait for normal
schedulers to complete before it returns. This since it may take
a very long time before all dirty schedulers suspends.
- erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block_normal|unblock_normal)
which only operate on normal schedulers has been introduced. This
since there are use cases where suspend of dirty schedulers are
not of interest (hipe loader).
- erlang:system_flag(multi_scheduling, block) still blocks all
dirty schedulers as well as all normal schedulers except one since
it is hard to redefine what multi scheduling block means.
- The three operations:
- changing amount of schedulers online
- blocking/unblocking normal multi scheduling
- blocking/unblocking full multi scheduling
can now be done in parallel. This is important since otherwise
a full multi scheduling block would potentially delay the other
operations for a very long time.

Microstate accounting is a way to track which state the
different threads within ERTS are in. The main usage area
is to pin point performance bottlenecks by checking which
states the threads are in and then from there figuring out
why and where to optimize.
Since checking whether microstate accounting is on or off is
relatively expensive if done in a short loop only a few of the
states are enabled by default and more states can be enabled
through configure.
I've done some benchmarking and the overhead with it turned off
is not noticible and with it on it is a fraction of a percent.
If you enable the extra states, depending on the benchmark,
the ovehead when turned off is about 1% and when turned on
somewhere inbetween 5-15%.

The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution timer
that can be used to timestamp system events. It does not have
monoticity guarantees, but should on most OS's expose a monotonous
time.
A special instruction has been created for this counter to further
speed up fetching it.

Problem: erlang:purge_module/1 is not safe in the sense
that very bad things may happen if the code to be purged
is still referred to by live processes.
Introduce erts_internal:purge_module which is the same as the old
erlang:purge_module BIF (except it returns false if no such old module).
Implement erlang:purge_module in Erlang and let it invoke
erts_code_purger for safe purging where all clogging processes
first are killed.

* The youngest generation of the heap can now consist of multiple
blocks. Heap fragments and message fragments are added to the
youngest generation when needed without triggering a GC. After
a GC the youngest generation is contained in one single block.
* The off_heap_message_queue process flag has been added. When
enabled all message data in the queue is kept off heap. When
a message is selected from the queue, the message fragment (or
heap fragment) containing the actual message is attached to the
youngest generation. Messages stored off heap is not part of GC.

Re-insert logic for `erlang:make_fun/3` in `erl_bif_types`. It had
been removed in bd941f5 while type spec-ing `erlang.erl`. Type spec in
`erlang.erl` cannot express arity of returned fun based on value of
argument hence re-introducing logic in `erl_bif_types`.
Re-definition of logic in `erl_bif_types` follows approach in 9d870a0.

The old time API is based on erlang:now/0. The major issue with
erlang:now/0 is that it was intended to be used for so many
unrelated things. This tied these unrelated operations together
and unnecessarily caused performance, scalability as well as
accuracy, and precision issues for operations that do not need
to have such issues. The new API spreads different functionality
over multiple functions in order to improve on this.
The new API consists of a number of new BIFs:
- erlang:convert_time_unit/3
- erlang:monotonic_time/0
- erlang:monotonic_time/1
- erlang:system_time/0
- erlang:system_time/1
- erlang:time_offset/0
- erlang:time_offset/1
- erlang:timestamp/0
- erlang:unique_integer/0
- erlang:unique_integer/1
- os:system_time/0
- os:system_time/1
and a number of extensions of existing BIFs:
- erlang:monitor(time_offset, clock_service)
- erlang:system_flag(time_offset, finalize)
- erlang:system_info(os_monotonic_time_source)
- erlang:system_info(time_offset)
- erlang:system_info(time_warp_mode)
- erlang:system_info(time_correction)
- erlang:system_info(start_time)
See the "Time and Time Correction in Erlang" chapter of the
ERTS User's Guide for more information.

This patch allows checking for NIF API version in a way similar to
driver version. E.g. by calling erlang:system_info(nif_version).
