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.

erl_prim_loader: Eliminate dialyzer warning
Conflicts:
erts/preloaded/ebin/erl_prim_loader.beam

The concat/1 function is now only used to append lists when
constructing filenames. Thus it is too general and the first
clause (that handles characters) will never be used.
We could just remove the clause that is never used, but then the
name 'concat' would be misleading and someone could use misuse it.
Therefore, replace concat/1 with the join/2 function that can only
be used for joining filename components.

Update documentation and specifications of some of the zlib functions
Conflicts:
erts/preloaded/ebin/zlib.beam
|
|
The functions zlib:deflateSetDictionary/2 and zlib:inflateSetDictionary/2
accept iodata() as Dictionary.
The functions zlib:crc32/2,3, zlib:adler32/2,3, zlib:compress/1,
zlib:uncompress/1, zlib:zip/1, and zlib:unzip/1 accept iodata() as
data.

concat_binary/1 was deprecated in R13B04, but already in
the R10B-2 release, the documentation recommends using
list_to_binary/1 instead.

An incorrect spec, rpc:yield/1, has been fixed.

The efile driver will now use chunked data on list_dir. This will
lessen the number of sends to prim_file and hence improve
performance. This method is utilized in both direct and async cases.
|
|
An experimental version of Dialyzer discovered that the atom that
replaced the DRV macro in prim_file ends up in calls to
erlang:open_port({spawn, Driver}, Portopts) as the Driver argument. The
documentation states that this call requires a string there.
This change is also consistent with the one introduced in commit
0f03b1e9d2bef3bc830c31a369261af4c5234727 by Kostis Sagonas.

In embedded mode, all on_load handlers will be called after
loading all modules but before starting any servers. Therefore,
if an on_load handler calls any function in the code module that
calls the code server (such as code:priv_dir/1), there will be a
deadlock because the code server has not yet been started.
Fix this problem by invoking the on_load handlers after
having started most servers in the kernel application.

Add an option that atomically tests for the existence of a file and
creates it if the file does not exist, by passing the O_EXCL flag
to open() on Unix and CREATE_NEW flag on Windows. Support for O_EXCL
varies across platforms and filesystems.
{ok, Fd} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]),
{error, eexist} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]).

Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern
for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to
maximize disk IO performance.
|
|
file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)".
This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not
update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for
example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to
increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write
operations compared to fsync.
More details on it at:
http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync
An example, from the MySQL source:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61
This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.

This is the public interface of prim_zip:open/3,
which has been used in earlier releases by both
erl_prim_loader and escript. The new function
can be used as a replacement for the undocumented
function escript:foldl/3 that is likely to be
removed without further notice.
The error handling of prim_zip:open/3 (and
prim_zip:foldl/3) has been improved in order to
better suite a public interface. For example it
could happen that a file or a zlib port could be
left open in some errors cases.
The documentation of the FileSpec parameter to
zip:create/3 has been updated to show that
file info can be explicitly specified. A FileSpec
may contain {Filename, binary(), #file_info{}}
elements. The function zip:create/3 was already
prepared to partly support this, but now after
a few minor fixes it is fully supported.

For example, if an archive (app-vsn.ez) just contains an
app-vsn/ebin/mod.beam file, the file info for the app-vsn and
app-vsn/ebin directories are faked using the file info from the
archive file as origin. The virtual direcories can also be
listed. For short, the top directories are virtual if they does
not exist.

An on_load function is supposed to return 'true' to indicate
that the module should be loaded, and 'false' if it should be
unloaded. But returning any other term, as well as causing an
exception, will also unload the module.
Since we don't like boolean values mixed with other values,
change the expected return value as follows:
* If 'ok' is returned, the module will remain loaded and become
callable.
* If any other value is returned (or an exception is generated),
the module will be unloaded. Also, if the returned value is
not an atom, send a warning message to the error_logger
(using error_logger:warning_msg/2).
The new interpretation of the return value means that an on_load
function can now directly return the return value from
erlang:load_nif/2.
