The erl_prim_loader:get_modules/{2,3} functions were introduced in
cd283583f8. Unfortunately, while the functions worked correctly, there
was a bug in that many garbage maessages would be sent to the
erl_prim_loader process. The number of extra messages depended on
both the length of the code path and of the number of modules that
were fetched. The messages were ignored and ultimately discarded,
causing no harm except for a performance degradation and increase of
the heap size for the erl_prim_loader process.
The following functions were hit by the performance bug:
code:atomic_load/1
code:ensure_modules_loaded/1
code:prepare_loading/1

Strictly speaking 'true' and 'false' arguments is not necessary,
but it should work if supplied.

Tune 'tclass' semantics

Normally, calling code:delete/1 before re-loading the code for a
module is unnecessary but causes no problem.
But there will be be problems if the new code has an on_load function.
Code with an on_load function will always be loaded as old code
to allowed it to be easily purged if the on_load function would fail.
If the on_load function succeeds, the old and current code will be
swapped.
So in the scenario where code:delete/1 has been called explicitly,
there is old code but no current code. Loading code with an
on_load function will cause the reference to the old code to be
overwritten. That will at best cause a memory leak, and at worst
an emulator crash (especially if NIFs are involved).
To avoid that situation, we will put the code with the on_load
function in a special, third slot in Module.

Ensure that we cannot get any dangling pointers into code that
has been purged. This is done by a two phase purge. At first
phase all fun entries pointing into the code to purge are marked
for purge. All processes trying to call these funs will be suspended
and by this we avoid getting new direct references into the code.
When all processes has been checked, these processes are resumed.
The new purge strategy now also completely ignore the existence of
indirect references to the code (funs). If such exist, they will
cause bad fun exceptions to the caller, but will not prevent a
soft purge or cause a kill of a process having such live references
during a hard purge. This since it is impossible to give any
guarantees that no processes in the system have such indirect
references. Even when the system is completely clean from such
references, new ones can appear via distribution and/or disk.

* lukas/erts/fix_init_stop_code_load_race/OTP-13802:
erts/kernel: Fix code loading deadlock during init:stop
|
|
When init:stop is called it walks the application hierarchy
and terminates each process. Some of these processes may do
something while terminating and sometimes that something
needs to load some new code in order to work. When this happens
the code_server could just be in the process of terminating
or the erl_prim_loader could be active. In both these cases
the request to load the new code would cause a deadlock in the
termination of the system.
This commit fixes this by init rejecting attempts to load new code
when init:stop has been called and fixing a termination race in
the code_server.
This however means that the process that tried to do something
when told to terminate (for instance logging that it is terminating)
will crash instead of loading the code.

The extra trace data has been moved to the opts map in order
for the tracer to be able to distinguish inbetween extra
trace data 'undefined' and no extra trace data. In the same
commit all opts associations have been changed so that if
the tracer should not use them, the key is left unassicated
instead of being sent to undefined. This should be give a
small performance gain and also makes the API easier to work
with.

A bad directory in the path would prevent the run-time system
from starting:
$ echo >foobar
$ erl -pa foobar
{"init terminating in do_boot",{load_failed,[supervisor,kernel,gen_server,file_io_server,filename,file,erl_parse,error_logger,code_server,erl_lint,proc_lib,code,application_controller,application_master,gen_event,application,error_handler,lists,heart,gen,file_server,ets,erl_eval]}}
Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...done
init terminating in do_boot ()
The reason is that when attempting to read each of the BEAM files,
there would be an 'enotdir' error which
erl_prim_load:get_modules/2,3 assumed was a fatal error.
Update erl_prim_load:get_modules/2,3 to ignore any error and try
the next directory in the path.

* lukas/trace-fix:
erts: Only allow remove from trace_status callback
|
|
Make it so that it is only possible to remove a tracer via
returning remove from an erl_tracer. This limition is put in
place in order to avoid a lot of lock checking and taking
in various places, especially in regards to trace events
happening on dirty schedulers.

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

OTP-13497
This trace event is triggered when a process is created from the
process that is created.
|
|
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.
