2015-12-16Remove erl_prim_loader:get_files/2Björn Gustavsson
erl_prim_loader:get_files/2 was an optimization introduced before the SMP emulator (that is, before R11). The idea was to use the async threads in the efile driver to read multiple BEAM files from the disk in parallel. In a modern computer with the SMP emulator, loading a BEAM module seems to be more time-consuming than reading it from disk. To optimize loading we would need to load several modules in parallel. We could modify get_files/2 so that it would support parallel loading, but it is cleaner to first remove get_files/2 and then (in a future commit), introduce new functions to support parallel loading.

2015-12-16erl_prim_loader: Break loop/3 into two functions for readabilityBjörn Gustavsson
The deep indentation makes loop/3 difficult to read and maintain. Break out the request handling code into a separate function.
2015-12-16prim_file: Suppress a dialyzer warningBjörn Gustavsson
Kostis Sagonas pointed out that there is a dialyzer warning for constructing an improper list in the following clause: translate_response(?FILE_RESP_N2DATA = X, [<<_:64, _:64, _:64>> | <<>>] = Data) -> {error, {bad_response_from_port, [X | Data]}}; I don't want to change the code to somehow eliminate the warning. An improper list has already been constructed in the efile driver itself, and that would be difficult to fix. Therefore, tell dialyzer to ignore warnings for improper lists in translate_response/2.
2015-12-16Reduce the ludicrous number of arguments for eval_script()Björn Gustavsson
The compact wall of arguments makes it hard to see what is actually happening in eval_script(). Collect the arguments into a record.
2015-12-16Clean up handling of boot_varsBjörn Gustavsson
Expansion of $ROOT in paths are handled specially compared to boot variables. There is no reason $ROOT can't be handled as a boot variable. We can simplify the expansion of boot variables if we spend a little extra effort upfront collecting all boot variables into a map. Make the error checking for -boot_var arguments stricter. Only allow -boot_var followed by exactly two arguments to help users catch errors earlier.
2015-12-16Remove useless 'catch' in start_it/1Björn Gustavsson
The last clause in start_it/1 calls a function in some module. It goes to great length to catch any exception and pass them on unchanged, and if there was a normal return, it will just return the return value. It can been seen that the entire 'catch' construction with the reference trick is totally unnecessary.
2015-12-16Simplify get_flag() and get_flag_list()Björn Gustavsson
The get_flag/3 function which returns a default value if the flag doesn't exist, is implemented in terms of get_flag/2 which throws an exception if the flag doesn't exist. get_flag/3 is frequently used for the flags that don't exist, which means that means that an exception will be generated and catched for no good reason. Reimplement get_flag/3 so that it doesn't have to call get_flag/2 and catch an exception. Eliminate the get_flag/2 function by writing a special purpose function for the only time it's used, that is for retrieving the value for the -root flag. As a side-effect, we will get a nicer error message if there is something wrong with the -root flag. Similarly, simplify get_flag_list/3 and remove get_flag_list/2. We can also eliminate search/3 and use the lists:keyfind/3 BIF instead.
2015-12-16Clean up parsing and lookup of flagsBjörn Gustavsson
The handling of flags has been incrementally messed up over time, leading to convoluted code. Rewrite the parsing and lookup of flags. By using the appropriate data structures, the code will become simpler.

2015-11-12Fragmented young heap generation and off_heap_message_queue optionRickard Green
* 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.

2015-06-09Fix socket option {linger, {true, 0}} to abort TCP connectionsRory Byrne
Up until now, if {linger, {true, 0}} is set on the socket and there is data in the port driver queue, the connection is not aborted until the port queue is empty and close() is called on the underlying file descriptor. This bug allows an idle TCP client to prevent a server from terminating the connection and freeing resources. This patch fixes the problem by discarding the port queue if the socket is closed when {linger, {true, 0}} is set.
2015-06-09Add 'show_econnreset' TCP socket optionRory Byrne
An ECONNRESET is a socket error which tells us that a TCP peer has sent an RST. The RST indicates that they have aborted the connection and that the payload we have received should not be considered complete. Up until now, the implementation of TCP in inet_drv.c has hidden the receipt of the RST from the user, treating it as though it was just a FIN terminating the read side of the socket. There are many cases where user code needs to be able to distinguish between a socket that was closed normally and one that was aborted. Setting the option {show_econnreset, true} enables the user to receive ECONNRESET errors on both active and passive sockets. A connected socket returned from gen_tcp:accept/1 will inherit the show_econnreset setting of the listening socket. By default this option is set to {show_econnreset, false}. Note that this patch only enables the reporting of ECONNRESET when the socket is being read from. It does not report ECONNRESET (or EPIPE) when the user tries to write to a connection when an RST has already been received. Currently the TCP implementation in inet_drv.c hides all such send errors from the user in favour of returning {error, close}. A separate patch will be needed to enable the reporting of such errors.

2015-05-12Fix gen_tcp:shutdown/2 by making it asynchronousRory Byrne
If the driver queue is empty, or the user is requesting a 'read' shutdown, then the shutdown() syscall is performed synchronously, as per the old version of shutdown/2. However, if the user is requesting a 'write' or 'read_write' shutdown, and there is data in the driver queue for the socket, then the shutdown() syscall is delayed and handled asynchronously when the driver queue is written out. This version of shutdown solves a number of issues with the old version. The two main solutions it offers are: * It doesn't block when the TCP peer is idle or slow. This is the expected behaviour when shutdown() is called: the caller needs to be able to continue reading from the socket, not be prevented from doing so. * It doesn't truncate the output. The current version of gen_tcp:shutdown/2 will truncate any outbound data in the driver queue after about 10 seconds if the TCP peer is idle of slow. Worse yet, it doesn't even inform anyone that the data has been truncated: 'ok' is returned to the caller; and a FIN rather than an RST is sent to the TCP peer. For a detailed description of all the problems with the old version of shutdown, please see the EEP Light that was written to justify this patch.
