2010-05-20Update preloaded modulesBjörn Gustavsson
2010-05-20Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadviseFilipe David Manana
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.
2010-05-20Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents onlyFilipe David Manana
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.
2010-05-20sys.h: Correct the get_int64() macroBjörn Gustavsson
The get_int64() macro has never been used (it was probably added for completeness at the same time that put_int64() was added), but it was not actually used and therefore it does not actually work.
2010-05-20Remove stray support for the put_literal/2 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
put_literal/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11 to support literals, but before the R12 release support for literals was implemented for all instruction, making the put_literal/2 instruction redundant. Although the beam_disasm module supports dissambley of instructions in older releases, there is no reason to have it support experimental instructions.
2010-05-20Remove the bs_bits_to_bytes/3 instructionBjörn Gustavsson
The last compiler to generate code that uses the bs_bits_to_bytes/3 instruction was the R11 compiler. Since we don't support loading R11 *.beam files in R14, removing the remaining support for the instruction.
2010-05-20erts: Stop supporting non-literal empty tuplesBjörn Gustavsson
Since R12B, empty tuples are literals. Thus the compiler will no longer generate the instruction: put_tuple 0 Destination for creating an empty tuple. It is now time to stop supporting that instruction in the run-time system. While we are at it, correct a typo.

2010-05-15fix livelock in erts_poll_info_kp()Mikael Pettersson
erts_poll_info_kp() [defined in erts/emulator/sys/common/erl_poll.c via some name-mangling trickery] contains a code path that can end up in an infinite loop, causing a livelock. There is a block of code inside #if ERTS_POLL_USE_UPDATE_REQUESTS_QUEUE that is supposed to iterate over a linked list of ErtsPollSetUpdateRequestsBlocks and update two variables based on the sizes of these blocks. The bug is that the loop forgets to advance the list pointer to the next element, so if the loop is entered at all (the initial list pointer is non-NULL), the thread falls into an infinite loop. This patch, against R13B03 but applies fine to today's git, fixes the bug by adding a statement to advance the list pointer in the loop. All other loops over this list appear to be correct. Thanks to Chetan Ahuja for the original report of a livelock problem in erts_poll_info_kp().
2010-05-12Merge branch 'bg/opt-receive' into devErlang/OTP
* bg/opt-receive: Test that gen_server:call/2,3 are fast even with a huge message queue erts: Add tests for the receive optimization Update primary bootstrap erts: Implement recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 for real compiler tests: Cover the error handling code in beam_receive compiler test: Test optimization of receive statements Optimize selective receives in the presence of a large message queue Introduce the new recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions Compile tests that communicate with R12 nodes with the r12 option Move p_run/2 to test_lib gen: Inline wait_resp_mon/2 to help the compiler optimize OTP-8623 bg/opt-receive reveive statements that can only read out a newly created reference are now specially optimized so that it will execute in constant time regardless of the number of messages in the receive queue for the process. That optimization will benefit calls to gen_server:call(). (See gen:do_call/4 for an example of a receive statement that will be optimized.)
2010-05-11erts: Add tests for the receive optimizationBjörn Gustavsson
2010-05-11erts: Implement recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 for realBjörn Gustavsson
The recv_mark/1 instruction will both save the current position in the message queue and a mark (the address of the loop_rec/2 instruction just following the recv_set/1 instruction). The recv_mark/1 instruction will only use the saved position if the mark is correct. The reason for saving and verifying the mark is that the compiler does not need to guarantee that no other receive instruction can be executed in between the recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 instructions (the mark will be cleared by the remove_message/0 instruction when a message is removed from the message queue). That means that arbitrary function calls in between those instruction can be allowed.
2010-05-11Introduce the new recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructionsBjörn Gustavsson
Make the recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions known to the compiler and run-time system. For the moment, make the loader ignore any occurrences of those instructions in BEAM files. Also update hipe_beam_to_icode to ignore those instructions.
2010-05-11Compile tests that communicate with R12 nodes with the r12 optionBjörn Gustavsson
R12 nodes cannot load code that use the optimized receive that we are about to implement.
2010-05-10Merge branch 'ms/epmd-error-checking' into devErlang/OTP
* ms/epmd-error-checking: Exit if an error occurs with the listening socket OTP-8618 ms/epmd-error-checking The empd program could loop and consume 100% CPU time if an unexpected error ocurred in listen() or accept(). Now epmd will terminate if a non-recoverable error occurs. (Thanks to Michael Santos.)

2010-05-04Merge branch 'ms/inet_gethost-safe-debug-output' into devErlang/OTP
* ms/inet_gethost-safe-debug-output: Truncate debug messages OTP-8615 ms/inet_gethost-safe-debug-output
2010-05-03Truncate debug messagesMichael Santos
When the undocumented ERL_INET_GETHOST_DEBUG environment variable is set to 5, very long hostnames can overflow the buffer used to construct the debug message. Truncate debug messages if they exceed the size of the buffer. export ERL_INET_GETHOST_DEBUG=5 inet:gethostbyname(lists:duplicate(5000,"x")).
2010-05-03allow open_port to set env vars containing a trailing '=' characterSteve Vinoski
The erlang:open_port spawn and spawn_executable directives can include an {env, Env} directive to set up environment variables for the spawned process. A bug in ert/emulator/sys/unix/sys.c prevented applications from using {env, Env} to set an environment variable whose value ended with a '=' (equal sign) character; the code mistook the trailing equal sign as an indication that an environment variable was to be cleared from the environment of the spawned process. For example, passing an {env, Env} of {env, [{"foo", "bar="}]} would result in the code in sys.c seeing a string of the form "foo=bar=" The code would see the final '=' character and assume the directive wanted to clear a variable named "foo=bar" from the environment of the spawned process, rather than seeing it as a directive to set the environment variable "foo" to the value "bar=". Fix this problem and add a new regression test for it to the port test suite.
2010-05-03Exit if an error occurs with the listening socketMichael Santos
Check errno if either select() or accept() returns an error and exit. This prevents epmd from looping and taking up 100% CPU.

In the erts/emulator/beam sources #ifdef SOME_OPERATING_SYSTEM should be avoided. Instead, call a function implemented in sys/OPERATING_SYSTEM/sys.c.
