R12B-0 changed the signature of erts_gc_after_bif_call and it now
takes 4 parameters instead of 2 in R11B-5. Yet, the glue code was not
updated accordingly. As a result, the function erts_gc_after_bif_call
was called with garbage and would randomly cause a crash later in the
garbage collector code.
The fix consists in passing NULL and 0 for the third and fourth
parameters, since there is no term to add to rootset, recovering the
behaviour of R11B-5
(see otp_src_R11B-5/erts/emulator/beam/erl_gc.c, line 314).
(Includes assembly language fixes and code style improvements
suggested by Mikael Pettersson.)

Also made the SEEALSO link at the bottom of erl_nif.xml more "erlangish".

The make_term_n function in nif_SUITE.c created resources that never
got released, creating valgrind memcheck Definitely Lost warnings.

The scheduler wakeup threshold is now possible to adjust at system boot.
For more information see the `+swt' command line argument of `erl'.
|
|
Lower the scheduler wakeup threshold since schedulers aren't spuriously
woken as before (since commit 59ee2a593090e7d53c97ceba63cbd300d1b9657e).

On systems supporting getaddrinfo(), support looking up the MAC
address from inet:ifget/2. The results have the same quirks as with
Linux: if the MAC address is longer than 6 bytes (e.g., fw0 under
Mac OS X), the address is truncated; if the interface does not have
a MAC address (e.g., lo0), an address consisting of 0's is returned.

Added erlang:system_info(build_type) which makes it
easier to chose drivers, NIF libraries, etc based

Calling erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info) on platforms where no
CPU topology was found could result in a crash if other CPU
information had changed. This bug was introduced in the 'dev'
branch before R14B (commit 1b273b618002d65159453fdfb9520a9476e4423a).
That is, the bug has never been seen in a released runtime system.

* rickard/cpu-info-unbind/8765:
Fix erroneous error reports about unbind failure
|
|
On platforms where binding of schedulers is not supported, numerous error
reports on the form "Scheduler <N> failed to unbind from cpu -1: enotsup"
were erroneously issued. This bug was introduced in the 'dev' branch
before R14B (commit 1b273b618002d65159453fdfb9520a9476e4423a). That is,
the bug has never been seen in a released runtime system.

inet:setopts(S, [{linger,{true,2}}]) returned {error,einval} for
SCTP sockets. The inet_drv had a bug when checking the option size.

|
An assertion failed due to the thread library not being
initialized when initializing an rwmutex. This was however
harmless.
|
|
|
|
The CPU topology is now automatically detected on Windows
systems with less than 33 logical processors. The runtime system
will now, also on Windows, by default bind schedulers to logical
processors using the 'default_bind' bind type if the amount of
schedulers is at least equal to the amount of logical processors
configured, binding of schedulers is supported, and a CPU topology
is available at startup.

Building in a source tree without prebuilt platform independent

This has been solved by not building the SSL examples during a
cross build.

natively compiled modules
When loading a module, code area is allocated and header fields
code[MI_ATTR_SIZE] as well as code[MI_COMPILE_SIZE] are not
cleared. They are only set later when freeze_code is called, if the
module has attributes and compilation info, which should always be the
case. When loading a native module (as a stub), code is allocated as
well (to contain the stub functions), and code[MI_ATTR_SIZE] as well
as code[MI_COMPILE_SIZE] are not cleared either. Yet, freeze_code will
not be called (since there is no threaded code to freeze for native
modules), and as a result, these header fields are never set. They can
contain any garbage.
Later on, when writing a crash dump, the attributes and compilation
info are dumped, using these particular header fields. If the size is
garbage, the dump attribute function will iterate until it segfaults.
The fix consists in clearing code[MI_ATTR_SIZE] and
code[MI_COMPILE_SIZE] in both cases (threaded code and native
code). Even if non-native modules should contain code and attributes
and therefore the values code[MI_ATTR_SIZE] and code[MI_COMPILE_SIZE]
should be set by freeze_code, it seems cleaner and easier to maintain
to clear the whole the header in the "initialize code area"
section. As a result, crash dump will not segfault. Instead, native
modules will have an empty attributes and compilation info section in
the crash dump.

As reported in erlang-bugs, the following sequence of events crashes the VM:
1. Module M1 is loaded and in native mode.
2. Module M2 is not loaded, in emulated mode, and has an on_load function.
3. M1 calls some function in M2. This works.
4. M1 again calls some function in M2. This segfaults.
The reason for the crash is that when the beam loader fixes up export
entries after a successful on_load function call, it erroneously clears
the ->code[3] field in that module's export entries. This is redundant
(no code in beam relies on ->code[3] being NULL), inconsistent with
modules without on_load functions (there ->code[3] remains a valid beam
instruction after the module is loaded), and breaks native code which needs
the old ->address value in an export entry to remain valid after a module
load step (before the load ->address points to ->code[3], after the load
->address points to the real code but uses of the old ->address value
remain so ->code[3] must remain valid).
Thus the fix for the crash is to simply not clear ->code[3].
This patch fixes R14A and should also fix R13B04.
(There does exist a performance bug in this area, but it is unrelated
to the on_load feature so will be fixed separately.)

The HiPE runtime system has a hipe_bifs:get_hrvtime/0 BIF which
mimics the non-standard gethrvtime() C API. It's possible to
configure the implementation to use the "perfctr" Linux kernel
extension for performance-monitoring counters, in which case
get_hrvtime has very high precision and low overhead. Otherwise
it uses the same code as runtime(statistics).
This patch changes the get_hrvtime implementation to do a runtime
check to see if perfctr is available, and to use the fallback code
rather than returning a dummy value if perfctr is unavailable,
which is common.
The current dummy value return is a bug. It messes up the API
and either breaks callers (they get badarg when trying to compute
on the value) or forces them to implement checks and fallbacks
themselves. Timing code in HiPE's test suites and benchmarks
is known to be affected.
