2018-03-10make erlang:process_info/1 not retrieve messagesMikael Pettersson
process_info/1 retrieves a number of properties related to a process, including the list of messages in its mailbox. This is potentially unsafe if the target process has a large number of queued messages: - there is no a priori upper bound on the amount of memory being allocated to hold that list, and - the loop to retrieve the messages is uninterruptible, so the Erlang scheduler where this executes blocks for the duration We've seen process_info/1 bring down heavily loaded nodes on more than one occasion. At least once it appeared to have blocked the Erlang heart process from executing, causing the external heart to kill the VM. Consequently this removes 'messages' from the list of process_info tags to retrieve for process_info/1. Note that process_info/1 still retrieves 'message_queue_len', and process_info/2 can still retrieve 'messages' when asked to. A few places in the OTP libraries need minor adjustments, since they want 'message_queue_len' but compute it from the length of the list of messages.

2018-02-26erts: Delay cleanup of removed tracer on dirty schedsLukas Larsson
It is not simple to do the correct de-allocation on a dirty schedulers, so we just delay it until this process runs on a normal scheduler.

Exclude garbing processes, EXCEPT if run by crash dumping thread in which case we assume the heap is healthy without any move markers yet/left. Switched order between (allocating) setup_rootset() and (move marking) collect_live_heap_frags().

A binary is a binary as long as its size in bits is evenly divisible by 8, regardless of whether it has a bit offset or not.
2018-02-15badarg on iolist_to_iovec(Bitstring)John Högberg
When supplied without an enclosing list, bitstrings were silently truncated to [] instead of badarging.

This has always worked but we lacked test coverage for it.

2018-02-13Use smaller inputs in iovec testsJohn Högberg
Huge inputs weren't particularly useful and took forever to run, so this commit winds it down to a more sane level that still causes lots of yielding.

2018-02-13Fix size of fmt_double()'s format_str[] bufferMikael Pettersson
fmt_double() may write up to 8 characters into its format_str[] buffer, which however only has room for 7 characters. This case could be triggered by a call to erts_printf_format() with any floating-point format that also includes #, and + or a space, which may be uncommon, but a nif or driver could issue it.

particularly slow erlc when compiler is hipe compiled. hipe_unified_loader:load did not patch external call sites and instead caused a double hipe mode switch per call. hipe_unified_loader:load is only used for early modules first loaded as beam and by code:atomic_load and friends.

Example symptom: 1> float_to_list(0.145, [{decimals,1}]). "0.2" There were two problems in sys_double_to_chars_fast 1. Most serious was adding 0.55555555 / (10^D) instead of 0.5 / (10^D) which imposed a 5.5% risk of a faulty rounding up. 2. Using fixpoint for frac_part which lost significant bits if F < 0.5
