2010-09-01Fix crash when calling erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info)Rickard Green
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.

2010-08-31Fix erroneous error reports about unbind failureRickard Green
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. Reported-By: Tuncer Ayaz

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.

2010-08-27Fix segmentation fault when dumping the crash log with hipe enabled and ↵Paul Guyot
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.
2010-08-27fix native code crash when calling unloaded module with on_load functionMikael Pettersson
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.)
2010-08-27robustify hipe_bifs:get_hrvtime/0Mikael Pettersson
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.

Calling erlang:system_info/1 with the new argument 'update_cpu_info' will make the runtime system reread and update the internally stored CPU information. For more information see the documentation of erlang:system_info(update_cpu_info).
2010-08-17Solaris/x86: Handle floating point exceptions properly in driver threadsBjörn Gustavsson
On Solaris/x86, the floating point exceptions bits seems to be propagated to child threads, so if scheduler threads use floating points exceptions, also driver threads will have floating points exception enabled. The problem is that erts_thread_init_float() has not been called for driver threads, and because of that matherr() will crash when called. Fix matherr() so that it will work even if erts_thread_init_float() has not been called. This fix was suggested by Mikael Pettersson.

2010-08-13fix hipe_bifs_alloc_data_2 to avoid "Yikes!" warningMikael Pettersson
It's been reported that HiPE-enabled Erlang VMs running on BSD systems sometimes generate messages like Yikes! erts_alloc() returned misaligned address 0x8016a512c These originate from hipe_bif0.c:hipe_bifs_alloc_data_2(). A native code module has an associated data area of some size and alignment. In the case where the size is zero, the alignment is irrelevant, but the allocation BIF checks it anyway. The warning then triggers on systems where malloc(0) returns blocks with less alignment than we (erroneously) expected. The fix is to simply skip the allocation in this case and return NULL. The loader won't actually use the address in this case so that's safe. This is also an optimization since it avoids allocating memory that cannot be used, and it avoids fragmenting the system heap with useless tiny blocks. A second problem is that the warning message failed to identify its origin. Fixed by prefixing the message by the BIF's name rather than the silly Yikes! string. Tested and confirmed to solve the original reporter's problem.
