Add initial support for dirty schedulers.
There are two types of dirty schedulers: CPU schedulers and I/O
schedulers. By default, there are as many dirty CPU schedulers as there are
normal schedulers and as many dirty CPU schedulers online as normal
schedulers online. There are 10 dirty I/O schedulers (similar to the choice
of 10 as the default for async threads).
By default, dirty schedulers are disabled and conditionally compiled
out. To enable them, you must pass --enable-dirty-schedulers to the
top-level configure script when building Erlang/OTP.
Current dirty scheduler support requires the emulator to be built with SMP
support. This restriction will be lifted in the future.
You can specify the number of dirty schedulers with the command-line
options +SDcpu (for dirty CPU schedulers) and +SDio (for dirty I/O
schedulers). The +SDcpu option is similar to the +S option in that it takes
two numbers separated by a colon: C1:C2, where C1 specifies the number of
dirty schedulers available and C2 specifies the number of dirty schedulers
online. The +SDPcpu option allows numbers of dirty CPU schedulers available
and dirty CPU schedulers online to be specified as percentages, similar to
the existing +SP option for normal schedulers. The number of dirty CPU
schedulers created and dirty CPU schedulers online may not exceed the
number of normal schedulers created and normal schedulers online,
respectively. The +SDio option takes only a single number specifying the
number of dirty I/O schedulers available and online. There is no support
yet for programmatically changing at run time the number of dirty CPU
schedulers online via erlang:system_flag/2. Also, changing the number of
normal schedulers online via erlang:system_flag(schedulers_online,
NewSchedulersOnline) should ensure that there are no more dirty CPU
schedulers than normal schedulers, but this is not yet implemented. You can
retrieve the number of dirty schedulers by passing dirty_cpu_schedulers,
dirty_cpu_schedulers_online, or dirty_io_schedulers to
erlang:system_info/1.
Currently only NIFs are able to access dirty scheduler
functionality. Neither drivers nor BIFs currently support dirty
schedulers. This restriction will be addressed in the future.
If dirty scheduler support is present in the runtime, the initial status
line Erlang prints before presenting its interactive prompt will include
the indicator "[ds:C1:C2:I]" where "ds" indicates "dirty schedulers", "C1"
indicates the number of dirty CPU schedulers available, "C2" indicates the
number of dirty CPU schedulers online, and "I" indicates the number of
dirty I/O schedulers.
Document The dirty NIF API in the erl_nif man page. The API closely follows
Rickard Green's presentation slides from his talk "Future Extensions to the
Native Interface", presented at the 2011 Erlang Factory held in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Rickard's slides are available online at
http://bit.ly/1m34UHB .
Document the new erl command-line options, the additions to
erlang:system_info/1, and also add the erlang:system_flag/2 dirty scheduler
documentation even though it's not yet implemented.
To determine whether the dirty NIF API is available, native code can check
to see whether the C preprocessor macro ERL_NIF_DIRTY_SCHEDULER_SUPPORT is
defined. To check if dirty schedulers are available at run time, native
code can call the boolean enif_have_dirty_schedulers() function, and Erlang
code can call erlang:system_info(dirty_cpu_schedulers), which raises
badarg if no dirty scheduler support is available.
Add a simple dirty NIF test to the emulator NIF suite.

WxWidgets (used by the wx application) also uses zlib. To
ensure that the run-time system and WxWidgets use the same version
of zlib, use the system's zlib if present.
Also, the system's zlib may be specially optimized and thus faster
than our own generic source code.
We only use zlib versions that are "good enough". For now, that
means 1.2.5 or higher.
Remove the option --enable-shared-zlib and add the option
--enable-builtin-zlib to force the use of the built-in zlib.

This is not a clean refactor. It changes the behaviour slightly
of E/WSTACK_RESTORE. The allocated stack from E/WSTACK_SAVE is used
as-is and not copied into default_stack. This will hopefully fix an
illusive memory leak that valgrind is reporting.

Passing cpu_topology or scheduler_bind_type to erlang:system_flag/2 results
in an error report warning that the argument is deprecated and is slated
for removal in erts-5.10/OTP-R16. Since we're already past that version and
no substitute approach has yet been decided for these features, keep the
deprecation warning but bump the removal version it mentions up to Erlang
18.

Since 3aa60cc `epmd -names` does not produce any output on Windows
anymore. This patch uses fwrite() instead of write() which adds the
necessary carriage returns to the output so that it is suitable for the
Windows cmd.exe.
A test case is added (fails on Windows without the patch).

gzio.c is our own replacement for zlib's gzopen() etc
(based on a version of gzio.c that was included in an old version
of zlib).
Unfortunately, gzio.c still depends on the *internal* zlib header file
zutil.h which is not supposed to be used outside of the zlib source
code. The dependencies are the use of the gzFile typedef and the
F_OPEN() macro.
Instead of gzFile, define and use our own ErtsGzFile.
To get rid of the F_OPEN() macro, call open() of _wfopen() directly.

If they are not open a really nasty race where the io pipe in
erl_poll got fd 0 and the fd_driver setting fd 0 to blocking
could occur. This caused the emulator to hang during shutdown.

Not sure why it was disabled for 32bit in the first place?
|
|
and rename it 'trapping'.
|
|
as we don't use it and instead have the feature to disable GC
during trapping BIFs.
|
|
We disabled GC (in 522a29666088d5) during trapping and don't need to
include the saved ESTACK as part of root set.

Recent versions of ncurses can be built with terminfo symbols
moved into the separate tinfo library.
This patch prevents erts configure from dying by adding the tinfo
library to list of termcap lib candidates.
