2010-11-12Fix manifest filesDan Gudmundsson
It seems windows have updated manifest files in VS2010 which caused the erlang programs to contain duplicate requestedExecutionLevel entries, which is not allowed. This patch removes the microsoft entry, before adding our own which is known to work with XP and Vista.

2010-11-09Fix building error of SCTP in FreeBSD 7.1 and laterKenji Rikitake
This patch fixes building error of SCTP in FreeBSD 7.1 and later. See http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?2:mss:1257:200904:hppnfialjjdlgecdiehe for the details. R13A patch for solving a compilation error when building erts/emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c by Kenji Rikitake 12-APR-2009 Symptom solved by this patch: When building R13A in FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, the compiler flag HAVE_STRUCT_SCTP_PADDRPARAMS_SPP_SACKDELAY is NOT enabled. Some code in erts/emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c incorrectly assumes HAVE_STRUCT_SCTP_PADDRPARAMS_SPP_SACKDELAY is always true when HAVE_STRUCT_SCTP_PADDRPARAMS_SPP_FLAGS is true in config.h. This assumption causes a compilation error.

* sf/erts_de_busy_limit: Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limit
2010-11-02Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limitScott Lystig Fritchie
Id: OTP-8912 This patch creates a new family of flags with the "+z" prefix. It further creates a new configuration option called "dbbl" (which is the first letter of the name dist_buf_busy_limit). Example usage of this flag would be "+zdbbl 1048576". This patch creates an adjustable buffer limit for the amount of data that may be buffered by the erlang distribution code (in dist.c specifically). Before this patch, this hard-coded constant was used: #define ERTS_DE_BUSY_LIMIT (128*1024) When large binaries are transmitted between nodes (or simply a lot of medium-sized binaries), it is very easy to hit the old 128KB limit. Processes that use the erlang:system_monitor() BIF to monitor system events can be spammed by {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} message tuples at rates of tens to even hundreds of messages/second. A larger buffer limit will allow processes to buffer more outgoing messages over the distribution. When the buffer limit has been reached, sending processes will be suspended until the buffer size has shrunk. The buffer limit is per distribution channel. A higher limit will give lower latency and higher throughput at the expense of higher memory usage. A variation of this patch has been in commercial production use in at least two companies that the author is aware of. Larger buffer values can reduce the number of {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} system messages drastically, lower overall messaging latencies, and prevent false timeouts and 'nodedown' messages in extremely busy Mnesia systems. Test suite: there are two tests: a. In erlexec_SUITE.erl to test basic set & get of the value b. In distribution_SUITE.erl, to verify that setting +zdbbl very low will actually change behavior.

2010-10-20Fix hang in on_load handlers in embedded modeBjörn Gustavsson
In embedded mode, all on_load handlers will be called after loading all modules but before starting any servers. Therefore, if an on_load handler calls any function in the code module that calls the code server (such as code:priv_dir/1), there will be a deadlock because the code server has not yet been started. Fix this problem by invoking the on_load handlers after having started most servers in the kernel application.

2010-10-07Incorporate Michael Santos patch for cerl and gdb via emacsPatrik Nyblom
Michael Santos supplied a very nice patch that did set the annotation level correctly for gdb when run from cerl in emacs. The patch adds --annotate=3 to the gdb command line, which makes emacs parse the gdb output correctly, making the right source code be loaded in the emacs buffer. While integrating it, I removed my faulty code trying to do the same with hacky elisp commands. Michaels way is the right way to do it. Thanks!

2010-09-30fix 64-bit writes to 32-bit struct field in HiPE runtimeMikael Pettersson
In the HiPE part of the runtime system's Process struct there is a state field which is 32 bits wide even on 64-bit machines. There is a single instruction in the HiPE AMD64 runtime where this field is incorrectly written with a 64-bit store. Luckily the extraneous 32 bits are written as zeros to 4 bytes of tail-padding at the end of the struct, so nothing should have broken because of this. The same bug exists in the HiPE PowerPC64 runtime (in development), but on the big-endian PPC64 the effect is to write the actual value to the tail-padding and zero to the struct field, which potentially breaks TRAPs from BIFs (depending on BIF arities and how many parameter registers the runtime has been configured to use). Thanks to Paul Guyot for noticing the oversized write on AMD64.
2010-09-29Add corrected support for Solaris PTYs to run_erlRyan Tilder
Two related but slightly separate issues: run_erl doesn't support Solaris's /dev/ptmx device and run_erl didn't load the necessary STREAMS modules so that to_erl can provide terminal echo of keyboard input. This patch adds ifdef'd support for Solaris and derivatives to open /dev/ptmx directly since adding the C99 defines to CFLAGS breaks all kinds of other things in the build. It also adds ifdef'd ioctl calls to load the necessary STREAMS modules to permit termios to work.
