* sv/socket-error-portability:
inet_drv.c: Remove red herring
use macro to portably test for socket system call errors
OTP-8654 sv/socket-error-portability
On some combination of Montavista Linux on Cavium Octeon processors, some
socket-related system calls returned other numbers than -1 for errors. This
caused a core dump in inet_drv.c. Now the code works around this problem.

Remove redundant "!defined(__WIN32__)". It is used inside
the #else branch of a "#ifdef __WIN32__", so it serves no
useful purpose except to fool unsuspecting readers.

On some combinations of Montavista Linux running on Cavium Octeon
chips, some socket-related system calls erroneously return negative
numbers other than -1 to indicate errors, but inet_drv.c specifically
compares against -1 to test for errors. The result is that beam dumps
core due to the code treating these negative numbers as success
indicators, as counts/offsets of bytes written, etc. thereby
corrupting its own internal data structures.
To fix this, introduce a portability macro to test the result of
socket system calls. The test remains unchanged on Windows but for
other platforms the macro considers all return values that are less
than zero to be errors.
Though POSIX specifies that errors from these system calls are
indicated by a return value of -1, treating all negative return values
as errors is also safe, as described in detail below. In networking
programming, treating all negative return values from system calls as
errors is very common practice -- see the examples in W. Richard
Stevens's popular and highly lauded network programming books, for
example.
For system calls that return 0 to indicate success, treating all
negative numbers as errors is safe because only 0 is specified to
indicate success. These include:
getsockname
getpeername
getsockopt
gethostname
bind
listen
connect
close
shutdown
Likewise, for system calls that return non-negative numbers to
indicate success, treating all negative numbers as errors is also
safe. These functions typically return signed integers of type
ssize_t, and they treat any parameters of type size_t that cannot fit
within the ssize_t return value, such as numbers of bytes to read or
write, as errors (specifically EINVAL). For example, in the "ERRORS"
section of the man page for writev from several varieties of Linux, it
states that EINVAL is returned when the total length of the I/O is
more than can be expressed by the ssize_t return value.
These calls include:
recv
recvfrom
recvmsg
writev
send
sendto
sendmsg
Finaly, the socket() system call is also similar to these in that it
returns a signed type (int) with all non-negative return values
indicating success, so treating all negative return values as errors
is safe.

* fm/file-operations:
Update preloaded modules
Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadvise
Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents only
sys.h: Correct the get_int64() macro
OTP-8637 fm/file-operations
The functions file:advise/4 and file:datasync/1 have been added. (Thanks to
Filipe David Manana.)

A misbehaving port program that does not read all data written to the port
may deadlock the scheduler thread when it calls port_close. The chosen solution
was to use the new function CancelIoEx if it exist (Vista) otherwise let the
spawn driver wait for a short while (10ms) and then to spawn a thread that will
wait for the port program to exit.

Add new NIF API functions
- enif_make_atom_len
- enif_make_existing_atom_len
- enif_make_string_len
These are basically the same as enif_make_atom,
enif_make_existing_atom and enif_make_string except that the
new functions require a length parameter instead of a
null-terminated C-string.

While binary_to_term/2 was added in R13B04, it wasn't auto-imported. This
conformed to longstanding policy of not changing auto-imports between major
versions. This patch contains changes to auto-import binary_to_term/2 to
coincide with the release of R14.

Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern
for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to
maximize disk IO performance.
|
|
file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)".
This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not
update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for
example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to
increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write
operations compared to fsync.
More details on it at:
http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync
An example, from the MySQL source:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61
This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.
|

The get_int64() macro has never been used (it was probably added
for completeness at the same time that put_int64() was added),
but it was not actually used and therefore it does not actually
work.
|
|
put_literal/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11 to
support literals, but before the R12 release support for literals
was implemented for all instruction, making the put_literal/2
instruction redundant. Although the beam_disasm module supports
dissambley of instructions in older releases, there is
no reason to have it support experimental instructions.
|
|
The last compiler to generate code that uses the bs_bits_to_bytes/3
instruction was the R11 compiler. Since we don't support loading
R11 *.beam files in R14, removing the remaining support for the
instruction.
|
|
Since R12B, empty tuples are literals. Thus the compiler will no
longer generate the instruction:
put_tuple 0 Destination
for creating an empty tuple. It is now time to stop supporting
that instruction in the run-time system.
While we are at it, correct a typo.

erts_poll_info_kp() [defined in erts/emulator/sys/common/erl_poll.c
via some name-mangling trickery] contains a code path that can end
up in an infinite loop, causing a livelock. There is a block of code
inside #if ERTS_POLL_USE_UPDATE_REQUESTS_QUEUE that is supposed to
iterate over a linked list of ErtsPollSetUpdateRequestsBlocks and
update two variables based on the sizes of these blocks. The bug is
that the loop forgets to advance the list pointer to the next element,
so if the loop is entered at all (the initial list pointer is non-NULL),
the thread falls into an infinite loop.
This patch, against R13B03 but applies fine to today's git, fixes the
bug by adding a statement to advance the list pointer in the loop.
All other loops over this list appear to be correct.
Thanks to Chetan Ahuja for the original report of a livelock problem
in erts_poll_info_kp().

* bg/opt-receive:

Move p_run/2 to test_lib
gen: Inline wait_resp_mon/2 to help the compiler optimize
OTP-8623 bg/opt-receive
reveive statements that can only read out a newly created reference are now
specially optimized so that it will execute in constant time regardless of
the number of messages in the receive queue for the process. That
optimization will benefit calls to gen_server:call(). (See gen:do_call/4
for an example of a receive statement that will be optimized.)
|
|
|
|
The recv_mark/1 instruction will both save the current
position in the message queue and a mark (the address of the
loop_rec/2 instruction just following the recv_set/1
instruction). The recv_mark/1 instruction will only
use the saved position if the mark is correct.
The reason for saving and verifying the mark is that
the compiler does not need to guarantee that no other
receive instruction can be executed in between the
recv_mark/1 and recv_set/1 instructions (the mark will
be cleared by the remove_message/0 instruction when a message
is removed from the message queue). That means that arbitrary
function calls in between those instruction can be allowed.
|
|
Make the recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions known to the
compiler and run-time system. For the moment, make the loader ignore
any occurrences of those instructions in BEAM files.
Also update hipe_beam_to_icode to ignore those instructions.
|
|
R12 nodes cannot load code that use the optimized receive that
we are about to implement.

construct the debug message. Truncate debug messages if they exceed
the size of the buffer.
