2010-08-31Fix anomalies in epmd not yet reported as security issuesPatrik Nyblom
Use erts_(v)snprintf to ensure no buffer overruns in debug printouts. Disallow everything except port and name requests from remote nodes. Disallow kill command even from localhost if alive nodes exist. -relaxed_command_check when starting epmd returns the possibility to kill this epmd when nodes are alive (from localhost). Disallow stop command completely except if -relaxed_command_check is given when epmd was started. Environment variable ERL_EPMD_RELAXED_COMMAND_CHECK can be set to always get -relaxed_command_check.

* rickard/cpu-info-unbind/8765: Fix erroneous error reports about unbind failure
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

2010-08-30Initialize environment functionality after thread libRickard Green
An assertion failed due to the thread library not being initialized when initializing an rwmutex. This was however harmless.

2010-08-30Implement automatic detection of CPU topology on WindowsRickard Green
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.

Building in a source tree without prebuilt platform independent build results failed on the SSL examples when cross building. This has been solved by not building the SSL examples during a cross build.

2010-08-18Make it possible to reread and update detected CPU informationRickard Green
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.
2010-08-17erts: Remove broken elib_mallocBjörn Gustavsson
elib_malloc is an alternate memory allocator that is no longer possible to build.
2010-08-17erts: Remove the unused mem_drv driverBjörn Gustavsson
The mem_drv driver was only useful when elib_malloc was active.
2010-08-17erts: Remove stray pre-ISO-C compatibility macrosBjörn Gustavsson
A long time ago, the Erlang run-time system could be build with pre-ANSI/ISO-C (K&R) C compilers, but that is no longer possible. Remove the remaining uses of the compatibility macros that made it possible that possible.
2010-08-14erts: Remove unused decl.hBjörn Gustavsson
The header file erts/emulator/beam/decl.h is no longer used.
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.
2010-08-12Increase vheap counter to Uint64Björn-Egil Dahlberg
This will reduce the risk of integer wrapping in bin vheap counting. The vheap size series will now use the golden ratio instead of doubling and fibonacci sequences. OTP #8730
