2010-11-24Merge branch 'sverker/crypto_aes_ctr_cmac/OTP-8752' into devSverker Eriksson
* sverker/crypto_aes_ctr_cmac/OTP-8752: Fix nif_SUITE to not assume that it is the only one loading NIFs. crypto CTR support
2010-11-24Remove use of unreliable CancelIoEx on Windows.Sverker Eriksson
CancelIoEx has been seen to cause problems with some drivers. Also improve fallback solution to reuse existing handle-closer-threads.
2010-11-22ETS 'compressed' option.Sverker Eriksson
The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format (term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one extra word for "alloc_size").

Reader groups have been generalized to cpu groups which can be used for implementing reader groups, but also for implementing other functionality in the future.

When the runtime system had fewer schedulers than logical processors, the system could get an unnecessarily large amount reader groups.

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.
2010-11-02Be less eager to set dist entry in busy stateRickard Green
The runtime system is now less eager to suspend processes sending messages over the distribution. The default value of the distribution buffer busy limit has also been increased from 128 KB to 1 MB. This in order to improve throughput.

* 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.
2010-10-14Add Win32 support for hard and symbolic file system linksBlaine Whittle
Hard linking requires XP or later and a NTFS formatted drive. Symbolic linking requires Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or later. Symbolic linking on earlier versions of Windows will return {error, enotsup}. file:make_link/2, file:make_sym_link/2 and file:read_link/1 are all implemented. file:read_file_info/1 does NOT return the number of hard links on the file as this results in performance problems for read_file_info/1, however this can be enabled by uncommenting a few lines of code. The original path was submitted on 9/2/2009 by Alex Tearse-Doyle.

2010-10-12Fix erl_drv_tsd_get() and enif_tsd_get()Rickard Green
A bug in erl_drv_tsd_get() and enif_tsd_get() could cause an emulator crash. These functions are currently not used in OTP. That is, the crash only occur on systems with user implemented NIF libraries or drivers that use one of these functions.
