2016-04-07Update spec for rpc:pinfo/2Björn Gustavsson
rpc:pinfo/2 is documented as a location-transparent version of process_info/2. Therefore, it should be expected that the spec would allow calls with an item list, for example: rpc:pinfo(Pid, [initial_call,last_calls]) Report-URL: http://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-124 Reported-by: bjfish

2016-02-25kernel: Clarify heart optionBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Change scheduler responsiveness to 'check_schedulers'.
2016-02-25code: Add functions that can load multiple modulesBjörn Gustavsson
Add functions to 'code' to allow loading of multiple modules at once. code:atomic_load(Modules) will load all modules at once, or fail having loaded none of them. Since we cannot guarantee the atomicity if there are modules with -on_load functions, the list of modules must not contain any modules with an -on_load function. Also, to make it possible to put an application into an inactive state for as short time as possible, also add code:prepare_loading/1 and code:finish_loading/1. They are used like this: {ok,Prepared} = code:prepare_loading(Modules) . . . ok = code:finish_loading(Prepared) code:ensure_modules_loaded/1 is useful as a pure optimization to ensure that modules that will be needed soon have indeed been loaded. It will not reload modules that have already been loaded and it *will* accept modules that have an on_load function. Therefore, it does not make sense to give any atomicity guarantees. I did consider overloading the existing code:ensure_loaded/1 function, but rejected it because the return value is very different. Having different forms of return values depending on the types of arguments is confusing.

2016-02-02erts, kernel: Add os:perf_counter functionLukas Larsson
The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution timer that can be used to timestamp system events. It does not have monoticity guarantees, but should on most OS's expose a monotonous time. A special instruction has been created for this counter to further speed up fetching it. OTP-12908

2015-12-14Remove the code path cache in the code serverBjörn Gustavsson
In practice, it does not seem that code path cache can improve performance. Looking for any file that is not found will cause the cache to be rebuilt, which will negate any gain of using the cache.
