Run debug VM or config with --enable-lock-checking.
Exercise VM and then run
erts_debug:lc_graph().
to create a file "lc_graph.<pid>" in current working directory.

Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been
performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system
implementation has however previously preformed most operation
synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this
is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads
of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support)
it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures
when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing
true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention
issues.
The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due
to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a
frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the
language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals
to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations
of (almost) all signals have been changed.
Currently the following signals have been implemented as true
asynchronous signals:
- Message signals
- Exit signals
- Monitor signals
- Demonitor signals
- Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc)
- Link signals
- Unlink signals
- Group leader signals
All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the
language. The implementation of messages signals was quite
asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints
due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes.
The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been
replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts
that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal
queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file.
The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced
in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good
as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link
implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

d8d07a7593d811 that added the to_dis option to the compiler no longer
works when merged to master. That is because of 79f28cfd8df1b7
that removed some unused code in erts_debug.
Fix this by adding a new function erts_debug:dis_to_file/2 and
use it from compile module where we have access to the filename
(in beam_listing we only have an opened file).

The test case erts_debug_SUITE:df/1 in the emulator test suite is
about 4 times faster with this change.

This commit is just for debugging purposes, will probably be reverted.
It comes with a the erts_debug:copy_shared/1 BIF. If SHCOPY_DISABLE
is defined, SHCOPY starts disabled and is dynamically enabled the first
time that the BIF is called.

This commit introduces two BIFs:
* erts_internal:map_type/1
* erts_internal:map_hashmap_children/1
erts_internal:map_hashmap_children/1 is only intended for use within
erts_debug:size/1 since the internal hashmap node is not allowed to
leak anywhere.

Improve erts_debug_SUITE
Fix calculation of fun size in erts_debug:size/1
|

Funs would be calculated using erts_debug:flat_size/1.
