2014-08-14Refactor erl_epmd:names/1Luca Favatella
Simplify erl_epmd:names/1, keeping the same functionalities, relying on inet:gethostbyname/1 being able to handle both atoms and strings.
2014-08-14Accept inet:ip_address() in net_adm:names/1Luca Favatella
This change also simplifies the code avoiding a double (conditional) call to inet:gethostbyname/1 (in net_adm:names/1 and then erl_epmd:names/1).

file:file_info/1 was removed a long time ago, but its documentation was not removed.
2014-06-12Allow unsticking pre-loaded modulesBjörn Gustavsson
Commit ed06dd12ea74018b902a2c4c7924313d23cedb75 made pre-loaded modules (such as erlang) sticky, and also made it impossible to unstick them to prevent them from ever be reloaded. It turns out that there are tools that may want to instrument the erlang module (such as concuerror), so making it impossible to unstick modules is harsh. Therefore, revert the part of the commit that prevented unsticking the pre-loaded modules.
2014-06-04Make pre-loaded modules permanently stickyBjörn Gustavsson
Modules in the kernel, stdlib, and compiler applications are by default "sticky", meaning that the code server will refuse to re-load them. The pre-loaded modules (those that are part of the run-time system itself, such as 'erlang') are, however, not sticky. They used to be sticky a long time ago when the pre-loaded modules were part of the kernel application. Now they are part of the erts application. Since re-loading a pre-loaded module can be catastrophic (especially re-loading the 'erlang' module), the pre-loaded modules must be sticky. Furthermore, it should not be allowed to unstick them. The sticky_dir/1 test case in code_SUITE is never actually run and is broken. Rewrite it.
2014-05-26Teach code:del_path/1 to ignore superfluous slashesBjörn Gustavsson
The following sequence will NOT leave the code path unchanged: code:add_path("/some/app/"), . . . code:del_path("/some/app/") The reason is that code:add_path/1 will normalize the path name (removing the trailing slash), while code:del_path/1 does not normalize the path before searching for it in the code path.
2014-04-30kernel: Fix erts_debug:size/1 to handle Map sizesBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
2014-04-11Store expanded config in application_controller:change_application_dataSiri Hansen
If the Config given to application_controller:change_application_data included other config files, it was only expanded for already existing (loaded) applications. If an upgrade added a new application which had config data in an included config file, the new application did not get correct config data. This is now changed so config data will be expanded for all applications.

This change relies on the assumption that all arguments before the last -- to the parent beam should be left as they are.
2014-03-26ose: Implement tcp inet driver for OSELukas Larsson
The inet driver for OSE has to handle signals instead of selects and thus the wrappers for ready_input/output are a little bit different. However the majority of the inet code remains the same.

2014-03-20Introduce runtime_dependencies in .app filesRickard Green
Most dependencies introduced are exactly the dependencies to other applications found by xref. That is, there might be real dependencies missing. There might also be pure debug dependencies listed that probably should be removed. Each application has to be manually inspected in order to ensure that all real dependencies are listed. All dependencies introduced are to application versions used in OTP 17.0. This since the previously used version scheme wasn't designed for this, and in order to minimize the work of introducing the dependencies.

2014-02-28Delay patching of closures to eliminate a race conditionBjörn Gustavsson
The loader of native code tries to avoid race condition by bringing down the system to a single scheduler. Unfortunately, that will not completely avoid race conditions beacuse other processes may still run while the code is being loaded. Therefore, we must still make sure that native code has been fully fixed up before it can be executed. Under unlucky circumstances, it was possible for the global name register process to call a fun in native code before the native code for the fun had been fully fixed up. The run-time system would crash when running the not-fully-fixed-up code. Here is a way to make the bug 100% reproducible. First add this function to the 'global' module: silly_looper(List) -> lists:foreach(fun(E) -> put(any_atom, E) end, List), silly_looper(List). Then insert the following code at the beginning of the init/1 function in the 'global' module: spawn_link(fun() -> silly_looper(lists:seq(1, 100)) end), The run-time system will crash during start up when the native code for the 'global' module is being loaded. What will happen is that lists:foreach/2 (which runs in native code) will call the native code for the fun in silly_looper/1 before the reference to 'any_atom' has been changed from a 0 to the proper tagged atom value. The put/2 BIF will exit when attempting to calculate the hash value for the illegal value 0 (it is not properly tagged). To eliminate this race condition, we must delay patching the native code addresses for a fun into the fun entry until the native code has been fully fixed up. We will use the new BIFs introduced in the previous commit. While we are at it, we will also make sure that we erase any temporary variables in the process dictionary used by the hipe_unified_loader module.
2014-02-28hipe: Break apart hipe_bif:make_fe/3 into two BIFsBjörn Gustavsson
This commit is a preparation for eliminating a race condition loading the native code for modules whose BEAM code has already been loaded. Here we introduce two new BIFs so that looking up a fun entry is separate from setting the native address in the fun entry.
2014-02-23Deprecate pre-defined built-in typesHans Bolinder
The types array(), dict(), digraph(), gb_set(), gb_tree(), queue(), set(), and tid() have been deprecated. They will be removed in OTP 18.0. Instead the types array:array(), dict:dict(), digraph:graph(), gb_set:set(), gb_tree:tree(), queue:queue(), sets:set(), and ets:tid() can be used. (Note: it has always been necessary to use ets:tid().) It is allowed in OTP 17.0 to locally re-define the types array(), dict(), and so on. New types array:array/1, dict:dict/2, gb_sets:set/1, gb_trees:tree/2, queue:queue/1, and sets:set/1 have been added.

2014-02-12Update appups and appup tests for kernel, stdlib and saslSiri Hansen
Appups now only support one major release back, and the tests are updated accordingly. Support is also added in tests for giving previous releases in a ct config file, e.g. {otp_releases,[{r15,"/path/to/r15/bin/erl"}, {r16,"/path/to/r16/bin/erl"}, {'17',"/path/to/17/bin/erl"}]}.
2014-02-11Allow persistent option on set_env/4 and unset_env/3José Valim
An environment key set with the persistent option will not be overridden by the ones configured in the application resource file on load. This means persistent values will stick after the application is loaded and also on application reload.
2014-01-27erts/kernel: sendfile no longer uses async threadsLukas Larsson
This has been done because a slow client attack is possible if the async thread pool is used. The scenario is: Client does a request for a file and then slowly receives the file one byte at a time. This will eventually fill the async thread pool with blocking sendfile operations and thus starving the vm of all file operations. If you still want to use the async threads pool for sendfile an option to enable it has been introduced.

2013-11-15Add sync option to file:open/2Joseph Blomstedt
The sync option adds the POSIX O_SYNC flag to the open system call on platforms that support the flag or its equivalent, e.g., FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH on Windows. For platforms that don't support it, file:open/2 returns {error, enotsup} if the sync option is passed in. The semantics of O_SYNC are platform-specific. For example, not all platforms guarantee that all file metadata are written to the disk along with the file data when the flag is in effect. This issue is noted in the documentation this commit adds for the sync option. Add a test for the sync option. Note however that the underlying OS semantics for O_SYNC can't be tested automatically in any practical way, so the test assumes the OS does the right thing with the flag when present. For manual verification, dtruss on OS X and strace on Linux were both run against beam processes to watch calls to open(), and file:open/2 was called in Erlang shells to open files for writing, both with and without the sync option. Both the dtruss output and the strace output showed that the O_SYNC flag was present in the open() calls when sync was specified and was clear when sync was not specified.
2013-11-09Add os:unsetenv/1Martin Hässler
New BIF os:unsetenv/1 which deletes an environment variable and returns 'true'. Does not change any old functionality. Calls the libc function unsetenv(3) on UNIX and SetEnvironmentVariableW(key, NULL) on Windows. The unicode support is the same as for os:getenv and os:putenv.
