Currently HiPE amd64 assumes the runtime system code is loaded into
the low 2G of the address space. However, this is not the case when
PIE is enabled, it is loaded into a random location. So trampolines
are required to call BIFs, and also we have first to load the address
of sse2_fnegate_mask to a regisiter before xorpd in fchs.

particularly slow erlc when compiler is hipe compiled.
hipe_unified_loader:load did not patch external call sites
and instead caused a double hipe mode switch per call.
hipe_unified_loader:load is only used
for early modules first loaded as beam
and by code:atomic_load and friends.

OTP:13713: Add documentation and typespecs for inet:i/0
|
|
|
|
putenv(3) and friends aren't thread-safe regardless of how you slice
it; a global lock around all environment operations (like before)
keeps things safe as far as our own operations go, but we have
absolutely no control over what libc or a library dragged in by a
driver/NIF does -- they're free to call getenv(3) or putenv(3)
without honoring our lock.
This commit solves this by setting up an "emulated" environment which
can't be touched without going through our interfaces. Third-party
libraries can still shoot themselves in the foot but benign uses of
os:putenv/2 will no longer risk crashing the emulator.

In general, the new NIF-based file routines are faster than the old
efile driver.
However, on some computers, building the entire OTP system is somewhat
slower. It turns out that it is because 'erlc' cheated by turning off
the IO thread pool (using '+A0') to avoid context switches between
scheduler threads and threads in the IO thread pool. The new file
routines perform IO on dirty IO threads, and there is (by intent) no
way to force the operations to occur on scheduler threads to avoid
the context switches
What we can do to is to use a small (4Kb) read-ahead buffer for files
opened for reading (only) in list mode (which is how the compiler
opens its input files). The buffering reduces the number of context
switches between scheduler threads and dirty IO threads. On my
computer that seems to slightly speed up building of the entire OTP
system.
The buffer should do no harm. The only potential for harm I can
think of is random access to a file opened in read mode, where
the read-ahead buffer could slightly decrease performance. That
does not seems to be a likely use case in practice, though.

System resources/functionality may need to be reference counted
to be handled correctly when used or enabled/disabled from more
than one process or application.
It is easier to handle this in erlang code than in erts, so make a
process that deals with the housekeeping.

This improves the latency of file operations as dirty schedulers
are a bit more eager to run jobs than async threads, and use a
single global queue rather than per-thread queues, eliminating the
risk of a job stalling behind a long-running job on the same thread
while other async threads sit idle.
There's no such thing as a free lunch though; the lowered latency
comes at the cost of increased busy-waiting which may have an
adverse effect on some applications. This behavior can be tweaked
with the +sbwt flag, but unfortunately it affects all types of
schedulers and not just dirty ones. We plan to add type-specific
flags at a later stage.
sendfile has been moved to inet_drv to lessen the effect of a nasty
race; the cooperation between inet_drv and efile has never been
airtight and the socket dying at the wrong time (Regardless of
reason) could result in fd aliasing. Moving it to the inet driver
makes it impossible to trigger this by closing the socket in the
middle of a sendfile operation, while still allowing it to be
aborted -- something that can't be done if it stays in the file
driver.
The race still occurs if the controlling process dies in the short
window between dispatching the sendfile operation and the dup(2)
call in the driver, but it's much less likely to happen now.
A proper fix is in the works.

Notable functional differences:
* The use_threads option for file:sendfile/5 no longer has any
effect.
* The file-specific DTrace probes have been removed. The same
effect can be achieved with normal tracing together with the
nif__entry/nif__return probes to track scheduling.

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).

Various places that now reject null chars inside strings
- Primitive file operations reject it in filenames.
- Primitive environment variable operations reject it in
names and values.
- os:cmd() reject it in its input.
Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment
variable operations in environment variable names.
Documentation has been updated to document null characters
in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations
accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change
in the future.

Instead of crashing, ^D now exits Erlang if started with -oldshell.
