2017-02-21kernel: Fix hanging os:cmd race conditionLukas Larsson
If the port terminates before Port ! close is issued, there will be no 'closed' reply, so the old code would hang. As it turns out there is no way to figure out if a closed reply is supposed to come as that reply is sent after all links and monitors are triggered. So we have to use the synchronous port_close to close the port.
2017-02-20kernel: Fail sticky_dir tc if module not stickyLukas Larsson
Running this test when for some reason stdlib has been unstickied could cause the emulator to die. So we check first to make sure that the expected files are sticky.

2017-02-03Store messages for 'rex' and 'error_logger' off heapBjörn Gustavsson
Performance for processes that receive huge amounts of messages can be increased by storing the incoming messages outside the heap (that avoids copying the message in a garbage collection). Two OTP processes that are known to receive many messages are 'rex' (used by 'rpc') and 'error_logger'.

Hardware watchdog support was removed from heart in R13A, but there were still some vestiges in the code and the documentation. - Remove mentions of the HW_WD_DISABLE variable, as it's no longer used. - Remove the HEART_BEAT_BOOT_DELAY variable, as it was only used for the hardware watchdog.

2016-10-31kernel: Add lost dependency to erts-8.1Sverker Eriksson
In OTP-19.1 (c70ca686fe269db6079a2ca1c7e09cdfc0cfa903) erts_code_purger:finish_after_on_load/2 was added and called by code_server.erl.
2016-10-27controlling_process can return {error, badarg}Péter Gömöri
For gen_tcp, gen_udp and gen_sctp controlling_process/2 can return badarg if erlang:port_connect/2 fails with badarg. This can easily happen if the new owner is not alive but in some race condition also when the socket is closed right before port_connect/2 (and after the previous socket function) This commit documents this behaviour.
2016-10-17Clarify permission bits in file.xmlMagnus Henoch
In commit 3d70cee4034e, this text was changed to suggest that a list of Unix-specific permission bits would follow, but no such list was added. Let's revert back to the previous wording, so people won't look for a list that isn't there.
2016-09-28Document the order of directories added with code:add_pathsa/1Siri Hansen
code:add_pathsa/1 reverts the list of directories when adding it at the beginning of the code path. The command line option '-pa' behaves in the same way. This is now documented.

2016-09-14Don't leak old code when loading a modules with an on_load functionBjörn Gustavsson
Normally, calling code:delete/1 before re-loading the code for a module is unnecessary but causes no problem. But there will be be problems if the new code has an on_load function. Code with an on_load function will always be loaded as old code to allowed it to be easily purged if the on_load function would fail. If the on_load function succeeds, the old and current code will be swapped. So in the scenario where code:delete/1 has been called explicitly, there is old code but no current code. Loading code with an on_load function will cause the reference to the old code to be overwritten. That will at best cause a memory leak, and at worst an emulator crash (especially if NIFs are involved). To avoid that situation, we will put the code with the on_load function in a special, third slot in Module. ERL-240

2016-08-29Perform check_process_code while process is executing dirtyRickard Green
2016-08-29Fix purge of codeRickard Green
Ensure that we cannot get any dangling pointers into code that has been purged. This is done by a two phase purge. At first phase all fun entries pointing into the code to purge are marked for purge. All processes trying to call these funs will be suspended and by this we avoid getting new direct references into the code. When all processes has been checked, these processes are resumed. The new purge strategy now also completely ignore the existence of indirect references to the code (funs). If such exist, they will cause bad fun exceptions to the caller, but will not prevent a soft purge or cause a kill of a process having such live references during a hard purge. This since it is impossible to give any guarantees that no processes in the system have such indirect references. Even when the system is completely clean from such references, new ones can appear via distribution and/or disk.
