2016-04-15erts: Implement tracer modulesLukas Larsson
Add the possibility to use modules as trace data receivers. The functions in the module have to be nifs as otherwise complex trace probes will be very hard to handle (complex means trace probes for ports for example). This commit changes the way that the ptab->tracer field works from always being an immediate, to now be NIL if no tracer is present or else be the tuple {TracerModule, TracerState} where TracerModule is an atom that is later used to lookup the appropriate tracer callbacks to call and TracerState is just passed to the tracer callback. The default process and port tracers have been rewritten to use the new API. This commit also changes the order which trace messages are delivered to the potential tracer process. Any enif_send done in a tracer module may be delayed indefinitely because of lock order issues. If a message is delayed any other trace message send from that process is also delayed so that order is preserved for each traced entity. This means that for some trace events (i.e. send/receive) the events may come in an unintuitive order (receive before send) to the trace receiver. Timestamps are taken when the trace message is generated so trace messages from differented processes may arrive with the timestamp out of order. Both the erlang:trace and seq_trace:set_system_tracer accept the new tracer module tracers and also the backwards compatible arguments. OTP-10267

Verify with: erl -noshell -eval 'io:write(inet_res:lookup("localhost",in,a)),io:nl(),init:stop().' Prints: [{127,0,0,1}] Without this correction you will get [] on a hostname that works later after system start.

2016-03-30file_SUITE: Increase timetrap for large_write/1Björn Gustavsson
In 9870d22b2401b, the timetrap for large_write/1 was accidentally reduced from the default 30 minutes to only 1 minute. That is not enough for some older computers.
2016-03-30inet_SUITE: Handle {error,enoent} in simple_netns_openBjörn Gustavsson
Allow an open operation to fail with {error,enoent}. That will happen if the executable has compiled-in support for netns, but the computer has not been configured for netns.

2016-03-23file_name_SUITE: Improve handling of missing permission for link creationBjörn Gustavsson
On modern versions of Windows, creation of symlinks is supported, but our test machines usually don't have permissions for creating symlinks. Therefore, the has_links/0 that attempts to predict whether link creation will work by testing version numbers will not do any good. Refactor the code so that test cases don't fail when links cannot be created because of missing permissions.

2016-03-23code_SUITE: Skip on_load_embedded/1 if no symlinksBjörn Gustavsson
On Windows, we might not have permission to create symlinks. Skip the test case instead of failing.
2016-03-23gen_sctp_SUITE: Skip most SCTP test cases on Solaris before 5.12Björn Gustavsson
On old Solaris versions, many gen_sctp test cases fail. It is not clear whether the implementation or the test cases or both must be fixed. The number of failed test cases is a problem, as other failed test cases in the Kernel application might not be noticed. For now, skip most test gen_sctp test cases on old Solaris platforms, until the day that someone can mend the tests case and/or implementation (or test machines die). Keep a few smoke test cases.

2016-03-23gen_tcp_misc_SUITE: Clean up send_timeout{_active}/1Björn Gustavsson
Eliminate gratuitous use of funs. Don't limit the send attempts to 1000; it might not be enough. Rely on four minut timetrap to fail the test case if there will never be a send timeout error.

2016-03-16code_server: Normalize the pathnames for all loaded modulesBjörn Gustavsson
On Windows, the pathnames for modules that are loaded early are returned with mixed backslashes and slashes: 1> code:which(lists). "C:\\Program Files\\erl8.0/lib/stdlib-2.7/ebin/lists.beam" 2> Modules loaded later are fully normalized. When starting the code_server, normalize the pathnames for all modules that have been loaded so far.

2016-03-14Make distribution failures during start-up easier to readBjörn Gustavsson
When an attempt is made to start a distributed Erlang node with the same name as an existing node, the crash reports for several supervisors would be displayed. Only the first line contains useful information. The verbiage is annoying for old hands and could easily scare newcomers away for good. For all the common distribution failures during start-up, write a simple message and terminate the emulator using halt/1. Here is an example of what will be printed: Protocol 'inet_tcp': the name somename@somehost seems to be in use by another Erlang node

2016-03-11Don't throw exceptions from rpc:call() and rpc:block_call()Björn Gustavsson
The documentation for rpc:call() says: Evaluates apply(Module, Function, Args) on the node Node and returns the corresponding value Res, or {badrpc, Reason} if the call fails. What is not said that rpc:call() can generate an exception if the 'rex' process on the other node is killed: (kalle@host)1> Rex = rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, whereis, [rex]). <6937.14.0> (kalle@host)2> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, exit, [Rex,kill]). ** exception exit: {killed, {gen_server,call, [{rex,arne@host}, {call,erlang,exit,[<6937.14.0>,kill],<0.33.0>}, infinity]}} in function rpc:rpc_check/1 (rpc.erl, line 361) On the other hand, if the other node shuts down for some other reason, we'll get a {badrpc,nodedown} result: (kalle@host)5> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, halt, []). {badrpc,nodedown} There does not seem to be any reason to handle the two cases differently. If the 'rex' process is terminated on the other node, it will shut down shortly thereafter. Therefore, change rpc:call() and rpc:block_call() to always return {badrpc,Reason} is the call fails: (kalle@host)1> Rex = rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, whereis, [rex]). <6937.14.0> (kalle@host)2> rpc:call(arne@host, erlang, exit, [Rex,kill]). {badrpc,{'EXIT',{killed,{gen_server,call, [{rex,arne@host}, {call,erlang,exit,[<7126.14.0>,kill],<0.33.0>}, infinity]}}}}
