2016-10-10kernel: Add test pdict_SUITE:literalsSverker Eriksson
to get some coverage in beam_load.c:hash_internal_genop_arg().

2016-10-10erts: Improve hipe load/upgrade/purge machinerySverker Eriksson
A step toward better integration of hipe load and purge Highlights: * code_server no longer needs to call hipe_unified_loader:post_beam_load/1 Instead new internal function hipe_redirect_to_module() is called by loading BIFs to patch native call sites if needed. * hipe_purge_module() is called by erts_internal:purge_module/2 to purge any native code. * struct hipe_mfa_info redesigned and only used for exported functions that are called from or implemented by native code. A list of native call sites (struct hipe_ref) are kept for each hipe_mfa_info. * struct hipe_sdesc used by hipe_find_mfa_from_ra() to build native stack traces.

2016-09-24Let file:write_file/3 use writevNathan Long
Previously, this function would turn any input into a single binary before writing. This meant it could not take advantage of the `writev` system call if it was given a list of binaries and told to write with `raw` mode. To see this, start an erlang shell on the parent commit, and also start this dtrace script: https://github.com/evanmiller/tracewrite like this: sudo dtrace -s tracewrite.d -p $(pgrep beam) In the erlang shell, run the following: file:write_file("/tmp/tmp.txt", [<<97,98>>, <<98,97>>], [raw]). In the dtrace output, you will see that the system call used is `write`. Now repeat with this commit, and you will see that `writev` is used.

Extend file_SUITE:read_write_file/1 to test file:write_file/3 which was not tested at all. While we are it, remove the superfluous roundtrips tests of term_to_binary/1 and binary_to_term/1. Those BIFs are tested in detail in other test suites (for example, binary_SUITE in emulator_test).

2016-09-19Use more correct delimiters for erl_nif.h includeTuncer Ayaz
Anywhere but the beam sources we shouldn't #include "erl_nif.h", because what "erl_nif.h" does is: (1) fail to find it outside of -I dirs, (2) then treat it as if it was written like <erl_nif.h>. Using <erl_nif.h> skips (1). More information can be found in 6.10.2 of the C standard. Because the examples use "erl_nif.h", NIF projects in the Erlang ecosystem copy this verbatim and make the same mistake.

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

2016-08-29Fix 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.
