2019-01-19reltool: Add load_dot_erlang rel optionMichael Truog
This adds a rel tuple to the reltool release specific configuration format as {rel, Name, Vsn, RelApps, Opts} to support the use of {rel, Name, Vsn, RelApps, [{load_dot_erlang, false}]} for preventing the insertion of {apply,{c,erlangrc,[]}} into the release script file and the release boot file. This change makes it possible to prevent releases generated with reltool from attempting to load a ${HOME}/.erlang file which is desirable for production deployment of Erlang, to have greater control of what BEAM evaluates. The ${HOME}/.erlang file lacks visibility and its location on the filesystem separate from where the release lives means it can be misused in a way that lacks visibility.

2018-03-21Implementation of true asynchronous signaling between processesRickard Green
Communication between Erlang processes has conceptually always been performed through asynchronous signaling. The runtime system implementation has however previously preformed most operation synchronously. In a system with only one true thread of execution, this is not problematic (often the opposite). In a system with multiple threads of execution (as current runtime system implementation with SMP support) it becomes problematic. This since it often involves locking of structures when updating them which in turn cause resource contention. Utilizing true asynchronous communication often avoids these resource contention issues. The case that triggered this change was contention on the link lock due to frequent updates of the monitor trees during communication with a frequently used server. The signal order delivery guarantees of the language makes it hard to change the implementation of only some signals to use true asynchronous signaling. Therefore the implementations of (almost) all signals have been changed. Currently the following signals have been implemented as true asynchronous signals: - Message signals - Exit signals - Monitor signals - Demonitor signals - Monitor triggered signals (DOWN, CHANGE, etc) - Link signals - Unlink signals - Group leader signals All of the above already defined as asynchronous signals in the language. The implementation of messages signals was quite asynchronous to begin with, but had quite strict delivery constraints due to the ordering guarantees of signals between a pair of processes. The previously used message queue partitioned into two halves has been replaced by a more general signal queue partitioned into three parts that service all kinds of signals. More details regarding the signal queue can be found in comments in the erl_proc_sig_queue.h file. The monitor and link implementations have also been completely replaced in order to fit the new asynchronous signaling implementation as good as possible. More details regarding the new monitor and link implementations can be found in the erl_monitor_link.h file.

2013-09-06Convert some notes.xml files from latin-1 to utf-8Björn Gustavsson
In the master branch, the encoding for most xml files have been changed from latin-1 to utf-8. The problem is, that the corresponding files in the maint branch still are encoded in latin-1, and that a merge from maint to master may bring in characters encoded in latin-1 into a notes.xml file declared to be in utf-8. To fix the problem once and for all (for the files involved), we'll need to re-encode the files files utf-8 in maint, and then merge to master. Noticed-by: Magnus Henoch
