When an attempt to restart a child failed, supervisor would earlier
keep the execution flow and try to restart the child over and over
again until it either succeeded or the restart frequency limit was
reached. If none of these happened, supervisor would hang forever in
this loop.
This commit adds a timer of 0 ms where the control is left back to the
gen_server which implements the supervisor. This way any incoming
request to the supervisor will be handled - which could help breaking
the infinite loop - e.g. shutdown request for the supervisor or for
the problematic child.
This introduces some incompatibilities in stdlib due to new return
values from supervisor:
* restart_child/2 can now return {error,restarting}
* delete_child/2 can now return {error,restarting}
* which_children/1 returns a list of {Id,Child,Type,Mods},
where Child, in addition to the old pid() or 'undefined',
now also can be 'restarting'.

* siri/stdlib/dialyzer-log_mf_h/OTP-9754:
Fix dialyzer warning about gen_event callback init/1 in log_mf_h
|
|
The warning is about log_mf_h having a different spec for gen_event
callback init/1 than defined in gen_event.erl. log_mf_h allows return
value {error,Reason}, while gen_even only specifies successful return
values.
This commit add {error,Reason} as a valid return value to the
gen_event callback, since this is handled by the code.

Dialyzer complained over a mismatch between the callback spec of
Mod:code_change in gen_server and the spec of supervisor:code_change
(which is the implementation of a gen_server Mod:code_change).
This commit changes the callback spec to allow {error,Reason} as
return value. Also, release_handler is updated to handle this return
value.

OTP behaviour instances (gen_server, gen_fsm, gen_event) can currently
register themselves either locally or globally, and the behaviour
libraries (including gen.erl) support both addressing methods, as well
as the normal Pid and {Name, Node}.
However, there are alternative registry implementations - e.g. gproc -
and one can well imagine other ways of locating a behaviour instance,
e.g. on a node connected only via a TCP tunnel, rather than via
Distributed Erlang. In all these cases, one needs to write extra code
to identify the behaviour instance, even though the instance itself
need not be aware of how it is located.
This patch introduces a new way of locating a behaviour instance:
{via, Module, Name}.
Module is expected to export a subset of the functions in global.erl,
namely:
register_name(Name, Pid) -> yes | no
whereis_name(Name) -> pid() | undefined
unregister_name(Name) -> ok
send(Name, Msg) -> Pid
Semantics are expected to be the same as for global.erl
This can be used in all places where {global, Name} is accepted.

The two noncharacter code points 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF were not
allowed to be encoded or decoded using the unicode module or
bit syntax. That causes an inconsistency, since the noncharacters
16#FDD0 to 16#FDEF could be encoded/decoded.
There is two ways to fix that inconsistency.
We have chosen to allow 16#FFFE and 16#FFFF to be encoded and
decoded, because the noncharacters could be useful internally
within an application and it will make encoding and decoding
slightly faster.

Now, in child specification, the shutdown value can also be set to infinity
for worker children. This restriction was removed because this is not always
possible to predict the shutdown time for a worker. This is highly
application-dependent.

According to the supervisor's documentation:
"Important note on simple-one-for-one supervisors: The dynamically
created child processes of a simple-one-for-one supervisor are not
explicitly killed, regardless of shutdown strategy, but are expected
to terminate when the supervisor does (that is, when an exit signal
from the parent process is received)."
All is fine as long as we stop simple_one_for_one supervisor manually.
Dynamic children catch the exit signal from the supervisor and leave.
But, if this happens when we stop an application, after the top
supervisor has stopped, the application master kills all remaining
processes associated to this application. So, dynamic children that trap
exit signals can be killed during their cleanup (here we mean inside
terminate/2). This is unpredictable and highly time-dependent.
In this commit, supervisor module is patched to explicitly terminate
dynamic children accordingly to the shutdown strategy.
NOTE: Order in which dynamic children are stopped is not defined. In
fact, this is "almost" done at the same time.

In the current implementation of supervisors, temporary children
should never be restarted. However, when a temporary child is
restarted as part of a one_for_all or rest_for_one strategy where
the failing process is not the temporary child, the supervisor
still tries to restart it.
Because the supervisor doesn't keep some of the MFA information
of temporary children, this causes the supervisor to hit its
restart limit and crash.
This patch fixes the behaviour by inserting a clause in
terminate_children/2-3 (private function) that will omit temporary
children when building a list of killed processes, to avoid having
the supervisor trying to restart them again.
Only supervisors in need of restarting children used the list, so
the change should be of no impact for the functions that called
terminate_children/2-3 only to kill all children.
The documentation has been modified to make this behaviour
more explicit.
