2018-09-18Merge pull request #1857 from RaimoNiskanen/raimo/rand-crypto-xoroshiro928Raimo Niskanen
OTP-14461 - New 'rand' algorithm: Xoroshiro928** also for 'crypto' Implement a new 'rand' algorithm named 'exro928ss' and a new 'crypto' plugin for 'rand' named 'crypto_aes'. Both are based on Xoroshiro928** which is derived from Xoroshiro1024** modified to use 58-bit words for performance reasons in the Erlang VM. Xoroshiro1024** has got the Xoroshiro1024 generator and the StarStar scrambler from the 2018 paper "Scrambled Linear Pseudorandom Number Generators" by David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna. This generator and scrambler combination shows no systematic weaknesses in standard statistical tests as TestU01(BigCrush) and PractRand, unlike the previously used * and + scramblers in the 'rand' module that exhibit statistical weaknesses for the lowest bits. The 'crypto' plugin uses AES-256 as scrambler and the Xoroshiro928 as generator, which gives the same very long period and jump functions as for Xoroshiro928**, but a cryptographically secure scrambler gives absolutely no detectable statistical weaknesses regardless of how the generated numbers are used. The speed of 'exro928ss' is only about 30-50% slower than the default fast 'rand' algorithm, but the state is roughly the double and it produces about 8 times the garbage per iteration. The speed of 'crypto_aes' is about half (amortized) that of the default fast 'rand' algorithm which is fast and thanks to doing encryption in batches caching the result. Hence the state is much larger.

2018-09-07[supervisor] Add warning about race conditionSiri Hansen
ERL-724: "During a 'gentle' shutdown, supervisors unlink from their children before sending shutdown signals to them. This can lead to a race condition in supervision trees, when the timeout for gentle shutdown of a parent supervisor expires and it kills a child supervisor that has just unlinked from a child of its own, leaving the child supervisor's own child still running after its supervisor is killed." This commit adds a warning about this in the documentation.

This only touches functions that are not further manually enhanced in erl_bif_types. The hope is that this will allow dialyzer to discover more issues in code using maps.

2018-04-26[stdlib/sys]: install one debug function more times (#1781)Pouriya
Allow installing multiple instances of sys debug function This commit solves a bug which allowed installing {Fun,State} as sys debug function even if Fun was already installed. This happened in the case when the current State of the debug fun was undefined. Also, the new format {Id,Fun,State} of debug functions can be installed, allowing multiple instances of the same fun.
