This introduces a new sort of edata_t; a pageslab, and a set to manage them.
This is part of a series of a commits to implement a hugepage allocator; the
pageset will be per-arena, and track small page allocations requests within a
larger extent allocated from a centralized hugepage allocator.
Specify the maximum number of regions in a slab, which is
(<lg-page> - <lg-tiny-min>) by default. This increases the limit of slab sizes
specified by "slab_sizes" in malloc_conf. This should never be less than
the default value. The max value of this option is related to LG_BITMAP_MAXBITS
(see more in bitmap.h).
For example, on a 4k page size system, if we:
1) configure jemalloc with with --with-lg-slab-maxregs=12.
2) export MALLOC_CONF="slab_sizes:9-16:4"
The slab size of 16 bytes is set to 4 pages. Previously, the default
lg-slab-maxregs is 9 (i.e. 12 - 3). The max slab size of 16 bytes is 2 pages
(i.e. (1<<9) * 16 bytes). By increasing the value from 9 to 12, the max slab
size can be set by MALLOC_CONF is 16 pages (i.e. (1<<12) * 16 bytes).
The mallctlbymib_long helper was copy-pasted from mallctlbymib_short, and
incorrectly used its output variable (a char *) rather than the output variable
of the mallctl call it was using (a uint64_t), causing breakages when
sizeof(char *) differed from sizeof(uint64_t).
This allows setting arenas per cpu dynamically, rather than forcing the user to
know the number of CPUs in advance if they want a particular CPU/space tradeoff.
The commit introducing size checks accidentally enabled them whenever any safety
checks were on. This ends up causing the regression that splitting up the
features was intended to avoid. Fix the issue.
The existing checks are good at finding such issues (on tcache flush), but not
so good at pinpointing them. Debug mode can find them, but sometimes debug mode
slows down a program so much that hard-to-hit bugs can take a long time to
crash.
This commit adds functionality to keep programs mostly on their fast paths,
while also checking every sized delete argument they get.
The sized dealloc checks called the generic safety_check_fail, and then called
abort. This means the failure case isn't mockable, hence not testable. Fix it
in anticipation of a coming diff.
This gives more accurate attribution of bytes and counts to stack traces,
without introducing backwards incompatibilities in heap-profile parsing tools.
We track the ideal reported (to the end user) number of bytes more carefully
inside core jemalloc. When dumping heap profiles, insteading of outputting our
counts directly, we output counts that will cause parsing tools to give a result
close to the value we want.
We retain the old version as an opt setting, to let users who are tracking
values on a per-component basis to keep their metrics stable until they decide
to switch.
Previously, all tests with more than two levels came in powers of 2. It's
usefule to check cases where we have a partially filled group at above the
second level.
These simplify a lot of the bit_util module, which had grown bits and pieces of
this functionality across a variety of places over the years.
While we're here, kill off BIT_UTIL_INLINE and don't do reentrancy testing for
bit_util.
