Do not call s2u() during alloc_size computation, since any necessary
ceiling increase is taken care of later by extent_first_best_fit() -->
extent_size_quantize_ceil(), and the s2u() call may erroneously cause a
higher quantization result.
Remove an overly strict overflow check that was added in
4a7852137d (Fix extent_recycle()'s
cache-oblivious padding support.).
Add padding *after* computing the size class, so that the optimal size
class isn't skipped during search for a usable extent. This regression
was caused by b46261d58b (Implement
cache-oblivious support for huge size classes.).
Add an "over-size" extent heap in which to store extents which exceed
the maximum size class (plus cache-oblivious padding, if enabled).
Remove psz2ind_clamp() and use psz2ind() instead so that trying to
allocate the maximum size class can in principle succeed. In practice,
this allows assertions to hold so that OOM errors can be successfully
generated.
Fix extent_alloc_cache[_locked]() to support decommitted allocation, and
use this ability in arena_stash_dirty(), so that decommitted extents are
not needlessly committed during purging. In practice this does not
happen on any currently supported systems, because both extent merging
and decommit must be implemented; all supported systems implement one
xor the other.
rtree_node_init spinlocks the node, allocates, and then sets the node.
This is under heavy contention at the top of the tree if many threads
start to allocate at the same time.
Instead, take a per-rtree sleeping mutex to reduce spinning. Tested
both pthreads and osx OSSpinLock, and both reduce spinning adequately

Fix zone_force_unlock() to reinitialize, rather than unlocking mutexes,
since OS X 10.12 cannot tolerate a child unlocking mutexes that were
locked by its parent.
Refactor; this was a side effect of experimenting with zone
{de,re}registration during fork(2).
The raw clock variant is slow (even relative to plain CLOCK_MONOTONIC),
whereas the coarse clock variant is faster than CLOCK_MONOTONIC, but
still has resolution (~1ms) that is adequate for our purposes.
This resolves#479.
Some applications wrap various system calls, and if they call the
allocator in their wrappers, unexpected reentry can result. This is not
a general solution (many other syscalls are spread throughout the code),
but this resolves a bootstrapping issue that is apparently common.
This resolves#443.
This works around malloc_conf not being properly initialized by at least
the cygwin toolchain. Prior build system changes to use
-Wl,--[no-]whole-archive may be necessary for malloc_conf resolution to
work properly as a non-weak symbol (not tested).
This is generally correct (no need for weak symbols since no jemalloc
library is involved in the link phase), and avoids linking problems
(apparently unininitialized non-NULL malloc_conf) when using cygwin with
gcc.
glibc defines its malloc implementation with several weak and strong
symbols:
strong_alias (__libc_calloc, __calloc) weak_alias (__libc_calloc, calloc)
strong_alias (__libc_free, __cfree) weak_alias (__libc_free, cfree)
strong_alias (__libc_free, __free) strong_alias (__libc_free, free)
strong_alias (__libc_malloc, __malloc) strong_alias (__libc_malloc, malloc)
The issue is not with the weak symbols, but that other parts of glibc
depend on __libc_malloc explicitly. Defining them in terms of jemalloc
API's allows the linker to drop glibc's malloc.o completely from the link,
and static linking no longer results in symbol collisions.
Another wrinkle: jemalloc during initialization calls sysconf to
get the number of CPU's. GLIBC allocates for the first time before
setting up isspace (and other related) tables, which are used by
sysconf. Instead, use the pthread API to get the number of
CPUs with GLIBC, which seems to work.
This resolves#442.
Rather than protecting dss operations with a mutex, use atomic
operations. This has negligible impact on synchronization overhead
during typical dss allocation, but is a substantial improvement for
extent_in_dss() and the newly added extent_dss_mergeable(), which can be
called multiple times during extent deallocations.
This change also has the advantage of avoiding tsd in deallocation paths
associated with purging, which resolves potential deadlocks during
thread exit due to attempted tsd resurrection.
This resolves#425.
Add spin_t and spin_{init,adaptive}(), which provide a simple
abstraction for adaptive spinning.
Adaptively spin during busy waits in bootstrapping and rtree node
initialization.
Simplify decay-based purging attempts to only be triggered when the
epoch is advanced, rather than every time purgeable memory increases.
In a correctly functioning system (not previously the case; see below),
this only causes a behavior difference if during subsequent purge
attempts the least recently used (LRU) purgeable memory extent is
initially too large to be purged, but that memory is reused between
attempts and one or more of the next LRU purgeable memory extents are
small enough to be purged. In practice this is an arbitrary behavior
change that is within the set of acceptable behaviors.
As for the purging fix, assure that arena->decay.ndirty is recorded
*after* the epoch advance and associated purging occurs. Prior to this
fix, it was possible for purging during epoch advance to cause a
substantially underrepresentative (arena->ndirty - arena->decay.ndirty),
i.e. the number of dirty pages attributed to the current epoch was too
low, and a series of unintended purges could result. This fix is also
relevant in the context of the simplification described above, but the
bug's impact would be limited to over-purging at epoch advances.
Instead, move the epoch backward in time. Additionally, add
nstime_monotonic() and use it in debug builds to assert that time only
goes backward if nstime_update() is using a non-monotonic time source.
Add missing #include <time.h>. The critical time facilities appear to
have been transitively included via unistd.h and sys/time.h, but in
principle this omission was capable of having caused
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ...) to have been overlooked in favor of
gettimeofday(), which in turn could cause spurious non-monotonic time
updates.
Refactor nstime_get() out of nstime_update() and add configure tests for
all variants.
Add CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW support (Linux-specific) and
mach_absolute_time() support (OS X-specific).
Do not fall back to clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, ...). This was a
fragile Linux-specific workaround, which we're unlikely to use at all
now that clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, ...) is supported, and if we
have no choice besides non-monotonic clocks, gettimeofday() is only
incrementally worse.
Avoid calling s2u() on raw extent sizes in extent_recycle().
Clamp psz2ind() (implemented as psz2ind_clamp()) when inserting/removing
into/from size-segregated extent heaps.
On OSX 10.12, malloc_default_zone returns a special zone that is not
present in the list of registered zones. That zone uses a "lite zone"
if one is present (apparently enabled when malloc stack logging is
enabled), or the first registered zone otherwise. In practice this
means unless malloc stack logging is enabled, the first registered
zone is the default.
So get the list of zones to get the first one, instead of relying on
malloc_default_zone.
847ff22 added a call to malloc_default_zone() before the main loop in
register_zone, effectively making malloc_default_zone() called twice
without any different outcome expected in the returned result.
It is also called once at the beginning, and a second time at the end
of the loop block.
Instead, call it only once per iteration.
Revert 245ae6036c (Support --with-lg-page
values larger than actual page size.), because it could cause VM map
fragmentation if the kernel grows mmap()ed memory downward.
This resolves#391.
Fix a fundamental extent_split_wrapper() bug in an error path.
Fix extent_recycle() to deregister unsplittable extents before leaking
them.
Relax xallocx() test assertions so that unsplittable extents don't cause
test failures.
