1. add tcache_max and nhbins into tcache_t so that they are per-tcache,
with one auto tcache per thread, it's also per-thread;
2. add mallctl for each thread to set its own tcache_max (of its auto tcache);
3. store the maximum number of items in each bin instead of using a global storage;
4. add tests for the modifications above.
5. Rename `nhbins` and `tcache_maxclass` to `global_do_not_change_nhbins` and `global_do_not_change_tcache_maxclass`.
Header files are now self-contained, which makes the relationships
between the files clearer, and crucially allows LSP tools like `clangd`
to function correctly in all of our header files. I have verified that
the headers are self-contained (aside from the various Windows shims) by
compiling them as if they were C files – in a follow-up commit I plan to
add this to CI to ensure we don't regress on this front.
For locality reasons, tcache bins are integrated in TSD. Allowing all size
classes to be cached has little benefit, but takes up much thread local storage.
In addition, it complicates the layout which we try hard to optimize.
Make the event module to accept two event types, and pass around the event
context. Use bytes-based events to trigger tcache GC on deallocation, and get
rid of the tcache ticker.
The -1 value of low_water indicates if the cache has been depleted and
refilled. Track the status explicitly in the tcache struct.
This allows the fast path to check if (cur_ptr > low_water), instead of >=,
which avoids reaching slow path when the last item is allocated.
This fixes a build failure when integrating with FreeBSD's libc. This
regression was introduced by d1e11d48d4
(Move tsd link and in_hook after tcache.).
This class removes almost all the dependencies on size_classes.h, accessing the
data there only via the new module sc.h, which does not depend on any
configuration options.
In a subsequent commit, we'll remove the configure-time size class computations,
doing them at boot time, instead.
This eliminates the need for the arena stats code to "know" about tcaches; all
that it needs is a cache_bin_array_descriptor_t to tell it where to find
cache_bins whose stats it should aggregate.
This is the first step towards breaking up the tcache and arena (since they
interact primarily at the bin level). It should also make a future arena
caching implementation more straightforward.
Simplify configuration by removing the --disable-tcache option, but
replace the testing for that configuration with
--with-malloc-conf=tcache:false.
Fix the thread.arena and thread.tcache.flush mallctls to work correctly
if tcache is disabled.
This partially resolves#580.
1) Re-organize TSD so that frequently accessed fields are closer to the
beginning and more compact. Assuming 64-bit, the first 2.5 cachelines now
contains everything needed on tcache fast path, expect the tcache struct itself.
2) Re-organize tcache and tbins. Take lg_fill_div out of tbin, and reduce tbin
to 24 bytes (down from 32). Split tbins into tbins_small and tbins_large, and
place tbins_small close to the beginning.
The embedded tcache is initialized upon tsd initialization. The avail arrays
for the tbins will be allocated / deallocated accordingly during init / cleanup.
With this change, the pointer to the auto tcache will always be available, as
long as we have access to the TSD. tcache_available() (called in tcache_get())
is provided to check if we should use tcache.
This fixes tcache_flush for manual tcaches, which wasn't able to find
the correct arena it associated with. Also changed the decay test to
cover this case (by using manually created arenas).
This is part of a broader change to make header files better represent the
dependencies between one another (see
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/533). It breaks up component headers
into smaller parts that can be made to have a simpler dependency graph.
For the autogenerated headers (smoothstep.h and size_classes.h), no splitting
was necessary, so I didn't add support to emit multiple headers.
