some architecture like AArch64 may not have the open syscall, but have
openat syscall. so check and use SYS_openat if SYS_openat available if
SYS_open is not supported at init_thp_state.
`tcache_bin_info` is not accessed on malloc fast path but the
compiler reserves a register for it, as well as an additional
register for `tcache_bin_info[ind].stack_size`. The optimization
gets rid of the need for the two registers.
This change suppresses tdata initialization and prof sample threshold
update in interrupting malloc calls. Interrupting calls have no need
for tdata. Delaying tdata creation aligns better with our lazy tdata
creation principle, and it also helps us gain control back from
interrupting calls more quickly and reduces any risk of delegating
tdata creation to an interrupting call.
Specifically, the extent_arena_[g|s]et functions and the address randomization.
These are the only things that tie the extent struct itself to the arena code.
Added a new stats row to aggregate the maximum value of mutex counters for each
background threads. Given that the per bg thd mutex is not expected to be
contended, this counter is mainly for sanity check / debugging.
The bug is subtle but critical: if application performs the following
three actions in sequence: (a) turn `prof_active` off, (b) make at
least one allocation that triggers the malloc slow path via the
`if (unlikely(bytes_until_sample < 0))` path, and (c) turn
`prof_active` back on, then the application would never get another
sample (until a very very long time later).
The fix is to properly reset `bytes_until_sample` rather than
throwing it all the way to `SSIZE_MAX`.
A side minor change is to call `prof_active_get_unlocked()` rather
than directly grabbing the `prof_active` variable - it is the very
reason why we defined the `prof_active_get_unlocked()` function.
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.
With the cache bin metadata switched to pointers, ncached_max is usually
accessed and timed by sizeof(ptr). Store the results in tcache_bin_info for
direct access, and add a helper function for the ncached_max value.
