For a free fastpath, we want something that will not make additional
calls. Assume most free() calls will hit the L1 cache, and use
a custom rtree function for this.
Additionally, roll the ptr=NULL check in to the rtree cache check.
Nearly all 32-bit powerpc hardware treats lwsync as sync, and some cores
(Freescale e500) trap lwsync as an illegal instruction, which then gets
emulated in the kernel. To avoid unnecessary traps on the e500, use
sync on all 32-bit powerpc. This pessimizes 32-bit software running on
64-bit hardware, but those numbers should be slim.
The diff 'refactor prof accum...' moved the bytes_until_sample
subtraction before the load of tdata. If tdata is null,
tdata_get(true) will overwrite bytes_until_sample, but we
still sample the current allocation. Instead, do the subtraction
and check logic again, to keep the previous behavior.

Motivation:
This new experimental memory-allocaction API returns a pointer to
the allocation as well as the usable size of the allocated memory
region.
The `s` in `smallocx` stands for `sized`-`mallocx`, attempting to
convey that this API returns the size of the allocated memory region.
It should allow C++ P0901r0 [0] and Rust Alloc::alloc_excess to make
use of it.
The main purpose of these APIs is to improve telemetry. It is more accurate
to register `smallocx(size, flags)` than `smallocx(nallocx(size), flags)`,
for example. The latter will always line up perfectly with the existing
size classes, causing a loss of telemetry information about the internal
fragmentation induced by potentially poor size-classes choices.
Instrumenting `nallocx` does not help much since user code can cache its
result and use it repeatedly.
---
Implementation:
The implementation adds a new `usize` option to `static_opts_s` and an `usize`
variable to `dynamic_opts_s`. These are then used to cache the result of
`sz_index2size` and similar functions in the code paths in which they are
unconditionally invoked. In the code-paths in which these functions are not
unconditionally invoked, `smallocx` calls, as opposed to `mallocx`, these
functions explicitly.

generation of sub bytes_until_sample, usize; je; for x86 arch.
Subtraction is unconditional, and only flags are checked for the jump,
no extra compare is necessary. This also reduces register pressure.
- Make API more clear for using as standalone json emitter
- Support cases that weren't possible before, e.g.
- emitting primitive values in an array
- emitting nested arrays
In case of multithreaded fork, we want to leave the child in a reasonable state,
in which tsd_nominal_tsds is either empty or contains only the forking thread.
The global data is mostly only used at initialization, or for easy access to
values we could compute statically. Instead of consuming that space (and
risking TLB misses), we can just pass around a pointer to stack data during
bootstrapping.
The largest small class, smallest large class, and largest large class may all
be needed down fast paths; to avoid the risk of touching another cache line, we
can make them available as constants.
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.
Before this commit jemalloc produced many warnings when compiled with -Wextra
with both Clang and GCC. This commit fixes the issues raised by these warnings
or suppresses them if they were spurious at least for the Clang and GCC
versions covered by CI.
This commit:
* adds `JEMALLOC_DIAGNOSTIC` macros: `JEMALLOC_DIAGNOSTIC_{PUSH,POP}` are
used to modify the stack of enabled diagnostics. The
`JEMALLOC_DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_...` macros are used to ignore a concrete
diagnostic.
* adds `JEMALLOC_FALLTHROUGH` macro to explicitly state that falling
through `case` labels in a `switch` statement is intended
* Removes all UNUSED annotations on function parameters. The warning
-Wunused-parameter is now disabled globally in
`jemalloc_internal_macros.h` for all translation units that include
that header. It is never re-enabled since that header cannot be
included by users.
* locally suppresses some -Wextra diagnostics:
* `-Wmissing-field-initializer` is buggy in older Clang and GCC versions,
where it does not understanding that, in C, `= {0}` is a common C idiom
to initialize a struct to zero
* `-Wtype-bounds` is suppressed in a particular situation where a generic
macro, used in multiple different places, compares an unsigned integer for
smaller than zero, which is always true.
* `-Walloc-larger-than-size=` diagnostics warn when an allocation function is
called with a size that is too large (out-of-range). These are suppressed in
the parts of the tests where `jemalloc` explicitly does this to test that the
allocation functions fail properly.
* adds a new CI build bot that runs the log unit test on CI.
Closes#1196 .
The feature allows using a dedicated arena for huge allocations. We want the
addtional arena to separate huge allocation because: 1) mixing small extents
with huge ones causes fragmentation over the long run (this feature reduces VM
size significantly); 2) with many arenas, huge extents rarely get reused across
threads; and 3) huge allocations happen way less frequently, therefore no
concerns for lock contention.
Previously, we made the user deal with this themselves, but that's not good
enough; if hooks may allocate, we should test the allocation pathways down
hooks. If we're doing that, we might as well actually implement the protection
for the user.
The hook module allows a low-reader-overhead way of finding hooks to invoke and
calling them.
For now, none of the allocation pathways are tied into the hooks; this will come
later.
