This can catch bugs in which one header defines a numeric constant, and another
uses it without including the defining header. Undefined preprocessor symbols
expand to '0', so that this will compile fine, silently doing the math wrong.
Continue to use ivsalloc() when --enable-debug is specified (and add
assertions to guard against 0 size), but stop providing a documented
explicit semantics-changing band-aid to dodge undefined behavior in
sallocx() and malloc_usable_size(). ivsalloc() remains compiled in,
unlike when #211 restored --enable-ivsalloc, and if
JEMALLOC_FORCE_IVSALLOC is defined during compilation, sallocx() and
malloc_usable_size() will still use ivsalloc().
This partially resolves#580.
Some architectures like AArch64 may not have the open syscall because it
was superseded by the openat syscall, so check and use SYS_openat if
SYS_open is not available.
Additionally, Android headers for AArch64 define SYS_open to __NR_open,
even though __NR_open is undefined. Undefine SYS_open in that case so
SYS_openat is used.
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.
Tracking extents is required by arena_reset. To support this, the extent
linkage was used for tracking 1) large allocations, and 2) full slabs. However
modifying the extent linkage could be an expensive operation as it likely incurs
cache misses. Since we forbid arena_reset on auto arenas, let's bypass the
linkage operations for auto arenas.
This avoids creating clean committed pages as a side effect of aligned
allocation. For configurations that decommit memory, purged pages are
decommitted, and decommitted extents cannot be coalesced with committed
extents. Unless the clean committed pages happen to be selected during
allocation, they cause unnecessary permanent extent fragmentation.
This resolves#766.
All mappings continue to be PAGE-aligned, even if the system page size
is smaller. This change is primarily intended to provide a mechanism
for supporting multiple page sizes with the same binary; smaller page
sizes work better in conjunction with jemalloc's design.
This resolves#467.
Some systems use a native 64 KiB page size, which means that the bitmap
for the smallest size class can be 8192 bits, not just 512 bits as when
the page size is 4 KiB. Linear search in bitmap_{sfu,ffu}() is
unacceptably slow for such large bitmaps.
This reverts commit 7c00f04ff4.
Rather than using a LIFO queue to track available extent_t structures,
use a red-black tree, and always choose the oldest/lowest available
during reuse.
Reverse the order of forced versus lazy purging attempts in
base_unmap(), in order to match the order in extent_dalloc_wrapper(),
which was reversed by 64e458f5cd
(Implement two-phase decay-based purging.).
Two levels of rcache is implemented: a direct mapped cache as L1, combined with
a LRU cache as L2. The L1 cache offers low cost on cache hit, but could suffer
collision under circumstances. This is complemented by the L2 LRU cache, which
is slower on cache access (overhead from linear search + reordering), but solves
collison of L1 rather well.
Previously we had a general detection and support of reentrancy, at the cost of
having branches and inc / dec operations on fast paths. To avoid taxing fast
paths, we move the reentrancy operations onto tsd slow state, and only modify
reentrancy level around external calls (that might trigger reentrancy).
Added tsd_state_nominal_slow, which on fast path malloc() incorporates
tcache_enabled check, and on fast path free() bundles both malloc_slow and
tcache_enabled branches.
With this change, when profiling is enabled, we avoid doing redundant rtree
lookups. Also changed dalloc_atx_t to alloc_atx_t, as it's now used on
allocation path as well (to speed up profiling).
This is a biggy. jemalloc_internal.h has been doing multiple jobs for a while
now:
- The source of system-wide definitions.
- The catch-all include file.
- The module header file for jemalloc.c
This commit splits up this functionality. The system-wide definitions
responsibility has moved to jemalloc_preamble.h. The catch-all include file is
now jemalloc_internal_includes.h. The module headers for jemalloc.c are now in
jemalloc_internal_[externs|inlines|types].h, just as they are for the other
modules.
This checks whether or not we're reentrant using thread-local data, and, if we
are, moves certain internal allocations to use arena 0 (which should be properly
initialized after bootstrapping).
The immediate thing this allows is spinning up threads in arena_new, which will
enable spinning up background threads there.
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.
With the tcache change, we plan to leave some blank space when !config_debug
(unused tbins, witnesses) at the end of the tsd. Let's not touch the memory.
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 will facilitate embedding tcache into tsd, which will require proper
initialization cannot be done via the static initializer. Make tsd->rtree_ctx
to be initialized via rtree_ctx_data_init().
Compact extent_t to 128 bytes on 64-bit systems by moving
arena_slab_data_t's nfree into extent_t's e_bits.
Cacheline-align extent_t structures so that they always cross the
minimum number of cacheline boundaries.
Re-order extent_t fields such that all fields except the slab bitmap
(and overlaid heap profiling context pointer) are in the first
cacheline.
This resolves#461.
Remove tree-structured bitmap support, in order to reduce complexity and
ease maintenance. No bitmaps larger than 512 bits have been necessary
since before 4.0.0, and there is no current plan that would increase
maximum bitmap size. Although tree-structured bitmaps were used on
32-bit platforms prior to this change, the overall benefits were
questionable (higher metadata overhead, higher bitmap modification cost,
marginally lower search cost).
For extents which do not delay coalescing, use first fit layout policy
rather than first-best fit layout policy. This packs extents toward
older virtual memory mappings, but at the cost of higher search overhead
in the common case.
This resolves#711.
A fixed max spin count is used -- with benchmark results showing it
solves almost all problems. As the benchmark used was rather intense,
the upper bound could be a little bit high. However it should offer a
good tradeoff between spinning and blocking.
Expand and restructure the rtree API such that all common operations can
be achieved with minimal work, regardless of whether the rtree leaf
fields are independent versus packed into a single atomic pointer.
This allows leaf elements to differ in size from internal node elements.
In principle it would be more correct to use a different type for each
level of the tree, but due to implementation details related to atomic
operations, we use casts anyway, thus counteracting the value of
additional type correctness. Furthermore, such a scheme would require
function code generation (via cpp macros), as well as either unwieldy
type names for leaves or type aliases, e.g.
typedef struct rtree_elm_d2_s rtree_leaf_elm_t;
This alternate strategy would be more correct, and with less code
duplication, but probably not worth the complexity.
Rather than storing usize only for large (and prof-promoted)
allocations, store the size class index for allocations that reside
within the extent, such that the size class index is valid for all
extents that contain extant allocations, and invalid otherwise (mainly
to make debugging simpler).
Split decay-based purging into two phases, the first of which uses lazy
purging to convert dirty pages to "muzzy", and the second of which uses
forced purging, decommit, or unmapping to convert pages to clean or
destroy them altogether. Not all operating systems support lazy
purging, yet the application may provide extent hooks that implement
lazy purging, so care must be taken to dynamically omit the first phase
when necessary.
The mallctl interfaces change as follows:
- opt.decay_time --> opt.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- arena.<i>.decay_time --> arena.<i>.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- arenas.decay_time --> arenas.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- stats.arenas.<i>.pdirty --> stats.arenas.<i>.p{dirty,muzzy}
- stats.arenas.<i>.{npurge,nmadvise,purged} -->
stats.arenas.<i>.{dirty,muzzy}_{npurge,nmadvise,purged}
This resolves#521.
Refactor most of the decay-related functions to take as parameters the
decay_t and associated extents_t structures to operate on. This
prepares for supporting both lazy and forced purging on different decay
schedules.
These were all size_ts, so we have atomics support for them on all platforms, so
the conversion is straightforward.
Left non-atomic is curlextents, which AFAICT is not used atomically anywhere.
I expect this to be the trickiest conversion we will see, since we want atomics
on 64-bit platforms, but are also always able to piggyback on some sort of
external synchronization on non-64 bit platforms.
This has the dual advantages of allowing for sparsely used large
allocations, and relying on the kernel to supply zeroed pages, which
tends to be very fast on modern systems.
In the process, I changed the implementation of rtree_elm_acquire so that it
won't even try to CAS if its initial read (getting the extent + lock bit)
indicates that the CAS is doomed to fail. This can significantly improve
performance under contention.
The new feature, opt.percpu_arena, determines thread-arena association
dynamically based CPU id. Three modes are supported: "percpu", "phycpu"
and disabled.
"percpu" uses the current core id (with help from sched_getcpu())
directly as the arena index, while "phycpu" will assign threads on the
same physical CPU to the same arena. In other words, "percpu" means # of
arenas == # of CPUs, while "phycpu" has # of arenas == 1/2 * (# of
CPUs). Note that no runtime check on whether hyper threading is enabled
is added yet.
When enabled, threads will be migrated between arenas when a CPU change
is detected. In the current design, to reduce overhead from reading CPU
id, each arena tracks the thread accessed most recently. When a new
thread comes in, we will read CPU id and update arena if necessary.
When witness is enabled, lock rank order needs to be preserved during
prefork, not only for each arena, but also across arenas. This change
breaks arena_prefork into further stages to ensure valid rank order
across arenas. Also changed test/unit/fork to use a manual arena to
catch this case.
In the process, we can do some strength reduction, changing the fetch-adds and
fetch-subs to be simple loads followed by stores, since the modifications all
occur while holding the mutex.
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 simplifies what would be pairing heap operations to the equivalent
of LIFO queue operations. This is a complementary optimization in the
context of delayed coalescing for cached extents.
Rather than purging uncoalesced extents, perform just enough incremental
coalescing to purge only fully coalesced extents. In the absence of
cached extent reuse, the immediate versus delayed incremental purging
algorithms result in the same purge order.
This resolves#655.
This is the first header refactoring diff, #533. It splits the assert and util
components into separate, hermetic, header files. In the process, it splits out
two of the large sub-components of util (the stdio.h replacement, and bit
manipulation routines) into their own components (malloc_io.h and bit_util.h).
This is mostly to break up cyclic dependencies, but it also breaks off a good
chunk of the catch-all-ness of util, which is nice.
Convert the nrequests field to be partially derived, and the curlextents
to be fully derived, in order to reduce the number of stats updates
needed during common operations.
This change affects ndalloc stats during arena reset, because it is no
longer possible to cancel out ndalloc effects (curlextents would become
negative).
This introduces a backport of C11 atomics. It has four implementations; ranked
in order of preference, they are:
- GCC/Clang __atomic builtins
- GCC/Clang __sync builtins
- MSVC _Interlocked builtins
- C11 atomics, from <stdatomic.h>
The primary advantages are:
- Close adherence to the standard API gives us a defined memory model.
- Type safety: atomic objects are now separate types from non-atomic ones, so
that it's impossible to mix up atomic and non-atomic updates (which is
undefined behavior that compilers are starting to take advantage of).
- Efficiency: we can specify ordering for operations, avoiding fences and
atomic operations on strongly ordered architectures (example:
`atomic_write_u32(ptr, val);` involves a CAS loop, whereas
`atomic_store(ptr, val, ATOMIC_RELEASE);` is a plain store.
This diff leaves in the current atomics API (implementing them in terms of the
backport). This lets us transition uses over piecemeal.
Testing:
This is by nature hard to test. I've manually tested the first three options on
Linux on gcc by futzing with the #defines manually, on freebsd with gcc and
clang, on MSVC, and on OS X with clang. All of these were x86 machines though,
and we don't have any test infrastructure set up for non-x86 platforms.
Remove obsolete unit test scaffolding for extent quantization. Remove
redundant assertions. Add an assertion to
extents_first_best_fit_locked() that should help prevent aligned
allocation regressions.
Extent splitting and coalescing is a major component of large allocation
overhead, and disabling coalescing of cached extents provides a simple
and effective hysteresis mechanism. Once two-phase purging is
implemented, it will probably make sense to leave coalescing disabled
for the first phase, but coalesce during the second phase.
This avoids a gcc diagnostic note:
note: The ABI for passing parameters with 64-byte alignment has
changed in GCC 4.6
This note related to the cacheline alignment of rtree_ctx_t, which was
introduced by 4a346f5593 (Replace rtree
path cache with LRU cache.).
Fix extent_alloc_dss() to account for bytes that are not a multiple of
the page size. This regression was introduced by
577d4572b0 (Make dss operations
lockless.), which was first released in 4.3.0.
Rather than dynamically building a table to aid per level computations,
define a constant table at compile time. Omit both high and low
insignificant bits. Use one to three tree levels, depending on the
number of significant bits.
Read adjacent rtree elements while holding element locks, since the
extents mutex only protects against relevant like-state extent mutation.
Fix management of the 'coalesced' loop state variable to merge
forward/backward results, rather than overwriting the result of forward
coalescing if attempting to coalesce backward. In practice this caused
no correctness issues, but could cause extra iterations in rare cases.
These regressions were introduced by
d27f29b468 (Disentangle arena and extent
locking.).
Set extent as active prior to registration so that other threads can't
modify it in the absence of locking.
This regression was introduced by
d27f29b468 (Disentangle arena and extent
locking.), via non-obvious means. Removal of extents_mtx protection
during extent_grow_retained() execution opened up the race, but in the
presence of that locking, the code was safe.
This resolves#599.
Fix compute_size_with_overflow() to use a high_bits mask that has the
high bits set, rather than the low bits. This regression was introduced
by 5154ff32ee (Unify the allocation
paths).
Refactor arena and extent locking protocols such that arena and
extent locks are never held when calling into the extent_*_wrapper()
API. This requires extra care during purging since the arena lock no
longer protects the inner purging logic. It also requires extra care to
protect extents from being merged with adjacent extents.
Convert extent_t's 'active' flag to an enumerated 'state', so that
retained extents are explicitly marked as such, rather than depending on
ring linkage state.
Refactor the extent collections (and their synchronization) for cached
and retained extents into extents_t. Incorporate LRU functionality to
support purging. Incorporate page count accounting, which replaces
arena->ndirty and arena->stats.retained.
Assert that no core locks are held when entering any internal
[de]allocation functions. This is in addition to existing assertions
that no locks are held when entering external [de]allocation functions.
Audit and document synchronization protocols for all arena_t fields.
This fixes a potential deadlock due to recursive allocation during
gdump, in a similar fashion to b49c649bc1
(Fix lock order reversal during gdump.), but with a necessarily much
broader code impact.
Synchronize tcaches with tcaches_mtx rather than ctl_mtx. Add missing
synchronization for tcache flushing. This bug was introduced by
1cb181ed63 (Implement explicit tcache
support.), which was first released in 4.0.0.
This reduces the probability of allocating (and thereby indirectly
making a system call) while owning bt2gctx_mtx. Unfortunately it is an
incomplete solution, because ckh insertion/deletion can also
allocate/deallocate, which requires more extensive changes to address.
When multiple threads calling stats_print, race could happen as we read the
counters in separate mallctl calls; and the removed assertion could fail when
other operations happened in between the mallctl calls. For simplicity, output
"race" in the utilization field in this case.
In the refactoring that unified the allocation paths, usize was substituted for
size. This worked fine under the default test configuration, but triggered
asserts when we started beefing up our CI testing.
This change fixes the issue, and clarifies the comment describing the argument
selection that it got wrong.
Avoid the name secure_getenv to avoid redeclaring secure_getenv when
secure_getenv is present but its use is manually disabled via
ac_cv_func_secure_getenv=no.
This unifies the allocation paths for malloc, posix_memalign, aligned_alloc,
calloc, memalign, valloc, and mallocx, so that they all share common code where
they can.
There's more work that could be done here, but I think this is the smallest
discrete change in this direction.
Implement and test a JSON validation parser. Use the parser to validate
JSON output from malloc_stats_print(), with a significant subset of
supported output options.
This resolves#551.
Some system libraries are using malloc_default_zone() and then using
some of the malloc_zone_* API. Under normal conditions, those functions
check the malloc_zone_t/malloc_introspection_t struct for the values
that are allowed to be NULL, so that a NULL deref doesn't happen.
As of OSX 10.12, malloc_default_zone() doesn't return the actual default
zone anymore, but returns a fake, wrapper zone. The wrapper zone defines
all the possible functions in the malloc_zone_t/malloc_introspection_t
struct (almost), and calls the function from the registered default zone
(jemalloc in our case) on its own. Without checking whether the pointers
are NULL.
This means that a system library that calls e.g.
malloc_zone_batch_malloc(malloc_default_zone(), ...) ends up trying to
call jemalloc_zone.batch_malloc, which is NULL, and crash follows.
So as of OSX 10.12, the default zone is required to have all the
functions available (really, the same as the wrapper zone), even if they
do nothing.
This is arguably a bug in libsystem_malloc in OSX 10.12, but jemalloc
still needs to work in that case.
The SDK jemalloc is built against might be not be the latest for various
reasons, but the resulting binary ought to work on newer versions of
OSX.
In order to ensure this, we need the fullest definitions possible, so
copy what we need from the latest version of malloc/malloc.h available
on opensource.apple.com.
Mostly revert the prof_realloc() changes in
498856f44a (Move slabs out of chunks.) so
that prof_free_sampled_object() is called when appropriate. Leave the
prof_tctx_[re]set() optimization in place, but add an assertion to
verify that all eight cases are correctly handled. Add a comment to
make clear the code ordering, so that the regression originally fixed by
ea8d97b897 (Fix
prof_{malloc,free}_sample_object() call order in prof_realloc().) is not
repeated.
This resolves#499.
Refactor ctl_stats_t to be a demand-zeroed non-growing data structure.
To keep the size from being onerous (~60 MiB) on 32-bit systems, convert
the arenas field to contain pointers rather than directly embedded
ctl_arena_stats_t elements.
Add the MALLCTL_ARENAS_ALL cpp macro as a fixed index for use
in accessing the arena.<i>.{purge,decay,dss} and stats.arenas.<i>.*
mallctls, and deprecate access via the arenas.narenas index (to be
removed in 6.0.0).
Add/rename related mallctls:
- Add stats.arenas.<i>.base .
- Rename stats.arenas.<i>.metadata to stats.arenas.<i>.internal .
- Add stats.arenas.<i>.resident .
Modify the arenas.extend mallctl to take an optional (extent_hooks_t *)
argument so that it is possible for all base allocations to be serviced
by the specified extent hooks.
This resolves#463.
Split purging into lazy and forced variants. Use the forced variant for
zeroing dss.
Add support for NULL function pointers as an opt-out mechanism for the
dalloc, commit, decommit, purge_lazy, purge_forced, split, and merge
fields of extent_hooks_t.
Add short-circuiting checks in large_ralloc_no_move_{shrink,expand}() so
that no attempt is made if splitting/merging is not supported.
This resolves#268.
If virtual memory is retained, allocate extents such that their sizes
form an exponentially growing series. This limits the number of
disjoint virtual memory ranges so that extent merging can be effective
even if multiple arenas' extent allocation requests are highly
interleaved.
This resolves#462.
Add the --with-lg-hugepage configure option, but automatically configure
LG_HUGEPAGE even if it isn't specified.
Add the pages_[no]huge() functions, which toggle huge page state via
madvise(..., MADV_[NO]HUGEPAGE) calls.
These bugs were introduced by 0ba5b9b618
(Add "J" (JSON) support to malloc_stats_print().), which was backported
as b599b32280 (with the same bugs except
the inapplicable "metatata" misspelling) and first released in 4.3.0.
Rewrite arena_slab_regind() to provide sufficient constant data for
the compiler to perform division strength reduction. This replaces
more general manual strength reduction that was implemented before
arena_bin_info was compile-time-constant. It would be possible to
slightly improve on the compiler-generated division code by taking
advantage of range limits that the compiler doesn't know about.
Adds cpp bindings for jemalloc, along with necessary autoconf settings.
This is mostly to add sized deallocation support, which can't be added
from C directly. Sized deallocation is ~10% microbench improvement.
* Import ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 from the autoconf repo, seems like the
easiest way to get c++14 detection.
* Adds various other changes, like CXXFLAGS, to configure.ac.
* Adds new rules to Makefile.in for src/jemalloc-cpp.cpp, and a basic
unittest.
* Both new and delete are overridden, to ensure jemalloc is used for
both.
* TODO future enhancement of avoiding extra PLT thunks for new and
delete - sdallocx and malloc are publicly exported jemalloc symbols,
using an alias would link them directly. Unfortunately, was having
trouble getting it to play nice with jemalloc's namespace support.
Testing:
Tested gcc 4.8, gcc 5, gcc 5.2, clang 4.0. Only gcc >= 5 has sized
deallocation support, verified that the rest build correctly.
Tested mac osx and Centos.
Tested --with-jemalloc-prefix and --without-export.
This resolves#202.
Some versions of Android provide a pthreads library without providing
pthread_atfork(), so in practice a separate feature test is necessary
for the latter.
Add feature tests for the MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED flags to
madvise(2), so that MADV_FREE is detected and used for Linux kernel
versions 4.5 and newer. Refactor pages_purge() so that on systems which
support both flags, MADV_FREE is preferred over MADV_DONTNEED.
This resolves#387.
Add extent serial numbers and use them where appropriate as a sort key
that is higher priority than address, so that the allocation policy
prefers older extents.
This resolves#147.
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
Previous benchmark time:
./ttest1 500 100
~15s
New benchmark time:
./ttest1 500 100
.57s
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.
rtree-based extent lookups remain more expensive than chunk-based run
lookups, but with this optimization the fast path slowdown is ~3 CPU
cycles per metadata lookup (on Intel Core i7-4980HQ), versus ~11 cycles
prior. The path caching speedup tends to degrade gracefully unless
allocated memory is spread far apart (as is the case when using a
mixture of sbrk() and mmap()).
rallocx() for an alignment-constrained request may end up with a
smaller-than-worst-case size if in-place reallocation succeeds due to
serendipitous alignment. In such cases, sampling may not happen.
When an allocation is large enough to trigger multiple dumps, use
modular math rather than subtraction to reset the interval counter.
Prior to this change, it was possible for a single allocation to cause
many subsequent allocations to all trigger profile dumps.
When updating usable size for a sampled object, try to cancel out
the difference between LARGE_MINCLASS and usable size from the interval
counter.
Fix huge_ralloc_no_move_expand() to update the extent's zeroed attribute
based on the intersection of the previous value and that of the newly
merged trailing extent.
Look up chunk metadata via the radix tree, rather than using
CHUNK_ADDR2BASE().
Propagate pointer's containing extent.
Minimize extent lookups by doing a single lookup (e.g. in free()) and
propagating the pointer's extent into nearly all the functions that may
need it.
This makes it possible to acquire short-term "ownership" of rtree
elements so that it is possible to read an extent pointer *and* read the
extent's contents with a guarantee that the element will not be modified
until the ownership is released. This is intended as a mechanism for
resolving rtree read/write races rather than as a way to lock extents.
Use pszind_t size classes rather than szind_t size classes, and always
reserve space for NPSIZES elements. This removes unused heaps that are
not multiples of the page size, and adds (currently) unused heaps for
all huge size classes, with the immediate benefit that the size of
arena_t allocations is constant (no longer dependent on chunk size).
These compute size classes and indices similarly to size2index(),
index2size() and s2u(), respectively, but using the subset of size
classes that are multiples of the page size. Note that pszind_t and
szind_t are not interchangeable.
Short-circuit commonly called witness functions so that they only
execute in debug builds, and remove equivalent guards from mutex
functions. This avoids pointless code execution in
witness_assert_lockless(), which is typically called twice per
allocation/deallocation function invocation.
Inline commonly called witness functions so that optimized builds can
completely remove calls as dead code.
b2c0d6322d (Add witness, a simple online
locking validator.) caused a broad propagation of tsd throughout the
internal API, but tsd_fetch() was designed to fail prior to tsd
bootstrapping. Fix this by splitting tsd_t into non-nullable tsd_t and
nullable tsdn_t, and modifying all internal APIs that do not critically
rely on tsd to take nullable pointers. Furthermore, add the
tsd_booted_get() function so that tsdn_fetch() can probe whether tsd
bootstrapping is complete and return NULL if not. All dangerous
conversions of nullable pointers are tsdn_tsd() calls that assert-fail
on invalid conversion.
This is a broader application of optimizations to malloc() and free() in
f4a0f32d34 (Fast-path improvement:
reduce # of branches and unnecessary operations.).
This resolves#321.
If the OS overcommits:
- Commit all mappings in pages_map() regardless of whether the caller
requested committed memory.
- Linux-specific: Specify MAP_NORESERVE to avoid
unfortunate interactions with heuristic overcommit mode during
fork(2).
This resolves#193.
Split arena_choose() into arena_[i]choose() and use arena_ichoose() for
arena lookup during internal allocation. This fixes huge_palloc() so
that it always succeeds during extent node allocation.
This regression was introduced by
66cd953514 (Do not allocate metadata via
non-auto arenas, nor tcaches.).
Change test-related mangling to simplify symbol filtering.
The following commands can be used to detect missing/obsolete symbol
mangling, with the caveat that the full set of symbols is based on the
union of symbols generated by all configurations, some of which are
platform-specific:
./autogen.sh --enable-debug --enable-prof --enable-lazy-lock

During over-allocation in preparation for creating aligned mappings,
allocate one more page than necessary if PAGE is the actual page size,
so that trimming still succeeds even if the system returns a mapping
that has less than PAGE alignment. This allows compiling with e.g. 64
KiB "pages" on systems that actually use 4 KiB pages.
Note that for e.g. --with-lg-page=21, it is also necessary to increase
the chunk size (e.g. --with-malloc-conf=lg_chunk:22) so that there are
at least two "pages" per chunk. In practice this isn't a particularly
compelling configuration because so much (unusable) virtual memory is
dedicated to chunk headers.
Refactor ph to support configurable comparison functions. Use a cpp
macro code generation form equivalent to the rb macros so that pairing
heaps can be used for both run heaps and chunk heaps.
Remove per node parent pointers, and instead use leftmost siblings' prev
pointers to track parents.
Fix multi-pass sibling merging to iterate over intermediate results
using a FIFO, rather than a LIFO. Use this fixed sibling merging
implementation for both merge phases of the auxiliary twopass algorithm
(first merging the aux list, then replacing the root with its merged
children). This fixes both degenerate merge behavior and the potential
for deep recursion.
This regression was introduced by
6bafa6678f (Pairing heap).
This resolves#371.
Move chunk_dalloc_arena()'s implementation into chunk_dalloc_wrapper(),
so that if the dalloc hook fails, proper decommit/purge/retain cascading
occurs. This fixes three potential chunk leaks on OOM paths, one during
dss-based chunk allocation, one during chunk header commit (currently
relevant only on Windows), and one during rtree write (e.g. if rtree
node allocation fails).
Merge chunk_purge_arena() into chunk_purge_default() (refactor, no
change to functionality).
Variables s and slen are declared inside a switch statement, but outside
a case scope. clang reports these variable definitions as "unreachable",
though this is not really meaningful in this case. This is the only
-Wunreachable-code warning in jemalloc.
src/util.c:501:5 [-Wunreachable-code] code will never be executed
This resolves#364.
Use pairing heap instead of red black tree in arena runs_avail. The
extra links are unioned with the bitmap_t, so this change doesn't use
any extra memory.
Canaries show this change to be a 1% cpu win, and 2% latency win. In
particular, large free()s, and small bin frees are now O(1) (barring
coalescing).
I also tested changing bin->runs to be a pairing heap, but saw a much
smaller win, and it would mean increasing the size of arena_run_s by two
pointers, so I left that as an rb-tree for now.
Initial implementation of a twopass pairing heap with aux list.
Research papers linked in comments.
Where search/nsearch/last aren't needed, this gives much faster first(),
delete(), and insert(). Insert is O(1), and first/delete don't have to
walk the whole tree.
Also tested rb_old with parent pointers - it was better than the current
rb.h for memory loads, but still much worse than a pairing heap.
An array-based heap would be much faster if everything fits in memory,
but on a cold cache it has many more memory loads for most operations.
Add a cast to avoid comparing a ssize_t value to a uint64_t value that
is always larger than a 32-bit ssize_t. This silences an innocuous
compiler warning from e.g. gcc 4.2.1 about the comparison always having
the same result.
Prior to 767d85061a (Refactor arenas array
(fixes deadlock).), it was possible under some circumstances for
arena_get() to trigger recreation of the arenas cache during tsd
cleanup, and the arenas cache would then be leaked. In principle a
similar issue could still occur as a side effect of decay-based purging,
which calls arena_tdata_get(). Fix arenas_tdata_cleanup() by setting
tsd->arenas_tdata_bypass to true, so that arena_tdata_get() will
gracefully fail (an expected behavior) rather than recreating
tsd->arena_tdata.
Reported by Christopher Ferris <cferris@google.com>.
Add missing stats.arenas.<i>.{dss,lg_dirty_mult,decay_time}
initialization.
Fix stats.arenas.<i>.{pactive,pdirty} to read under the protection of
the arena mutex.
Fix stats.cactive accounting to always increase/decrease by multiples of
the chunk size, even for huge size classes that are not multiples of the
chunk size, e.g. {2.5, 3, 3.5, 5, 7} MiB with 2 MiB chunk size. This
regression was introduced by 155bfa7da1
(Normalize size classes.) and first released in 4.0.0.
This resolves#336.
This removes an implicit conversion from size_t to ssize_t. For cactive
decreases, the size_t value was intentionally underflowed to generate
"negative" values (actually positive values above the positive range of
ssize_t), and the conversion to ssize_t was undefined according to C
language semantics.
This regression was perpetuated by
1522937e9c (Fix the cactive statistic.)
and first release in 4.0.0, which in retrospect only fixed one of two
problems introduced by aa5113b1fd
(Refactor overly large/complex functions) and first released in 3.5.0.
For small bitmaps, a linear scan of the bitmap is slightly faster than
a tree search - bitmap_t is more compact, and there are fewer writes
since we don't have to propogate state transitions up the tree.
On x86_64 with the current settings, I'm seeing ~.5%-1% CPU improvement
in production canaries with this change.
The old tree code is left since 32bit sizes are much larger (and ffsl
smaller), and maybe the run sizes will change in the future.
This resolves#339.
Add HUGE_MAXCLASS overflow checks that are specific to heap profiling
code paths. This fixes test failures that were introduced by
0c516a00c4 (Make *allocx() size class
overflow behavior defined.).
Refactor the arenas array, which contains pointers to all extant arenas,
such that it starts out as a sparse array of maximum size, and use
double-checked atomics-based reads as the basis for fast and simple
arena_get(). Additionally, reduce arenas_lock's role such that it only
protects against arena initalization races. These changes remove the
possibility for arena lookups to trigger locking, which resolves at
least one known (fork-related) deadlock.
This resolves#315.
Fix arena_size arena_new() computation to incorporate
runs_avail_nclasses elements for runs_avail, rather than
(runs_avail_nclasses - 1) elements. Since offsetof(arena_t, runs_avail)
is used rather than sizeof(arena_t) for the first term of the
computation, all of the runs_avail elements must be added into the
second term.
This bug was introduced (by Jason Evans) while merging pull request #330
as 3417a304cc (Separate arena_avail
trees).
Merge of 3417a304cc looks like a small
bug: first_best_fit doesn't scan through all the classes, since ind is
offset from runs_avail_nclasses by run_avail_bias.
Attempt mmap-based in-place huge reallocation by plumbing new_addr into
chunk_alloc_mmap(). This can dramatically speed up incremental huge
reallocation.
This resolves#335.
Separate run trees by index, replacing the previous quantize logic.
Quantization by index is now performed only on insertion / removal from
the tree, and not on node comparison, saving some cpu. This also means
we don't have to dereference the miscelm* pointers, saving half of the
memory loads from miscelms/mapbits that have fallen out of cache. A
linear scan of the indicies appears to be fast enough.
The only cost of this is an extra tree array in each arena.
In practice this bug had limited impact (and then only by increasing
chunk fragmentation) because run_quantize_ceil() returned correct
results except for inputs that could only arise from aligned allocation
requests that required more than page alignment.
This bug existed in the original run quantization implementation, which
was introduced by 8a03cf039c (Implement
cache index randomization for large allocations.).
Use a single uint64_t in nstime_t to store nanoseconds rather than using
struct timespec. This reduces fragility around conversions between long
and uint64_t, especially missing casts that only cause problems on
32-bit platforms.
This is an alternative to the existing ratio-based unused dirty page
purging, and is intended to eventually become the sole purging
mechanism.
Add mallctls:
- opt.purge
- opt.decay_time
- arena.<i>.decay
- arena.<i>.decay_time
- arenas.decay_time
- stats.arenas.<i>.decay_time
This resolves#325.
When using LinuxThreads, malloc bootstrapping deadlocks, since
malloc_tsd_boot0() ends up calling pthread_setspecific(), which causes
recursive allocation. Fix it by moving the malloc_tsd_boot0() call to
malloc_init_hard_recursible().
The deadlock was introduced by 8bb3198f72
(Refactor/fix arenas manipulation.), when tsd_boot() was split and the
top half, tsd_boot0(), got an extra tsd_wrapper_set() call.
- Combine multiple runtime branches into a single malloc_slow check.
- Avoid calling arena_choose / size2index / index2size on fast path.
- A few micro optimizations.
Fix xallocx(..., MALLOCX_ZERO to zero the last full trailing page of
large allocations that have been randomly assigned an offset of 0 when
--enable-cache-oblivious configure option is enabled. This addresses a
special case missed in d260f442ce (Fix
xallocx(..., MALLOCX_ZERO) bugs.).
Zero all trailing bytes of large allocations when
--enable-cache-oblivious configure option is enabled. This regression
was introduced by 8a03cf039c (Implement
cache index randomization for large allocations.).
Zero trailing bytes of huge allocations when resizing from/to a size
class that is not a multiple of the chunk size.
Fix prof_tctx_dump_iter() to filter out nodes that were created after
heap profile dumping started. Prior to this fix, spurious entries with
arbitrary object/byte counts could appear in heap profiles, which
resulted in jeprof inaccuracies or failures.
Simplify imallocx_prof_sample() to always operate on usize rather than
sometimes using size. This avoids redundant usize computations and
more closely fits the style adopted by i[rx]allocx_prof_sample() to fix
sampling bugs.
Fix ixallocx_prof_sample() to never modify nor create sampled small
allocations. xallocx() is in general incapable of moving small
allocations, so this fix removes buggy code without loss of generality.
Add arena_prof_tctx_reset() and use it instead of arena_prof_tctx_set()
when resetting the tctx pointer during reallocation, which happens
whenever an originally sampled reallocated object is not sampled during
reallocation.
This regression was introduced by
594c759f37 (Optimize
arena_prof_tctx_set().)
Make one call to prof_active_get_unlocked() per allocation event, and
use the result throughout the relevant functions that handle an
allocation event. Also add a missing check in prof_realloc(). These
fixes protect allocation events against concurrent prof_active changes.
Fix heap profiling to distinguish among otherwise identical sample sites
with interposed resets (triggered via the "prof.reset" mallctl). This
bug could cause data structure corruption that would most likely result
in a segfault.
When junk filling is enabled, shrinking an allocation fills the bytes
that were previously allocated but now aren't. Purging the chunk before
doing that is just a waste of time.
This resolves#260.
Fix chunk purge hook calls for in-place huge shrinking reallocation to
specify the old chunk size rather than the new chunk size. This bug
caused no correctness issues for the default chunk purge function, but
was visible to custom functions set via the "arena.<i>.chunk_hooks"
mallctl.
This resolves#264.
Fix arenas_cache_cleanup() and arena_get_hard() to handle
allocation/deallocation within the application's thread-specific data
cleanup functions even after arenas_cache is torn down.
This is a more general fix that complements
45e9f66c28 (Fix arenas_cache_cleanup().).
Fix arenas_cache_cleanup() to handle allocation/deallocation within the
application's thread-specific data cleanup functions even after
arenas_cache is torn down.
Don't bitshift by negative amounts when encoding/decoding run sizes in
chunk header maps. This affected systems with page sizes greater than 8
KiB.
Reported by Ingvar Hagelund <ingvar@redpill-linpro.com>.
Only set the unzeroed flag when initializing the entire mapbits entry,
rather than mutating just the unzeroed bit. This simplifies the
possible mapbits state transitions.
Cascade from decommit to purge when purging unused dirty pages, so that
it is possible to decommit cleaned memory rather than just purging. For
non-Windows debug builds, decommit runs rather than purging them, since
this causes access of deallocated runs to segfault.
This resolves#251.
Fix arena_ralloc_large_grow() to properly account for large_pad, so that
in-place large reallocation succeeds when possible, rather than always
failing. This regression was introduced by
8a03cf039c (Implement cache index
randomization for large allocations.)
- Decorate public function with __declspec(allocator) and __declspec(restrict), just like MSVC 1900
- Support JEMALLOC_HAS_RESTRICT by defining the restrict keyword
- Move __declspec(nothrow) between 'void' and '*' so it compiles once more
Add the "arena.<i>.chunk_hooks" mallctl, which replaces and expands on
the "arena.<i>.chunk.{alloc,dalloc,purge}" mallctls. The chunk hooks
allow control over chunk allocation/deallocation, decommit/commit,
purging, and splitting/merging, such that the application can rely on
jemalloc's internal chunk caching and retaining functionality, yet
implement a variety of chunk management mechanisms and policies.
Merge the chunks_[sz]ad_{mmap,dss} red-black trees into
chunks_[sz]ad_retained. This slightly reduces how hard jemalloc tries
to honor the dss precedence setting; prior to this change the precedence
setting was also consulted when recycling chunks.
Fix chunk purging. Don't purge chunks in arena_purge_stashed(); instead
deallocate them in arena_unstash_purged(), so that the dirty memory
linkage remains valid until after the last time it is used.
This resolves#176 and #201.
Fix huge_ralloc_no_move() to succeed if an allocation request results in
the same usable size as the existing allocation, even if the request
size is smaller than the usable size. This bug did not cause
correctness issues, but it could cause unnecessary moves during
reallocation.
huge_ralloc() passes a size that may not be precisely a size class, so
make huge_palloc() handle the more general case of a size input rather
than usize.
This regression appears to have been introduced by the addition of
in-place huge reallocation; as such it was never incorporated into a
release.
Create and use FMT* macros that are equivalent to the PRI* macros that
inttypes.h defines. This allows uniform use of the Unix-specific format
specifiers, e.g. "%zu", as well as avoiding Windows-specific definitions
of e.g. PRIu64.
Add ffs()/ffsl() support for compiling with gcc.
Extract compatibility definitions of ENOENT, EINVAL, EAGAIN, EPERM,
ENOMEM, and ENORANGE into include/msvc_compat/windows_extra.h and
use the file for tests as well as for core jemalloc code.
Replace JEMALLOC_ATTR(format(printf, ...). with
JEMALLOC_FORMAT_PRINTF(), so that configuration feature tests can
omit the attribute if it would cause extraneous compilation warnings.
As per gcc documentation:
The alloc_size attribute is used to tell the compiler that the function
return value points to memory (...)
This resolves#245.
This effectively reverts 97c04a9383 (Use
first-fit rather than first-best-fit run/chunk allocation.). In some
pathological cases, first-fit search dominates allocation time, and it
also tends not to converge as readily on a steady state of memory
layout, since precise allocation order has a bigger effect than for
first-best-fit.
Add various function attributes to the exported functions to give the
compiler more information to work with during optimization, and also
specify throw() when compiling with C++ on Linux, in order to adequately
match what __THROW does in glibc.
This resolves#237.
Conditionally define ENOENT, EINVAL, etc. (was unconditional).
Add/use PRIzu, PRIzd, and PRIzx for use in malloc_printf() calls. gcc issued
(harmless) warnings since e.g. "%zu" should be "%Iu" on Windows, and the
alternative to this workaround would have been to disable the function
attributes which cause gcc to look for type mismatches in formatted printing
function calls.
- Set opt_lg_chunk based on run-time OS setting

Fix size class overflow handling for malloc(), posix_memalign(),
memalign(), calloc(), and realloc() when profiling is enabled.
Remove an assertion that erroneously caused arena_sdalloc() to fail when

This resolves#232.
This avoids the potential surprise of deallocating an object with one
