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.
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.
Depending on virtual memory resource limits, it is necessary to attempt
allocating three maximally sized objects to trigger OOM rather than just
two, since the maximum supported size is slightly less than half the
total virtual memory address space.
This fixes a test failure that was introduced by
0c516a00c4 (Make *allocx() size class
overflow behavior defined.).
This resolves#379.
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.
Restructure the test program master header to avoid blindly enabling
assertions. Prior to this change, assertion code in e.g. arena.h was
always enabled for tests, which could skew performance-related testing.
Add (size_t) casts to MALLOCX_ALIGN() macros so that passing the integer
constant 0x80000000 does not cause a compiler warning about invalid
shift amount.
This resolves#354.
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.
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.
Modify xallocx() tests that expect to expand in place to use a separate
arena. This avoids the potential for interposed internal allocations
from e.g. heap profile sampling to disrupt the tests.
This resolves#286.
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 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 arenas_cache_cleanup() to handle allocation/deallocation within the
application's thread-specific data cleanup functions even after
arenas_cache is torn down.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
profiling was enabled.
This resolves#232.
Add mallctls:
- arenas.lg_dirty_mult is initialized via opt.lg_dirty_mult, and can be
modified to change the initial lg_dirty_mult setting for newly created
arenas.
- arena.<i>.lg_dirty_mult controls an individual arena's dirty page
purging threshold, and synchronously triggers any purging that may be
necessary to maintain the constraint.
- arena.<i>.chunk.purge allows the per arena dirty page purging function
to be replaced.
This resolves#93.
Linux sets _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK to 0 meaning it *might* be available,
so a sysconf check is necessary at runtime with a fallback to the
mandatory CLOCK_REALTIME clock.
This regression was introduced by
88fef7ceda (Refactor huge_*() calls into
arena internals.), and went undetected because of the --enable-debug
regression.
Migrate all centralized data structures related to huge allocations and
recyclable chunks into arena_t, so that each arena can manage huge
allocations and recyclable virtual memory completely independently of
other arenas.
Add chunk node caching to arenas, in order to avoid contention on the
base allocator.
Use chunks_rtree to look up huge allocations rather than a red-black
tree. Maintain a per arena unsorted list of huge allocations (which
will be needed to enumerate huge allocations during arena reset).
Remove the --enable-ivsalloc option, make ivsalloc() always available,
and use it for size queries if --enable-debug is enabled. The only
practical implications to this removal are that 1) ivsalloc() is now
always available during live debugging (and the underlying radix tree is
available during core-based debugging), and 2) size query validation can
no longer be enabled independent of --enable-debug.
Remove the stats.chunks.{current,total,high} mallctls, and replace their
underlying statistics with simpler atomically updated counters used
exclusively for gdump triggering. These statistics are no longer very
useful because each arena manages chunks independently, and per arena
statistics provide similar information.
Simplify chunk synchronization code, now that base chunk allocation
cannot cause recursive lock acquisition.
Add the MALLOCX_TCACHE() and MALLOCX_TCACHE_NONE macros, which can be
used in conjunction with the *allocx() API.
Add the tcache.create, tcache.flush, and tcache.destroy mallctls.
This resolves#145.
Recent huge allocation refactoring associates huge allocations with
arenas, but it remains necessary to quickly look up huge allocation
metadata during reallocation/deallocation. A global radix tree remains
a good solution to this problem, but locking would have become the
primary bottleneck after (upcoming) migration of chunk management from
global to per arena data structures.
This lock-free implementation uses double-checked reads to traverse the
tree, so that in the steady state, each read or write requires only a
single atomic operation.
This implementation also assures that no more than two tree levels
actually exist, through a combination of careful virtual memory
allocation which makes large sparse nodes cheap, and skipping the root
node on x64 (possible because the top 16 bits are all 0 in practice).
This feature makes it possible to toggle the gdump feature on/off during
program execution, whereas the the opt.prof_dump mallctl value can only
be set during program startup.
This resolves#72.
In addition to true/false, opt.junk can now be either "alloc" or "free",
giving applications the possibility of junking memory only on allocation
or deallocation.
This resolves#172.
Add per size class huge allocation statistics, and normalize various
stats:
- Change the arenas.nlruns type from size_t to unsigned.
- Add the arenas.nhchunks and arenas.hchunks.<i>.size mallctl's.
- Replace the stats.arenas.<i>.bins.<j>.allocated mallctl with
stats.arenas.<i>.bins.<j>.curregs .
- Add the stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.nmalloc,
stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.ndalloc,
stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.nrequests, and
stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.curhchunks mallctl's.
Add:
--with-lg-page
--with-lg-page-sizes
--with-lg-size-class-group
--with-lg-quantum
Get rid of STATIC_PAGE_SHIFT, in favor of directly setting LG_PAGE.
Fix various edge conditions exposed by the configure options.
atexit(3) can deadlock internally during its own initialization if
jemalloc calls atexit() during jemalloc initialization. Mitigate the
impact by restructuring prof initialization to avoid calling atexit()
unless the registered function will actually dump a final heap profile.
Additionally, disable prof_final by default so that this land mine is
opt-in rather than opt-out.
This resolves#144.
This avoids grabbing the base mutex, as a step towards fine-grained
locking for huge allocations. The thread cache also provides a tiny
(~3%) improvement for serial huge allocations.
Abstract arenas access to use arena_get() (or a0get() where appropriate)
rather than directly reading e.g. arenas[ind]. Prior to the addition of
the arenas.extend mallctl, the worst possible outcome of directly
accessing arenas was a stale read, but arenas.extend may allocate and
assign a new array to arenas.
Add a tsd-based arenas_cache, which amortizes arenas reads. This
introduces some subtle bootstrapping issues, with tsd_boot() now being
split into tsd_boot[01]() to support tsd wrapper allocation
bootstrapping, as well as an arenas_cache_bypass tsd variable which
dynamically terminates allocation of arenas_cache itself.
Promote a0malloc(), a0calloc(), and a0free() to be generally useful for
internal allocation, and use them in several places (more may be
appropriate).
Abstract arena->nthreads management and fix a missing decrement during
thread destruction (recent tsd refactoring left arenas_cleanup()
unused).
Change arena_choose() to propagate OOM, and handle OOM in all callers.
This is important for providing consistent allocation behavior when the
MALLOCX_ARENA() flag is being used. Prior to this fix, it was possible
for an OOM to result in allocation silently allocating from a different
arena than the one specified.
Normalize size classes to use the same number of size classes per size
doubling (currently hard coded to 4), across the intire range of size
classes. Small size classes already used this spacing, but in order to
support this change, additional small size classes now fill [4 KiB .. 16
KiB). Large size classes range from [16 KiB .. 4 MiB). Huge size
classes now support non-multiples of the chunk size in order to fill (4
MiB .. 16 MiB).
This adds support for expanding huge allocations in-place by requesting
memory at a specific address from the chunk allocator.
It's currently only implemented for the chunk recycling path, although
in theory it could also be done by optimistically allocating new chunks.
On Linux, it could attempt an in-place mremap. However, that won't work
in practice since the heap is grown downwards and memory is not unmapped
(in a normal build, at least).
Repeated vector reallocation micro-benchmark:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
for (size_t i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
void *ptr = NULL;
size_t old_size = 0;
for (size_t size = 4; size < (1 << 30); size *= 2) {
ptr = realloc(ptr, size);
if (!ptr) return 1;
memset(ptr + old_size, 0xff, size - old_size);
old_size = size;
}
free(ptr);
}
}
The glibc allocator fails to do any in-place reallocations on this
benchmark once it passes the M_MMAP_THRESHOLD (default 128k) but it
elides the cost of copies via mremap, which is currently not something
that jemalloc can use.
With this improvement, jemalloc still fails to do any in-place huge
reallocations for the first outer loop, but then succeeds 100% of the
time for the remaining 99 iterations. The time spent doing allocations
and copies drops down to under 5%, with nearly all of it spent doing
purging + faulting (when huge pages are disabled) and the array memset.
An improved mremap API (MREMAP_RETAIN - #138) would be far more general
but this is a portable optimization and would still be useful on Linux
for xallocx.

Closes#137
Fix tsd cleanup regressions that were introduced in
5460aa6f66 (Convert all tsd variables to
reside in a single tsd structure.). These regressions were twofold:
1) tsd_tryget() should never (and need never) return NULL. Rename it to
tsd_fetch() and simplify all callers.
2) tsd_*_set() must only be called when tsd is in the nominal state,
because cleanup happens during the nominal-->purgatory transition,
and re-initialization must not happen while in the purgatory state.
Add tsd_nominal() and use it as needed. Note that tsd_*{p,}_get()
can still be used as long as no re-initialization that would require
cleanup occurs. This means that e.g. the thread_allocated counter
can be updated unconditionally.
Implement/test/fix the opt.prof_thread_active_init,
prof.thread_active_init, and thread.prof.active mallctl's.
Test/fix the thread.prof.name mallctl.
Refactor opt_prof_active to be read-only and move mutable state into the
prof_active variable. Stop leaning on ctl-related locking for
protection.
Refactor permuted backtrace test allocation that was originally used
only by the prof_accum test, so that it can be used by other heap
profiling test binaries.
This adds a new `sdallocx` function to the external API, allowing the
size to be passed by the caller. It avoids some extra reads in the
thread cache fast path. In the case where stats are enabled, this
avoids the work of calculating the size from the pointer.
An assertion validates the size that's passed in, so enabling debugging
will allow users of the API to debug cases where an incorrect size is
passed in.
The performance win for a contrived microbenchmark doing an allocation
and immediately freeing it is ~10%. It may have a different impact on a
real workload.
Closes#28
Use nallocx() rather than mallctl() to trigger initialization, because
nallocx() has no side effects other than initialization, whereas
mallctl() does a bunch of internal memory allocation.
Refactor huge allocation to be managed by arenas (though the global
red-black tree of huge allocations remains for lookup during
deallocation). This is the logical conclusion of recent changes that 1)
made per arena dss precedence apply to huge allocation, and 2) made it
possible to replace the per arena chunk allocation/deallocation
functions.
Remove the top level huge stats, and replace them with per arena huge
stats.
Normalize function names and types to *dalloc* (some were *dealloc*).
Remove the --enable-mremap option. As jemalloc currently operates, this
is a performace regression for some applications, but planned work to
logarithmically space huge size classes should provide similar amortized
performance. The motivation for this change was that mremap-based huge
reallocation forced leaky abstractions that prevented refactoring.
Add new mallctl endpoints "arena<i>.chunk.alloc" and
"arena<i>.chunk.dealloc" to allow userspace to configure
jemalloc's chunk allocator and deallocator on a per-arena
basis.
Make dss non-optional on all platforms which support sbrk(2).
Fix the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl to return an error if "primary" or
"secondary" precedence is specified, but sbrk(2) is not supported.
The hash code, which has MurmurHash3 at its core, generates different
output depending on system endianness, so adapt the expected output on
big-endian systems. MurmurHash3 code also makes the assumption that
unaligned access is okay (not true on all systems), but jemalloc only
hashes data structures that have sufficient alignment to dodge this
limitation.
Reduce maximum tested alignment from 2^29 to 2^25. Some systems may not
have enough contiguous virtual memory to satisfy the larger alignment,
but the smaller alignment is still adequate to test multi-chunk
alignment.
p_test_fail() was passing a va_list to two separate functions with the
expectation that no reset would occur. Refactor p_test_fail()'s callers
to instead format two strings and pass them to p_test_fail().
Add a missing parameter to an assert_u64_eq() call, which the compiler
warned about after the assertion macro refactoring.
Restore the essence of 898960247a, which
sabotages tail call optimization. This is necessary even when the
mutually recursive functions are in separate compilation units.
If mremap(2) is used for huge reallocation, physical pages are mapped to
new virtual addresses rather than data being copied to new pages. This
bypasses the normal junk filling that would happen during allocation, so
add junk filling that is specific to this case.
Break prof_accum into multiple compilation units, in order to thwart
compiler optimizations such as inlining and tail call optimization that
would alter backtraces.
Remove the allocm() test equivalent to the mallocx() test removed in the
previous commit. The flawed test attempted to cause OOM due to large
request size and alignment constraint. Although this test "passed" on
64-bit systems due to the virtual memory hole, it could pass on some
32-bit systems.
Fix/remove three related flawed tests that attempted to cause OOM due to
large request size and alignment constraint. Although these tests
"passed" on 64-bit systems due to the virtual memory hole, they could
pass on some 32-bit systems.
Re-structure alloc_[01](), which are mutually tail-recursive functions,
to do (unnecessary) work post-recursion so that the compiler cannot
perform tail call optimization, thus preserving intentionally unique
call paths in captured backtraces.
Fix stress tests such that testlib code uses the jet_ allocator, but
test code uses libjemalloc.
Generate jemalloc_{rename,mangle}.h, the former because it's needed for
the stress test name mangling fix, and the latter for consistency. As
an artifact of this change, some (but not all) definitions related to
the experimental API are absent from the headers unless the feature is
enabled at configure time.
Extract profiling code from malloc(), imemalign(), calloc(), realloc(),
mallocx(), rallocx(), and xallocx(). This slightly reduces the amount
of code compiled into the fast paths, but the primary benefit is the
combinatorial complexity reduction.
Simplify iralloc[t]() by creating a separate ixalloc() that handles the
no-move cases.
Further simplify [mrxn]allocx() (and by implication [mrn]allocm()) to
make request size overflows due to size class and/or alignment
constraints trigger undefined behavior (detected by debug-only
assertions).
Report ENOMEM rather than EINVAL if an OOM occurs during heap profiling
backtrace creation in imemalign(). This bug impacted posix_memalign()
and aligned_alloc().
Add unit tests for pow2_ceil(), malloc_strtoumax(), and
malloc_snprintf().
Fix numerous bugs in malloc_strotumax() error handling/reporting. These
bugs could have caused application-visible issues for some seldom used
(0X... and 0... prefixes) or malformed MALLOC_CONF or mallctl() argument
strings, but otherwise they had no impact.
Fix numerous bugs in malloc_snprintf(). These bugs were not exercised
by existing malloc_*printf() calls, so they had no impact.
Reduce rtree memory usage by storing booleans (1 byte each) rather than
pointers. The rtree code is only used to record whether jemalloc manages
a chunk of memory, so there's no need to store pointers in the rtree.
Increase rtree node size to 64 KiB in order to reduce tree depth from 13
to 3 on 64-bit systems. The conversion to more compact leaf nodes was
enough by itself to make the rtree depth 1 on 32-bit systems; due to the
fact that root nodes are smaller than the specified node size if
possible, the node size change has no impact on 32-bit systems (assuming
default chunk size).
Verify that freed regions are quarantined, and that redzone corruption
is detected.
Introduce a testing idiom for intercepting/replacing internal functions.
In this case the replaced function is ordinarily a static function, but
the idiom should work similarly for library-private functions.
Move je_* definitions from jemalloc_macros.h.in to jemalloc_defs.h.in,
because only the latter is an autoconf header (#undef substitution
occurs).
Fix unit tests to use automatic mangling, so that e.g. mallocx is
macro-substituted to becom jet_mallocx.
Implement the *allocx() API, which is a successor to the *allocm() API.
The *allocx() functions are slightly simpler to use because they have
fewer parameters, they directly return the results of primary interest,
and mallocx()/rallocx() avoid the strict aliasing pitfall that
allocm()/rallocx() share with posix_memalign(). The following code
violates strict aliasing rules:
foo_t *foo;
allocm((void **)&foo, NULL, 42, 0);
whereas the following is safe:
foo_t *foo;
void *p;
allocm(&p, NULL, 42, 0);
foo = (foo_t *)p;
mallocx() does not have this problem:
foo_t *foo = (foo_t *)mallocx(42, 0);
Add mtx (mutex) to test infrastructure, in order to avoid bootstrapping
complications that would result from directly using malloc_mutex.
Rename test infrastructure's thread abstraction from je_thread to thd.
Fix some header ordering issues.
Refactor array declarations to remove some dubious casts.
Reduce array size to what is actually used.
Extract magic numbers into cpp macro definitions.
Add JEMALLOC_INLINE_C and use it instead of JEMALLOC_INLINE in .c files,
so that the annotated functions are always static.
Remove SFMT's inline-related macros and use jemalloc's instead, so that
there's no danger of interactions with jemalloc's definitions that
disable inlining for debug builds.
Add probabability distribution utility code that enables generation of
random deviates drawn from normal, Chi-square, and Gamma distributions.
Fix format strings in several of the assert_* macros (remove a %s).
Clean up header issues; it's critical that system headers are not
included after internal definitions potentially do things like:
#define inline
Fix the build system to incorporate header dependencies for the test
library C files.
Integrate the SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister (SFMT) 1.3.3 into the
test infrastructure.
The sfmt_t state encapsulation modification comes from Crux
(http://www.canonware.com/Crux/) and enables multiple
concurrent PRNGs.
test/unit/SFMT.c is an adaptation of SFMT's test.c that performs all the
same validation, both for 32- and 64-bit generation.
Refactor tests to use explicit testing assertions, rather than diff'ing
test output. This makes the test code a bit shorter, more explicitly
encodes testing intent, and makes test failure diagnosis more
straightforward.
Refactor the test harness to support three types of tests:
- unit: White box unit tests. These tests have full access to all
internal jemalloc library symbols. Though in actuality all symbols
are prefixed by jet_, macro-based name mangling abstracts this away
from test code.
- integration: Black box integration tests. These tests link with
the installable shared jemalloc library, and with the exception of
some utility code and configure-generated macro definitions, they have
no access to jemalloc internals.
- stress: Black box stress tests. These tests link with the installable
shared jemalloc library, as well as with an internal allocator with
symbols prefixed by jet_ (same as for unit tests) that can be used to
allocate data structures that are internal to the test code.
Move existing tests into test/{unit,integration}/ as appropriate.
Split out internal parts of jemalloc_defs.h.in and put them in
jemalloc_internal_defs.h.in. This reduces internals exposure to
applications that #include <jemalloc/jemalloc.h>.
Refactor jemalloc.h header generation so that a single header file
results, and the prototypes can be used to generate jet_ prototypes for
tests. Split jemalloc.h.in into multiple parts (jemalloc_defs.h.in,
jemalloc_macros.h.in, jemalloc_protos.h.in, jemalloc_mangle.h.in) and
use a shell script to generate a unified jemalloc.h at configure time.
Change the default private namespace prefix from "" to "je_".
Add missing private namespace mangling.
Remove hard-coded private_namespace.h. Instead generate it and
private_unnamespace.h from private_symbols.txt. Use similar logic for
public symbols, which aids in name mangling for jet_ symbols.
Add test_warn() and test_fail(). Replace existing exit(1) calls with
test_fail() calls.
Fix dangerous casts of int variables to pointers in thread join function
calls. On LP64 systems, int and pointers are different sizes, so
writes can corrupt memory.
Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, so that it is possible to create new
arenas that are outside the set that jemalloc automatically multiplexes
threads onto.
Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm(), so that it is possible
to explicitly allocate from a particular arena.
Add the "opt.dss" mallctl, which controls the default precedence of dss
allocation relative to mmap allocation.
Add the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl, which makes it possible to set the
default dss precedence on a per arena or global basis.
Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge".
Add the "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctl.
Using errno on win32 doesn't quite work, because the value set in a shared
library can't be read from e.g. an executable calling the function setting
errno.
At the same time, since buferror always uses errno/GetLastError, don't pass
it.
MSVC doesn't support C99, and building as C++ to be able to use them is
dangerous, as C++ and C99 are incompatible.
Introduce a VARIABLE_ARRAY macro that either uses VLA when supported,
or alloca() otherwise. Note that using alloca() inside loops doesn't
quite work like VLAs, thus the use of VARIABLE_ARRAY there is discouraged.
It might be worth investigating ways to check whether VARIABLE_ARRAY is
used in such context at runtime in debug builds and bail out if that
happens.
Since we're now including jemalloc_internal.h, all the required headers
are already pulled. This will avoid having to fiddle with headers that can
or can't be used with MSVC. Also, now that we use malloc_printf, we can use
util.h's definition of assert instead of assert.h's.
This reverts commit 96d4120ac0.
ivsalloc() depends on chunks_rtree being initialized. This can be
worked around via a NULL pointer check. However,
thread_allocated_tsd_get() also depends on initialization having
occurred, and there is no way to guard its call in free() that is
cheaper than checking whether ptr is NULL.
Generalize isalloc() to handle NULL pointers in such a way that the NULL
checking overhead is only paid when introspecting huge allocations (or
NULL). This allows free() and malloc_usable_size() to no longer check
for NULL.

Implement aligned_alloc(), which was added in the C11 standard. The
function is weakly specified to the point that a minimally compliant
implementation would be painful to use (size must be an integral
multiple of alignment!), which in practice makes posix_memalign() a
safer choice.
Implement malloc_vsnprintf() (a subset of vsnprintf(3)) as well as
several other printing functions based on it, so that formatted printing
can be relied upon without concern for inducing a dependency on floating
point runtime support. Replace malloc_write() calls with
malloc_*printf() where doing so simplifies the code.
Add name mangling for library-private symbols in the data and BSS
sections. Adjust CONF_HANDLE_*() macros in malloc_conf_init() to expose
all opt_* variable use to cpp so that proper mangling occurs.
Add the --with-mangling configure option, which can be used to specify
name mangling on a per public symbol basis that takes precedence over
--with-jemalloc-prefix.
Expose the memalign() and valloc() overrides even if
--with-jemalloc-prefix is specified. This change does no real harm, and
simplifies the code.
Add nallocm(), which computes the real allocation size that would result
from the corresponding allocm() call. nallocm() is a functional
superset of OS X's malloc_good_size(), in that it takes alignment
constraints into account.
