If we guarantee no malloc activity in extent hooks, it's possible to make
customized hooks working on arena 0. Remove the non-a0 assertion to enable such
use cases.
To avoid the high RSS caused by THP + low usage arena (i.e. THP becomes a
significant percentage), added a new "auto" option which will only start using
THP after a base allocator used up the first THP region. Starting from the
second hugepage (in a single arena), "auto" behaves the same as "always",
i.e. madvise hugepage right away.
This eliminates the need for the arena stats code to "know" about tcaches; all
that it needs is a cache_bin_array_descriptor_t to tell it where to find
cache_bins whose stats it should aggregate.
This is the first step towards breaking up the tcache and arena (since they
interact primarily at the bin level). It should also make a future arena
caching implementation more straightforward.
As part of the metadata_thp support, We now have a separate swtich
(JEMALLOC_HAVE_MADVISE_HUGE) for MADV_HUGEPAGE availability. Use that instead
of JEMALLOC_THP (which doesn't guard pages_huge anymore) in tests.
The external linkage for spin_adaptive was not used, and the inline
declaration of spin_adaptive that was used caused a probem on FreeBSD
where CPU_SPINWAIT is implemented as a call to a static procedure for
x86 architectures.
If ptr is not page aligned, we know the allocation was not sampled. In this case
use the size passed into sdallocx directly w/o accessing rtree. This improve
sdallocx efficiency in the common case (not sampled && small allocation).
When retain is enabled, we should not attempt mmap for in-place expansion
(large_ralloc_no_move), because it's virtually impossible to succeed, and causes
unnecessary syscalls (which can cause lock contention under load).
Currently we have to log by writing something like:
static log_var_t log_a_b_c = LOG_VAR_INIT("a.b.c");
log (log_a_b_c, "msg");
This is sort of annoying. Let's just write:
log("a.b.c", "msg");
Currently, the log macro requires at least one argument after the format string,
because of the way the preprocessor handles varargs macros. We can hide some of
that irritation by pushing the extra arguments into a varargs function.
Older Linux systems don't have O_CLOEXEC. If that's the case, we fcntl
immediately after open, to minimize the length of the racy period in
which an
operation in another thread can leak a file descriptor to a child.
On OS X, we rely on the zone machinery to call our prefork and postfork
handlers.
In zone_force_unlock, we call jemalloc_postfork_child, reinitializing all our
mutexes regardless of state, since the mutex implementation will assert if the
tid of the unlocker is different from that of the locker. This has the effect
of unlocking the mutexes, but also fails to wake any threads waiting on them in
the parent.
To fix this, we track whether or not we're the parent or child after the fork,
and unlock or reinit as appropriate.
This resolves#895.
Passing is_background_thread down the decay path, so that background thread
itself won't attempt inactivity_check. This fixes an issue with background
thread doing trylock on a mutex it already owns.
We use the minimal_initilized tsd (which requires no cleanup) for free()
specifically, if tsd hasn't been initialized yet.
Any other activity will transit the state from minimal to normal. This is to
workaround the case where a thread has no malloc calls in its lifetime until
during thread termination, free() happens after tls destructors.
This issue caused the default extent alloc function to be incorrectly
used even when arena.<i>.extent_hooks is set. This bug was introduced
by 411697adcd (Use exponential series to
size extents.), which was first released in 5.0.0.
To avoid complications, avoid invoking pthread_create "internally", instead rely
on thread0 to launch new threads, and also terminating threads when asked.
Avoid holding arenas_lock and background_thread_lock when creating background
threads, because pthread_create may take internal locks, and potentially cause
deadlock with jemalloc internal locks.
