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 rtree_subkey() to use uintptr_t rather than unsigned for key
bitmasking. This regression was introduced by
4a346f5593 (Replace rtree path cache with
LRU cache.).
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.
Rework rtree_ctx_t to encapsulate an rtree leaf LRU lookup cache rather
than a single-path element lookup cache. The replacement is logically
much simpler, as well as slightly faster in the fast path case and less
prone to degraded performance during non-trivial sequences of lookups.
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.
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.
This is part of a broader change to make header files better represent the
dependencies between one another (see
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/533). It breaks up component headers
into smaller parts that can be made to have a simpler dependency graph.
For the autogenerated headers (smoothstep.h and size_classes.h), no splitting
was necessary, so I didn't add support to emit multiple headers.
Currently, jemalloc detects sparc64 targets by checking whether
__sparc64__ is defined. However, this definition is used on BSD
targets only. Linux targets define both __sparc__ and __arch64__
for sparc64. Since this also works on BSD, rather use __sparc__
and __arch64__ instead of __sparc64__ to detect sparc64 targets.
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.
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.
