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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
