It turns out that the previous commit did not suffice since the
JEMALLOC_SYS_NOTHROW definition also causes the same exception specification
errors as JEMALLOC_USE_CXX_THROW did:
```

On systems using the musl C library we have to omit the exception specification
on malloc function family like it's done for MacOS, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
The added hooks hooks.prof_sample and hooks.prof_sample_free are intended to
allow advanced users to track additional information, to enable new ways of
profiling on top of the jemalloc heap profile and sample features.
The sample hook is invoked after the allocation and backtracing, and forwards
the both the allocation and backtrace to the user hook; the sample_free hook
happens before the actual deallocation, and forwards only the ptr and usz to the
hook.
Allows the use of getenv() rather than secure_getenv() to read MALLOC_CONF.
This helps in situations where hosts are under full control, and setting
MALLOC_CONF is needed while also setuid. Disabled by default.
Previously if a thread does only allocations, it stays on the slow path /
minimal initialized state forever. However, dealloc-only is a valid pattern for
dedicated reclamation threads -- this means thread cache is disabled (no batched
flush) for them, which causes high overhead and contention.
Added the condition to fully initialize TSD when a fair amount of dealloc
activities are observed.
No currently-available version of Visual Studio C compiler supports
variable length arrays, even if it defines __STDC_VERSION__ >= C99.
As far as I know Microsoft has no plans to ever support VLAs in MSVC.
The C11 standard requires that the __STDC_NO_VLA__ macro be defined if
the compiler doesn't support VLAs, so fall back to alloca() if so.
Add new runtime option `debug_double_free_max_scan` that specifies the max
number of stack entries to scan in the cache bit when trying to detect the
double free bug (currently debug build only).
The option makes jemalloc use prctl with PR_SET_VMA to tag memory mappings with
"jemalloc_pg" or "jemalloc_pg_overcommit". This allows to easily identify
jemalloc's mappings in /proc/<pid>/maps. PR_SET_VMA is only available in Linux
5.17 and above.
At the time an attempt to compile jemalloc 5.3.0 with MSVC 2019 results in the followin error message:
> jemalloc/include/jemalloc/internal/edata.h:660: error C4576: a parenthesized type followed by an initializer list is a non-standard explicit type conversion syntax
Default SEC max_alloc option value was 32k, disabling SEC for platforms with
lg-page=16. This change enables SEC for all platforms, making minimum max_alloc
value equal to PAGE.
Before this commit, in case FreeBSD libc jemalloc was overridden by another
jemalloc, proper thread shutdown callback was involved only for the overriding
jemalloc. A call to _malloc_thread_cleanup from libthr would be redirected to
user jemalloc, leaving data about dead threads hanging in system jemalloc. This
change tackles the issue in two ways. First, for current and old system
jemallocs, which we can not modify, the overriding jemalloc would locate and
invoke system cleanup routine. For upcoming jemalloc integrations, the cleanup
registering function will also be redirected to user jemalloc, which means that
system jemalloc's cleanup routine will be registered in user's jemalloc and a
single call to _malloc_thread_cleanup will be sufficient to invoke both
callbacks.
While calculating the number of stashed pointers, multiple variables
potentially modified by a concurrent thread were used for the
calculation. This led to some inconsistencies, correctly detected by
the assertions. The change eliminates some possible inconsistencies by
using unmodified variables and only once a concurrently modified one.
The assertions are omitted for the cases where we acknowledge potential
inconsistencies too.
The option makes the process to exit with error code 1 if a memory leak
is detected. This is useful for implementing automated tools that rely
on leak detection.
On deallocation, sampled pointers (specially aligned) get junked and stashed
into tcache (to prevent immediate reuse). The expected behavior is to have
read-after-free corrupted and stopped by the junk-filling, while
write-after-free is checked when flushing the stashed pointers.
nstime module guarantees monotonic clock update within a single nstime_t. This
means, if two separate nstime_t variables are read and updated separately,
nstime_subtract between them may result in underflow. Fixed by switching to the
time since utility provided by nstime.
Currently used only for guarding purposes, the hint is used to determine
if the allocation is supposed to be frequently reused. For example, it
might urge the allocator to ensure the allocation is cached.
