Proposed fix for #1444 - ensure that `tls_callback` in the `#pragma comment(linker)`directive gets the same prefix added as it does i the C declaration.
This fixes a build failure when integrating with FreeBSD's libc. This
regression was introduced by d1e11d48d4
(Move tsd link and in_hook after tcache.).
This feature uses an dedicated arena to handle huge requests, which
significantly improves VM fragmentation. In production workload we tested it
often reduces VM size by >30%.
For low arena count settings, the huge threshold feature may trigger an unwanted
bg thd creation. Given that the huge arena does eager purging by default,
bypass bg thd creation when initializing the huge arena.
When custom extent_hooks or transparent huge pages are in use, the purging
semantics may change, which means we may not get zeroed pages on repopulating.
Fixing the issue by manually memset for such cases.
My distro offers a custom toolchain where it's not possible to make
static libs, so it's insufficient to just delete the libs I don't want.
I actually need to avoid building them in the first place.
This makes it possible to have multiple set of bins in an arena, which improves
arena scalability because the bins (especially the small ones) are always the
limiting factor in production workload.
A bin shard is picked on allocation; each extent tracks the bin shard id for
deallocation. The shard size will be determined using runtime options.
If there are 3 or more threads spin-waiting on the same mutex,
there will be excessive exclusive cacheline contention because
pthread_trylock() immediately tries to CAS in a new value, instead
of first checking if the lock is locked.
This diff adds a 'locked' hint flag, and we will only spin wait
without trylock()ing while set. I don't know of any other portable
way to get the same behavior as pthread_mutex_lock().
This is pretty easy to test via ttest, e.g.
./ttest1 500 3 10000 1 100
Throughput is nearly 3x as fast.
This blames to the mutex profiling changes, however, we almost never
have 3 or more threads contending in properly configured production
workloads, but still worth fixing.
Refactor tcache_fill, introducing a new function arena_slab_reg_alloc_batch,
which will fill multiple pointers from a slab.
There should be no functional changes here, but allows future optimization
on reg_alloc_batch.
Add unsized and sized deallocation fastpaths. Similar to the malloc()
fastpath, this removes all frame manipulation for the majority of
free() calls. The performance advantages here are less than that
of the malloc() fastpath, but from prod tests seems to still be half
a percent or so of improvement.
Stats and sampling a both supported (sdallocx needs a sampling check,
for rtree lookups slab will only be set for unsampled objects).
We don't support flush, any flush requests go to the slowpath.
