Implement and test a JSON validation parser. Use the parser to validate
JSON output from malloc_stats_print(), with a significant subset of
supported output options.
This resolves#551.
Some system libraries are using malloc_default_zone() and then using
some of the malloc_zone_* API. Under normal conditions, those functions
check the malloc_zone_t/malloc_introspection_t struct for the values
that are allowed to be NULL, so that a NULL deref doesn't happen.
As of OSX 10.12, malloc_default_zone() doesn't return the actual default
zone anymore, but returns a fake, wrapper zone. The wrapper zone defines
all the possible functions in the malloc_zone_t/malloc_introspection_t
struct (almost), and calls the function from the registered default zone
(jemalloc in our case) on its own. Without checking whether the pointers
are NULL.
This means that a system library that calls e.g.
malloc_zone_batch_malloc(malloc_default_zone(), ...) ends up trying to
call jemalloc_zone.batch_malloc, which is NULL, and crash follows.
So as of OSX 10.12, the default zone is required to have all the
functions available (really, the same as the wrapper zone), even if they
do nothing.
This is arguably a bug in libsystem_malloc in OSX 10.12, but jemalloc
still needs to work in that case.
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.
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.
These bugs were introduced by 0ba5b9b618
(Add "J" (JSON) support to malloc_stats_print().), which was backported
as b599b32280 (with the same bugs except
the inapplicable "metatata" misspelling) and first released in 4.3.0.
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.
Some versions of Android provide a pthreads library without providing
pthread_atfork(), so in practice a separate feature test is necessary
for the latter.
Add feature tests for the MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED flags to
madvise(2), so that MADV_FREE is detected and used for Linux kernel
versions 4.5 and newer. Refactor pages_purge() so that on systems which
support both flags, MADV_FREE is preferred over MADV_DONTNEED.
This resolves#387.
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.
Do not call s2u() during alloc_size computation, since any necessary
ceiling increase is taken care of later by extent_first_best_fit() -->
extent_size_quantize_ceil(), and the s2u() call may erroneously cause a
higher quantization result.
Remove an overly strict overflow check that was added in
4a7852137d (Fix extent_recycle()'s
cache-oblivious padding support.).
Add padding *after* computing the size class, so that the optimal size
class isn't skipped during search for a usable extent. This regression
was caused by b46261d58b (Implement
cache-oblivious support for huge size classes.).
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.
rtree_node_init spinlocks the node, allocates, and then sets the node.
This is under heavy contention at the top of the tree if many threads
start to allocate at the same time.
Instead, take a per-rtree sleeping mutex to reduce spinning. Tested
both pthreads and osx OSSpinLock, and both reduce spinning adequately

Fix zone_force_unlock() to reinitialize, rather than unlocking mutexes,
since OS X 10.12 cannot tolerate a child unlocking mutexes that were
locked by its parent.
Refactor; this was a side effect of experimenting with zone
{de,re}registration during fork(2).
