This hints to the compiler that it should care more about space than CPU (among
other things). In cases where the compiler lacks profile-guided information,
this can be a substantial space savings.
For now, we mark the mallctl or atexit driven profiling and stats functions that
take up the most space.
At least one libc (musl) defines pthread_setname_np without defining
pthread_getname_np. Detect the presence of each individually, rather than
inferring both must be defined if set is.
These are detected at configure time while they are glibc
specifics. the bionic equivalent is not api compatible
and dlopen is restricted in this platform.
Specify the maximum number of regions in a slab, which is
(<lg-page> - <lg-tiny-min>) by default. This increases the limit of slab sizes
specified by "slab_sizes" in malloc_conf. This should never be less than
the default value. The max value of this option is related to LG_BITMAP_MAXBITS
(see more in bitmap.h).
For example, on a 4k page size system, if we:
1) configure jemalloc with with --with-lg-slab-maxregs=12.
2) export MALLOC_CONF="slab_sizes:9-16:4"
The slab size of 16 bytes is set to 4 pages. Previously, the default
lg-slab-maxregs is 9 (i.e. 12 - 3). The max slab size of 16 bytes is 2 pages
(i.e. (1<<9) * 16 bytes). By increasing the value from 9 to 12, the max slab
size can be set by MALLOC_CONF is 16 pages (i.e. (1<<12) * 16 bytes).
The existing checks are good at finding such issues (on tcache flush), but not
so good at pinpointing them. Debug mode can find them, but sometimes debug mode
slows down a program so much that hard-to-hit bugs can take a long time to
crash.
This commit adds functionality to keep programs mostly on their fast paths,
while also checking every sized delete argument they get.
These simplify a lot of the bit_util module, which had grown bits and pieces of
this functionality across a variety of places over the years.
While we're here, kill off BIT_UTIL_INLINE and don't do reentrancy testing for
bit_util.
Summary:
Add support for C++17 over-aligned allocation:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0035r4.html
Supporting all 10 operators means we avoid thunking thru libstdc++-v3/libsupc++ and just call jemalloc directly.
It's also worth noting that there is now an aligned *and sized* operator delete:
```
void operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size, std::align_val_t al) noexcept;
```
If JeMalloc did not provide this, the default implementation would ignore the size parameter entirely:
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/libstdc%2B%2B-v3/libsupc%2B%2B/del_opsa.cc#L30-L33
(I must also update ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 to a newer version with C++17 support.)
Test Plan:
Wrote a simple test that allocates and then deletes an over-aligned type:
```
struct alignas(32) Foo {};
Foo *f;
int main()
{
f = new Foo;
delete f;
}
```
Before this change, both new and delete go thru PLT, and we end up calling regular old free:
```
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function main():
...
0x00000000004029b7 <+55>: call 0x4022d0 <_ZnwmSt11align_val_t@plt>
...
0x00000000004029d5 <+85>: call 0x4022e0 <_ZdlPvmSt11align_val_t@plt>
...
(gdb) s
free (ptr=0x7ffff6408020) at /home/engshare/third-party2/jemalloc/master/src/jemalloc.git-trunk/src/jemalloc.c:2842
2842 if (!free_fastpath(ptr, 0, false)) {
```
After this change, we directly call new/delete and ultimately call sdallocx:
```
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function main():
...
0x0000000000402b77 <+55>: call 0x496ca0 <operator new(unsigned long, std::align_val_t)>
...
0x0000000000402b95 <+85>: call 0x496e60 <operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)>
...
(gdb) s
116 je_sdallocx_noflags(ptr, size);
```
Clang since r369414 (clang-10) can now check -Wimplicit-fallthrough for
C code, and use the GNU C style attribute to denote fallthrough.
Move the test from header only to autoconf. The previous test used
brittle version detection which did not work for newer clang that
supported this feature.
The attribute has to be its own statement, hence the added `;`. It also
can only precede case statements, so the final cases should be
explicitly terminated with break statements.

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.

Motivation:
This new experimental memory-allocaction API returns a pointer to
the allocation as well as the usable size of the allocated memory
region.
The `s` in `smallocx` stands for `sized`-`mallocx`, attempting to
convey that this API returns the size of the allocated memory region.
It should allow C++ P0901r0 [0] and Rust Alloc::alloc_excess to make
use of it.
The main purpose of these APIs is to improve telemetry. It is more accurate
to register `smallocx(size, flags)` than `smallocx(nallocx(size), flags)`,
for example. The latter will always line up perfectly with the existing
size classes, causing a loss of telemetry information about the internal
fragmentation induced by potentially poor size-classes choices.
Instrumenting `nallocx` does not help much since user code can cache its
result and use it repeatedly.
---
Implementation:
The implementation adds a new `usize` option to `static_opts_s` and an `usize`
variable to `dynamic_opts_s`. These are then used to cache the result of
`sz_index2size` and similar functions in the code paths in which they are
unconditionally invoked. In the code-paths in which these functions are not
unconditionally invoked, `smallocx` calls, as opposed to `mallocx`, these
functions explicitly.
