This is no longer part of the "core" functionality; we only need the stub
implementations as an end-to-end test of hpdata + psset interactions when
metadata is being modified. Treat them accordingly.
Using an edata_t both for hugepages and the allocations within those hugepages
was convenient at first, but has outlived its usefulness. Representing
hugepages explicitly, with their own data structure, will make future
development easier.
This was promised in the review of the introduction of geom_grow, but would have
been painful to do there because of the series that introduced it. Now that
those are comitted, renaming is easier.
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.
In previous designs, this was intended to be a sort of cache that couldn't fail.
In the current design, we want to use it just as a contention reduction
mechanism. Rewrite it with those goals in mind.
This (experimental, undocumented) functionality can be used by users to track
various statistics of interest at a finer level of granularity than the thread.
Previously all the small size classes were cached. However this has downsides
-- particularly when page size is greater than 4K (e.g. iOS), which will result
in much higher SMALL_MAXCLASS.
This change allows tcache_max to be set to lower values, to better control
resources taken by tcache.
This functions more like the serial number strategy of the ecache and
hpa_central_t. Longer-lived slabs are more likely to continue to live for
longer in the future.
For locality reasons, tcache bins are integrated in TSD. Allowing all size
classes to be cached has little benefit, but takes up much thread local storage.
In addition, it complicates the layout which we try hard to optimize.
This will be the centralized component of the coming hugepage allocator; the
source of larger chunks of memory from which smaller ones can be obtained.
These had no uses and complicated the API. As a rule we now expect to only use
thread-local randomization for contention-reduction reasons, so we only pay the
API costs and never get the functionality benefits.
This introduces a new sort of edata_t; a pageslab, and a set to manage them.
This is part of a series of a commits to implement a hugepage allocator; the
pageset will be per-arena, and track small page allocations requests within a
larger extent allocated from a centralized hugepage allocator.
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).
