Add allocm(), rallocm(), sallocm(), and dallocm(), which are a
functional superset of malloc(), calloc(), posix_memalign(),
malloc_usable_size(), and free().
Fix arena_chunk_dealloc() to put the new spare in a consistent state before
dropping the arena mutex to deallocate the previous spare.
Fix arena_run_dalloc() to insert a newly dirtied chunk into the
chunks_dirty list before potentially deallocating the chunk, so that dirty
page accounting is self-consistent.
Initialize bt2cnt_tsd so that cleanup at thread exit actually happens.
Associate (prof_ctx_t *) with allocated objects, rather than
(prof_thr_cnt_t *). Each thread must always operate on its own
(prof_thr_cnt_t *), and an object may outlive the thread that allocated it.
If the mean heap sampling interval is larger than one page, simulate
sampled small objects with large objects. This allows profiling context
pointers to be omitted for small objects. As a result, the memory
overhead for sampling decreases as the sampling interval is increased.
Fix a compilation error in the profiling code.
Properly set/clear CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED for all purged pages, according to
whether the pages are (potentially) file-backed or anonymous. This was
merely a performance pessimization for the anonymous mapping case, but
was a calloc()-related bug for the swap_enabled case.
Remove medium size classes, because concurrent dirty page purging is
no longer capable of purging inactive dirty pages inside active runs
(due to recent arena/bin locking changes).
Enhance tcache to support caching large objects, so that the same range
of size classes is still cached, despite the removal of medium size
class support.
Initialize small run header before dropping arena->lock,
arena_chunk_purge() relies on valid small run headers during run
iteration.
Add some assertions.
For bin-related allocation, protect data structures with bin locks
rather than arena locks. Arena locks remain for run
allocation/deallocation and other miscellaneous operations.
Restructure statistics counters to maintain per bin
allocated/nmalloc/ndalloc, but continue to provide arena-wide statistics
via aggregation in the ctl code.
Use chains of cached objects, rather than using arrays of pointers.
Since tcache_bin_t is no longer dynamically sized, convert tcache_t's
tbin to an array of structures, rather than an array of pointers. This
implicitly removes tcache_bin_{create,destroy}(), which further
simplifies the fast path for malloc/free.
Use cacheline alignment for tcache_t allocations.
Remove runtime configuration option for number of tcache bin slots, and
replace it with a boolean option for enabling/disabling tcache.
Limit the number of tcache objects to the lesser of TCACHE_NSLOTS_MAX
and 2X the number of regions per run for the size class.
For GC-triggered flush, discard 3/4 of the objects below the low water
mark, rather than 1/2.
Convert chunks_dirty from a red-black tree to a doubly linked list,
and use it to purge dirty pages from chunks in FIFO order.
Add a lock around the code that purges dirty pages via madvise(2), in
order to avoid kernel contention. If lock acquisition fails,
indefinitely postpone purging dirty pages.
Add a lower limit of one chunk worth of dirty pages per arena for
purging, in addition to the active:dirty ratio.
When purging, purge all dirty pages from at least one chunk, but rather
than purging enough pages to drop to half the purging threshold, merely
drop to the threshold.
Use left-leaning 2-3 red-black trees instead of left-leaning 2-3-4
red-black trees. This reduces maximum tree height from (3 lg n) to
(2 lg n).
Do lazy balance fixup, rather than transforming the tree during the down
pass. This improves insert/remove speed by ~30%.
Use callback-based iteration rather than macros.
