Fix a memory corruption bug in chunk_alloc_dss() that was due to
claiming newly allocated memory is zeroed.
Reverse order of preference between mmap() and sbrk() to prefer mmap().
Clean up management of 'zero' parameter in chunk_alloc*().
Using static memory when malloc_tsd_malloc fails means all threads share
the same wrapper and thus the same wrapped value. This defeats the purpose
of TSD.
Not setting the initialized member leads to randomly calling the cleanup
function in cases it shouldn't be called (and isn't called in other
implementations).
Change the "opt.lg_prof_sample" default from 0 to 19 (1 B to 512 KiB).
Change the "opt.prof_accum" default from true to false.
Add the "opt.prof_final" mallctl, so that "opt.prof_prefix" need not be
abused to disable final profile dumping.
Add a configure test to determine whether common mmap()/munmap()
patterns cause VM map holes, and only use munmap() to discard unused
chunks if the problem does not exist.
Unify the chunk caching for mmap and dss.
Fix options processing to limit lg_chunk to be large enough that
redzones will always fit.
Normalize arena_palloc(), chunk_alloc_mmap_slow(), and
chunk_recycle_dss() to use the same algorithm for trimming
over-allocation.
Add the ALIGNMENT_ADDR2BASE(), ALIGNMENT_ADDR2OFFSET(), and
ALIGNMENT_CEILING() macros, and use them where appropriate.
Remove the run_size_p parameter from sa2u().
Fix a potential deadlock in chunk_recycle_dss() that was introduced by
eae269036c (Add alignment support to
chunk_alloc()).
Implement Valgrind support, as well as the redzone and quarantine
features, which help Valgrind detect memory errors. Redzones are only
implemented for small objects because the changes necessary to support
redzones around large and huge objects are complicated by in-place
reallocation, to the point that it isn't clear that the maintenance
burden is worth the incremental improvement to Valgrind support.
Merge arena_salloc() and arena_salloc_demote().
Refactor i[v]salloc() to expose the 'demote' option.
This reverts commit 722b370399.
Unfortunately, glibc requires _GNU_SOURCE to be defined before including
string.h, but there is no reliable way to get the prototype within
jemalloc.h unless _GNU_SOURCE was already defined.
Use $((...)) for math in size_classes.h rather than expr, because it is
much faster. This is not supported syntax in the classic Bourne shell,
but all modern sh implementations support it, including bash, zsh, and
ash.
s/PAGE_SHIFT/LG_PAGE/g and s/PAGE_SIZE/PAGE/g.
Remove remnants of the dynamic-page-shift code.
Rename the "arenas.pagesize" mallctl to "arenas.page".
Remove the "arenas.chunksize" mallctl, which is redundant with
"opt.lg_chunk".
This reverts commit 96d4120ac0.
ivsalloc() depends on chunks_rtree being initialized. This can be
worked around via a NULL pointer check. However,
thread_allocated_tsd_get() also depends on initialization having
occurred, and there is no way to guard its call in free() that is
cheaper than checking whether ptr is NULL.
Generalize isalloc() to handle NULL pointers in such a way that the NULL
checking overhead is only paid when introspecting huge allocations (or
NULL). This allows free() and malloc_usable_size() to no longer check
for NULL.

Use ffsl() rather than ffs() plus bitshifting in ALLOCM_ALIGN(). The
original rational for using ffs() was portability, but the bitmap code
has since induced a hard dependency on ffsl().
Remove code that validates malloc_vsnprintf() and malloc_strtoumax()
against their namesakes. The validation code has adequately served its
usefulness at this point, and it isn't worth dealing with the different
formatting for %p with glibc versus other implementations for NULL
pointers ("(nil)" vs. "0x0").
Reported by Mike Hommey.
glibc uses memalign()/free() to allocate/deallocate TLS, which means
that it is unsafe to set TLS variables as a side effect of free() --
they may already be deallocated. Work around this by avoiding
tcache_create() within free().
Reported by Mike Hommey.
These functions may be available as inlines or as libgcc functions. In the
former case, a __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_n macro is defined. But we
still want to use these functions in the latter case, when we don't have
our own implementation.
Use FreeBSD-specific functions (_pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb(),
_malloc_{pre,post}fork()) to avoid bootstrapping issues due to
allocation in libc and libthr.
Add malloc_strtoumax() and use it instead of strtoul(). Disable
validation code in malloc_vsnprintf() and malloc_strtoumax() until
jemalloc is initialized. This is necessary because locale
initialization causes allocation for both vsnprintf() and strtoumax().
Force the lazy-lock feature on in order to avoid pthread_self(),
because it causes allocation.
Use syscall(SYS_write, ...) rather than write(...), because libthr wraps
write() and causes allocation. Without this workaround, it would not be
possible to print error messages in malloc_conf_init() without
substantially reworking bootstrapping.
Fix choose_arena_hard() to look at how many threads are assigned to the
candidate choice, rather than checking whether the arena is
uninitialized. This bug potentially caused more arenas to be
initialized than necessary.
Remove ephemeral mutexes from the prof machinery, and remove
malloc_mutex_destroy(). This simplifies mutex management on systems
that call malloc()/free() inside pthread_mutex_{create,destroy}().
Add atomic_*_u() for operation on unsigned values.
Fix prof_printf() to call malloc_vsnprintf() rather than
malloc_snprintf().
Implement tsd, which is a TLS/TSD abstraction that uses one or both
internally. Modify bootstrapping such that no tsd's are utilized until
allocation is safe.
Remove malloc_[v]tprintf(), and use malloc_snprintf() instead.
Fix %p argument size handling in malloc_vsnprintf().
Fix a long-standing statistics-related bug in the "thread.arena"
mallctl that could cause crashes due to linked list corruption.
Acquire/release arena bin locks as part of the prefork/postfork. This
bug made deadlock in the child between fork and exec a possibility.
Split jemalloc_postfork() into jemalloc_postfork_{parent,child}() so
that the child can reinitialize mutexes rather than unlocking them. In
practice, this bug tended not to cause problems.
Modify malloc_vsnprintf() validation code to verify that output is
identical to vsnprintf() output, even if both outputs are truncated due
to buffer exhaustion.
Implement aligned_alloc(), which was added in the C11 standard. The
function is weakly specified to the point that a minimally compliant
implementation would be painful to use (size must be an integral
multiple of alignment!), which in practice makes posix_memalign() a
safer choice.
Revert JE_COMPILABLE() so that it detects link errors. Cross-compiling
should still work as long as a valid configure cache is provided.
Clean up some comments/whitespace.
Implement malloc_vsnprintf() (a subset of vsnprintf(3)) as well as
several other printing functions based on it, so that formatted printing
can be relied upon without concern for inducing a dependency on floating
point runtime support. Replace malloc_write() calls with
malloc_*printf() where doing so simplifies the code.
Add name mangling for library-private symbols in the data and BSS
sections. Adjust CONF_HANDLE_*() macros in malloc_conf_init() to expose
all opt_* variable use to cpp so that proper mangling occurs.
Remove the lg_tcache_gc_sweep option, because it is no longer
very useful. Prior to the addition of dynamic adjustment of tcache fill
count, it was possible for fill/flush overhead to be a problem, but this
problem no longer occurs.
Add the --with-mangling configure option, which can be used to specify
name mangling on a per public symbol basis that takes precedence over
--with-jemalloc-prefix.
Expose the memalign() and valloc() overrides even if
--with-jemalloc-prefix is specified. This change does no real harm, and
simplifies the code.
Add nallocm(), which computes the real allocation size that would result
from the corresponding allocm() call. nallocm() is a functional
superset of OS X's malloc_good_size(), in that it takes alignment
constraints into account.
When jemalloc is used as a libc malloc replacement (i.e. not prefixed),
some particular setups may end up inconsistently calling malloc from
libc and free from jemalloc, or the other way around.
glibc provides hooks to make its functions use alternative
implementations. Use them.
Submitted by Karl Tomlinson and Mike Hommey.
Program-generate small size class tables for all valid combinations of
LG_TINY_MIN, LG_QUANTUM, and PAGE_SHIFT. Use the appropriate table to generate
all relevant data structures, and remove the distinction between
tiny/quantum/cacheline/subpage bins.
Remove --enable-dynamic-page-shift. This option didn't prove useful in
practice, and it prevented optimizations.
Add Tilera architecture support.
Remove opt.lg_prof_bt_max, and hard code it to 7. The original
intention of this option was to enable faster backtracing by limiting
backtrace depth. However, this makes graphical pprof output very
difficult to interpret. In practice, decreasing sampling frequency is a
better mechanism for limiting profiling overhead.
Remove the opt.lg_prof_tcmax option and hard-code a cache size of 1024.
This setting is something that users just shouldn't have to worry about.
If lock contention actually ends up being a problem, the simple solution
available to the user is to reduce sampling frequency.
When tiny size class support was first added, it was intended to support
truly tiny size classes (even 2 bytes). However, this wasn't very
useful in practice, so the minimum tiny size class has been limited to
sizeof(void *) for a long time now. This is too small to be standards
compliant, but other commonly used malloc implementations do not even
bother using a 16-byte quantum on systems with vector units (SSE2+,
AltiVEC, etc.). As such, it is safe in practice to support an 8-byte
tiny size class on 64-bit systems that support 16-byte types.
tcache_get() is inlined, so do the config_tcache check inside
tcache_get() and simplify its callers.
Make arena_malloc() an inline function, since it is part of the malloc()
fast path.
Remove conditional logic that cause build issues if --disable-tcache was
specified.
Remove structure magic, because 1) it is no longer conditional, and 2)
it stopped being very effective at detecting memory corruption several
years ago.
Convert configuration-related cpp conditional logic to use static
constant variables, e.g.:
#ifdef JEMALLOC_DEBUG
[...]
#endif
becomes:
if (config_debug) {
[...]
}
The advantage is clearer, more concise code. The main disadvantage is
that data structures no longer have conditionally defined fields, so
they pay the cost of all fields regardless of whether they are used. In
practice, this is only a minor concern; config_stats will go away in an
upcoming change, and config_prof is the only other major feature that
depends on more than a few special-purpose fields.
Rewrite prof_alloc_prep() as a cpp macro, PROF_ALLOC_PREP(), in order to
remove any doubt as to whether an additional stack frame is created.
Prior to this change, it was assumed that inlining would reduce the
total number of frames in the backtrace, but in practice behavior wasn't
completely predictable.
Create imemalign() and call it from posix_memalign(), memalign(), and
valloc(), so that all entry points require the same number of stack
frames to be ignored during backtracing.
