Allocation requests can't directly create extents that exceed
HUGE_MAXCLASS, but extent merging can create them.
This fixes a regression caused by
8a03cf039c (Implement cache index
randomization for large allocations.) and first released in 4.0.0.
This resolves#497.
Fix arena_run_first_best_fit() to search all potentially non-empty
runs_avail heaps, rather than ignoring the heap that contains runs
larger than large_maxclass, but less than chunksize.
This fixes a regression caused by
f193fd80cf (Refactor runs_avail.).
This resolves#493.
Fix paren placement so that QUANTUM_CEILING() applies to the correct
portion of the expression that computes how much memory to base_alloc().
In practice this bug had no impact. This was caused by
5d8db15db9 (Simplify run quantization.),
which in turn fixed an over-allocation regression caused by
3c4d92e82a (Add per size class huge
allocation statistics.).
Fix arena_run_alloc_large_helper() to not convert size to usize when
searching for the first best fit via arena_run_first_best_fit(). This
allows the search to consider the optimal quantized size class, so that
e.g. allocating and deallocating 40 KiB in a tight loop can reuse the
same memory.
This regression was nominally caused by
5707d6f952 (Quantize szad trees by size
class.), but it did not commonly cause problems until
8a03cf039c (Implement cache index
randomization for large allocations.). These regressions were first
released in 4.0.0.
This resolves#487.
Fix chunk_alloc_cache() to support decommitted allocation, and use this
ability in arena_chunk_alloc_internal() and arena_stash_dirty(), so that
chunks don't get permanently stuck in a hybrid state.
This resolves#487.
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).
The raw clock variant is slow (even relative to plain CLOCK_MONOTONIC),
whereas the coarse clock variant is faster than CLOCK_MONOTONIC, but
still has resolution (~1ms) that is adequate for our purposes.
This resolves#479.
Some applications wrap various system calls, and if they call the
allocator in their wrappers, unexpected reentry can result. This is not
a general solution (many other syscalls are spread throughout the code),
but this resolves a bootstrapping issue that is apparently common.
This resolves#443.
This works around malloc_conf not being properly initialized by at least
the cygwin toolchain. Prior build system changes to use
-Wl,--[no-]whole-archive may be necessary for malloc_conf resolution to
work properly as a non-weak symbol (not tested).
This is generally correct (no need for weak symbols since no jemalloc
library is involved in the link phase), and avoids linking problems
(apparently unininitialized non-NULL malloc_conf) when using cygwin with
gcc.
glibc defines its malloc implementation with several weak and strong
symbols:
strong_alias (__libc_calloc, __calloc) weak_alias (__libc_calloc, calloc)
strong_alias (__libc_free, __cfree) weak_alias (__libc_free, cfree)
strong_alias (__libc_free, __free) strong_alias (__libc_free, free)
strong_alias (__libc_malloc, __malloc) strong_alias (__libc_malloc, malloc)
The issue is not with the weak symbols, but that other parts of glibc
depend on __libc_malloc explicitly. Defining them in terms of jemalloc
API's allows the linker to drop glibc's malloc.o completely from the link,
and static linking no longer results in symbol collisions.
Another wrinkle: jemalloc during initialization calls sysconf to
get the number of CPU's. GLIBC allocates for the first time before
setting up isspace (and other related) tables, which are used by
sysconf. Instead, use the pthread API to get the number of
CPUs with GLIBC, which seems to work.
This resolves#442.
Conditionalize use of --whole-archive on the platform plus compiler,
rather than on the ABI. This fixes a regression caused by
7b24c6e557 (Use --whole-archive when
linking integration tests on MinGW.).
This reverts 13473c7c66, which was
intended to work around bootstrapping issues when linking statically.
However, this actually causes problems in various other configurations,
so this reversion may force a future fix for the underlying problem, if
it still exists.
Prior to this change, the malloc_conf weak symbol provided by the
jemalloc dynamic library is always used, even if the application
provides a malloc_conf symbol. Use the --whole-archive linker option
to allow the weak symbol to be overridden.
Rather than protecting dss operations with a mutex, use atomic
operations. This has negligible impact on synchronization overhead
during typical dss allocation, but is a substantial improvement for
chunk_in_dss() and the newly added chunk_dss_mergeable(), which can be
called multiple times during chunk deallocations.
This change also has the advantage of avoiding tsd in deallocation paths
associated with purging, which resolves potential deadlocks during
thread exit due to attempted tsd resurrection.
This resolves#425.
Add spin_t and spin_{init,adaptive}(), which provide a simple
abstraction for adaptive spinning.
Adaptively spin during busy waits in bootstrapping and rtree node
initialization.
Explicitly disallow junk:true and junk:free runtime settings when
running in Valgrind, since deallocation-time junk filling and redzone
validation cause false positive Valgrind reports.
This resolves#470.
Simplify decay-based purging attempts to only be triggered when the
epoch is advanced, rather than every time purgeable memory increases.
In a correctly functioning system (not previously the case; see below),
this only causes a behavior difference if during subsequent purge
attempts the least recently used (LRU) purgeable memory extent is
initially too large to be purged, but that memory is reused between
attempts and one or more of the next LRU purgeable memory extents are
small enough to be purged. In practice this is an arbitrary behavior
change that is within the set of acceptable behaviors.
As for the purging fix, assure that arena->decay.ndirty is recorded
*after* the epoch advance and associated purging occurs. Prior to this
fix, it was possible for purging during epoch advance to cause a
substantially underrepresentative (arena->ndirty - arena->decay.ndirty),
i.e. the number of dirty pages attributed to the current epoch was too
low, and a series of unintended purges could result. This fix is also
relevant in the context of the simplification described above, but the
bug's impact would be limited to over-purging at epoch advances.
