- `-Wmissing-prototypes` and `-Wmissing-variable-declarations` are
helpful for finding dead code and/or things that should be `static`
but aren't marked as such.
- `-Wunused-macros` is of similar utility, but for identifying dead macros.
- `-Wunreachable-code` and `-Wunreachable-code-aggressive` do exactly
what they say: flag unreachable code.
As reported in #2449, under certain circumstances it's possible to get
stuck in an infinite loop attempting to purge from the HPA. We now
handle this by validating the HPA settings at the end of
configuration parsing and either normalizing them or aborting depending on
if `abort_conf` is set.
Header files are now self-contained, which makes the relationships
between the files clearer, and crucially allows LSP tools like `clangd`
to function correctly in all of our header files. I have verified that
the headers are self-contained (aside from the various Windows shims) by
compiling them as if they were C files – in a follow-up commit I plan to
add this to CI to ensure we don't regress on this front.
For better or worse, Jemalloc has a significant number of global
variables. Making all eligible global variables `static` and/or `const`
at least makes it slightly easier to reason about them, as these
qualifications communicate to the programmer restrictions on their use
without having to `grep` the whole codebase.
Validate that small allocations (i.e. those with `size <= SC_SMALL_MAXCLASS`)
which are sampled for profiling maintain the expected invariants even
though they now take up less space.
We have observed new workload patterns (namely ML training type) that cycle
through oversized allocations frequently, because 1) the dataset might be sparse
which is faster to go through, and 2) GPU accelerated. As a result, the eager
purging from the oversize arena becomes a bottleneck. To offer an easy
solution, allow normal purging of the oversized extents when background threads
are enabled.
Additionally, added a GitHub Action to ensure no more trailing
whitespace will creep in again in the future.
I'm excluding Markdown files from this check, since trailing whitespace
is significant there, and also excluding `build-aux/install-sh` because
there is significant trailing whitespace on the line that sets
`defaultIFS`.
This tests the combination of the prof_recent and thread_name features.
Verified that it catches the issue being fixed in this PR.
Also explicitly set thread name in test/unit/prof_recent. This fixes the name
testing when no default thread name is set (e.g. FreeBSD).
The codebase is already very disciplined in making any function which
can be `static`, but there are a few that appear to have slipped through
the cracks.
Decay should not be triggered during reentrant calls (may cause lock order
reversal / deadlocks). Added a delay_trigger flag to the tickers to bypass
decay when rentrancy_level is not zero.
The previous approach managed the thread name in a separate buffer, which causes
races because the thread name update (triggered by new samples) can happen at
the same time as prof dumping (which reads the thread names) -- these two
operations are under separate locks to avoid blocking each other. Implemented
the thread name storage as part of the tdata struct, which resolves the lifetime
issue and also avoids internal alloc / dalloc during prof_sample.
The added hooks hooks.prof_sample and hooks.prof_sample_free are intended to
allow advanced users to track additional information, to enable new ways of
profiling on top of the jemalloc heap profile and sample features.
The sample hook is invoked after the allocation and backtracing, and forwards
the both the allocation and backtrace to the user hook; the sample_free hook
happens before the actual deallocation, and forwards only the ptr and usz to the
hook.
Summary:
Per issue #2356, some CXX compilers may optimize away the
new/delete operation in stress/cpp/microbench.cpp.
Thus, this commit (1) bumps the time interval to 1 if it is 0, and
(2) modifies the pointers in the microbench to volatile.
Previously if a thread does only allocations, it stays on the slow path /
minimal initialized state forever. However, dealloc-only is a valid pattern for
dedicated reclamation threads -- this means thread cache is disabled (no batched
flush) for them, which causes high overhead and contention.
Added the condition to fully initialize TSD when a fair amount of dealloc
activities are observed.
Add new runtime option `debug_double_free_max_scan` that specifies the max
number of stack entries to scan in the cache bit when trying to detect the
double free bug (currently debug build only).
Due to a bug in sec initialization, the number of cached size classes
was equal to 198. The bug caused the creation of more than a hundred of
unused bins, although it didn't affect the caching logic.
The option makes the process to exit with error code 1 if a memory leak
is detected. This is useful for implementing automated tools that rely
on leak detection.
Under high concurrency / heavy test load (e.g. using run_tests.sh), the
background thread may not get scheduled for a longer period of time. Retry 100
times max before bailing out.
