In the C11 atomics backport, we couldn't use not_reached() in
atomic_enum_to_builtin (in atomic_gcc_atomic.h), since atomic.h was hermetic and
assert.h wasn't; there was a dependency issue. assert.h is hermetic now, so we
can include it.
This is the first header refactoring diff, #533. It splits the assert and util
components into separate, hermetic, header files. In the process, it splits out
two of the large sub-components of util (the stdio.h replacement, and bit
manipulation routines) into their own components (malloc_io.h and bit_util.h).
This is mostly to break up cyclic dependencies, but it also breaks off a good
chunk of the catch-all-ness of util, which is nice.
Convert the nrequests field to be partially derived, and the curlextents
to be fully derived, in order to reduce the number of stats updates
needed during common operations.
This change affects ndalloc stats during arena reset, because it is no
longer possible to cancel out ndalloc effects (curlextents would become
negative).
This introduces a backport of C11 atomics. It has four implementations; ranked
in order of preference, they are:
- GCC/Clang __atomic builtins
- GCC/Clang __sync builtins
- MSVC _Interlocked builtins
- C11 atomics, from <stdatomic.h>
The primary advantages are:
- Close adherence to the standard API gives us a defined memory model.
- Type safety: atomic objects are now separate types from non-atomic ones, so
that it's impossible to mix up atomic and non-atomic updates (which is
undefined behavior that compilers are starting to take advantage of).
- Efficiency: we can specify ordering for operations, avoiding fences and
atomic operations on strongly ordered architectures (example:
`atomic_write_u32(ptr, val);` involves a CAS loop, whereas
`atomic_store(ptr, val, ATOMIC_RELEASE);` is a plain store.
This diff leaves in the current atomics API (implementing them in terms of the
backport). This lets us transition uses over piecemeal.
Testing:
This is by nature hard to test. I've manually tested the first three options on
Linux on gcc by futzing with the #defines manually, on freebsd with gcc and
clang, on MSVC, and on OS X with clang. All of these were x86 machines though,
and we don't have any test infrastructure set up for non-x86 platforms.
In the long term, we'll transition to C99-style inline semantics. In the
short-term, this will allow both styles to coexist without breaking one another.
Remove obsolete unit test scaffolding for extent quantization. Remove
redundant assertions. Add an assertion to
extents_first_best_fit_locked() that should help prevent aligned
allocation regressions.
We don't touch witness at all when config_debug == false. Let's only pay the
memory cost in malloc_mutex_s when needed. Note that when !config_debug, we keep
the field in a union so that we don't have to do #ifdefs in multiple places.
Extent splitting and coalescing is a major component of large allocation
overhead, and disabling coalescing of cached extents provides a simple
and effective hysteresis mechanism. Once two-phase purging is
implemented, it will probably make sense to leave coalescing disabled
for the first phase, but coalesce during the second phase.
This avoids a gcc diagnostic note:
note: The ABI for passing parameters with 64-byte alignment has
changed in GCC 4.6
This note related to the cacheline alignment of rtree_ctx_t, which was
introduced by 4a346f5593 (Replace rtree
path cache with LRU cache.).
Fix rtree_subkey() to use uintptr_t rather than unsigned for key
bitmasking. This regression was introduced by
4a346f5593 (Replace rtree path cache with
LRU cache.).
Rather than dynamically building a table to aid per level computations,
define a constant table at compile time. Omit both high and low
insignificant bits. Use one to three tree levels, depending on the
number of significant bits.
Rework rtree_ctx_t to encapsulate an rtree leaf LRU lookup cache rather
than a single-path element lookup cache. The replacement is logically
much simpler, as well as slightly faster in the fast path case and less
prone to degraded performance during non-trivial sequences of lookups.
Refactor arena and extent locking protocols such that arena and
extent locks are never held when calling into the extent_*_wrapper()
API. This requires extra care during purging since the arena lock no
longer protects the inner purging logic. It also requires extra care to
protect extents from being merged with adjacent extents.
Convert extent_t's 'active' flag to an enumerated 'state', so that
retained extents are explicitly marked as such, rather than depending on
ring linkage state.
Refactor the extent collections (and their synchronization) for cached
and retained extents into extents_t. Incorporate LRU functionality to
support purging. Incorporate page count accounting, which replaces
arena->ndirty and arena->stats.retained.
Assert that no core locks are held when entering any internal
[de]allocation functions. This is in addition to existing assertions
that no locks are held when entering external [de]allocation functions.
Audit and document synchronization protocols for all arena_t fields.
This fixes a potential deadlock due to recursive allocation during
gdump, in a similar fashion to b49c649bc1
(Fix lock order reversal during gdump.), but with a necessarily much
broader code impact.
Synchronize tcaches with tcaches_mtx rather than ctl_mtx. Add missing
synchronization for tcache flushing. This bug was introduced by
1cb181ed63 (Implement explicit tcache
support.), which was first released in 4.0.0.
The SDK jemalloc is built against might be not be the latest for various
reasons, but the resulting binary ought to work on newer versions of
OSX.
In order to ensure this, we need the fullest definitions possible, so
copy what we need from the latest version of malloc/malloc.h available
on opensource.apple.com.
Mostly revert the prof_realloc() changes in
498856f44a (Move slabs out of chunks.) so
that prof_free_sampled_object() is called when appropriate. Leave the
prof_tctx_[re]set() optimization in place, but add an assertion to
verify that all eight cases are correctly handled. Add a comment to
make clear the code ordering, so that the regression originally fixed by
ea8d97b897 (Fix
prof_{malloc,free}_sample_object() call order in prof_realloc().) is not
repeated.
This resolves#499.
This is part of a broader change to make header files better represent the
dependencies between one another (see
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/533). It breaks up component headers
into smaller parts that can be made to have a simpler dependency graph.
For the autogenerated headers (smoothstep.h and size_classes.h), no splitting
was necessary, so I didn't add support to emit multiple headers.
