This is a prerequisite to achieving self-contained headers. Previously,
the various tsd implementation headers (`tsd_generic.h`,
`tsd_tls.h`, `tsd_malloc_thread_cleanup.h`, and `tsd_win.h`) relied
implicitly on being included in `tsd.h` after a variety of dependencies
had been defined above them. This commit instead makes these
dependencies explicit by splitting them out into a separate file,
`tsd_internals.h`, which each of the tsd implementation headers includes
directly.
At least for LLVM, [casting from an integer to a pointer hides provenance information](https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/performance/no-int-to-ptr.html)
and inhibits optimizations. Here's a [Godbolt link](https://godbolt.org/z/5bYPcKoWT)
showing how this change removes a couple unnecessary branches in
`phn_merge_siblings`, which is a very hot function. Canary profiles show
only minor improvements (since most of the cost of this function is in
cache misses), but there's no reason we shouldn't take it.
For the sake of consistency, function definitions and their
corresponding declarations should use the same names for parameters.
I've enabled this check in static analysis to prevent this issue from
occurring again in the future.
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.
Previously, small allocations which were sampled as part of heap
profiling were rounded up to `SC_LARGE_MINCLASS`. This additional memory
usage becomes problematic when the page size is increased, as noted in #2358.
Small allocations are now rounded up to the nearest multiple of `PAGE`
instead, reducing the memory overhead by a factor of 4 in the most
extreme cases.
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`.
Fix or suppress the remaining warnings generated by static analysis.
This is a necessary step before we can incorporate static analysis into
CI. Where possible, I've preferred to modify the code itself instead of
just disabling the warning with a magic comment, so that if we decide to
use different static analysis tools in the future we will be covered
against them raising similar warnings.
In #2433, I inadvertently introduced a regression which causes the use of
uninitialized data. Namely, the control path I added for the safety
check in `arena_prof_info_get` neglected to set `prof_info->alloc_tctx`
when the check fails, resulting in `prof_info.alloc_tctx` being
uninitialized [when it is read at the end of
`prof_free`](90176f8a87/include/jemalloc/internal/prof_inlines.h (L272)).
Static analysis flagged this. It's possible to segfault in the
`*_tree_remove` function generated by `rb_gen`, as `nodep` may
still be `NULL` after the initial for loop. I can confirm from reviewing
the fleetwide coredump data that this was in fact being hit in
production, primarily through `tctx_tree_remove`, and much more rarely
through `gctx_tree_remove`.
This is in preparation for upcoming changes I plan to make to this
logic. Extracting it into a common function will make this easier and
less error-prone, and cleans up the existing code regardless.
None of these are harmful, and they are almost certainly optimized
away by the compiler. The motivation for fixing them anyway is that
we'd like to enable static analysis as part of CI, and the first step
towards that is resolving the warnings it produces at present.
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.
`edata_cmp_summary_comp` is one of the very hottest functions, taking up
3% of all time spent inside Jemalloc. I noticed that all existing
callsites rely only on the sign of the value returned by this function,
so I came up with this equivalent branchless implementation which
preserves this property. After empirical measurement, I have found that
this implementation is 30% faster, therefore representing a 1% speed-up
to the allocator as a whole.
At @interwq's suggestion, I've applied the same optimization to
`edata_esnead_comp` in case this function becomes hotter in the future.
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.
This lowered the sizeof(prof_tdata_t) from 200 to 192 which is a round size
class. Afterwards the tdata_t size remain unchanged with the last commit, which
effectively inlined the storage of thread names for free.
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.
Also fixes what looks like an off by one error in the lazy aux list
merge part of the code that previously never touched the last node in
the aux list.
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.
Allows the use of getenv() rather than secure_getenv() to read MALLOC_CONF.
This helps in situations where hosts are under full control, and setting
MALLOC_CONF is needed while also setuid. Disabled by default.
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.
No currently-available version of Visual Studio C compiler supports
variable length arrays, even if it defines __STDC_VERSION__ >= C99.
As far as I know Microsoft has no plans to ever support VLAs in MSVC.
The C11 standard requires that the __STDC_NO_VLA__ macro be defined if
the compiler doesn't support VLAs, so fall back to alloca() if so.
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).
The option makes jemalloc use prctl with PR_SET_VMA to tag memory mappings with
"jemalloc_pg" or "jemalloc_pg_overcommit". This allows to easily identify
jemalloc's mappings in /proc/<pid>/maps. PR_SET_VMA is only available in Linux
5.17 and above.
At the time an attempt to compile jemalloc 5.3.0 with MSVC 2019 results in the followin error message:
> jemalloc/include/jemalloc/internal/edata.h:660: error C4576: a parenthesized type followed by an initializer list is a non-standard explicit type conversion syntax
