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.
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.
With `--with-jemalloc-prefix=` and without `-fno-builtin` or `-O1` both clang and gcc may optimize out `malloc` calls
whose result is unused. Comparing result to NULL also doesn't necessarily count as being used.
This won't be a problem in most client programs as this only concerns really unused pointers, but in
tests it's important to actually execute allocations.
`-fno-builtin` should disable this optimization for both gcc and clang, and applying it only to tests code shouldn't hopefully be an issue.
Another alternative is to force "use" of result but that'd require more changes and may miss some other optimization-related issues.
This should resolve https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/2091
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).
In arena_stats_merge() first nmalloc was read, and after ndalloc.
However with this order, it is possible for some thread to incement
ndalloc in between, and then nmalloc < ndalloc, and assertion will fail,
like again found by ClickHouse CI [1] (even after #2234).

Swap the order to avoid possible assertion.

Follow-up for: #2234
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
