Unless heap profiling is enabled, disable floating point code and don't
link with libm. This, in combination with e.g. EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mno-sse on
x64 systems, makes it possible to completely disable floating point
register use. Some versions of glibc neglect to save/restore
caller-saved floating point registers during dynamic lazy symbol
loading, and the symbol loading code uses whatever malloc the
application happens to have linked/loaded with, the result being
potential floating point register corruption.
Refactor the test harness to support three types of tests:
- unit: White box unit tests. These tests have full access to all
internal jemalloc library symbols. Though in actuality all symbols
are prefixed by jet_, macro-based name mangling abstracts this away
from test code.
- integration: Black box integration tests. These tests link with
the installable shared jemalloc library, and with the exception of
some utility code and configure-generated macro definitions, they have
no access to jemalloc internals.
- stress: Black box stress tests. These tests link with the installable
shared jemalloc library, as well as with an internal allocator with
symbols prefixed by jet_ (same as for unit tests) that can be used to
allocate data structures that are internal to the test code.
Move existing tests into test/{unit,integration}/ as appropriate.
Split out internal parts of jemalloc_defs.h.in and put them in
jemalloc_internal_defs.h.in. This reduces internals exposure to
applications that #include <jemalloc/jemalloc.h>.
Refactor jemalloc.h header generation so that a single header file
results, and the prototypes can be used to generate jet_ prototypes for
tests. Split jemalloc.h.in into multiple parts (jemalloc_defs.h.in,
jemalloc_macros.h.in, jemalloc_protos.h.in, jemalloc_mangle.h.in) and
use a shell script to generate a unified jemalloc.h at configure time.
Change the default private namespace prefix from "" to "je_".
Add missing private namespace mangling.
Remove hard-coded private_namespace.h. Instead generate it and
private_unnamespace.h from private_symbols.txt. Use similar logic for
public symbols, which aids in name mangling for jet_ symbols.
Add test_warn() and test_fail(). Replace existing exit(1) calls with
test_fail() calls.
When using LinuxThreads pthread_setspecific triggers recursive
allocation on all threads. Work around this by creating a global linked
list of in-progress tsd initializations.
This modifies the _tsd_get_wrapper macro-generated function. When it has
to initialize an TSD object it will push the item to the linked list
first. If this causes a recursive allocation then the _get_wrapper
request is satisfied from the list. When pthread_setspecific returns the
item is removed from the list.
This effectively adds a very poor substitute for real TLS used only
during pthread_setspecific allocation recursion.

Fix a Valgrind integration flaw that caused Valgrind warnings about
reads of uninitialized memory in internal zero-initialized data
structures (relevant to tcache and prof code).
Add the JEMALLOC_ALWAYS_INLINE_C macro and use it for always-inlined
functions declared in .c files. This fixes a function attribute
inconsistency for debug builds that resulted in (harmless) compiler
warnings about functions not being inlinable.
Reported by Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez.
Add no-op bodies to VALGRIND_*() macro stubs so that they can be used in
contexts like the following without generating a compiler warning about
the 'if' statement having an empty body:
if (config_valgrind)
VALGRIND_MAKE_MEM_UNDEFINED(ret, size);
Checking for __s390x__ means you work on s390x, but not s390 (32bit)
systems. So use __s390__ which works for both.
With this, `make check` passes on s390.

Avoid writing to uninitialized TLS as a side effect of deallocation.
Initializing TLS during deallocation is unsafe because it is possible
that a thread never did any allocation, and that TLS has already been
deallocated by the threads library, resulting in write-after-free
corruption. These fixes affect prof_tdata and quarantine; all other
uses of TLS are already safe, whether intentionally (as for tcache) or
unintentionally (as for arenas).
Update hash from MurmurHash2 to MurmurHash3, primarily because the
latter generates 128 bits in a single call for no extra cost, which
simplifies integration with cuckoo hashing.
Tighten valgrind integration such that immediately after memory is
validated or zeroed, valgrind is told to forget the memory's 'defined'
state. The only place newly allocated memory should be left marked as
'defined' is in the public functions (e.g. calloc() and realloc()).
Purge unused dirty pages in an order that first performs clean/dirty run
defragmentation, in order to mitigate available run fragmentation.
Remove the limitation that prevented purging unless at least one chunk
worth of dirty pages had accumulated in an arena. This limitation was
intended to avoid excessive purging for small applications, but the
threshold was arbitrary, and the effect of questionable utility.
Relax opt_lg_dirty_mult from 5 to 3. This compensates for increased
likelihood of allocating clean runs, given the same ratio of clean:dirty
runs, and reduces the potential for repeated purging in pathological
large malloc/free loops that push the active:dirty page ratio just over
the purge threshold.
Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, so that it is possible to create new
arenas that are outside the set that jemalloc automatically multiplexes
threads onto.
Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm(), so that it is possible
to explicitly allocate from a particular arena.
Add the "opt.dss" mallctl, which controls the default precedence of dss
allocation relative to mmap allocation.
Add the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl, which makes it possible to set the
default dss precedence on a per arena or global basis.
Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge".
Add the "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctl.
Add a library constructor for jemalloc that initializes the allocator.
This fixes a race that could occur if threads were created by the main
thread prior to any memory allocation, followed by fork(2), and then
memory allocation in the child process.
Fix the prefork/postfork functions to acquire/release the ctl, prof, and
rtree mutexes. This fixes various fork() child process deadlocks, but
one possible deadlock remains (intentionally) unaddressed: prof
backtracing can acquire runtime library mutexes, so deadlock is still
possible if heap profiling is enabled during fork(). This deadlock is
known to be a real issue in at least the case of libgcc-based
backtracing.
Reported by tfengjun.
mlockall(2) can cause purging via madvise(2) to fail. Fix purging code
to check whether madvise() succeeded, and base zeroed page metadata on
the result.
Reported by Olivier Lecomte.
Refactor code such that arena_mapbits_{large,small}_set() always
preserves the unzeroed flag, and manually manipulate the unzeroed flag
in the one case where it actually gets reset (in arena_chunk_purge()).
This fixes unzeroed preservation bugs in arena_run_split() and
arena_ralloc_large_grow(). These bugs caused large calloc() to return
non-zeroed memory under some circumstances.
Add the --enable-mremap option, and disable the use of mremap(2) by
default, for the same reason that freeing chunks via munmap(2) is
disabled by default on Linux: semi-permanent VM map fragmentation.
Further optimize arena_salloc() to only look at the binind chunk map
bits in the common case.
Add more sanity checks to arena_salloc() that detect chunk map
inconsistencies for large allocations (whether due to allocator bugs or
application bugs).
Embed the bin index for small page runs into the chunk page map, in
order to omit [...] in the following dependent load sequence:
ptr-->mapelm-->[run-->bin-->]bin_info
Move various non-critcal code out of the inlined function chain into
helper functions (tcache_event_hard(), arena_dalloc_small(), and
locking).
Theses newly added macros will be used to implement the equivalent under
MSVC. Also, move the definitions to headers, where they make more sense,
and for some, are even more useful there (e.g. malloc).
- Use the extensions autoconf finds for object and executable files.
- Remove the sorev variable, and replace SOREV definition with sorev's.
- Default to je_ prefix on win32.
Using errno on win32 doesn't quite work, because the value set in a shared
library can't be read from e.g. an executable calling the function setting
errno.
At the same time, since buferror always uses errno/GetLastError, don't pass
it.
MSVC doesn't support C99, and building as C++ to be able to use them is
dangerous, as C++ and C99 are incompatible.
Introduce a VARIABLE_ARRAY macro that either uses VLA when supported,
or alloca() otherwise. Note that using alloca() inside loops doesn't
quite work like VLAs, thus the use of VARIABLE_ARRAY there is discouraged.
It might be worth investigating ways to check whether VARIABLE_ARRAY is
used in such context at runtime in debug builds and bail out if that
happens.
MSVC doesn't support C99, and as such doesn't support designated
initialization of structs and unions. As there is never a mix of
indexed and named nodes, it is pretty straightforward to use a
different type for each.
Fix a potential deadlock that could occur during interval- and
growth-triggered heap profile dumps.
Fix an off-by-one heap profile statistics bug that could be observed in
interval- and growth-triggered heap profiles.
Fix heap profile dump filename sequence numbers (regression during
conversion to malloc_snprintf()).
Remove mmap_unaligned, which was used to heuristically decide whether to
optimistically call mmap() in such a way that could reduce the total
number of system calls. If I remember correctly, the intention of
mmap_unaligned was to avoid always executing the slow path in the
presence of ASLR. However, that reasoning seems to have been based on a
flawed understanding of how ASLR actually works. Although ASLR
apparently causes mmap() to ignore address requests, it does not cause
total placement randomness, so there is a reasonable expectation that
iterative mmap() calls will start returning chunk-aligned mappings once
the first chunk has been properly aligned.
Fix chunk_alloc_dss() to zero memory when requested.
Fix chunk_dealloc() to avoid chunk_dealloc_mmap() for dss-allocated
memory.
Fix huge_palloc() to always junk fill when requested.
Improve chunk_recycle() to report that memory is zeroed as a side effect
of pages_purge().
Fix a memory corruption bug in chunk_alloc_dss() that was due to
claiming newly allocated memory is zeroed.
Reverse order of preference between mmap() and sbrk() to prefer mmap().
Clean up management of 'zero' parameter in chunk_alloc*().
Using static memory when malloc_tsd_malloc fails means all threads share
the same wrapper and thus the same wrapped value. This defeats the purpose
of TSD.
Not setting the initialized member leads to randomly calling the cleanup
function in cases it shouldn't be called (and isn't called in other
implementations).
Change the "opt.lg_prof_sample" default from 0 to 19 (1 B to 512 KiB).
Change the "opt.prof_accum" default from true to false.
Add the "opt.prof_final" mallctl, so that "opt.prof_prefix" need not be
abused to disable final profile dumping.
Add a configure test to determine whether common mmap()/munmap()
patterns cause VM map holes, and only use munmap() to discard unused
chunks if the problem does not exist.
Unify the chunk caching for mmap and dss.
Fix options processing to limit lg_chunk to be large enough that
redzones will always fit.
Normalize arena_palloc(), chunk_alloc_mmap_slow(), and
chunk_recycle_dss() to use the same algorithm for trimming
over-allocation.
Add the ALIGNMENT_ADDR2BASE(), ALIGNMENT_ADDR2OFFSET(), and
ALIGNMENT_CEILING() macros, and use them where appropriate.
Remove the run_size_p parameter from sa2u().
Fix a potential deadlock in chunk_recycle_dss() that was introduced by
eae269036c (Add alignment support to
chunk_alloc()).
Implement Valgrind support, as well as the redzone and quarantine
features, which help Valgrind detect memory errors. Redzones are only
implemented for small objects because the changes necessary to support
redzones around large and huge objects are complicated by in-place
reallocation, to the point that it isn't clear that the maintenance
burden is worth the incremental improvement to Valgrind support.
Merge arena_salloc() and arena_salloc_demote().
Refactor i[v]salloc() to expose the 'demote' option.
Use $((...)) for math in size_classes.h rather than expr, because it is
much faster. This is not supported syntax in the classic Bourne shell,
but all modern sh implementations support it, including bash, zsh, and
ash.
s/PAGE_SHIFT/LG_PAGE/g and s/PAGE_SIZE/PAGE/g.
Remove remnants of the dynamic-page-shift code.
Rename the "arenas.pagesize" mallctl to "arenas.page".
Remove the "arenas.chunksize" mallctl, which is redundant with
"opt.lg_chunk".
This reverts commit 96d4120ac0.
ivsalloc() depends on chunks_rtree being initialized. This can be
worked around via a NULL pointer check. However,
thread_allocated_tsd_get() also depends on initialization having
occurred, and there is no way to guard its call in free() that is
cheaper than checking whether ptr is NULL.
Generalize isalloc() to handle NULL pointers in such a way that the NULL
checking overhead is only paid when introspecting huge allocations (or
NULL). This allows free() and malloc_usable_size() to no longer check
for NULL.
Submitted by Igor Bukanov and Mike Hommey.
Remove code that validates malloc_vsnprintf() and malloc_strtoumax()
against their namesakes. The validation code has adequately served its
usefulness at this point, and it isn't worth dealing with the different
formatting for %p with glibc versus other implementations for NULL
pointers ("(nil)" vs. "0x0").
Reported by Mike Hommey.
glibc uses memalign()/free() to allocate/deallocate TLS, which means
that it is unsafe to set TLS variables as a side effect of free() --
they may already be deallocated. Work around this by avoiding
tcache_create() within free().
Reported by Mike Hommey.
These functions may be available as inlines or as libgcc functions. In the
former case, a __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_n macro is defined. But we
still want to use these functions in the latter case, when we don't have
our own implementation.
Use FreeBSD-specific functions (_pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb(),
_malloc_{pre,post}fork()) to avoid bootstrapping issues due to
allocation in libc and libthr.
Add malloc_strtoumax() and use it instead of strtoul(). Disable
validation code in malloc_vsnprintf() and malloc_strtoumax() until
jemalloc is initialized. This is necessary because locale
initialization causes allocation for both vsnprintf() and strtoumax().
Force the lazy-lock feature on in order to avoid pthread_self(),
because it causes allocation.
Use syscall(SYS_write, ...) rather than write(...), because libthr wraps
write() and causes allocation. Without this workaround, it would not be
possible to print error messages in malloc_conf_init() without
substantially reworking bootstrapping.
Fix choose_arena_hard() to look at how many threads are assigned to the
candidate choice, rather than checking whether the arena is
uninitialized. This bug potentially caused more arenas to be
initialized than necessary.
Remove ephemeral mutexes from the prof machinery, and remove
malloc_mutex_destroy(). This simplifies mutex management on systems
that call malloc()/free() inside pthread_mutex_{create,destroy}().
Add atomic_*_u() for operation on unsigned values.
Fix prof_printf() to call malloc_vsnprintf() rather than
malloc_snprintf().
Implement tsd, which is a TLS/TSD abstraction that uses one or both
internally. Modify bootstrapping such that no tsd's are utilized until
allocation is safe.
Remove malloc_[v]tprintf(), and use malloc_snprintf() instead.
Fix %p argument size handling in malloc_vsnprintf().
Fix a long-standing statistics-related bug in the "thread.arena"
mallctl that could cause crashes due to linked list corruption.
Acquire/release arena bin locks as part of the prefork/postfork. This
bug made deadlock in the child between fork and exec a possibility.
Split jemalloc_postfork() into jemalloc_postfork_{parent,child}() so
that the child can reinitialize mutexes rather than unlocking them. In
practice, this bug tended not to cause problems.
Modify malloc_vsnprintf() validation code to verify that output is
identical to vsnprintf() output, even if both outputs are truncated due
to buffer exhaustion.
Revert JE_COMPILABLE() so that it detects link errors. Cross-compiling
should still work as long as a valid configure cache is provided.
Clean up some comments/whitespace.
Implement malloc_vsnprintf() (a subset of vsnprintf(3)) as well as
several other printing functions based on it, so that formatted printing
can be relied upon without concern for inducing a dependency on floating
point runtime support. Replace malloc_write() calls with
malloc_*printf() where doing so simplifies the code.
Add name mangling for library-private symbols in the data and BSS
sections. Adjust CONF_HANDLE_*() macros in malloc_conf_init() to expose
all opt_* variable use to cpp so that proper mangling occurs.
Remove the lg_tcache_gc_sweep option, because it is no longer
very useful. Prior to the addition of dynamic adjustment of tcache fill
count, it was possible for fill/flush overhead to be a problem, but this
problem no longer occurs.
Add the --with-mangling configure option, which can be used to specify
name mangling on a per public symbol basis that takes precedence over
--with-jemalloc-prefix.
Expose the memalign() and valloc() overrides even if
--with-jemalloc-prefix is specified. This change does no real harm, and
simplifies the code.
Add nallocm(), which computes the real allocation size that would result
from the corresponding allocm() call. nallocm() is a functional
superset of OS X's malloc_good_size(), in that it takes alignment
constraints into account.
When jemalloc is used as a libc malloc replacement (i.e. not prefixed),
some particular setups may end up inconsistently calling malloc from
libc and free from jemalloc, or the other way around.
glibc provides hooks to make its functions use alternative
implementations. Use them.
Submitted by Karl Tomlinson and Mike Hommey.
Program-generate small size class tables for all valid combinations of
LG_TINY_MIN, LG_QUANTUM, and PAGE_SHIFT. Use the appropriate table to generate
all relevant data structures, and remove the distinction between
tiny/quantum/cacheline/subpage bins.
Remove --enable-dynamic-page-shift. This option didn't prove useful in
practice, and it prevented optimizations.
Add Tilera architecture support.
Remove opt.lg_prof_bt_max, and hard code it to 7. The original
intention of this option was to enable faster backtracing by limiting
backtrace depth. However, this makes graphical pprof output very
difficult to interpret. In practice, decreasing sampling frequency is a
better mechanism for limiting profiling overhead.
Remove the opt.lg_prof_tcmax option and hard-code a cache size of 1024.
This setting is something that users just shouldn't have to worry about.
If lock contention actually ends up being a problem, the simple solution
available to the user is to reduce sampling frequency.
When tiny size class support was first added, it was intended to support
truly tiny size classes (even 2 bytes). However, this wasn't very
useful in practice, so the minimum tiny size class has been limited to
sizeof(void *) for a long time now. This is too small to be standards
compliant, but other commonly used malloc implementations do not even
bother using a 16-byte quantum on systems with vector units (SSE2+,
AltiVEC, etc.). As such, it is safe in practice to support an 8-byte
tiny size class on 64-bit systems that support 16-byte types.
tcache_get() is inlined, so do the config_tcache check inside
tcache_get() and simplify its callers.
Make arena_malloc() an inline function, since it is part of the malloc()
fast path.
Remove conditional logic that cause build issues if --disable-tcache was
specified.
Remove structure magic, because 1) it is no longer conditional, and 2)
it stopped being very effective at detecting memory corruption several
years ago.
Convert configuration-related cpp conditional logic to use static
constant variables, e.g.:
#ifdef JEMALLOC_DEBUG
[...]
#endif
becomes:
if (config_debug) {
[...]
}
The advantage is clearer, more concise code. The main disadvantage is
that data structures no longer have conditionally defined fields, so
they pay the cost of all fields regardless of whether they are used. In
practice, this is only a minor concern; config_stats will go away in an
upcoming change, and config_prof is the only other major feature that
depends on more than a few special-purpose fields.
Rewrite prof_alloc_prep() as a cpp macro, PROF_ALLOC_PREP(), in order to
remove any doubt as to whether an additional stack frame is created.
Prior to this change, it was assumed that inlining would reduce the
total number of frames in the backtrace, but in practice behavior wasn't
completely predictable.
Create imemalign() and call it from posix_memalign(), memalign(), and
valloc(), so that all entry points require the same number of stack
frames to be ignored during backtracing.
