The existing checks are good at finding such issues (on tcache flush), but not
so good at pinpointing them. Debug mode can find them, but sometimes debug mode
slows down a program so much that hard-to-hit bugs can take a long time to
crash.
This commit adds functionality to keep programs mostly on their fast paths,
while also checking every sized delete argument they get.
"Hooks" is really the best name for the module that will contain the publicly
exposed hooks. So lets rename the current "hooks" module (that hook external
dependencies, for reentrancy testing) to "test_hooks".
On x86 Linux, we define our own MADV_FREE if madvise(2) is available, but no
MADV_FREE is detected. This allows the feature to be built in and enabled with
runtime detection.
As part of the metadata_thp support, We now have a separate swtich
(JEMALLOC_HAVE_MADVISE_HUGE) for MADV_HUGEPAGE availability. Use that instead
of JEMALLOC_THP (which doesn't guard pages_huge anymore) in tests.
Added opt.background_thread to enable background threads, which handles purging
currently. When enabled, decay ticks will not trigger purging (which will be
left to the background threads). We limit the max number of threads to NCPUs.
When percpu arena is enabled, set CPU affinity for the background threads as
well.
The sleep interval of background threads is dynamic and determined by computing
number of pages to purge in the future (based on backlog).
Rather than using a manually maintained list of internal symbols to
drive name mangling, add a compilation phase to automatically extract
the list of internal symbols.
This resolves#677.
Control use of munmap(2) via a run-time option rather than a
compile-time option (with the same per platform default). The old
behavior of --disable-munmap can be achieved with
--with-malloc-conf=munmap:false.
This partially resolves#580.
This can catch bugs in which one header defines a numeric constant, and another
uses it without including the defining header. Undefined preprocessor symbols
expand to '0', so that this will compile fine, silently doing the math wrong.
Continue to use ivsalloc() when --enable-debug is specified (and add
assertions to guard against 0 size), but stop providing a documented
explicit semantics-changing band-aid to dodge undefined behavior in
sallocx() and malloc_usable_size(). ivsalloc() remains compiled in,
unlike when #211 restored --enable-ivsalloc, and if
JEMALLOC_FORCE_IVSALLOC is defined during compilation, sallocx() and
malloc_usable_size() will still use ivsalloc().
This partially resolves#580.
Simplify configuration by removing the --disable-tcache option, but
replace the testing for that configuration with
--with-malloc-conf=tcache:false.
Fix the thread.arena and thread.tcache.flush mallctls to work correctly
if tcache is disabled.
This partially resolves#580.
This is a biggy. jemalloc_internal.h has been doing multiple jobs for a while
now:
- The source of system-wide definitions.
- The catch-all include file.
- The module header file for jemalloc.c
This commit splits up this functionality. The system-wide definitions
responsibility has moved to jemalloc_preamble.h. The catch-all include file is
now jemalloc_internal_includes.h. The module headers for jemalloc.c are now in
jemalloc_internal_[externs|inlines|types].h, just as they are for the other
modules.
