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
Default SEC max_alloc option value was 32k, disabling SEC for platforms with
lg-page=16. This change enables SEC for all platforms, making minimum max_alloc
value equal to PAGE.
Due to a bug in sec initialization, the number of cached size classes
was equal to 198. The bug caused the creation of more than a hundred of
unused bins, although it didn't affect the caching logic.
Before this commit, in case FreeBSD libc jemalloc was overridden by another
jemalloc, proper thread shutdown callback was involved only for the overriding
jemalloc. A call to _malloc_thread_cleanup from libthr would be redirected to
user jemalloc, leaving data about dead threads hanging in system jemalloc. This
change tackles the issue in two ways. First, for current and old system
jemallocs, which we can not modify, the overriding jemalloc would locate and
invoke system cleanup routine. For upcoming jemalloc integrations, the cleanup
registering function will also be redirected to user jemalloc, which means that
system jemalloc's cleanup routine will be registered in user's jemalloc and a
single call to _malloc_thread_cleanup will be sufficient to invoke both
callbacks.
While calculating the number of stashed pointers, multiple variables
potentially modified by a concurrent thread were used for the
calculation. This led to some inconsistencies, correctly detected by
the assertions. The change eliminates some possible inconsistencies by
using unmodified variables and only once a concurrently modified one.
The assertions are omitted for the cases where we acknowledge potential
inconsistencies too.
These jobs take about 20 minutes to complete. We don't want to enable
them until we switch to unlimited concurrency plan, otherwise the builds
will take way too long.
Implement the generation of Travis jobs for Windows. Currently, the
generated jobs replicate Appveyor setup and complete successfully. There
is support for MinGW GCC and MSVC compilers as well as 64 and 32 bit
compilation. Linux and MacOS jobs behave identically, but some
environment variables change - CROSS_COMPILE_32BIT=yes is added for
builds with cross compilation, empty COMPILER_FLAGS are not set anymore.
The option makes the process to exit with error code 1 if a memory leak
is detected. This is useful for implementing automated tools that rely
on leak detection.
To avoid potential issues with removing unintended files after 'make
uninstall', spaces are no longer allowed in install suffix. It's worth
mentioning, that with GNU Make on Linux spaces in install suffix didn't
work anyway, leading to errors in the Makefile. But being verbose
about this restriction makes it more transparent for the developers.
