Currently we have to log by writing something like:
static log_var_t log_a_b_c = LOG_VAR_INIT("a.b.c");
log (log_a_b_c, "msg");
This is sort of annoying. Let's just write:
log("a.b.c", "msg");
Currently, the log macro requires at least one argument after the format string,
because of the way the preprocessor handles varargs macros. We can hide some of
that irritation by pushing the extra arguments into a varargs function.
We use the minimal_initilized tsd (which requires no cleanup) for free()
specifically, if tsd hasn't been initialized yet.
Any other activity will transit the state from minimal to normal. This is to
workaround the case where a thread has no malloc calls in its lifetime until
during thread termination, free() happens after tls destructors.
Avoid holding arenas_lock and background_thread_lock when creating background
threads, because pthread_create may take internal locks, and potentially cause
deadlock with jemalloc internal locks.
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).
This lets us specify whether and how mutexes of the same rank are allowed to be
acquired. Currently, we only allow two polices (only a single mutex at a given
rank at a time, and mutexes acquired in ascending order), but we can plausibly
allow more (e.g. the "release uncontended mutexes before blocking").
Support millisecond resolution for decay times. Among other use cases
this makes it possible to specify a short initial dirty-->muzzy decay
phase, followed by a longer muzzy-->clean decay phase.
This resolves#812.
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.
This removes the tsd macros (which are used only for tsd_t in real builds). We
break up the circular dependencies involving tsd.
We also move all tsd access through getters and setters. This allows us to
assert that we only touch data when tsd is in a valid state.
We simplify the usages of the x macro trick, removing all the customizability
(get/set, init, cleanup), moving the lifetime logic to tsd_init and tsd_cleanup.
This lets us make initialization order independent of order within tsd_t.
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.
All mappings continue to be PAGE-aligned, even if the system page size
is smaller. This change is primarily intended to provide a mechanism
for supporting multiple page sizes with the same binary; smaller page
sizes work better in conjunction with jemalloc's design.
This resolves#467.
Previously we had a general detection and support of reentrancy, at the cost of
having branches and inc / dec operations on fast paths. To avoid taxing fast
paths, we move the reentrancy operations onto tsd slow state, and only modify
reentrancy level around external calls (that might trigger reentrancy).
Added tsd_state_nominal_slow, which on fast path malloc() incorporates
tcache_enabled check, and on fast path free() bundles both malloc_slow and
tcache_enabled branches.
With this change, when profiling is enabled, we avoid doing redundant rtree
lookups. Also changed dalloc_atx_t to alloc_atx_t, as it's now used on
allocation path as well (to speed up profiling).
