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.
Some architectures like AArch64 may not have the open syscall because it
was superseded by the openat syscall, so check and use SYS_openat if
SYS_open is not available.
Additionally, Android headers for AArch64 define SYS_open to __NR_open,
even though __NR_open is undefined. Undefine SYS_open in that case so
SYS_openat is used.
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.
Tracking extents is required by arena_reset. To support this, the extent
linkage was used for tracking 1) large allocations, and 2) full slabs. However
modifying the extent linkage could be an expensive operation as it likely incurs
cache misses. Since we forbid arena_reset on auto arenas, let's bypass the
linkage operations for auto arenas.
This avoids creating clean committed pages as a side effect of aligned
allocation. For configurations that decommit memory, purged pages are
decommitted, and decommitted extents cannot be coalesced with committed
extents. Unless the clean committed pages happen to be selected during
allocation, they cause unnecessary permanent extent fragmentation.
This resolves#766.
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.
Some systems use a native 64 KiB page size, which means that the bitmap
for the smallest size class can be 8192 bits, not just 512 bits as when
the page size is 4 KiB. Linear search in bitmap_{sfu,ffu}() is
unacceptably slow for such large bitmaps.
This reverts commit 7c00f04ff4.
Rather than using a LIFO queue to track available extent_t structures,
use a red-black tree, and always choose the oldest/lowest available
during reuse.
Reverse the order of forced versus lazy purging attempts in
base_unmap(), in order to match the order in extent_dalloc_wrapper(),
which was reversed by 64e458f5cd
(Implement two-phase decay-based purging.).
Two levels of rcache is implemented: a direct mapped cache as L1, combined with
a LRU cache as L2. The L1 cache offers low cost on cache hit, but could suffer
collision under circumstances. This is complemented by the L2 LRU cache, which
is slower on cache access (overhead from linear search + reordering), but solves
collison of L1 rather well.
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).
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.
Hyper-threaded CPUs may need a special instruction inside spin loops in
order to yield to another virtual CPU. The 'pause' instruction that is
available for x86 is not supported on Power.
Apparently the extended mnemonics like yield, mdoio, and mdoom are not
actually implemented on POWER8, although mentioned in the ISA 2.07
document. The recommended magic bits are an 'or 31,31,31'.
