This is debug only and we keep it off the fast path. Moving it here simplifies
the internal logic.
This never tries to junk on regions that were shrunk via xallocx. I think this
is fine for two reasons:
- The shrunk-with-xallocx case is rare.
- We don't always do that anyway before this diff (it depends on the opt
settings and extent hooks in effect).
The small and large pathways share most of their logic, even if some of the
individual operations are different. We pull out the common logic into a
force-inlined function, and then specialize twice, once for each value of
"small".
The only time sharing an rtree context saves across extent operations isn't a
no-op is when tsd is unavailable. But this happens only in situations like
thread death or initialization, and we don't care about shaving off every
possible cycle in such scenarios.
Previously, tcache fill/flush (as well as small alloc/dalloc on the arena) may
potentially drop the bin lock for slab_alloc and slab_dalloc. This commit
refactors the logic so that the slab calls happen in the same function / level
as the bin lock / unlock. The main purpose is to be able to use flat combining
without having to keep track of stack state.
In the meantime, this change reduces the locking, especially for slab_dalloc
calls, where nothing happens after the call.
Check the is_head state before merging two extents. Disallow the merge if it's
crossing two separate mmap regions. This enforces first-fit (by not losing the
SN) at a very small cost.
Make the event module to accept two event types, and pass around the event
context. Use bytes-based events to trigger tcache GC on deallocation, and get
rid of the tcache ticker.
- NetBSD overcommits
- When mapping pages, use the maximum of the alignment requested and the
compiled-in PAGE constant which might be greater than the current kernel
pagesize, since we compile binaries with the maximum page size supported
by the architecture (so that they work with all kernels).
Add options stats_interval and stats_interval_opts to allow interval based stats
printing. This provides an easy way to collect stats without code changes,
because opt.stats_print may not work (some binaries never exit).
Eventually, we may fully break off the extent module; but not for some time. If
it's going to live on in a non-transitory state, it might as well have the nicer
name.
What we call an arena_ind is really the index associated with some particular
set of ehooks; the arena is just the user-visible portion of that. Making this
explicit, and reframing checks in terms of that, makes the code simpler and
cleaner, and helps us avoid passing the arena itself all throughout extent code.
This lets us put back an arena-specific assert.
Previously, it was really more like extents_alloc (it looks in an ecache for an
extent to reuse as its primary allocation pathway). Make that pathway more
explciitly like extents_alloc, and rename extent_alloc_wrapper_hard accordingly.
This will eventually completely wrap the eset, and handle concurrency,
allocation, and deallocation. For now, we only pull out the mutex from the
eset.
If there are custom extent hooks, pages_can_purge_lazy is not necessarily the
right guard. We could check ehooks_are_default too, but the case where
purge_lazy is unsupported is rare and getting rarer. Just checking the decay
interval captures most of the benefit.
When deferred initialization was added, initializing required copying
sizeof(extent_hooks_t) bytes after a pointer chase. Today, it's just a single
pointer loaded from the base_t. In subsequent diffs, we'll get rid of even that.
Explicitly define three setters:
- `prof_tctx_reset()`: set `prof_tctx` to `1U`, if we don't know in
advance whether the allocation is large or not;
- `prof_tctx_reset_sampled()`: set `prof_tctx` to `1U`, if we already
know in advance that the allocation is large;
- `prof_info_set()`: set a real `prof_tctx`, and also set other
profiling info e.g. the allocation time.
Code structure wise, the prof level is kept as a thin wrapper, the
large level only provides low level setter APIs, and the arena level
carries out the main logic.
Fold the tsd_state check onto the event threshold check. The fast threshold is
set to 0 when tsd switch to non-nominal.
The fast_threshold can be reset by remote threads, to refect the non nominal tsd
state change.
Develop new data structure and code logic for holding profiling
related information stored in the extent that may be needed after the
extent is released, which in particular is the case for the
reallocation code path (e.g. in `rallocx()` and `xallocx()`). The
data structure is a generalization of `prof_tctx_t`: we previously
only copy out the `prof_tctx` before the extent is released, but we
may be in need of additional fields. Currently the only additional
field is the allocation time field, but there may be more fields in
the future.
The restructuring also resolved a bug: `prof_realloc()` mistakenly
passed the new `ptr` to `prof_free_sampled_object()`, but passing in
the `old_ptr` would crash because it's already been released. Now
the essential profiling information is collectively copied out early
and safely passed to `prof_free_sampled_object()` after the extent is
released.
Summary:
Add support for C++17 over-aligned allocation:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2016/p0035r4.html
Supporting all 10 operators means we avoid thunking thru libstdc++-v3/libsupc++ and just call jemalloc directly.
It's also worth noting that there is now an aligned *and sized* operator delete:
```
void operator delete(void* ptr, std::size_t size, std::align_val_t al) noexcept;
```
If JeMalloc did not provide this, the default implementation would ignore the size parameter entirely:
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/libstdc%2B%2B-v3/libsupc%2B%2B/del_opsa.cc#L30-L33
(I must also update ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 to a newer version with C++17 support.)
Test Plan:
Wrote a simple test that allocates and then deletes an over-aligned type:
```
struct alignas(32) Foo {};
Foo *f;
int main()
{
f = new Foo;
delete f;
}
```
Before this change, both new and delete go thru PLT, and we end up calling regular old free:
```
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function main():
...
0x00000000004029b7 <+55>: call 0x4022d0 <_ZnwmSt11align_val_t@plt>
...
0x00000000004029d5 <+85>: call 0x4022e0 <_ZdlPvmSt11align_val_t@plt>
...
(gdb) s
free (ptr=0x7ffff6408020) at /home/engshare/third-party2/jemalloc/master/src/jemalloc.git-trunk/src/jemalloc.c:2842
2842 if (!free_fastpath(ptr, 0, false)) {
```
After this change, we directly call new/delete and ultimately call sdallocx:
```
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function main():
...
0x0000000000402b77 <+55>: call 0x496ca0 <operator new(unsigned long, std::align_val_t)>
...
0x0000000000402b95 <+85>: call 0x496e60 <operator delete(void*, unsigned long, std::align_val_t)>
...
(gdb) s
116 je_sdallocx_noflags(ptr, size);
```
Makes the prof sample prng use the tsd prng_state. This allows us to properly
initialize the sample interval event, without having to create tdata. As a
result, tdata will be created on demand (when a thread reaches the sample
interval bytes allocated), instead of on the first allocation.
Clang since r369414 (clang-10) can now check -Wimplicit-fallthrough for
C code, and use the GNU C style attribute to denote fallthrough.
Move the test from header only to autoconf. The previous test used
brittle version detection which did not work for newer clang that
supported this feature.
The attribute has to be its own statement, hence the added `;`. It also
can only precede case statements, so the final cases should be
explicitly terminated with break statements.

some architecture like AArch64 may not have the open syscall, but have
openat syscall. so check and use SYS_openat if SYS_openat available if
SYS_open is not supported at init_thp_state.
`tcache_bin_info` is not accessed on malloc fast path but the
compiler reserves a register for it, as well as an additional
register for `tcache_bin_info[ind].stack_size`. The optimization
gets rid of the need for the two registers.
This change suppresses tdata initialization and prof sample threshold
update in interrupting malloc calls. Interrupting calls have no need
for tdata. Delaying tdata creation aligns better with our lazy tdata
creation principle, and it also helps us gain control back from
interrupting calls more quickly and reduces any risk of delegating
tdata creation to an interrupting call.
Specifically, the extent_arena_[g|s]et functions and the address randomization.
These are the only things that tie the extent struct itself to the arena code.
Added a new stats row to aggregate the maximum value of mutex counters for each
background threads. Given that the per bg thd mutex is not expected to be
contended, this counter is mainly for sanity check / debugging.
The bug is subtle but critical: if application performs the following
three actions in sequence: (a) turn `prof_active` off, (b) make at
least one allocation that triggers the malloc slow path via the
`if (unlikely(bytes_until_sample < 0))` path, and (c) turn
`prof_active` back on, then the application would never get another
sample (until a very very long time later).
The fix is to properly reset `bytes_until_sample` rather than
throwing it all the way to `SSIZE_MAX`.
A side minor change is to call `prof_active_get_unlocked()` rather
than directly grabbing the `prof_active` variable - it is the very
reason why we defined the `prof_active_get_unlocked()` function.
The -1 value of low_water indicates if the cache has been depleted and
refilled. Track the status explicitly in the tcache struct.
This allows the fast path to check if (cur_ptr > low_water), instead of >=,
which avoids reaching slow path when the last item is allocated.
With the cache bin metadata switched to pointers, ncached_max is usually
accessed and timed by sizeof(ptr). Store the results in tcache_bin_info for
direct access, and add a helper function for the ncached_max value.
Implement the pointer-based metadata for tcache bins --
- 3 pointers are maintained to represent each bin;
- 2 of the pointers are compressed on 64-bit;
- is_full / is_empty done through pointer comparison;
Comparing to the previous counter based design --
- fast-path speed up ~15% in benchmarks
- direct pointer comparison and de-reference
- no need to access tcache_bin_info in common case
Without buffering `malloc_stats_print` would invoke the write back
call (which could mean an expensive `malloc_write_fd` call) for every
single `printf` (including printing each line break and each leading
tab/space for indentation).
`tcache->prof_accumbytes` should always be cleared after being
transferred to arena; otherwise the allocations would be double
counted, leading to excessive prof dumps.
Refactored core profiling codebase into two logical parts:
(a) `prof_data.c`: core internal data structure managing & dumping;
(b) `prof.c`: mutexes & outward-facing APIs.
Some internal functions had to be exposed out, but there are not
that many of them if the modularization is (hopefully) clean enough.
Prof logging is conceptually seperate from core profiling, so
split it out as a module of its own. There are a few internal
functions that had to be exposed but I think it is a fair trade-off.
W/o retain, split and merge are disallowed on Windows. Avoid doing first-fit
which needs splitting almost always. Instead, try exact fit only and bail out
early.
