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.
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.
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.
We have to work to circumvent the safety checks in pre_reentrancy when going
down extent hook pathways. Instead, let's explicitly have checked and unchecked
guards.
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.
