Treat prof_tdata_t's bt2cnt as a comprehensive map of the thread's
extant allocation samples (do not limit the total number of entries).
This helps prepare the way for per thread heap profiling.
Fix runs_dirty-based purging to also purge dirty pages in the spare
chunk.
Refactor runs_dirty manipulation into arena_dirty_{insert,remove}(), and
move the arena->ndirty accounting into those functions.
Remove the u.ql_link field from arena_chunk_map_t, and get rid of the
enclosing union for u.rb_link, since only rb_link remains.
Remove the ndirty field from arena_chunk_t.
Fix the cactive statistic to decrease (rather than increase) when active
memory decreases. This regression was introduced by
aa5113b1fd (Refactor overly large/complex
functions) and first released in 3.5.0.
Some platforms, such as Google's Portable Native Client, use Newlib and
thus lack access to madvise(2). In those instances, pages_purge() is
transformed into a no-op.
Native Client doesn't allow forking, thus there is no need to catch
fork()ing events for Native Client.
Additionally, without this commit, jemalloc will introduce an unresolved
pthread_atfork() in PNaCl Rust bins.
Some platforms (like those using Newlib) don't have ffs/ffsl. This
commit adds a check to configure.ac for __builtin_ffsl if ffsl isn't
found. __builtin_ffsl performs the same function as ffsl, and has the
added benefit of being available on any platform utilizing
Gcc-compatible compiler.
This change does not address the used of ffs in the MALLOCX_ARENA()
macro.
Add size class computation capability, currently used only as validation
of the size class lookup tables. Generalize the size class spacing used
for bins, for eventual use throughout the full range of allocation
sizes.
Refactor huge allocation to be managed by arenas (though the global
red-black tree of huge allocations remains for lookup during
deallocation). This is the logical conclusion of recent changes that 1)
made per arena dss precedence apply to huge allocation, and 2) made it
possible to replace the per arena chunk allocation/deallocation
functions.
Remove the top level huge stats, and replace them with per arena huge
stats.
Normalize function names and types to *dalloc* (some were *dealloc*).
Remove the --enable-mremap option. As jemalloc currently operates, this
is a performace regression for some applications, but planned work to
logarithmically space huge size classes should provide similar amortized
performance. The motivation for this change was that mremap-based huge
reallocation forced leaky abstractions that prevented refactoring.
Add new mallctl endpoints "arena<i>.chunk.alloc" and
"arena<i>.chunk.dealloc" to allow userspace to configure
jemalloc's chunk allocator and deallocator on a per-arena
basis.
Simplify backtracing to not ignore any frames, and compensate for this
in pprof in order to increase flexibility with respect to function-based
refactoring even in the presence of non-deterministic inlining. Modify
pprof to blacklist all jemalloc allocation entry points including
non-standard ones like mallocx(), and ignore all allocator-internal
frames. Prior to this change, pprof excluded the specifically
blacklisted functions from backtraces, but it left allocator-internal
frames intact.
Forcefully disable tcache if running inside Valgrind, and remove
Valgrind calls in tcache-specific code.
Restructure Valgrind-related code to move most Valgrind calls out of the
fast path functions.
Take advantage of static knowledge to elide some branches in
JEMALLOC_VALGRIND_REALLOC().
Make dss non-optional on all platforms which support sbrk(2).
Fix the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl to return an error if "primary" or
"secondary" precedence is specified, but sbrk(2) is not supported.
Make promotion of sampled small objects to large objects mandatory, so
that profiling metadata can always be stored in the chunk map, rather
than requiring one pointer per small region in each small-region page
run. In practice the non-prof-promote code was only useful when using
jemalloc to track all objects and report them as leaks at program exit.
However, Valgrind is at least as good a tool for this particular use
case.
Furthermore, the non-prof-promote code is getting in the way of
some optimizations that will make heap profiling much cheaper for the
predominant use case (sampling a small representative proportion of all
allocations).
When you call free() we load chunk->arena even though that
data isn't used on the tcache hot path.
In profiling some FB applications, I found that ~30% of the
dTLB misses in the free() function come from this line. With
4 MB chunks, the arena_chunk_t->map is ~ 32 KB (1024 pages
in the chunk, 4 8 byte pointers in arena_chunk_map_t). This
means there's only a 1/8 chance of the page containing
chunk->arena also comtaining the map bits.
This happens when it fails to allocate a new chunk. Which
arena_chunk_alloc then passes into arena_avail_insert without any
checks. This then causes a crash when arena_avail_insert tries
to check chunk->ndirty.
This was introduced by the refactoring of arena_chunk_alloc
which previously would have returned NULL immediately after
calling chunk_alloc. This is now the return from
arena_chunk_init_hard so we need to check that return, and
not continue if it was NULL.
If mremap(2) is used for huge reallocation, physical pages are mapped to
new virtual addresses rather than data being copied to new pages. This
bypasses the normal junk filling that would happen during allocation, so
add junk filling that is specific to this case.
Refactor prof_dump() to use a two pass algorithm, and prof_leave() prior
to the second pass. This avoids write(2) system calls while holding
critical prof resources.
Fix prof_dump() to close the dump file descriptor for all relevant error
paths.
Minimize the size of prof-related static buffers when prof is disabled.
This saves roughly 65 KiB of application memory for non-prof builds.
Refactor prof_ctx_init() out of prof_lookup_global().
