Optimize [nmd]alloc() fast paths such that the (flags == 0) case is
streamlined, flags decoding only happens to the minimum degree
necessary, and no conditionals are repeated.
__*_hook() is glibc, but on at least one glibc platform (homebrew),
the __GLIBC__ define isn't set correctly and we miss being able to
use these hooks.
Do a feature test for it during configuration so that we enable it
anywhere the hooks are actually available.
Rename data structures (prof_thr_cnt_t-->prof_tctx_t,
prof_ctx_t-->prof_gctx_t), and convert to storing a prof_tctx_t for
sampled objects.
Convert PROF_ALLOC_PREP() to prof_alloc_prep(), since precise backtrace
depth within jemalloc functions is no longer an issue (pprof prunes
irrelevant frames).
Implement mallctl's:
- prof.reset implements full sample data reset, and optional change of
sample interval.
- prof.lg_sample reads the current sample interval (opt.lg_prof_sample
was the permanent source of truth prior to prof.reset).
- thread.prof.name provides naming capability for threads within heap
profile dumps.
- thread.prof.active makes it possible to activate/deactivate heap
profiling for individual threads.
Modify the heap dump files to contain per thread heap profile data.
This change is incompatible with the existing pprof, which will require
enhancements to read and process the enriched data.
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.
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.
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.
Fix debug-only compilation failures introduced by changes to
prof_sample_accum_update() in:
6c39f9e059
refactor profiling. only use a bytes till next sample variable.
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.
The hash code, which has MurmurHash3 at its core, generates different
output depending on system endianness, so adapt the expected output on
big-endian systems. MurmurHash3 code also makes the assumption that
unaligned access is okay (not true on all systems), but jemalloc only
hashes data structures that have sufficient alignment to dodge this
limitation.
Add a cpp #define that removes 'restrict' keyword usage unless the
compiler definitely supports C99. As written, 'restrict' is only
enabled if the compiler supports the -std=gnu99 option (e.g. gcc and
llvm).
Reported by Tobias Hieta.
Avoid copying "jeprof" to a 1-byte buffer within prof_boot0() when heap
profiling is disabled. Although this is dead code under such
conditions, the compiler doesn't figure that part out.
Reported by Eduardo Silva.
