Refactor bootstrapping to delay tsd initialization, primarily to support
integration with FreeBSD's libc.
Refactor a0*() for internal-only use, and add the
bootstrap_{malloc,calloc,free}() API for use by FreeBSD's libc. This
separation limits use of the a0*() functions to metadata allocation,
which doesn't require malloc/calloc/free API compatibility.
This resolves#170.
It often happens that code changes introduce mixed declarations, that then
break building with Visual Studio. Since the code style is to not use
mixed declarations anyways, we might as well enforce it with -Werror.
Currently pprof will print output for all threads if a single thread is not
specified, but this doesn't play well with many output formats (e.g., any of
the dot-based formats). Instead, default to printing just the overall profile
when no specific thread is requested.
This resolves#157.
In addition to true/false, opt.junk can now be either "alloc" or "free",
giving applications the possibility of junking memory only on allocation
or deallocation.
This resolves#172.
Fix OOM cleanup in huge_palloc() to call idalloct() rather than
base_node_dalloc(). This bug is a result of incomplete refactoring, and
has no impact other than leaking memory during OOM.
This provides in-place expansion of huge allocations when the end of the
allocation is at the end of the sbrk heap. There's already the ability
to extend in-place via recycled chunks but this handles the initial
growth of the heap via repeated vector / string reallocations.
A possible future extension could allow realloc to go from the following:
| huge allocation | recycled chunks |
^ dss_end
To a larger allocation built from recycled *and* new chunks:
| huge allocation |
^ dss_end
Doing that would involve teaching the chunk recycling code to request
new chunks to satisfy the request. The chunk_dss code wouldn't require
any further changes.
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
size_t chunk = 4 * 1024 * 1024;
void *ptr = NULL;
for (size_t size = chunk; size < chunk * 128; size *= 2) {
ptr = realloc(ptr, size);
if (!ptr) return 1;
}
}
dss:secondary: 0.083s
dss:primary: 0.083s
After:
dss:secondary: 0.083s
dss:primary: 0.003s
The dss heap grows in the upwards direction, so the oldest chunks are at
the low addresses and they are used first. Linux prefers to grow the
mmap heap downwards, so the trick will not work in the *current* mmap
chunk allocator as a huge allocation will only be at the top of the heap
in a contrived case.
Fix quarantine to actually update tsd when expanding, and to avoid
double initialization (leaking the first quarantine) due to recursive
initialization.
This resolves#161.
* use sized deallocation in iralloct_realign
* iralloc and ixalloc always need the old size, so pass it in from the
caller where it's often already calculated
The size of the source allocation is known at this point, so reading the
chunk header can be avoided for the small size class fast path. This is
not very useful right now, but it provides a significant performance
boost with an alternate ralloc entry point taking the old size.
Purge trailing pages during shrinking huge reallocation when resulting
size is not a multiple of the chunk size. Similarly, zero pages if
necessary during growing huge reallocation when the resulting size is
not a multiple of the chunk size.
Add the 'util' column, which reports the proportion of available regions
that are currently in use for each small size class. Small run
utilization is the complement of external fragmentation. For example,
utilization of 0.75 indicates that 25% of small run memory is consumed
by external fragmentation, in other (more obtuse) words, 33% external
fragmentation overhead.
This resolves#27.
Add per size class huge allocation statistics, and normalize various
stats:
- Change the arenas.nlruns type from size_t to unsigned.
- Add the arenas.nhchunks and arenas.hchunks.<i>.size mallctl's.
- Replace the stats.arenas.<i>.bins.<j>.allocated mallctl with
stats.arenas.<i>.bins.<j>.curregs .
- Add the stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.nmalloc,
stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.ndalloc,
stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.nrequests, and
stats.arenas.<i>.hchunks.<j>.curhchunks mallctl's.
Fix a prof_tctx_t/prof_tdata_t cleanup race by storing a copy of thr_uid
in prof_tctx_t, so that the associated tdata need not be present during
tctx teardown.
Remove code in arena_dalloc_bin_run() that preserved the "clean" state
of trailing clean pages by splitting them into a separate run during
deallocation. This was a useful mechanism for reducing dirty page
churn when bin runs comprised many pages, but bin runs are now quite
small.
Remove the nextind field from arena_run_t now that it is no longer
needed, and change arena_run_t's bin field (arena_bin_t *) to binind
(index_t). These two changes remove 8 bytes of chunk header overhead
per page, which saves 1/512 of all arena chunk memory.
Add:
--with-lg-page
--with-lg-page-sizes
--with-lg-size-class-group
--with-lg-quantum
Get rid of STATIC_PAGE_SHIFT, in favor of directly setting LG_PAGE.
Fix various edge conditions exposed by the configure options.
