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.

`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 -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
JSON format is largely meant for machine-machine communication, so
adding the option to the emitter. According to local testing, the
savings in terms of bytes outputted is around 50% for stats printing
and around 25% for prof log printing.
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.
Augmented the tsd layout graph so that the two recently added fields,
`offset_state` and `bytes_until_sample`, are properly reflected.
As is shown, the cache footprint is 16 bytes larger than before.

`prof.c` is growing too long, so trying to modularize it. There are
a few internal functions that had to be exposed but I think it is a
fair trade-off.
The VirtualAlloc and VirtualFree APIs are different because MEM_DECOMMIT cannot
be used across multiple VirtualAlloc regions. To properly support decommit,
only allow merge / split within the same region -- this is done by tracking the
"is_head" state of extents and not merging cross-region.
Add a new state is_head (only relevant for retain && !maps_coalesce), which is
true for the first extent in each VirtualAlloc region. Determine if two extents
can be merged based on the head state, and use serial numbers for sanity checks.
`cbopaque` can now be overriden without overriding `write_cb` in
the first place. (Otherwise there would be no need to have the
`cbopaque` parameter in `malloc_message`.)
If the confirm_conf option is set, when the program starts, each of
the four malloc_conf strings will be printed, and each option will
be printed when being set.
Small is added purely for convenience. Large flushes wasn't tracked before and
can be useful in analysis. Large fill simply reports nmalloc, since there is no
batch fill for large currently.
When config_stats is enabled track the size of bin->slabs_nonfull in
the new nonfull_slabs counter in bin_stats_t. This metric should be
useful for establishing an upper ceiling on the savings possible by
meshing.
Mainly fixing typos. The only non-trivial change is in the
computation for SC_NPSIZES, though the result wouldn't be any
different when SC_NGROUP = 4 as is always the case at the moment.
Summary: sdallocx is checking a flag that will never be set (at least in the provided C++ destructor implementation). This branch will probably only rarely be mispredicted however it removes two instructions in sdallocx and one at the callsite (to zero out flags).
The analytics tool is put under experimental.utilization namespace in
mallctl. Input is one pointer or an array of pointers and the output
is a list of memory utilization statistics.
