1. Pre-generate all default tcache ncached_max in tcache_boot;
2. Add getters returning default ncached_max and ncached_max_set;
3. Refactor tcache init so that it is always init with a given setting.
An allocation small enough will be promoted so that it does not
share an extent with others. However, when dalloc, such allocations
may not be dalloc as a promoted one if nbins < SC_NBINS. This
commit fixes the bug.
1. `thread_tcache_ncached_max_read_sizeclass` allows users to get the
ncached_max of the bin with the input sizeclass, passed in through
oldp (will be upper casted if not an exact bin size is given).
2. `thread_tcache_ncached_max_write` takes in a char array
representing the settings for bins in the tcache.
When using metadata_thp, allocate tcache bin stacks from base0, which means they
will be placed on huge pages along with other metadata, instead of mixed with
other regular allocations.
In order to do so, modified the base allocator to support limited reuse: freed
tcached stacks (from thread termination) will be returned to base0 and made
available for reuse, but no merging will be attempted since they were bump
allocated out of base blocks. These reused base extents are managed using
separately allocated base edata_t -- they are cached in base->edata_avail when
the extent is all allocated.
One tricky part is, stats updating must be skipped for such reused extents
(since they were accounted for already, and there is no purging for base). This
requires tracking the "if is reused" state explicitly and bypass the stats
updates when allocating from them.
1. add tcache_max and nhbins into tcache_t so that they are per-tcache,
with one auto tcache per thread, it's also per-thread;
2. add mallctl for each thread to set its own tcache_max (of its auto tcache);
3. store the maximum number of items in each bin instead of using a global storage;
4. add tests for the modifications above.
5. Rename `nhbins` and `tcache_maxclass` to `global_do_not_change_nhbins` and `global_do_not_change_tcache_maxclass`.
- `-Wmissing-prototypes` and `-Wmissing-variable-declarations` are
helpful for finding dead code and/or things that should be `static`
but aren't marked as such.
- `-Wunused-macros` is of similar utility, but for identifying dead macros.
- `-Wunreachable-code` and `-Wunreachable-code-aggressive` do exactly
what they say: flag unreachable code.
`read(2)` and `write(2)` may read or write fewer bytes than were
requested. In order to robustly ensure that all of the requested bytes
are read/written, these edge-cases must be handled.
There are several benefits to this:
1. It's cleaner and more reliable to use the builtin to
inform the compiler of assumptions instead of hoping that the
optimizer understands your intentions.
2. `clang` will warn you if any of your assumptions would produce
side-effects (which the compiler will discard). [This blog post](https://fastcompression.blogspot.com/2019/01/compiler-checked-contracts.html)
by Yann Collet highlights that a hazard of using the
`unreachable()`-based method of signaling assumptions is that it
can sometimes result in additional instructions being generated (see
[this Godbolt link](https://godbolt.org/z/lKNMs3) from the blog post
for an example).
As reported in #2449, under certain circumstances it's possible to get
stuck in an infinite loop attempting to purge from the HPA. We now
handle this by validating the HPA settings at the end of
configuration parsing and either normalizing them or aborting depending on
if `abort_conf` is set.
An arena's bins should normally be accessed via the `arena_get_bin`
function, which properly takes into account bin-shards. To ensure that
we don't accidentally commit code which incorrectly accesses the bins
directly, we mark the field with `__attribute__((deprecated))` with an
appropriate warning message, and suppress the warning in the few places
where directly accessing the bins is allowed.
Update from Ubuntu Focal Fossa to Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish. Staying up to
date is always good, but I'm also hoping that perhaps this newer release
contains fixes so that PowerPC VMs don't randomly hang indefinitely
while booting anymore, stalling our CI pipeline.
@interwq noticed [while reviewing an earlier PR](https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/pull/2478#discussion_r1256217261)
that I missed modifying this statistics accounting in line with the rest
of the changes from #2459. This is now fixed, such that sampled small
allocations increment the `.nmalloc`/`.ndalloc` of their effective bin
size instead of over-reporting memory usage by attributing all such
allocations to `SC_LARGE_MINCLASS`.
In many environments, the fallback `sbrk(2)` allocation path is never
used even if the system supports the syscall; if you're at the point
where `mmap(2)` is failing, `sbrk(2)` is unlikely to succeed. Without
changing the default, I've added the ability to disable the usage of DSS
altogether, so that you do not need to pay for the additional code size
and handful of extra runtime branches in such environments.
While this function isn't particularly hot, (accounting for just 0.27% of
time spent inside the allocator on average across the fleet), looking
at the generated assembly and performance profiles does show we're dispatching
to multiple different `memset`s when we could instead be just tail-calling
`memset` once, reducing code size and marginally improving performance.
In an attempt to make all headers self-contained, I inadvertently added
`#include`s which refer to intermediate, generated headers that aren't
included in the final install. Closes#2489.
Following from PR #2481, we replace all integer-to-pointer casts [which
hide pointer provenance information (and thus inhibit
optimizations)](https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/performance/no-int-to-ptr.html)
with equivalent operations that preserve this information. I have
enabled the corresponding clang-tidy check in our static analysis CI so
that we do not get bitten by this again in the future.
[N2699 - Sized Memory Deallocation](https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2699.htm)
introduced two new functions which were incorporated into the C23
standard, `free_sized` and `free_aligned_sized`. Both already have
analogues in Jemalloc, all we are doing here is adding the appropriate
wrappers.
Header files are now self-contained, which makes the relationships
between the files clearer, and crucially allows LSP tools like `clangd`
to function correctly in all of our header files. I have verified that
the headers are self-contained (aside from the various Windows shims) by
compiling them as if they were C files – in a follow-up commit I plan to
add this to CI to ensure we don't regress on this front.
This is a prerequisite to achieving self-contained headers. Previously,
the various tsd implementation headers (`tsd_generic.h`,
`tsd_tls.h`, `tsd_malloc_thread_cleanup.h`, and `tsd_win.h`) relied
implicitly on being included in `tsd.h` after a variety of dependencies
had been defined above them. This commit instead makes these
dependencies explicit by splitting them out into a separate file,
`tsd_internals.h`, which each of the tsd implementation headers includes
directly.
At least for LLVM, [casting from an integer to a pointer hides provenance information](https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/performance/no-int-to-ptr.html)
and inhibits optimizations. Here's a [Godbolt link](https://godbolt.org/z/5bYPcKoWT)
showing how this change removes a couple unnecessary branches in
`phn_merge_siblings`, which is a very hot function. Canary profiles show
only minor improvements (since most of the cost of this function is in
cache misses), but there's no reason we shouldn't take it.
For the sake of consistency, function definitions and their
corresponding declarations should use the same names for parameters.
I've enabled this check in static analysis to prevent this issue from
occurring again in the future.
Adding `-Wstrict-prototypes` to the default `CFLAGS` in PR #2473 had the
non-obvious side-effect of breaking configure-time feature detection,
because the [test-program `autoconf` generates for feature
detection](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.67/html_node/Generating-Sources.html#:~:text=main%20())
defines `main` as:
```c
int main()
```
Which causes all feature checks to fail, since this triggers
`-Wstrict-prototypes` and the feature checks use `-Werror`.
Resolved by only adding `-Wstrict-prototypes` to
`EXTRA_{CFLAGS,CXXFLAGS}` in CI, since these flags are not used during
feature detection and we control which compiler is used.
For better or worse, Jemalloc has a significant number of global
variables. Making all eligible global variables `static` and/or `const`
at least makes it slightly easier to reason about them, as these
qualifications communicate to the programmer restrictions on their use
without having to `grep` the whole codebase.
Validate that small allocations (i.e. those with `size <= SC_SMALL_MAXCLASS`)
which are sampled for profiling maintain the expected invariants even
though they now take up less space.
