Remove medium size classes, because concurrent dirty page purging is
no longer capable of purging inactive dirty pages inside active runs
(due to recent arena/bin locking changes).
Enhance tcache to support caching large objects, so that the same range
of size classes is still cached, despite the removal of medium size
class support.
Initialize small run header before dropping arena->lock,
arena_chunk_purge() relies on valid small run headers during run
iteration.
Add some assertions.
For bin-related allocation, protect data structures with bin locks
rather than arena locks. Arena locks remain for run
allocation/deallocation and other miscellaneous operations.
Restructure statistics counters to maintain per bin
allocated/nmalloc/ndalloc, but continue to provide arena-wide statistics
via aggregation in the ctl code.
Use chains of cached objects, rather than using arrays of pointers.
Since tcache_bin_t is no longer dynamically sized, convert tcache_t's
tbin to an array of structures, rather than an array of pointers. This
implicitly removes tcache_bin_{create,destroy}(), which further
simplifies the fast path for malloc/free.
Use cacheline alignment for tcache_t allocations.
Remove runtime configuration option for number of tcache bin slots, and
replace it with a boolean option for enabling/disabling tcache.
Limit the number of tcache objects to the lesser of TCACHE_NSLOTS_MAX
and 2X the number of regions per run for the size class.
For GC-triggered flush, discard 3/4 of the objects below the low water
mark, rather than 1/2.
Convert chunks_dirty from a red-black tree to a doubly linked list,
and use it to purge dirty pages from chunks in FIFO order.
Add a lock around the code that purges dirty pages via madvise(2), in
order to avoid kernel contention. If lock acquisition fails,
indefinitely postpone purging dirty pages.
Add a lower limit of one chunk worth of dirty pages per arena for
purging, in addition to the active:dirty ratio.
When purging, purge all dirty pages from at least one chunk, but rather
than purging enough pages to drop to half the purging threshold, merely
drop to the threshold.
Don't look for a shared libunwind if --with-static-libunwind is
specified.
Set SONAME when linking the shared libjemalloc.
Add DESTDIR support.
Add install_{include,lib/man} build targets.
Clean up compiler flag configuration.
Use left-leaning 2-3 red-black trees instead of left-leaning 2-3-4
red-black trees. This reduces maximum tree height from (3 lg n) to
(2 lg n).
Do lazy balance fixup, rather than transforming the tree during the down
pass. This improves insert/remove speed by ~30%.
Use callback-based iteration rather than macros.
Remove all functionality related to tracing. This functionality was
useful for understanding memory fragmentation during early algorithmic
design of jemalloc, but it had little utility for non-trivial
applications, due to the sheer volume of data written to disk.
Add the --disable-prof-libgcc configure option, and add backtracing
based on libgcc, which is used by default.
Fix a bug in hash().
Fix various configuration-dependent compilation errors.
If a custom small_size2bin table was required due to non-default size
class settings, memory allocation prior to initializing chunk parameters
would cause a crash due to division by 0. The fix re-orders the various
*_boot() function calls.
Bootstrapping is simpler now than it was before the base allocator
started just using the chunk allocator directly. This allows
arena_boot[01]() to be combined.
Add error detection for pthread_atfork() and atexit() function calls.
Fix a type mismatch for "arenas.nlruns" mallctl access. This bug caused
a crash during statistics printing on 64-bit systems.
Fix the "stats.active" mallctl to include active memory in huge objects.
Report active bytes for the whole application, as well as per arena.
Remove several unused variables.
A missing 'else' in chunk_alloc_mmap() caused an extra chunk to be
allocated every time the optimistic alignment path was entered, since
the following block would always be executed immediately afterward.
This chunk leak caused no increase in physical memory usage, but virtual
memory could grow until resource exaustion caused allocation failures.
Replace chunk stats code that was missing locking; this fixes a race
condition that could corrupt chunk statistics.
Converting malloc_stats_print() to use mallctl*().
Add a missing semicolon in th DSS code.
Convert malloc_tcache_flush() to a mallctl.
Convert malloc_swap_enable() to a set of mallctl's.
Use optional zeroing in arena_chunk_alloc() to avoid needless zeroing of
chunks. This is particularly important in the context of swapfile and
DSS allocation, since a long-lived application may commonly recycle
chunks.
Clean up whitespace.
Lock access of swap_avail when printing stats.
Use inttypes.h for portable printf() format specifiers, specifically for
uint64_t (PRIu64).
Change highchunks and curchunks stats from (unsigned long) to (size_t).
