Detect whether chunks start off as THP-capable by default (according to
the state of /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled), and use this
as the basis for whether to call pages_nohuge() once per chunk during
first purge of any of the chunk's page runs.
Add the --disable-thp configure option, as well as the the opt.thp
mallctl.
This resolves#541.
Implement and test a JSON validation parser. Use the parser to validate
JSON output from malloc_stats_print(), with a significant subset of
supported output options.
This resolves#583.
malloc_conf does not reliably work with MSVC, which complains of
"inconsistent dll linkage", i.e. its inability to support the
application overriding malloc_conf when dynamically linking/loading.
Work around this limitation by adding test harness support for per test
shell script sourcing, and converting all tests to use MALLOC_CONF
instead of malloc_conf.
Add the pages_[no]huge() functions, which toggle huge page state via
madvise(..., MADV_[NO]HUGEPAGE) calls.
The first time a page run is purged from within an arena chunk, call
pages_nohuge() to tell the kernel to make no further attempts to back
the chunk with huge pages. Upon arena chunk deletion, restore the
associated virtual memory to its original state via pages_huge().
This resolves#243.
Fix arena_run_first_best_fit() to search all potentially non-empty
runs_avail heaps, rather than ignoring the heap that contains runs
larger than large_maxclass, but less than chunksize.
This fixes a regression caused by
f193fd80cf (Refactor runs_avail.).
This resolves#493.
Rather than protecting dss operations with a mutex, use atomic
operations. This has negligible impact on synchronization overhead
during typical dss allocation, but is a substantial improvement for
chunk_in_dss() and the newly added chunk_dss_mergeable(), which can be
called multiple times during chunk deallocations.
This change also has the advantage of avoiding tsd in deallocation paths
associated with purging, which resolves potential deadlocks during
thread exit due to attempted tsd resurrection.
This resolves#425.
Instead, move the epoch backward in time. Additionally, add
nstime_monotonic() and use it in debug builds to assert that time only
goes backward if nstime_update() is using a non-monotonic time source.
Use pszind_t size classes rather than szind_t size classes, and always
reserve space for NPSIZES elements. This removes unused heaps that are
not multiples of the page size, and adds (currently) unused heaps for
all huge size classes, with the immediate benefit that the size of
arena_t allocations is constant (no longer dependent on chunk size).
These compute size classes and indices similarly to size2index(),
index2size() and s2u(), respectively, but using the subset of size
classes that are multiples of the page size. Note that pszind_t and
szind_t are not interchangeable.
pgi fails to compile math.c, reporting that `-INFINITY` in `pt_norm_expected[]`
is a "Non-constant" expression. A simplified version of this failure is:
```c
#include <math.h>
static double inf1, inf2 = INFINITY; // no complaints
static double inf3 = INFINITY; // suddenly INFINITY is "Non-constant"
int main() { }
```
```sh
PGC-S-0074-Non-constant expression in initializer (t.c: 4)
```
pgi errors on the declaration of inf3, and will compile fine if that line is
removed. I've reported this bug to pgi, but in the meantime I just switched to
using (DBL_MAX + DBL_MAX) to work around this bug.
b2c0d6322d (Add witness, a simple online
locking validator.) caused a broad propagation of tsd throughout the
internal API, but tsd_fetch() was designed to fail prior to tsd
bootstrapping. Fix this by splitting tsd_t into non-nullable tsd_t and
nullable tsdn_t, and modifying all internal APIs that do not critically
rely on tsd to take nullable pointers. Furthermore, add the
tsd_booted_get() function so that tsdn_fetch() can probe whether tsd
bootstrapping is complete and return NULL if not. All dangerous
conversions of nullable pointers are tsdn_tsd() calls that assert-fail
on invalid conversion.
Depending on virtual memory resource limits, it is necessary to attempt
allocating three maximally sized objects to trigger OOM rather than just
two, since the maximum supported size is slightly less than half the
total virtual memory address space.
This fixes a test failure that was introduced by
0c516a00c4 (Make *allocx() size class
overflow behavior defined.).
This resolves#379.
Refactor ph to support configurable comparison functions. Use a cpp
macro code generation form equivalent to the rb macros so that pairing
heaps can be used for both run heaps and chunk heaps.
Remove per node parent pointers, and instead use leftmost siblings' prev
pointers to track parents.
Fix multi-pass sibling merging to iterate over intermediate results
using a FIFO, rather than a LIFO. Use this fixed sibling merging
implementation for both merge phases of the auxiliary twopass algorithm
(first merging the aux list, then replacing the root with its merged
children). This fixes both degenerate merge behavior and the potential
for deep recursion.
This regression was introduced by
6bafa6678f (Pairing heap).
This resolves#371.
Restructure the test program master header to avoid blindly enabling
assertions. Prior to this change, assertion code in e.g. arena.h was
always enabled for tests, which could skew performance-related testing.
Add (size_t) casts to MALLOCX_ALIGN() macros so that passing the integer
constant 0x80000000 does not cause a compiler warning about invalid
shift amount.
This resolves#354.
