Before this commit jemalloc produced many warnings when compiled with -Wextra
with both Clang and GCC. This commit fixes the issues raised by these warnings
or suppresses them if they were spurious at least for the Clang and GCC
versions covered by CI.
This commit:
* adds `JEMALLOC_DIAGNOSTIC` macros: `JEMALLOC_DIAGNOSTIC_{PUSH,POP}` are
used to modify the stack of enabled diagnostics. The
`JEMALLOC_DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_...` macros are used to ignore a concrete
diagnostic.
* adds `JEMALLOC_FALLTHROUGH` macro to explicitly state that falling
through `case` labels in a `switch` statement is intended
* Removes all UNUSED annotations on function parameters. The warning
-Wunused-parameter is now disabled globally in
`jemalloc_internal_macros.h` for all translation units that include
that header. It is never re-enabled since that header cannot be
included by users.
* locally suppresses some -Wextra diagnostics:
* `-Wmissing-field-initializer` is buggy in older Clang and GCC versions,
where it does not understanding that, in C, `= {0}` is a common C idiom
to initialize a struct to zero
* `-Wtype-bounds` is suppressed in a particular situation where a generic
macro, used in multiple different places, compares an unsigned integer for
smaller than zero, which is always true.
* `-Walloc-larger-than-size=` diagnostics warn when an allocation function is
called with a size that is too large (out-of-range). These are suppressed in
the parts of the tests where `jemalloc` explicitly does this to test that the
allocation functions fail properly.
* adds a new CI build bot that runs the log unit test on CI.
Closes#1196 .
The feature allows using a dedicated arena for huge allocations. We want the
addtional arena to separate huge allocation because: 1) mixing small extents
with huge ones causes fragmentation over the long run (this feature reduces VM
size significantly); 2) with many arenas, huge extents rarely get reused across
threads; and 3) huge allocations happen way less frequently, therefore no
concerns for lock contention.
Previously, we made the user deal with this themselves, but that's not good
enough; if hooks may allocate, we should test the allocation pathways down
hooks. If we're doing that, we might as well actually implement the protection
for the user.
The hook module allows a low-reader-overhead way of finding hooks to invoke and
calling them.
For now, none of the allocation pathways are tied into the hooks; this will come
later.
"Hooks" is really the best name for the module that will contain the publicly
exposed hooks. So lets rename the current "hooks" module (that hook external
dependencies, for reentrancy testing) to "test_hooks".
We're about to need an atomic uint8_t for state operations.
Unfortunately, we're at the point where things won't get inlined into the key
methods unless they're force-inlined. This is embarassing and we should do
something about it, but in the meantime we'll force-inline a little more when we
need to.
Looking at the thread counts in our services, jemalloc's background thread
is useful, but mostly idle. Add a config option to tune down the number of threads.
szind and slab bits are read on fast path, where compiler generated two memory
loads separately for them before this diff. Manually operate on the bits to
avoid the extra memory load.
The emitter can be used to produce structured json or tabular output. For now
it has no uses; in subsequent commits, I'll begin transitioning stats printing
code over.
"always" marks all user mappings as MADV_HUGEPAGE; while "never" marks all
mappings as MADV_NOHUGEPAGE. The default setting "default" does not change any
settings. Note that all the madvise calls are part of the default extent hooks
by design, so that customized extent hooks have complete control over the
mappings including hugepage settings.
On glibc and Android's bionic, strerror_r returns char* when
_GNU_SOURCE is defined.
Add a configure check for this rather than assume glibc is the
only libc that behaves this way.
The arena-associated stats are now all prefixed with arena_stats_, and live in
their own file. Likewise, malloc_bin_stats_t -> bin_stats_t, also in its own
file.
When purging, large allocations are usually the ones that cross the npages_limit
threshold, simply because they are "large". This means we often leave the large
extent around for a while, which has the downsides of: 1) high RSS and 2) more
chance of them getting fragmented. Given that they are not likely to be reused
very soon (LRU), let's over purge by 1 extent (which is often large and not
reused frequently).
