This is logically at a higher level of the stack; extent should just allocate
things at the page-level; it shouldn't care exactly why the callers wants a
given number of pages.
This is debug only and we keep it off the fast path. Moving it here simplifies
the internal logic.
This never tries to junk on regions that were shrunk via xallocx. I think this
is fine for two reasons:
- The shrunk-with-xallocx case is rare.
- We don't always do that anyway before this diff (it depends on the opt
settings and extent hooks in effect).
Previously, it was really more like extents_alloc (it looks in an ecache for an
extent to reuse as its primary allocation pathway). Make that pathway more
explciitly like extents_alloc, and rename extent_alloc_wrapper_hard accordingly.
This will eventually completely wrap the eset, and handle concurrency,
allocation, and deallocation. For now, we only pull out the mutex from the
eset.
When deferred initialization was added, initializing required copying
sizeof(extent_hooks_t) bytes after a pointer chase. Today, it's just a single
pointer loaded from the base_t. In subsequent diffs, we'll get rid of even that.
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.
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.
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.
The largest small class, smallest large class, and largest large class may all
be needed down fast paths; to avoid the risk of touching another cache line, we
can make them available as constants.
This class removes almost all the dependencies on size_classes.h, accessing the
data there only via the new module sc.h, which does not depend on any
configuration options.
In a subsequent commit, we'll remove the configure-time size class computations,
doing them at boot time, instead.
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.
Instead, always define function pointers for interceptable functions,
but mark them const unless testing, so that the compiler can optimize
out the pointer dereferences.
Control use of munmap(2) via a run-time option rather than a
compile-time option (with the same per platform default). The old
behavior of --disable-munmap can be achieved with
--with-malloc-conf=munmap:false.
This partially resolves#580.
Tracking extents is required by arena_reset. To support this, the extent
linkage was used for tracking 1) large allocations, and 2) full slabs. However
modifying the extent linkage could be an expensive operation as it likely incurs
cache misses. Since we forbid arena_reset on auto arenas, let's bypass the
linkage operations for auto arenas.
This is a biggy. jemalloc_internal.h has been doing multiple jobs for a while
now:
- The source of system-wide definitions.
- The catch-all include file.
- The module header file for jemalloc.c
This commit splits up this functionality. The system-wide definitions
responsibility has moved to jemalloc_preamble.h. The catch-all include file is
now jemalloc_internal_includes.h. The module headers for jemalloc.c are now in
jemalloc_internal_[externs|inlines|types].h, just as they are for the other
modules.
