Program-generate small size class tables for all valid combinations of
LG_TINY_MIN, LG_QUANTUM, and PAGE_SHIFT. Use the appropriate table to generate
all relevant data structures, and remove the distinction between
tiny/quantum/cacheline/subpage bins.
Remove --enable-dynamic-page-shift. This option didn't prove useful in
practice, and it prevented optimizations.
Add Tilera architecture support.
Remove opt.lg_prof_bt_max, and hard code it to 7. The original
intention of this option was to enable faster backtracing by limiting
backtrace depth. However, this makes graphical pprof output very
difficult to interpret. In practice, decreasing sampling frequency is a
better mechanism for limiting profiling overhead.
Remove the opt.lg_prof_tcmax option and hard-code a cache size of 1024.
This setting is something that users just shouldn't have to worry about.
If lock contention actually ends up being a problem, the simple solution
available to the user is to reduce sampling frequency.
Convert configuration-related cpp conditional logic to use static
constant variables, e.g.:
#ifdef JEMALLOC_DEBUG
[...]
#endif
becomes:
if (config_debug) {
[...]
}
The advantage is clearer, more concise code. The main disadvantage is
that data structures no longer have conditionally defined fields, so
they pay the cost of all fields regardless of whether they are used. In
practice, this is only a minor concern; config_stats will go away in an
upcoming change, and config_prof is the only other major feature that
depends on more than a few special-purpose fields.
Fix the logic in stats_print() such that if the "a" flag is passed in
without the "m" flag, merged statistics will be printed even if only one
arena is initialized.
