* Add arena-specific and selective dss allocation.Jason Evans2012-10-131-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, so that it is possible to create new arenas that are outside the set that jemalloc automatically multiplexes threads onto. Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm(), so that it is possible to explicitly allocate from a particular arena. Add the "opt.dss" mallctl, which controls the default precedence of dss allocation relative to mmap allocation. Add the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl, which makes it possible to set the default dss precedence on a per arena or global basis. Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge". Add the "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctl.
* Fix fork(2)-related deadlocks.Jason Evans2012-10-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a library constructor for jemalloc that initializes the allocator. This fixes a race that could occur if threads were created by the main thread prior to any memory allocation, followed by fork(2), and then memory allocation in the child process. Fix the prefork/postfork functions to acquire/release the ctl, prof, and rtree mutexes. This fixes various fork() child process deadlocks, but one possible deadlock remains (intentionally) unaddressed: prof backtracing can acquire runtime library mutexes, so deadlock is still possible if heap profiling is enabled during fork(). This deadlock is known to be a real issue in at least the case of libgcc-based backtracing. Reported by tfengjun.
* Remove mmap_unaligned.Jason Evans2012-04-221-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove mmap_unaligned, which was used to heuristically decide whether to optimistically call mmap() in such a way that could reduce the total number of system calls. If I remember correctly, the intention of mmap_unaligned was to avoid always executing the slow path in the presence of ASLR. However, that reasoning seems to have been based on a flawed understanding of how ASLR actually works. Although ASLR apparently causes mmap() to ignore address requests, it does not cause total placement randomness, so there is a reasonable expectation that iterative mmap() calls will start returning chunk-aligned mappings once the first chunk has been properly aligned.

* Implement tsd.Jason Evans2012-03-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement tsd, which is a TLS/TSD abstraction that uses one or both internally. Modify bootstrapping such that no tsd's are utilized until allocation is safe. Remove malloc_[v]tprintf(), and use malloc_snprintf() instead. Fix %p argument size handling in malloc_vsnprintf(). Fix a long-standing statistics-related bug in the "thread.arena" mallctl that could cause crashes due to linked list corruption.
* Remove the swap feature.Jason Evans2012-02-131-2/+0
| | | | | Remove the swap feature, which enabled per application swap files. In practice this feature has not proven itself useful to users.
* Reduce cpp conditional logic complexity.Jason Evans2012-02-111-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 huge_ralloc to maintain chunk statistics.Jason Evans2011-11-111-1/+1
| | | | | Fix huge_ralloc() to properly maintain chunk statistics when using mremap(2).
* Move repo contents in jemalloc/ to top level.Jason Evans2011-04-011-0/+65
