Following from PR #2481, we replace all integer-to-pointer casts [which
hide pointer provenance information (and thus inhibit
optimizations)](https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/performance/no-int-to-ptr.html)
with equivalent operations that preserve this information. I have
enabled the corresponding clang-tidy check in our static analysis CI so
that we do not get bitten by this again in the future.
Fix or suppress the remaining warnings generated by static analysis.
This is a necessary step before we can incorporate static analysis into
CI. Where possible, I've preferred to modify the code itself instead of
just disabling the warning with a magic comment, so that if we decide to
use different static analysis tools in the future we will be covered
against them raising similar warnings.
This change allows every allocator conforming to PAI communicate that it
deferred some work for the future. Without it if a background thread goes into
indefinite sleep, there is no way to notify it about upcoming deferred work.
Previously the calculation of sleep time between wakeups was implemented within
background_thread. This resulted in some parts of decay and hpa specific
logic mixing with background thread implementation. In this change, background
thread delegates this calculation to arena and it, in turn, delegates it to PAI.
The next step is to implement the actual calculation of time until deferred work
in HPA.
For now, this is just a stub containing the ecaches, with no surrounding code
changed. Eventually all the core allocator bits will be moved in, in the
subsequent stack of commits.
This will eventually completely wrap the eset, and handle concurrency,
allocation, and deallocation. For now, we only pull out the mutex from the
eset.
Added a new stats row to aggregate the maximum value of mutex counters for each
background threads. Given that the per bg thd mutex is not expected to be
contended, this counter is mainly for sanity check / debugging.
Background threads may run for a long time, especially when the # of dirty pages
is high. Avoid blocking stats calls because of this (which may cause latency
spikes).
For low arena count settings, the huge threshold feature may trigger an unwanted
bg thd creation. Given that the huge arena does eager purging by default,
bypass bg thd creation when initializing the huge arena.
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 .
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.
We have a buffer overrun that manifests in the case where arena indices higher
than the number of CPUs are accessed before arena indices lower than the number
of CPUs. This fixes the bug and adds a test.
