On Windows, srcroot may start with "drive:", which confuses autoconf's
AC_CONFIG_* macros. The macros works equally well without ${srcroot},
provided some adjustment to Makefile.in.
Now this code is more portable and now people can use faster shells than
Bash such as Dash.
To use a faster shell with autoconf set the CONFIG_SHELL environment
variable to the shell and run the configure script with the shell.
When building with -O0, GCC doesn't use builtins for ffs and ffsl calls,
and uses library function calls instead. But the Android NDK doesn't have
those functions exported from any library, leading to build failure.
However, using __builtin_ffs* uses the builtin inlines.
Some platforms, such as Google's Portable Native Client, use Newlib and
thus lack access to madvise(2). In those instances, pages_purge() is
transformed into a no-op.
Native Client doesn't allow forking, thus there is no need to catch
fork()ing events for Native Client.
Additionally, without this commit, jemalloc will introduce an unresolved
pthread_atfork() in PNaCl Rust bins.
Some platforms (like those using Newlib) don't have ffs/ffsl. This
commit adds a check to configure.ac for __builtin_ffsl if ffsl isn't
found. __builtin_ffsl performs the same function as ffsl, and has the
added benefit of being available on any platform utilizing
Gcc-compatible compiler.
This change does not address the used of ffs in the MALLOCX_ARENA()
macro.
Add size class computation capability, currently used only as validation
of the size class lookup tables. Generalize the size class spacing used
for bins, for eventual use throughout the full range of allocation
sizes.
Use nallocx() rather than mallctl() to trigger initialization, because
nallocx() has no side effects other than initialization, whereas
mallctl() does a bunch of internal memory allocation.
Refactor huge allocation to be managed by arenas (though the global
red-black tree of huge allocations remains for lookup during
deallocation). This is the logical conclusion of recent changes that 1)
made per arena dss precedence apply to huge allocation, and 2) made it
possible to replace the per arena chunk allocation/deallocation
functions.
Remove the top level huge stats, and replace them with per arena huge
stats.
Normalize function names and types to *dalloc* (some were *dealloc*).
Remove the --enable-mremap option. As jemalloc currently operates, this
is a performace regression for some applications, but planned work to
logarithmically space huge size classes should provide similar amortized
performance. The motivation for this change was that mremap-based huge
reallocation forced leaky abstractions that prevented refactoring.
Add new mallctl endpoints "arena<i>.chunk.alloc" and
"arena<i>.chunk.dealloc" to allow userspace to configure
jemalloc's chunk allocator and deallocator on a per-arena
basis.
By default, git will coerce LF to CRLF when files are checked out on
Windows. This causes hard to diagnose errors when compiling with
mingw-w64 from Windows rather than cross-compiling.
Simplify backtracing to not ignore any frames, and compensate for this
in pprof in order to increase flexibility with respect to function-based
refactoring even in the presence of non-deterministic inlining. Modify
pprof to blacklist all jemalloc allocation entry points including
non-standard ones like mallocx(), and ignore all allocator-internal
frames. Prior to this change, pprof excluded the specifically
blacklisted functions from backtraces, but it left allocator-internal
frames intact.
