The pai_t interface implements C-style polymorphism via function pointers
to abstract over PAC and HPA. This abstraction provides no real benefit:
only two implementations exist, the dispatcher already knows which one to
use, and HPA stubs 2 of 5 operations. Remove the runtime dispatch in
favor of direct calls.
This commit:
- Promotes pac_alloc/expand/shrink/dalloc/time_until_deferred_work to
external linkage and replaces the pai_t *self parameter with pac_t *pac.
- Promotes hpa_alloc/expand/shrink/dalloc/time_until_deferred_work to
external linkage and replaces pai_t *self with hpa_shard_t *shard.
- Updates hpa_dalloc_batch's signature to take hpa_shard_t * directly
and removes the hpa_from_pai container-of helper. Updates internal
callers in hpa_alloc, hpa_dalloc, and hpa_sec_flush_impl.
- Drops the vtable assignments from pac_init() and hpa_shard_init().
- Replaces pai_alloc/dalloc/etc. dispatch in pa.c with direct calls.
HPA expand and shrink (which are unconditional failure stubs) are
skipped entirely for HPA-owned extents.
- Removes the pa_get_pai() helper.
- Updates tests in test/unit/hpa.c and test/unit/hpa_sec_integration.c
to call hpa_alloc/dalloc/etc. directly.
The pai_t struct field stays as dead weight in pac_t and hpa_shard_t;
it is removed in the next commit along with pai.h itself.
No behavioral changes.
Some pages (e.g., hugetlb pages) cannot be purged, and should be
prioritized for reuse. A custom extent_alloc hook signals this by
OR'ing EXTENT_ALLOC_FLAG_PINNED into the low bits of the returned
pointer; jemalloc strips the flag bits and caches pinned extents in
a dedicated ecache_pinned, separate from the dirty/muzzy decay
pipeline.
Pinned extents do not coalesce eagerly, except for ones larger than
SC_LARGE_MINCLASS. A prefer-small policy reuses the smallest fitting
pinned extent, to avoid unnecessary split/fragmentation.
* Replace std::__throw_bad_alloc call with standard C++
Since December of 2025, std::__throw_bad_alloc is no longer visible
through #include <new> causing jemalloc build failures with gcc 16.
As far as I can tell, all std::__throw_bad_alloc did was arrange to
raise a std::bad_alloc exception if exceptions are enabled. I am not
sure whether its usage was truly meaningful in jemalloc since the call
is wrapped in a try catch and any usage of try catch is considered an
error when compiling with -fno-exceptions on gcc, at least.
This change adds a check to configure.ac that determines whether
exceptions are enabled by compiling a simple try catch that raises a
std::bad_alloc exception. If that test succeeds, the macro
JEMALLOC_HAVE_CXX_EXCEPTIONS is defined, and jemalloc will raise an
exception. Otherwise, we call std::terminate() to abort.
This was tested on FreeBSD with the gcc16 port with and without exceptions
enabled.
* Replace std::set_new_handler calls with std::get_new_handler
Previously, std::set_new_handler was used as a workaround for
compilers with only partial support for C++11. Now that C++14 is a
requirement to enable C++ support, we can assume std::get_new_handler
is available.
The second expansion attempt in large_ralloc_no_move omitted the !
before large_ralloc_no_move_expand(), inverting the return value.
On expansion failure, the function falsely reported success, making
callers believe the allocation was expanded in-place when it was not.
On expansion success, the function falsely reported failure, causing
callers to unnecessarily allocate, copy, and free.
Add unit test that verifies the return value matches actual size change.
These functions had zero callers anywhere in the codebase:
- extent_commit_wrapper: wrapper never called, _impl used directly
- large_salloc: trivial wrapper never called
- tcache_gc_dalloc_new_event_wait: no header declaration, no callers
- tcache_gc_dalloc_postponed_event_wait: no header declaration, no callers
A few ways this consistency check can be improved:
* Print which conditions fail and associated values.
* Accumulate the result so that we can print all conditions that fail.
* Turn hpdata_assert_consistent() into a macro so, when it fails,
we can get line number where it's called from.
tsd_tcache_data_init() returns true on failure but its callers ignore
this return value, leaving the per-thread tcache in an uninitialized
state after a failure.
This change disables the tcache on an initialization failure and logs
an error message. If opt_abort is true, it will also abort.
New unit tests have been added to test tcache initialization failures.
This is a clean-up change that gives the bin functions implemented in
the area code a prefix of bin_ and moves them into the bin code.
To further decouple the bin code from the arena code, bin functions
that had taken an arena_t to check arena_is_auto now take an is_auto
parameter instead.
The static inline definition made more sense when these functions just
dispatched to a syscall wrapper. Since they acquired a retry loop, a
non-inline definition makes more sense.
Giving the advice MADV_DONTNEED to a range of virtual memory backed by
a transparent huge page already causes that range of virtual memory to
become backed by regular pages.
