The option makes the process to exit with error code 1 if a memory leak
is detected. This is useful for implementing automated tools that rely
on leak detection.
Existing backtrace implementations skip native stack frames from runtimes like
Python. The hook allows to augment the backtraces to attribute allocations to
native functions in heap profiles.
The prof initialization is done only when opt_prof is true. This change makes
sure the prof_* mallctls only have limited read access (i.e. no access to prof
internals) when opt_prof is false.
In addition, initialize the global prof mutexes even if opt_prof is false. This
makes sure the mutex stats are set properly.
This gives more accurate attribution of bytes and counts to stack traces,
without introducing backwards incompatibilities in heap-profile parsing tools.
We track the ideal reported (to the end user) number of bytes more carefully
inside core jemalloc. When dumping heap profiles, insteading of outputting our
counts directly, we output counts that will cause parsing tools to give a result
close to the value we want.
We retain the old version as an opt setting, to let users who are tracking
values on a per-component basis to keep their metrics stable until they decide
to switch.
Add options stats_interval and stats_interval_opts to allow interval based stats
printing. This provides an easy way to collect stats without code changes,
because opt.stats_print may not work (some binaries never exit).
Explicitly define three setters:
- `prof_tctx_reset()`: set `prof_tctx` to `1U`, if we don't know in
advance whether the allocation is large or not;
- `prof_tctx_reset_sampled()`: set `prof_tctx` to `1U`, if we already
know in advance that the allocation is large;
- `prof_info_set()`: set a real `prof_tctx`, and also set other
profiling info e.g. the allocation time.
Code structure wise, the prof level is kept as a thin wrapper, the
large level only provides low level setter APIs, and the arena level
carries out the main logic.
