      Fix a heap dumping deadlock. · 10e45230
      Jason Evans authored
      Restructure the ctx initialization code such that the ctx isn't locked
      across portions of the initialization code where allocation could occur.
      Instead artificially inflate the cnt_merged.curobjs field, just as is
      done elsewhere to avoid similar races to the one that would otherwise be
      created by the reduction in locking scope.
      
      This bug affected interval- and growth-triggered heap dumping, but not
      manual heap dumping.

      Many mallctl*() end points require no locking, so push the locking down
      to just the functions that need it.  This is of particular import for
      "thread.allocated" and "thread.deallocated", which are intended as a
      low-overhead way to introspect per thread allocation activity.

      Fix heap profiling bugs. · e4f7846f
      Jason Evans authored
      Fix a regression due to the recent heap profiling accuracy improvements:
      prof_{m,re}alloc() must set the object's profiling context regardless of
      whether it is sampled.
      
      Fix management of the CHUNK_MAP_CLASS chunk map bits, such that all
      large object (re-)allocation paths correctly initialize the bits.  Prior
      to this fix, in-place realloc() cleared the bits, resulting in incorrect
      reported object size from arena_salloc_demote().  After this fix the
      non-demoted bit pattern is all zeros (instead of all ones), which makes
      it easier to assure that the bits are properly set.

      Add per thread allocation counters, and enhance heap sampling. · 93443689
      Jason Evans authored
      Add the "thread.allocated" and "thread.deallocated" mallctls, which can
      be used to query the total number of bytes ever allocated/deallocated by
      the calling thread.
      
      Add s2u() and sa2u(), which can be used to compute the usable size that
      will result from an allocation request of a particular size/alignment.
      
      Re-factor ipalloc() to use sa2u().
      
      Enhance the heap profiler to trigger samples based on usable size,
      rather than request size.  This has a subtle, but important, impact on
      the accuracy of heap sampling.  For example, previous to this change,
      16- and 17-byte objects were sampled at nearly the same rate, but
      17-byte objects actually consume 32 bytes each.  Therefore it was
      possible for the sample to be somewhat skewed compared to actual memory
      usage of the allocated objects.

      Fix a bug in arena_dalloc_bin_run(). · 21fb95bb
      Jason Evans authored
      Fix the newsize argument to arena_run_trim_tail() that
      arena_dalloc_bin_run() passes.  Previously, oldsize-newsize (i.e. the
      complement) was passed, which could erroneously cause dirty pages to be
      returned to the clean available runs tree.  Prior to the
      CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED --> CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED conversion, this bug merely
      caused dirty pages to be unaccounted for (and therefore never get
      purged), but with CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED, this could cause dirty pages to be
      treated as zeroed (i.e. memory corruption).

      Fix numerous arena bugs. · 940a2e02
      Jason Evans authored
      In arena_ralloc_large_grow(), update the map element for the end of the
      newly grown run, rather than the interior map element that was the
      beginning of the appended run.  This is a long-standing bug, and it had
      the potential to cause massive corruption, but triggering it required
      roughly the following sequence of events:
        1) Large in-place growing realloc(), with left-over space in the run
           that followed the large object.
        2) Allocation of the remainder run left over from (1).
        3) Deallocation of the remainder run *before* deallocation of the
           large run, with unfortunate interior map state left over from
           previous run allocation/deallocation activity, such that one or
           more pages of allocated memory would be treated as part of the
           remainder run during run coalescing.
      In summary, this was a bad bug, but it was difficult to trigger.
      
      In arena_bin_malloc_hard(), if another thread wins the race to allocate
      a bin run, dispose of the spare run via arena_bin_lower_run() rather
      than arena_run_dalloc(), since the run has already been prepared for use
      as a bin run.  This bug has existed since March 14, 2010:
          e00572b3
          mmap()/munmap() without arena->lock or bin->lock.
      
      Fix bugs in arena_dalloc_bin_run(), arena_trim_head(),
      arena_trim_tail(), and arena_ralloc_large_grow() that could cause the
      CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED map bit to become corrupted.  These are all
      long-standing bugs, but the chances of them actually causing problems
      was much lower before the CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED --> CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED
      conversion.

          Add {,r,s,d}allocm().

      Jason Evans authored
      Preserve CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED when allocating small runs, because it is
      possible that untouched pages will be returned to the tree of clean
      runs, where the CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED flag matters.  Prior to the
      conversion from CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED, this was already a bug, but in the
      worst case extra zeroing occurred.  After the conversion, this bug made
      it possible to incorrectly treat pages as pre-zeroed.
