| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | well as avoiding a switch statement. This change has no significant impact to performance when branch prediction is successful at predicting the sizes of objects passed to free(), but in the case that the object sizes are semi-random, this change has the potential to prevent many branch prediction misses, thus improving performance substantially. Take advantage of alignment guarantees in ipalloc(), and pad object sizes to something less than a power of two when possible. This has the potential to substantially reduce internal fragmentation for objects allocated via posix_memalign(). Avoid an unnecessary pow2_ceil() call in arena_ralloc().

For the one division operation that remains in the critical path, add a switch statement that has a case for each small size class, and do division with a constant divisor in each case. This allows the compiler to generate optimized code that does not use hardware division [1]. Obtained from: peter [1]

This avoids the creation of runs that are incompletely utilized, as long as pagesize isn't too large (>32kB, given the current RUN_MIN_REGS_2POW setting). Increase the size of several structure bitfields in arena_run_t in order to avoid integer overflow in the case that a run's header does not overlap with the space that is usable as application allocation regions. Given the tiny_min_2pow change, this fix has no additional impact unless pagesize is >32kB. Reported by: kris

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | internally used chunk to start at the beginning of the heap, rather than at a chunk-aligned address. This reduces mapped memory somewhat for 32-bit architectures. Add the arena_run_link_t type and use it wherever a run object is only used as a ring 'header'. This saves approximately 40 kB of memory per arena. Remove an obsolete (no longer used) code path from base_alloc(), which supported the internal allocation of objects larger than the chunk size. Enhance chunk_dealloc() to cache chunk addresses for all deallocated chunks. This has no impact for most programs, but has the potential to reduce VM map fragmentation for programs that use huge allocations.

This improves the performance of repeated incremental reallocations by up to three orders of magnitude.

* Modify allocation policy, in order to avoid excessive fragmentation forjasone2006-03-172-2503/+1070
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | allocation patterns that involve a relatively even mixture of many different size classes. Reduce the chunk size from 16 MB to 2 MB. Since chunks are now carved up using an address-ordered first best fit policy, VM map fragmentation is much less likely, which makes smaller chunks not as much of a risk. This reduces the virtual memory size of most applications. Remove redzones, since program buffer overruns are no longer as likely to corrupt malloc data structures. Remove the C MALLOC_OPTIONS flag, and add H and S.
