From 2b567ac070924a264a13a736eb4930e091f29840 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Moe Charm (CI)" Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2025 03:46:36 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Phase FREE-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-1: Optimize C0-C3 direct free path MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Treat C0-C3 classes (48% of calls) as "second hot path" instead of cold path. Skip expensive policy snapshot and route determination, direct to tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base(). Measurements from FREE-TINY-FAST-HOTCOLD-OPT-1 revealed C0-C3 is NOT rare (48.43% of all frees). Previous attempt to optimize via hot/cold split failed (-13% regression) because noinline + function call on 48% of workload hurt more than it helped. This phase applies correct optimization: direct inline path for frequent C0-C3 without policy snapshot overhead. Implementation: - Insert C0-C3 early-exit after C7 ULTRA check - Skip tiny_front_v3_snapshot_get() for C0-C3 (saves 5-10 cycles) - Skip route determination logic - Safety: HAKMEM_TINY_LARSON_FIX=1 disables optimization Benchmark Results (100M ops, 400 threads, MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE): - Baseline (optimization OFF): 44.50M ops/s (median) - Optimized (DUALHOT ON): 48.74M ops/s (median) - Improvement: +9.51% (+4.23M ops/s) Perf Stats (optimized): - Branch misses: 112.8M - Cycles: 8.89B - Instructions: 21.95B (2.47 IPC) - Cache misses: 656K Status: GO (significant improvement, no regression) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 --- core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h b/core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h index cae32284..b3c0deae 100644 --- a/core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h +++ b/core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h @@ -430,6 +430,24 @@ static inline int free_tiny_fast_hot(void* ptr) { return 1; } + // Phase FREE-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-1: C0-C3 direct path (48% of calls) + // Skip expensive policy snapshot and route determination, direct to legacy fallback. + // Safety: Check Larson mode (cross-thread free handling requires full validation path) + { + static __thread int g_larson_fix = -1; + if (__builtin_expect(g_larson_fix == -1, 0)) { + const char* e = getenv("HAKMEM_TINY_LARSON_FIX"); + g_larson_fix = (e && *e && *e != '0') ? 1 : 0; + } + + if (__builtin_expect(class_idx <= 3 && !g_larson_fix, 1)) { + // C0-C3 + Larson mode OFF → Direct to legacy (no policy snapshot overhead) + tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base(base, class_idx); + FREE_TINY_FAST_HOTCOLD_STAT_INC(hot_hit); + return 1; + } + } + // Phase POLICY-FAST-PATH-V2: Skip policy snapshot for known-legacy classes if (free_policy_fast_v2_can_skip((uint8_t)class_idx)) { FREE_PATH_STAT_INC(policy_fast_v2_skip);
