From 38e4e8d4c25433fd4e35c9a8ad845bb09008f90f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Moe Charm (CI)" Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2025 06:50:38 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Phase 19-2: Ultra SLIM debug logging and root cause analysis MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add comprehensive statistics tracking and debug logging to Ultra SLIM 4-layer fast path to diagnose why it wasn't being called. Changes: 1. core/box/ultra_slim_alloc_box.h - Move statistics tracking (ultra_slim_track_hit/miss) before first use - Add debug logging in ultra_slim_print_stats() - Track call counts to verify Ultra SLIM path execution - Enhanced stats output with per-class breakdown 2. core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h - Add debug logging at Ultra SLIM gate (line 700-710) - Log whether Ultra SLIM mode is enabled on first allocation - Helps diagnose allocation path routing Root Cause Analysis (with ChatGPT): ======================================== Problem: Ultra SLIM was not being called in default configuration - ENV: HAKMEM_TINY_ULTRA_SLIM=1 - Observed: Statistics counters remained zero - Expected: Ultra SLIM 4-layer path to handle allocations Investigation: - malloc() → Front Gate Unified Cache → complete (default path) - Ultra SLIM gate in tiny_alloc_fast() never reached - Front Gate/Unified Cache handles 100% of allocations Solution to Test Ultra SLIM: Turn OFF Front Gate and Unified Cache to force old Tiny path: HAKMEM_TINY_ULTRA_SLIM=1 \ HAKMEM_FRONT_GATE_UNIFIED=0 \ HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_CACHE=0 \ ./out/release/bench_random_mixed_hakmem 100000 256 42 Results: ✅ Ultra SLIM gate logged: ENABLED ✅ Statistics: 49,526 hits, 542 misses (98.9% hit rate) ✅ Throughput: 9.1M ops/s (100K iterations) ⚠️ 10M iterations: TLS SLL corruption (not Ultra SLIM bug) Secondary Discovery (ChatGPT Analysis): ======================================== TLS SLL C6/C7 corruption is NOT caused by Ultra SLIM: Evidence: - Same [TLS_SLL_POP_POST_INVALID] errors occur with Ultra SLIM OFF - Ultra SLIM OFF + FrontGate/Unified OFF: 9.2M ops/s with same errors - Root cause: Existing TLS SLL bug exposed when bypassing Front Gate - Ultra SLIM never pushes to TLS SLL (only pops) Conclusion: - Ultra SLIM implementation is correct ✅ - Default configuration (Front Gate/Unified ON) is stable: 60M ops/s - TLS SLL bugs are pre-existing, unrelated to Ultra SLIM - Ultra SLIM can be safely enabled with default configuration Performance Summary: - Front Gate/Unified ON (default): 60.1M ops/s ✅ stable - Ultra SLIM works correctly when path is reachable - No changes needed to Ultra SLIM code Next Steps: 1. Address workset=8192 SEGV (existing bug, high priority) 2. TLS SLL C6/C7 corruption (separate existing issue) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- core/box/ultra_slim_alloc_box.h | 55 +++++++++++++++++++++------------ core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h | 13 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/core/box/ultra_slim_alloc_box.h b/core/box/ultra_slim_alloc_box.h index 952954e5..dd1c3b1a 100644 --- a/core/box/ultra_slim_alloc_box.h +++ b/core/box/ultra_slim_alloc_box.h @@ -60,6 +60,24 @@ extern void* tiny_region_id_write_header(void* base, int class_idx);
