Investigation reveals ACE is **disabled by default**, causing all Mid-Large allocations to fall back to slow mmap operations, resulting in -88% regression vs System malloc. The solution is straightforward: enable ACE via `HAKMEM_ACE_ENABLED=1` environment variable. However, testing shows ACE still returns NULL even when enabled, indicating the underlying pools (MidPool/LargePool) are not properly initialized or lack available memory. A deeper fix is required to initialize the pools correctly. - -## ACE Mechanism Explanation - -ACE (Adaptive Cache Engine) is HAKMEM's intelligent caching layer for Mid-Large allocations (2KB-1MB). It acts as an intermediary between the main allocation path and the underlying memory pools. ACE's primary function is to round allocation sizes to optimal size classes using "W_MAX" rounding policies, then attempt allocation from two specialized pools: MidPool (2-52KB) and LargePool (64KB-1MB). The rounding strategy allows trading small amounts of internal fragmentation for significantly faster allocation performance by fitting requests into pre-sized cache buckets. - -The ACE architecture consists of three main components: (1) The allocation router (`hkm_ace_alloc`) which maps sizes to appropriate pools, (2) The ACE controller which manages background threads for cache maintenance and statistics collection, and (3) The UCB1 (Upper Confidence Bound) learning algorithm which optimizes allocation strategies based on observed patterns. When ACE successfully allocates from its pools, it achieves O(1) allocation complexity compared to mmap's O(n) kernel overhead. - -ACE significantly improves performance by eliminating system call overhead. Without ACE, every Mid-Large allocation requires an mmap system call (~500-1000 cycles), kernel page table updates, and TLB shootdowns in multi-threaded scenarios. With ACE enabled and pools populated, allocations are served from pre-mapped memory with simple pointer arithmetic (~20-50 cycles), achieving 10-50x speedup for the allocation fast path. - -## Current State Diagnosis - -**ACE is currently DISABLED by default.** - -Evidence from debug output: -``` -[ACE] ACE disabled (HAKMEM_ACE_ENABLED=0) -[HAKMEM] INFO: Using mmap for mid-range size=33296 (ACE disabled or failed) -``` - -The ACE enable/disable mechanism is controlled by: -- **Environment variable:** `HAKMEM_ACE_ENABLED` (default: 0) -- **Initialization:** `core/hakmem_ace_controller.c:42` -- **Check location:** The controller reads `getenv_int("HAKMEM_ACE_ENABLED", 0)` - -When disabled, ACE immediately returns from initialization without starting background threads or initializing the underlying pools. This was likely a conservative default during development to avoid potential instability from the learning layer. - -## Root Cause Analysis - -### Allocation Path Analysis - -**With ACE disabled:** -1. Allocation request (e.g., 33KB) enters `hak_alloc` -2. Falls into Mid-Large range check (1KB < size < 2MB threshold) -3. Calls `hkm_ace_alloc()` which checks if ACE controller is enabled -4. Since disabled, ACE immediately returns NULL -5. Falls back to mmap in `hak_alloc_api.inc.h:145` -6. Every allocation incurs ~500-1000 cycle syscall overhead - -**With ACE enabled (but pools empty):** -1. ACE controller initializes and starts background thread -2. `hkm_ace_alloc()` rounds 33KB → 40KB (Bridge class) -3. Calls `hak_pool_try_alloc(40KB, site_id)` -4. Pool has no pages allocated (never refilled) -5. Returns NULL -6. Still falls back to mmap - -### Performance Impact Quantification - -**mmap overhead per allocation:** -- System call entry/exit: ~200 cycles -- Kernel page allocation: ~300-500 cycles -- Page table updates: ~100-200 cycles -- TLB flush (MT): ~500-2000 cycles -- **Total: 1100-2900 cycles per alloc** - -**Pool allocation (when working):** -- TLS cache check: ~5 cycles -- Pointer pop: ~10 cycles -- Header write: ~5 cycles -- **Total: 20-50 cycles** - -**Performance delta:** 55-145x slower with mmap fallback - -For the `bench_mid_large_mt` workload (33KB allocations): -- Expected with ACE: ~50-80M ops/s -- Current (mmap): ~1M ops/s -- **Matches observed -88% regression** - -## Proposed Solution - -### Solution: Enable ACE + Fix Pool Initialization - -### Approach -Enable ACE via environment variable and ensure pools are properly initialized with pre-allocated pages to serve requests immediately. - -### Implementation Steps - -1. **Enable ACE at runtime** (Immediate workaround) - ```bash - export HAKMEM_ACE_ENABLED=1 - ./bench_mid_large_mt_hakmem - ``` - -2. **Fix pool initialization** (`core/box/pool_init_api.inc.h`) - - Add pre-allocation of pages for Bridge classes (40KB, 52KB) - - Ensure `g_class_sizes[5]` and `g_class_sizes[6]` are properly set - - Pre-populate each class with at least 2-4 pages - -3. **Verify L2.5 Large Pool init** (`core/hakmem_l25_pool.c`) - - Check lazy initialization is working - - Pre-allocate pages for 64KB-1MB classes - -4. **Add ACE health check** - - Log successful pool allocations - - Track hit/miss rates - - Alert if pools are consistently empty - -### Code Changes - -**File:** `core/box/hak_core_init.inc.h:75` (after `mid_mt_init()`) -```c -// OLD - // NEW Phase Hybrid: Initialize Mid Range MT allocator (8-32KB, mimalloc-style) - mid_mt_init(); - -// NEW - // NEW Phase Hybrid: Initialize Mid Range MT allocator (8-32KB, mimalloc-style) - mid_mt_init(); - - // Initialize MidPool for ACE (2-52KB allocations) - hak_pool_init(); - - // Initialize LargePool for ACE (64KB-1MB allocations) - hak_l25_pool_init(); -``` - -**File:** `core/box/pool_init_api.inc.h:96` (in `hak_pool_init_impl`) -```c -// OLD - g_pool.initialized = 1; - HAKMEM_LOG("[Pool] Initialized (L2 Hybrid Pool)\n"); - -// NEW - g_pool.initialized = 1; - HAKMEM_LOG("[Pool] Initialized (L2 Hybrid Pool)\n"); - - // Pre-allocate pages for Bridge classes to avoid cold start - if (g_class_sizes[5] != 0) { // 40KB Bridge class - for (int s = 0; s < 4; s++) { - refill_freelist(5, s); - } - HAKMEM_LOG("[Pool] Pre-allocated 40KB Bridge class pages\n"); - } - if (g_class_sizes[6] != 0) { // 52KB Bridge class - for (int s = 0; s < 4; s++) { - refill_freelist(6, s); - } - HAKMEM_LOG("[Pool] Pre-allocated 52KB Bridge class pages\n"); - } -``` - -**File:** `core/hakmem_ace_controller.c:42` (change default) -```c -// OLD - ctrl->enabled = getenv_int("HAKMEM_ACE_ENABLED", 0); - -// NEW (Option A - Enable by default) - ctrl->enabled = getenv_int("HAKMEM_ACE_ENABLED", 1); - -// OR (Option B - Keep disabled but add warning) - ctrl->enabled = getenv_int("HAKMEM_ACE_ENABLED", 0); - if (!ctrl->enabled) { - ACE_LOG_WARN(ctrl, "ACE disabled - Mid-Large performance will be degraded.

With 4-7 hours of work, we can restore HAKMEM's competitive advantage in this critical size range. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/ACE_POOL_ARCHITECTURE_INVESTIGATION.md b/ACE_POOL_ARCHITECTURE_INVESTIGATION.md deleted file mode 100644 index de912495..00000000 --- a/ACE_POOL_ARCHITECTURE_INVESTIGATION.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,325 +0,0 @@ -# ACE-Pool Architecture Investigation Report - -## Executive Summary - -**Root Cause Found:** Bridge classes (40KB, 52KB) are disabled at initialization due to conflicting code paths.

- This will immediately improve performance - - No risk - just fixing inverted condition - -2. **Add verbose logging to understand flow:** - ```c - fprintf(stderr, "[Pool] refill_freelist(5, %d) returned %d\n", s, result); - ``` - -3. **Remove dead code:** - - Delete `core/box/pool_core_api.inc.h` (not included anywhere) - - This file has duplicate `refill_freelist()` causing confusion - -### Long-term (1-2 weeks) - -1. **Implement Central Router Box** - - Start with feature flag for safety - - Add comprehensive logging - - Gradual migration path - -2. **Clean up scattered routing:** - - Remove routing from ACE (should only round sizes) - - Simplify hak_alloc_api.inc.h to just call router - - Each allocator should have ONE responsibility - -3. **Add integration tests:** - - Test each size range - - Verify correct allocator is used - - Check fallback paths work - ---- - -## Architectural Insights - -### The "Boxing" Problem - -The user's insight **"バグがすぐ見つからないということは 箱化が足りない"** is EXACTLY right. - -Current architecture violates Single Responsibility Principle: -- ACE does routing AND rounding -- Pool does allocation AND routing decisions -- hak_alloc_api does routing AND fallback AND statistics - -This creates: -- **Invisible failures** (no central logging) -- **Debugging nightmare** (must trace through 3+ files) -- **Hidden dependencies** (who calls whom?) -- **Silent bugs** (like the inverted condition) - -### The Solution: True Boxing - -Each box should have ONE clear responsibility: -- **Router Box**: Routes based on size (ONLY routing) -- **Tiny Box**: Allocates 0-1KB (ONLY tiny allocations) -- **ACE Box**: Rounds sizes to classes (ONLY rounding) -- **Pool Box**: Manages class-sized blocks (ONLY pool management) - -With proper boxing: -- Bugs become VISIBLE (central logging) -- Components are TESTABLE (clear interfaces) -- Changes are SAFE (isolated impact) -- Performance improves (clear fast paths) - ---- - -## Appendix: Additional Findings - -### Dead Code Discovery - -Found duplicate `refill_freelist()` implementation in `core/box/pool_core_api.inc.h` that is: -- Never included by any file -- Has identical logic to the real implementation -- Creates confusion when debugging -- Should be deleted - -### Bridge Classes Confirmed Working - -Verified that Bridge classes ARE properly initialized: -- `g_class_sizes[5] = 40960` (40KB) ✓ -- `g_class_sizes[6] = 53248` (52KB) ✓ -- Not being overwritten by Policy (fix already applied) -- ACE correctly routes 33KB → 40KB class - -The ONLY issue was the inverted condition in pre-allocation counting. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md deleted file mode 100644 index b5501a94..00000000 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,533 +0,0 @@ -# HAKMEM Memory Allocator -

L1D Cache Misses are the PRIMARY Bottleneck -- **9.9x more misses** than System malloc -- **75% of performance gap** attributed to cache misses -- Root cause: Metadata-heavy access pattern (3-4 cache lines vs tcache's 1) - -### 2. SuperSlab Design is Cache-Hostile -- 1112 bytes (18 cache lines) per SuperSlab -- Hot fields scattered (bitmasks on line 0, SlabMeta on line 9+) -- 600-byte offset from SuperSlab base to hot metadata (cache line miss!) - -### 3. TLS Cache Split Hurts Performance -- `g_tls_sll_head[]` and `g_tls_sll_count[]` in separate cache lines -- Every alloc/free touches 2 cache lines (head + count) -- glibc tcache avoids this by rarely checking counts[] in hot path - -### 4.

(❌ BUG?) - -3. **Drain** (Thread A, later): - - Background thread or next refill drains remote queue - - Moves blocks from `remote_heads[]` to `freelist` - - **Still does NOT decrement `total_active_blocks`** (❌ CONFIRMED BUG!) - -4. **Result**: - - SuperSlab `ss_A` has blocks in freelist but `total_active_blocks` remains high - - SuperSlab is **functionally empty** but **logically non-empty** - - `hak_tiny_trim()` skips it: `if (ss->total_active_blocks != 0) continue;` - -### 2.3 Numerical Evidence - -**From OOM log:** -``` -alloc=49123 freed=0 bytes=103018397696 -VmSize=167881128 kB VmRSS=3351808 kB -``` - -**Calculation** (assuming 16B class, 2MB SuperSlabs): -- SuperSlabs allocated: 49,123 -- Per-SuperSlab capacity: 2MB / 16B = 131,072 blocks (theoretical max) -- Total capacity: 49,123 × 131,072 = **6,442,774,016 blocks** -- Actual live blocks: 4,096 -- **Utilization: 0.00006%** (!!) - -**Memory waste:** -- Virtual: 49,123 × 2MB = 98.2 GB (matches `bytes=103GB`) -- Physical: 3.3 GB (RSS) - only ~3% of virtual is resident - ---- - -## 3. Active Block Accounting Bug - -### 3.1 Expected Behavior - -`total_active_blocks` should track **live blocks** across all slabs in a SuperSlab: - -```c -// On allocation: -atomic_fetch_add(&ss->total_active_blocks, 1); // ✅ Implemented (hakmem_tiny.c:181) - -// On free (same-thread): -ss_active_dec_one(ss); // ✅ Implemented (tiny_free_fast.inc.h:142) - -// On free (cross-thread remote): -// ❌ MISSING! Remote free does NOT decrement total_active_blocks! -``` - -### 3.2 Code Analysis - -**Remote free path** (`hakmem_tiny_superslab.h:288`): -```c -static inline int ss_remote_push(SuperSlab* ss, int slab_idx, void* ptr) { - // Push ptr to remote_heads[slab_idx] - _Atomic(uintptr_t)* head = &ss->remote_heads[slab_idx]; - // ... CAS loop to push ... - atomic_fetch_add(&ss->remote_counts[slab_idx], 1u); // ✅ Count tracked - - // ❌ BUG: Does NOT decrement total_active_blocks! - // Should call: ss_active_dec_one(ss); -} -``` - -**Remote drain path** (`hakmem_tiny_superslab.h:388`): -```c -static inline void _ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe(...) { - // Drain remote_heads[slab_idx] → meta->freelist - // ... drain loop ... - atomic_store(&ss->remote_counts[slab_idx], 0u); // Reset count - - // ❌ BUG: Does NOT adjust total_active_blocks! - // Blocks moved from remote queue to freelist, but counter unchanged -} -``` - -### 3.3 Impact - -**Problem**: Cross-thread frees (common in Larson) do NOT decrement `total_active_blocks`: - -1. Thread A allocates block X from `ss_A` → `total_active_blocks++` -2. Thread B frees block X → pushed to `ss_A->remote_heads[]` - - ❌ `total_active_blocks` NOT decremented -3. Thread A drains remote queue → moves X to freelist - - ❌ `total_active_blocks` STILL not decremented -4. Result: `total_active_blocks` is **permanently inflated** -5. SuperSlab appears "full" even when all blocks are in freelist -6. `hak_tiny_trim()` never frees it: `if (total_active_blocks != 0) continue;` - -**With Larson's 50%+ cross-thread free rate**, this bug prevents ANY SuperSlab from reaching `total_active_blocks == 0`! - ---- - -## 4. Why System malloc Doesn't OOM - -**System malloc (glibc tcache/ptmalloc2) avoids this via:** - -1. **Per-thread arenas** (8-16 arenas max) - - Each arena services multiple threads - - Cross-thread frees consolidated within arena - - No per-thread SuperSlab explosion - -2. **Arena switching** - - When arena is contended, thread switches to different arena - - Prevents single-thread fragmentation - -3. **Heap trimming** - - `malloc_trim()` called periodically (every 64KB freed) - - Returns empty pages to OS via `madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)` - - Does NOT require completely empty arenas - -4. **Smaller allocation units** - - 64KB chunks vs 2MB SuperSlabs - - Faster consolidation, lower fragmentation impact - -**HAKMEM's 2MB SuperSlabs are 32× larger than System's 64KB chunks** → 32× harder to empty! - ---- - -## 5. OOM Trigger Location - -**Failure point** (`core/hakmem_tiny_superslab.c:199`): - -```c -void* raw = mmap(NULL, alloc_size, // alloc_size = 4MB (2× 2MB for alignment) - PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, - MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, - -1, 0); -if (raw == MAP_FAILED) { - log_superslab_oom_once(ss_size, alloc_size, errno); // ← errno=12 (ENOMEM) - return NULL; -} -``` - -**Why mmap fails:** -- `RLIMIT_AS`: Unlimited (not the cause) -- `vm.max_map_count`: 65530 (default) - likely exceeded! - - Each SuperSlab = 1-2 mmap entries - - 49,123 SuperSlabs → 50k-100k mmap entries - - **Kernel limit reached** - -**Verification**: -```bash -$ sysctl vm.max_map_count -vm.max_map_count = 65530 - -$ cat /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count -65530 -``` - ---- - -## 6. Fix Strategies - -### Option A: Fix Active Block Accounting (Immediate fix, low risk) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - -**Root cause**: `total_active_blocks` not decremented on remote free - -**Fix**: -```c -// In ss_remote_push() (hakmem_tiny_superslab.h:288) -static inline int ss_remote_push(SuperSlab* ss, int slab_idx, void* ptr) { - // ... existing push logic ... - atomic_fetch_add(&ss->remote_counts[slab_idx], 1u); - - // FIX: Decrement active blocks immediately on remote free - ss_active_dec_one(ss); // ← ADD THIS LINE - - return transitioned; -} -``` - -**Expected impact**: -- `total_active_blocks` accurately reflects live blocks -- SuperSlabs become empty when all blocks freed (even via remote) -- `hak_tiny_trim()` can reclaim empty SuperSlabs -- **Projected**: Larson should stabilize at ~10-20 SuperSlabs (vs 49,123) - -**Risk**: Low - this is the semantically correct behavior - ---- - -### Option B: Enable Background Trim (Workaround, medium impact) ⭐⭐⭐ - -**Problem**: `hak_tiny_trim()` never called during benchmark - -**Fix**: -```bash -# In scripts/run_larson_claude.sh -export HAKMEM_TINY_IDLE_TRIM_MS=100 # Trim every 100ms -export HAKMEM_TINY_TRIM_SS=1 # Enable SuperSlab trimming -``` - -**Expected impact**: -- Background thread calls `hak_tiny_trim()` every 100ms -- Empty SuperSlabs freed (if active block accounting is fixed) -- **Without Option A**: No effect (no SuperSlabs become empty) -- **With Option A**: ~10-20× memory reduction - -**Risk**: Low - already implemented, just disabled by default - ---- - -### Option C: Reduce SuperSlab Size (Mitigation, medium impact) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - -**Problem**: 2MB SuperSlabs too large, slow to empty - -**Fix**: -```bash -export HAKMEM_TINY_SS_FORCE_LG=20 # Force 1MB SuperSlabs (vs 2MB) -``` - -**Expected impact**: -- 2× more SuperSlabs, but each 2× smaller -- 2× faster to empty (fewer blocks needed) -- Slightly more mmap overhead (but still under `vm.max_map_count`) -- **Actual test result** (from user): - - 2MB: alloc=49,123, freed=0, OOM at 2s - - 1MB: alloc=45,324, freed=0, OOM at 2s - - **Minimal improvement** (only 8% fewer allocations) - -**Conclusion**: Size reduction alone does NOT solve the problem (accounting bug persists) - ---- - -### Option D: Increase vm.max_map_count (Kernel workaround) ⭐⭐ - -**Problem**: Kernel limit on mmap entries (65,530 default) - -**Fix**: -```bash -sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1000000 # Increase to 1M -``` - -**Expected impact**: -- Allows 15× more SuperSlabs before OOM -- **Does NOT fix fragmentation** - just delays the problem -- Larson would run longer but still leak memory - -**Risk**: Medium - system-wide change, may mask real bugs - ---- - -### Option E: Implement SuperSlab Defragmentation (Long-term, high complexity) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - -**Problem**: Fragmented SuperSlabs never consolidate - -**Fix**: Implement compaction/migration: -1. Identify sparsely-filled SuperSlabs (e.g., <10% utilization) -2. Migrate live blocks to fuller SuperSlabs -3. Free empty SuperSlabs immediately - -**Pseudocode**: -```c -void superslab_compact(int class_idx) { - // Find source (sparse) and dest (fuller) SuperSlabs - SuperSlab* sparse = find_sparse_superslab(class_idx); // <10% util - SuperSlab* dest = find_or_create_dest_superslab(class_idx); - - // Migrate live blocks from sparse → dest - for (each live block in sparse) { - void* new_ptr = allocate_from(dest); - memcpy(new_ptr, old_ptr, block_size); - update_pointer_in_larson_array(old_ptr, new_ptr); // ❌ IMPOSSIBLE! - } - - // Free now-empty sparse SuperSlab - superslab_free(sparse); -} -``` - -**Problem**: Cannot update external pointers! Larson's `array[]` would still point to old addresses. - -**Conclusion**: Compaction requires **moving GC** semantics - not feasible for C malloc - ---- - -## 7.

---- - -## Allocation Pattern Analysis - -### Random Mixed Characteristics - -**Efficient Pattern**: -1. **High TLS cache hit rate** - Most allocations served from TLS front cache -2. **Minimal refill operations** -

Current performance (9.4M) is consistent with verified historical measurements. - -**Highest Verified Performance**: 11.5M ops/s (Phase 12-1.1, ENV-gated, 100K iterations) - -**Path Forward**: -1. Enable verified optimizations (Phase 12-1.1, Phase 23, Phase 26) → 12-15M expected -2. Measure Phase 3d-B/C implementations properly → +10-18% additional expected -3.

Conclusion - -**The 4T high-contention crash is NOT fixed.** - -The other AI's fixes (Fail-Fast guards and wrapper improvements) are correct and valuable for catching future bugs, but they do NOT address the root cause of this crash: - -**Root Cause**: Superslab starvation → malloc fallback → mixed allocations → invalid free() - -**Next Priority**: Fix the mixed allocation bug (Option C: disable malloc fallback and fail-fast on OOM is the safest short-term solution). - -**Production Status**: UNSAFE.

Always Verify Build Success - -**Mistake:** Assumed binary was built successfully -**Lesson:** Check for linker errors BEFORE investigating runtime behavior - -```bash -# Good practice: -make bench_random_mixed_hakmem 2>&1 | tee build.log -grep -i "error\|undefined reference" build.log -``` - -### 2. Check Binary Timestamp - -**Mistake:** Assumed running binary contains latest code changes -**Lesson:** Verify binary timestamp matches source modifications - -```bash -# Good practice: -stat -c '%y %n' bench_random_mixed_hakmem core/pool_tls.c -# If binary older than source → rebuild didn't happen! -``` - -### 3. Makefile Conditional Consistency - -**Mistake:** CFLAGS and Make variable conditionals can diverge -**Lesson:** Use same variable for both compilation and linking - -**Bad (current):** -```makefile -CFLAGS += -DHAKMEM_POOL_TLS_PHASE1=1 # Always enabled -ifeq ($(POOL_TLS_PHASE1),1) # Checks different variable! -TINY_BENCH_OBJS += pool_tls.o -endif -``` - -**Good (recommended fix):** -```makefile -# Option A: Remove conditional (if always enabled) -CFLAGS += -DHAKMEM_POOL_TLS_PHASE1=1 -TINY_BENCH_OBJS += pool_tls.o pool_refill.o core/pool_tls_arena.o - -# Option B: Use same variable -ifeq ($(POOL_TLS_PHASE1),1) -CFLAGS += -DHAKMEM_POOL_TLS_PHASE1=1 -TINY_BENCH_OBJS += pool_tls.o pool_refill.o core/pool_tls_arena.o -endif - -# Option C: Auto-detect from CFLAGS -ifneq (,$(findstring -DHAKMEM_POOL_TLS_PHASE1=1,$(CFLAGS))) -TINY_BENCH_OBJS += pool_tls.o pool_refill.o core/pool_tls_arena.o -endif -``` - -### 4. Don't Overthink Simple Problems - -**Mistake:** Wrote 3000-line report about TLS initialization ordering -**Reality:** Simple Makefile variable mismatch - -**Occam's Razor:** The simplest explanation is usually correct -- Build error → Missing object files -- NOT: Complex TLS initialization race condition - -## Recommended Next Steps - -### 1. Fix Makefile (Priority: HIGH) - -**Option A: Remove conditional (if Pool TLS always enabled):** - -```diff - # Makefile:319-323 - TINY_BENCH_OBJS = $(TINY_BENCH_OBJS_BASE) --ifeq ($(POOL_TLS_PHASE1),1) - TINY_BENCH_OBJS += pool_tls.o pool_refill.o core/pool_tls_arena.o --endif -``` - -**Option B: Use consistent variable:** - -```diff - # Makefile:146-151 -+# Pool TLS Phase 1 (set to 0 to disable) -+POOL_TLS_PHASE1 ?= 1 -+ -+ifeq ($(POOL_TLS_PHASE1),1) - CFLAGS += -DHAKMEM_POOL_TLS_PHASE1=1 - CFLAGS_SHARED += -DHAKMEM_POOL_TLS_PHASE1=1 -+endif -``` - -### 2. Add Build Verification (Priority: MEDIUM) - -**Add post-link symbol check:** - -```makefile -bench_random_mixed_hakmem: bench_random_mixed_hakmem.o $(TINY_BENCH_OBJS) - $(CC) -o $@ $^ $(LDFLAGS) - @# Verify Pool TLS symbols if enabled - @if [ "$(POOL_TLS_PHASE1)" = "1" ]; then \ - nm $@ | grep -q pool_alloc || (echo "ERROR: pool_alloc not found!" && exit 1); \ - nm $@ | grep -q pool_free || (echo "ERROR: pool_free not found!" && exit 1); \ - echo "✓ Pool TLS Phase 1.5a symbols verified"; \ - fi -``` - -### 3. Performance Investigation (Priority: MEDIUM) - -**Current: 1.79M ops/s (slower than expected)** - -Possible optimizations: -1.

-### Low Risk: -- Removing disabled features (UltraHot, HeapV2, Front C23) -- Extracting fast path to separate file -- Gating debug code with `#if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE` - -### Medium Risk: -- Simplifying frontend from 11 layers → 2 layers - - **Mitigation**: Keep Ring Cache as fallback during transition - - **A/B test**: Toggle via `HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_ONLY=1` - -### High Risk: -- Splitting `hakmem_tiny.c` (circular dependencies) - - **Mitigation**: Incremental extraction, one module at a time - - **Test**: Ensure all benchmarks pass after each extraction - ---- - -## Conclusion - -The current architecture suffers from **feature accumulation disease**: 11 experimental frontend layers competing in the same allocation path, creating massive instruction bloat (2624 lines of assembly). The solution is aggressive simplification: - -1. **Remove dead/redundant features** (11 layers → 2 layers) -2. **Extract ultra-fast path** (2624 asm lines → 100-150 lines) -3. **Split monolithic file** (2228 lines → 7 focused modules) - -**Expected outcome**: 3-4x performance improvement (23.6M → 70-90M ops/s), approaching System malloc parity (92.6M ops/s). - -**Recommended action**: Start with Priority 1 tasks (1-2 days), which deliver 80% of the benefit with minimal risk. diff --git a/REFACTOR_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md b/REFACTOR_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md deleted file mode 100644 index 72c85725..00000000 --- a/REFACTOR_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,650 +0,0 @@ -# HAKMEM Tiny Allocator リファクタリング実装ガイド - -## クイックスタート - -このドキュメントは、REFACTOR_PLAN.md の実装手順を段階的に説明します。 - ---- - -## Priority 1: Fast Path リファクタリング (Week 1) - -### Phase 1.1: tiny_atomic.h (新規作成, 80行) - -**目的**: Atomic操作の統一インターフェース - -**ファイル**: `core/tiny_atomic.h` - -```c -#ifndef HAKMEM_TINY_ATOMIC_H -#define HAKMEM_TINY_ATOMIC_H - -#include - -// ============================================================================ -// TINY_ATOMIC: 統一インターフェース for atomics with memory ordering -// ============================================================================ - -/** - * tiny_atomic_load - Load with acquire semantics (default) - * @ptr: pointer to atomic variable - * @order: memory_order (default: memory_order_acquire) - * - * Returns: Loaded value - */ -#define tiny_atomic_load(ptr, order) \ - atomic_load_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, order) - -#define tiny_atomic_load_acq(ptr) \ - atomic_load_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, memory_order_acquire) - -#define tiny_atomic_load_rel(ptr) \ - atomic_load_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, memory_order_release) - -#define tiny_atomic_load_relax(ptr) \ - atomic_load_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, memory_order_relaxed) - -/** - * tiny_atomic_store - Store with release semantics (default) - */ -#define tiny_atomic_store(ptr, val, order) \ - atomic_store_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, val, order) - -#define tiny_atomic_store_rel(ptr, val) \ - atomic_store_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, val, memory_order_release) - -#define tiny_atomic_store_acq(ptr, val) \ - atomic_store_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, val, memory_order_acquire) - -#define tiny_atomic_store_relax(ptr, val) \ - atomic_store_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, val, memory_order_relaxed) - -/** - * tiny_atomic_cas - Compare and swap with seq_cst semantics - * @ptr: pointer to atomic variable - * @expected: expected value (in/out) - * @desired: desired value - * Returns: true if successful - */ -#define tiny_atomic_cas(ptr, expected, desired) \ - atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit( \ - (_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, expected, desired, \ - memory_order_seq_cst, memory_order_relaxed) - -/** - * tiny_atomic_cas_weak - Weak CAS for loops - */ -#define tiny_atomic_cas_weak(ptr, expected, desired) \ - atomic_compare_exchange_weak_explicit( \ - (_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, expected, desired, \ - memory_order_seq_cst, memory_order_relaxed) - -/** - * tiny_atomic_exchange - Atomic exchange - */ -#define tiny_atomic_exchange(ptr, desired) \ - atomic_exchange_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, desired, \ - memory_order_seq_cst) - -/** - * tiny_atomic_fetch_add - Fetch and add - */ -#define tiny_atomic_fetch_add(ptr, val) \ - atomic_fetch_add_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, val, \ - memory_order_seq_cst) - -/** - * tiny_atomic_increment - Increment (returns new value) - */ -#define tiny_atomic_increment(ptr) \ - (atomic_fetch_add_explicit((_Atomic typeof(*ptr)*)ptr, 1, \ - memory_order_seq_cst) + 1) - -#endif // HAKMEM_TINY_ATOMIC_H -``` - -**テスト**: -```c -// test_tiny_atomic.c -#include "tiny_atomic.h" - -void test_tiny_atomic_load_store() { - _Atomic int x = 0; - tiny_atomic_store(&x, 42, memory_order_release); - assert(tiny_atomic_load(&x, memory_order_acquire) == 42); -} - -void test_tiny_atomic_cas() { - _Atomic int x = 1; - int expected = 1; - assert(tiny_atomic_cas(&x, &expected, 2) == true); - assert(tiny_atomic_load(&x, memory_order_relaxed) == 2); -} -``` - ---- - -### Phase 1.2: tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h (新規作成, 250行) - -**目的**: 3-4命令のfast path allocation - -**ファイル**: `core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h` - -```c -#ifndef HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_FAST_INC_H -#define HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_FAST_INC_H - -#include "tiny_atomic.h" - -// ============================================================================ -// TINY_ALLOC_FAST: Ultra-simple fast path (3-4 命令) -// ============================================================================ - -// TLS storage (defined in hakmem_tiny.c) -extern void* g_tls_alloc_cache[TINY_NUM_CLASSES]; -extern int g_tls_alloc_count[TINY_NUM_CLASSES]; -extern int g_tls_alloc_cap[TINY_NUM_CLASSES]; - -/** - * tiny_alloc_fast_pop - Pop from TLS cache (3-4 命令) - * - * Fast path for allocation: - * 1.

Atomic Operations (Throughout) 🥈 - -**Count:** -- Path 1: 96-160 atomic ops -- Path 2: 32-96 atomic ops -- Path 4: Thousands of atomic ops - -**Why expensive:** -- Each atomic op = cache coherency traffic -- 4 threads × frequent operations = contention -- AMD Ryzen (test system) has slower atomics than Intel - -**Estimated CPU contribution:** **5-8% of total CPU** - ---- - -#### 3.

-今ある土台を使って、学習層を Tiny に伸ばすときの具体的なステップと現状: - -1. **Learner に Tiny メトリクスを配線（済）** - - `core/hakmem_learner.c` に Tiny 専用メトリクスを追加済み: - - `active_slots[class] = g_shared_pool.class_active_slots[class];` - - `stage3_ratio[class] = ΔStage3 / (ΔStage1+ΔStage2+ΔStage3);` - - `refills[class] = tiny_ultra_page_global_stats_snapshot()` から取得。 - -2. **tiny_cap[] のヒルクライム調整（実装済み/チューニング中）** - - 各 Tiny クラスごとに、ウィンドウ内の Stage3 割合を監視: - - Stage3 が多すぎ（新規 SuperSlab が頻発） → `tiny_cap[class]` を +Δ。 - - Stage3 が少ない & ACTIVE slot が少ない → `tiny_cap[class]` を -Δ。 - - cap の下限は `max(min_tiny, active_slots[class])` にクリップし、 - 既に確保済みの Superslab を急に「上限超過」にしないようにしている。 - - 調整後は `hkm_policy_publish()` で新しい FrozenPolicy を公開。 - -3. **PageArena / Precharge / Cache との連携（TinyPageAuto, 実験中）** - - UltraPageArena / SP-SLOT / PageFaultTelemetry からのメトリクスを使って、Superslab OS キャッシュ＋precharge を軽く制御: - - `HAKMEM_TINY_PAGE_AUTO=1` のとき、Learner が各ウィンドウで - - `refills[class]`（UltraPageArena の Superslab refill 数, C2〜C5）と - - PageFaultTelemetry の `PF_pages(C2..C5)` および `PF_pages(SSM)` を読み取り、 - - `score = refills * PF_pages(Cn) + PF_pages(SSM)/8` を計算。 - - スコアが `HAKMEM_TINY_PAGE_MIN_REFILLS * HAKMEM_TINY_PAGE_PRE_MIN_PAGES` 以上のクラスだけに対して: - - `tiny_ss_precharge_set_class_target(class, target)`（既定 target=1）で precharge を有効化。 - - `tiny_ss_cache_set_class_cap(class, cap)`（既定 cap=2）で OS Superslab キャッシュ枚数を small cap に設定。 - - スコアがしきい値未満のクラスは `target=0, cap=0` に戻して OFF。 -

-## Round 2 分析結果 - -### 重要な発見 - -1. **SIGSEGVクラッシュが継続**: 実行中にメモリアクセス違反 -2. **PTR_TRACEの問題は解決**: `wrap_libc_lockdepth` のみ記録 -3. **FREE_WRAP_TRACEで重大発見**: - - `[WRAP_FREE_ENTER] ptr=0xa0 depth=0 init=0` - - **不正なポインタ `0xa0` (160バイト目) が解放されている！** - -### 根本原因 - -**NULLポインタ＋ヘッダオフセットが原因**: -- `0xa0` = NULL + 160バイト (ヘッダサイズ分？) -- `depth=0 init=0` で初期化前に解放されている -- SPLICE_TO_SLLでリンクされた後、TLS-SLLを経由せず直接不正ポインタを解放 - -### 問題のフロー - -1. SPLICE_TO_SLLで正常にリンクされる -2. TLS-SLLのポインタ操作が何らかの理由で失敗 -3. 不正なポインタ（NULL+offset）が生成される -4. これがlibc free()に渡される → SIGSEGV - -### 推奨対策 - -1. **TLS-SLLヘッドのNULLチェック強化** -2. **ヘッダオフセット計算の検証** -3. **SPLICE_TO_SLL直後のTLS-SLL状態確認** - -これにより、ポインタ破壊の具体的な箇所を特定できる！ diff --git a/docs/DOCS_REORG_PLAN.md b/docs/DOCS_REORG_PLAN.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..68acc0d1 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/DOCS_REORG_PLAN.md @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ +#
