From ccbeb935c5caf124e9c6ad58d0c5dba16806136f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Moe Charm (CI)" Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2025 18:00:22 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Perf optimization: Disable mincore syscall by default MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Problem: mincore() syscall in hak_free_api caused performance overhead. Perf analysis showed mincore syscall overhead in hot path. Solution: Change DISABLE_MINCORE default from 0 to 1 in Makefile. This disables mincore() checks in core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h by default. Benchmark results (10M iterations × 5 runs, ws=256): - Before (mincore enabled): 64.61M ops/s (avg) - After (mincore disabled): 71.30M ops/s (avg) - Improvement: +10.3% (+6.69M ops/s) This exceeds Task agent's prediction of +2-3%, showing significant impact in real-world allocation patterns. Note: Set DISABLE_MINCORE=0 to re-enable if debugging invalid pointers.
