83bb8624f6 Tiny: fix remote sentinel leak → SEGV; add defense-in-depth; PoolTLS: refill-boundary remote drain; build UX help; quickstart docs
Summary
- Fix SEGV root cause in Tiny random_mixed: TINY_REMOTE_SENTINEL leaked from Remote queue into freelist/TLS SLL.
- Clear/guard sentinel at the single boundary where Remote merges to freelist.
- Add minimal defense-in-depth in freelist_pop and TLS SLL pop.
- Silence verbose prints behind debug gates to reduce noise in release runs.
- Pool TLS: integrate Remote Queue drain at refill boundary to avoid unnecessary backend carve/OS calls when possible.
- DX: strengthen build.sh with help/list/verify and add docs/BUILDING_QUICKSTART.md.

Details
- core/superslab/superslab_inline.h: guard head/node against TINY_REMOTE_SENTINEL; sanitize node[0] when splicing local chain; only print diagnostics when debug guard is enabled.
- core/slab_handle.h: freelist_pop breaks on sentinel head (fail-fast under strict).
- core/tiny_alloc_fast_inline.h: TLS SLL pop breaks on sentinel head (rare branch).
- core/tiny_superslab_free.inc.h: sentinel scan log behind debug guard.
- core/pool_refill.c: try pool_remote_pop_chain() before backend carve in pool_refill_and_alloc().
- core/tiny_adaptive_sizing.c: default adaptive logs off; enable via HAKMEM_ADAPTIVE_LOG=1.
- build.sh: add help/list/verify; EXTRA_MAKEFLAGS passthrough; echo pinned flags.
- docs/BUILDING_QUICKSTART.md: add one‑pager for targets/flags/env/perf/strace.

Verification (high level)
- Tiny random_mixed 10k 256/1024: SEGV resolved; runs complete.
- Pool TLS 1T/4T perf: HAKMEM >= system (≈ +0.7% 1T, ≈ +2.9% 4T); syscall counts ~10–13.

Known issues (to address next)
- Tiny random_mixed perf is weak vs system:
  - 1T/500k/256: cycles/op ≈ 240 vs ~47 (≈5× slower), IPC ≈0.92, branch‑miss ≈11%.
  - 1T/500k/1024: cycles/op ≈ 149 vs ~53 (≈2.8× slower), IPC ≈0.82, branch‑miss ≈10.5%.
  - Hypothesis: frequent SuperSlab path for class7 (fast_cap=0), branchy refill/adopt, and hot-path divergence.
- Proposed next steps:
  - Introduce fast_cap>0 for class7 (bounded TLS SLL) and a simpler batch refill.
  - Add env‑gated Remote Side OFF for 1T A/B (reduce side-table and guards).
  - Revisit likely/unlikely and unify adopt boundary sequencing (drain→bind→acquire) for Tiny.

707056b765 feat: Phase 7 + Phase 2 - Massive performance & stability improvements
Performance Achievements:
- Tiny allocations: +180-280% (21M → 59-70M ops/s random mixed)
- Single-thread: +24% (2.71M → 3.36M ops/s Larson)
- 4T stability: 0% → 95% (19/20 success rate)
- Overall: 91.3% of System malloc average (target was 40-55%) ✓

Phase 7 (Tasks 1-3): Core Optimizations
- Task 1: Header validation removal (Region-ID direct lookup)
- Task 2: Aggressive inline (TLS cache access optimization)
- Task 3: Pre-warm TLS cache (eliminate cold-start penalty)
  Result: +180-280% improvement, 85-146% of System malloc

Critical Bug Fixes:
- Fix 64B allocation crash (size-to-class +1 for header)
- Fix 4T wrapper recursion bugs (BUG #7, #8, #10, #11)
- Remove malloc fallback (30% → 50% stability)

Phase 2a: SuperSlab Dynamic Expansion (CRITICAL)
- Implement mimalloc-style chunk linking
- Unlimited slab expansion (no more OOM at 32 slabs)
- Fix chunk initialization bug (bitmap=0x00000001 after expansion)
  Files: core/hakmem_tiny_superslab.c/h, core/superslab/superslab_types.h
  Result: 50% → 95% stability (19/20 4T success)

Phase 2b: TLS Cache Adaptive Sizing
- Dynamic capacity: 16-2048 slots based on usage
- High-water mark tracking + exponential growth/shrink
- Expected: +3-10% performance, -30-50% memory
  Files: core/tiny_adaptive_sizing.c/h (new)

Phase 2c: BigCache Dynamic Hash Table
- Migrate from fixed 256×8 array to dynamic hash table
- Auto-resize: 256 → 512 → 1024 → 65,536 buckets
- Improved hash function (FNV-1a) + collision chaining
  Files: core/hakmem_bigcache.c/h
  Expected: +10-20% cache hit rate

Design Flaws Analysis:
- Identified 6 components with fixed-capacity bottlenecks
- SuperSlab (CRITICAL), TLS Cache (HIGH), BigCache/L2.5 (MEDIUM)
- Report: DESIGN_FLAWS_ANALYSIS.md (11 chapters)

Documentation:
- 13 comprehensive reports (PHASE*.md, DESIGN_FLAWS*.md)
- Implementation guides, test results, production readiness
- Bug fix reports, root cause analysis

Build System:
- Makefile: phase7 targets, PREWARM_TLS flag
- Auto dependency generation (-MMD -MP) for .inc files

Known Issues:
- 4T stability: 19/20 (95%) - investigating 1 failure for 100%
- L2.5 Pool dynamic sharding: design only (needs 2-3 days integration)

6b1382959c Phase 7-1 PoC: Region-ID Direct Lookup (+39%~+436% improvement!)
Implemented ultra-fast header-based free path that eliminates SuperSlab
lookup bottleneck (100+ cycles → 5-10 cycles).

## Key Changes

1. **Smart Headers** (core/tiny_region_id.h):
   - 1-byte header before each allocation stores class_idx
   - Memory layout: [Header: 1B] [User data: N-1B]
   - Overhead: <2% average (0% for Slab[0] using wasted padding)

2. **Ultra-Fast Allocation** (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h):
   - Write header at base: *base = class_idx
   - Return user pointer: base + 1

3. **Ultra-Fast Free** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h):
   - Read class_idx from header (ptr-1): 2-3 cycles
   - Push base (ptr-1) to TLS freelist: 3-5 cycles
   - Total: 5-10 cycles (vs 500+ cycles current!)

4. **Free Path Integration** (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h):
   - Removed SuperSlab lookup from fast path
   - Direct header validation (no lookup needed!)

5. **Size Class Adjustment** (core/hakmem_tiny.h):
   - Max tiny size: 1023B (was 1024B)
   - 1024B requests → Mid allocator fallback

## Performance Results

| Size | Baseline | Phase 7 | Improvement |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| 128B | 1.22M | 6.54M | **+436%** 🚀 |
| 512B | 1.22M | 1.70M | **+39%** |
| 1023B | 1.22M | 1.92M | **+57%** |

## Build & Test

Enable Phase 7:
  make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 bench_random_mixed_hakmem

Run benchmark:
  HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 10000 128 1234567

## Known Issues

- 1024B requests fallback to Mid allocator (by design)
- Target 40-60M ops/s not yet reached (current: 1.7-6.5M)
- Further optimization needed (TLS capacity tuning, refill optimization)

b7021061b8 Fix: CRITICAL double-allocation bug in trc_linear_carve()
Root Cause:
trc_linear_carve() used meta->used as cursor, but meta->used decrements
on free, causing already-allocated blocks to be re-carved.

Evidence:
- [LINEAR_CARVE] used=61 batch=1 → block 61 created
- (blocks freed, used decrements 62→59)
- [LINEAR_CARVE] used=59 batch=3 → blocks 59,60,61 RE-CREATED!
- Result: double-allocation → memory corruption → SEGV

Fix Implementation:
1. Added TinySlabMeta.carved (monotonic counter, never decrements)
2. Changed trc_linear_carve() to use carved instead of used
3. carved tracks carve progress, used tracks active count

Files Modified:
- core/superslab/superslab_types.h: Add carved field
- core/tiny_refill_opt.h: Use carved in trc_linear_carve()
- core/hakmem_tiny_superslab.c: Initialize carved=0
- core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h: Add next pointer validation
- core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc: Add drain/free validation

Test Results:
 bench_random_mixed: 950,037 ops/s (no crash)
 Fail-fast mode: 651,627 ops/s (with diagnostic logs)

a430545820 Phase 6-2.8: SuperSlab modular refactoring (665 lines → 104 lines)
目的: hakmem_tiny_superslab.h の肥大化を解消 (500+ 行)

実装内容:
1. superslab_types.h を作成
   - SuperSlab 構造体定義 (TinySlabMeta, SuperSlab)
   - 設定定数 (SUPERSLAB_SIZE_MAX, TINY_NUM_CLASSES_SS)
   - コンパイル時アサーション

2. superslab_inline.h を作成
   - ホットパス用インライン関数を集約
   - ss_slabs_capacity(), slab_index_for()
   - tiny_slab_base_for(), ss_remote_push()
   - _ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe()
   - Fail-fast validation helpers
   - ACE helpers (hak_now_ns, hak_tiny_superslab_next_lg)

3. hakmem_tiny_superslab.h をリファクタリング
   - 665 行 → 104 行 (-84%)
   - include のみに書き換え
   - 関数宣言と extern 宣言のみ残す

効果:
 ビルド成功 (libhakmem.so, larson_hakmem)
 Mid-Large allocator テスト通過 (3.98M ops/s)
⚠️ Tiny allocator の freelist corruption バグは未解決 (リファクタリングのスコープ外)

注意:
- Phase 6-2.6/6-2.7 の freelist バグは依然として存在
- リファクタリングは保守性向上のみが目的
- バグ修正は次のフェーズで対応
