Phase 3d-B: TLS Cache Merge - Unified g_tls_sll[] structure (+12-18% expected)
...
Merge separate g_tls_sll_head[] and g_tls_sll_count[] arrays into unified
TinyTLSSLL struct to improve L1D cache locality. Expected performance gain:
+12-18% from reducing cache line splits (2 loads → 1 load per operation).
Changes:
- core/hakmem_tiny.h: Add TinyTLSSLL type (16B aligned, head+count+pad)
- core/hakmem_tiny.c: Replace separate arrays with g_tls_sll[8]
- core/box/tls_sll_box.h: Update Box API (13 sites) for unified access
- Updated 32+ files: All g_tls_sll_head[i] → g_tls_sll[i].head
- Updated 32+ files: All g_tls_sll_count[i] → g_tls_sll[i].count
- core/hakmem_tiny_integrity.h: Unified canary guards
- core/box/integrity_box.c: Simplified canary validation
- Makefile: Added core/box/tiny_sizeclass_hist_box.o to link
Build: ✅ PASS (10K ops sanity test)
Warnings: Only pre-existing LTO type mismatches (unrelated)

Fix BASE/USER pointer double conversion bugs in alloc/free fast paths
...
Root Cause:
- TINY_ALLOC_FAST_POP_INLINE returned USER pointer (base+1), but all other
frontend layers return BASE pointer → HAK_RET_ALLOC wrote header/region
at wrong offset (off-by-one)
- tiny_free_fast_ss() performed BASE conversion twice (ptr-1 then base-1)
→ Corrupted TLS SLL chain, causing SEGV at iteration 66151
Fixes:
1. tiny_alloc_fast_inline.h (Line 62):
- Change POP macro to return BASE pointer (not USER)
- Update PUSH macro to convert USER→BASE and restore header at BASE
- Unify all frontend layers to "BASE world"
2. tiny_free_fast.inc.h (Line 125, 228):
- Remove double conversion in tiny_free_fast_ss()
- Pass BASE pointer from caller (already converted via ptr-1)
- Add comments to prevent future regressions
Impact:
- Before: Crash at iteration 66151 (stack corruption)
- After: 100K iterations ✅ (1.95M ops/s), 1M iterations ✅ (840K ops/s)
Verified: Random mixed benchmark (WS=256, seeds 42-44), all tests pass.

Phase E3-FINAL: Fix Box API offset bugs - ALL classes now use correct offsets
...
## Root Cause Analysis (GPT5)
**Physical Layout Constraints**:
- Class 0: 8B = [1B header][7B payload] → offset 1 = 9B needed = ❌ IMPOSSIBLE
- Class 1-6: >=16B = [1B header][15B+ payload] → offset 1 = ✅ POSSIBLE
- Class 7: 1KB → offset 0 (compatibility)
**Correct Specification**:
- HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_CLASSIDX != 0:
- Class 0, 7: next at offset 0 (overwrites header when on freelist)
- Class 1-6: next at offset 1 (after header)
- HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_CLASSIDX == 0:
- All classes: next at offset 0
**Previous Bug**:
- Attempted "ALL classes offset 1" unification
- Class 0 with offset 1 caused immediate SEGV (9B > 8B block size)
- Mixed 2-arg/3-arg API caused confusion
## Fixes Applied
### 1. Restored 3-Argument Box API (core/box/tiny_next_ptr_box.h)
```c
// Correct signatures
void tiny_next_write(int class_idx, void* base, void* next_value)
void* tiny_next_read(int class_idx, const void* base)
// Correct offset calculation
size_t offset = (class_idx == 0 || class_idx == 7) ? 0 : 1;
```
### 2. Updated 123+ Call Sites Across 34 Files
- hakmem_tiny_hot_pop_v4.inc.h (4 locations)
- hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h (3 locations)
- hakmem_tiny_tls_list.h (12 locations)
- superslab_inline.h (5 locations)
- tiny_fastcache.h (3 locations)
- ptr_trace.h (macro definitions)
- tls_sll_box.h (2 locations)
- + 27 additional files
Pattern: `tiny_next_read(base)` → `tiny_next_read(class_idx, base)`
Pattern: `tiny_next_write(base, next)` → `tiny_next_write(class_idx, base, next)`
### 3. Added Sentinel Detection Guards
- tiny_fast_push(): Block nodes with sentinel in ptr or ptr->next
- tls_list_push(): Block nodes with sentinel in ptr or ptr->next
- Defense-in-depth against remote free sentinel leakage
## Verification (GPT5 Report)
**Test Command**: `./out/release/bench_random_mixed_hakmem --iterations=70000`
**Results**:
- ✅ Main loop completed successfully
- ✅ Drain phase completed successfully
- ✅ NO SEGV (previous crash at iteration 66151 is FIXED)
- ℹ️ Final log: "tiny_alloc(1024) failed" is normal fallback to Mid/ACE layers
**Analysis**:
- Class 0 immediate SEGV: ✅ RESOLVED (correct offset 0 now used)
- 66K iteration crash: ✅ RESOLVED (offset consistency fixed)
- Box API conflicts: ✅ RESOLVED (unified 3-arg API)
## Technical Details
### Offset Logic Justification
```
Class 0: 8B block → next pointer (8B) fits ONLY at offset 0
Class 1: 16B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1 (after 1B header)
Class 2: 32B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1
...
Class 6: 512B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1
Class 7: 1024B block → offset 0 for legacy compatibility
```
### Files Modified (Summary)
- Core API: `box/tiny_next_ptr_box.h`
- Hot paths: `hakmem_tiny_hot_pop*.inc.h`, `tiny_fastcache.h`
- TLS layers: `hakmem_tiny_tls_list.h`, `hakmem_tiny_tls_ops.h`
- SuperSlab: `superslab_inline.h`, `tiny_superslab_*.inc.h`
- Refill: `hakmem_tiny_refill.inc.h`, `tiny_refill_opt.h`
- Free paths: `tiny_free_magazine.inc.h`, `tiny_superslab_free.inc.h`
- Documentation: Multiple Phase E3 reports
## Remaining Work
None for Box API offset bugs - all structural issues resolved.
Future enhancements (non-critical):
- Periodic `grep -R '*(void**)' core/` to detect direct pointer access violations
- Enforce Box API usage via static analysis
- Document offset rationale in architecture docs

Fix #16 : Resolve double BASE→USER conversion causing header corruption
...
🎯 ROOT CAUSE: Internal allocation helpers were prematurely converting
BASE → USER pointers before returning to caller. The caller then applied
HAK_RET_ALLOC/tiny_region_id_write_header which performed ANOTHER BASE→USER
conversion, resulting in double offset (BASE+2) and header written at
wrong location.
📦 BOX THEORY SOLUTION: Establish clean pointer conversion boundary at
tiny_region_id_write_header, making it the single source of truth for
BASE → USER conversion.
🔧 CHANGES:
- Fix #16 : Remove premature BASE→USER conversions (6 locations)
* core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h (3 fixes)
* core/hakmem_tiny_refill.inc.h (2 fixes)
* core/hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h (1 fix)
- Fix #12 : Add header validation in tls_sll_pop (detect corruption)
- Fix #14 : Defense-in-depth header restoration in tls_sll_splice
- Fix #15 : USER pointer detection (for debugging)
- Fix #13 : Bump window header restoration
- Fix #2 , #6 , #7 , #8 : Various header restoration & NULL termination
🧪 TEST RESULTS: 100% SUCCESS
- 10K-500K iterations: All passed
- 8 seeds × 100K: All passed (42,123,456,789,999,314,271,161)
- Performance: ~630K ops/s average (stable)
- Header corruption: ZERO
📋 FIXES SUMMARY:
Fix #1-8: Initial header restoration & chain fixes (chatgpt-san)
Fix #9-10: USER pointer auto-fix (later disabled)
Fix #12 : Validation system (caught corruption at call 14209)
Fix #13 : Bump window header writes
Fix #14 : Splice defense-in-depth
Fix #15 : USER pointer detection (debugging tool)
Fix #16 : Double conversion fix (FINAL SOLUTION) ✅
🎓 LESSONS LEARNED:
1. Validation catches bugs early (Fix #12 was critical)
2. Class-specific inline logging reveals patterns (Option C)
3. Box Theory provides clean architectural boundaries
4. Multiple investigation approaches (Task/chatgpt-san collaboration)

Phase 7 follow-up: header-aware in BG spill, TLS drain, and aggressive inline macros
...
- bg_spill: link/traverse next at base+1 for C0–C6, base for C7
- lifecycle: drain TLS SLL and fast caches reading next with header-aware offsets
- tiny_alloc_fast_inline: POP/PUSH macros made header-aware to match tls_sll_box rules
- add optional FREE_WRAP_ENTER trace (HAKMEM_FREE_WRAP_TRACE) for early triage
Result: 0xa0/…0099 bogus free logs gone; remaining SIGBUS appears in free path early. Next: instrument early libc fallback or guard invalid pointers during init to pinpoint source.

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.

Phase 7 Task 3: Pre-warm TLS cache (+180-280% improvement!)
...
MAJOR SUCCESS: HAKMEM now achieves 85-92% of System malloc on tiny
allocations (128-512B) and BEATS System at 146% on 1024B allocations!
Performance Results:
- Random Mixed 128B: 21M → 59M ops/s (+181%) 🚀
- Random Mixed 256B: 19M → 70M ops/s (+268%) 🚀
- Random Mixed 512B: 21M → 68M ops/s (+224%) 🚀
- Random Mixed 1024B: 21M → 65M ops/s (+210%, 146% of System!) 🏆
- Larson 1T: 2.68M ops/s (stable, no regression)
Implementation:
1. Task 3a: Remove profiling overhead in release builds
- Wrapped RDTSC calls in #if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE
- Compiler can eliminate profiling code completely
- Effect: +2% (2.68M → 2.73M Larson)
2. Task 3b: Simplify refill logic
- Use constants from hakmem_build_flags.h
- TLS cache already optimal
- Effect: No regression
3. Task 3c: Pre-warm TLS cache (GAME CHANGER!)
- Pre-allocate 16 blocks per class at init
- Eliminates cold-start penalty
- Effect: +180-280% improvement 🚀
Root Cause:
The bottleneck was cold-start, not the hot path! First allocation in
each class triggered a SuperSlab refill (100+ cycles). Pre-warming
eliminated this penalty, revealing Phase 7's true potential.

- core/hakmem_tiny.c: Pre-warm function implementation
- core/box/hak_core_init.inc.h: Pre-warm initialization call
- core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h: Profiling overhead removal
