f95448c767 CRITICAL DISCOVERY: Phase 9 LRU architecturally unreachable due to TLS SLL
Root Cause:
- TLS SLL fast path (95-99% of frees) does NOT decrement meta->used
- Slabs never appear empty (meta->used never reaches 0)
- superslab_free() never called
- hak_ss_lru_push() never called
- LRU cache utilization: 0% (should be >90%)

Impact:
- mmap/munmap churn: 6,455 syscalls (74.8% time)
- Performance: -94% regression (9.38M → 563K ops/s)
- Phase 9 design goal: FAILED (lazy deallocation non-functional)

Evidence:
- 200K iterations: [LRU_PUSH]=0, [LRU_POP]=877 misses
- Experimental verification with debug logs confirms theory

Solution: Option B - Periodic TLS SLL Drain
- Every 1,024 frees: drain TLS SLL → slab freelist
- Decrement meta->used properly → enable empty detection
- Expected: -96% syscalls, +1,300-1,700% throughput

Files:
- PHASE9_LRU_ARCHITECTURE_ISSUE.md: Comprehensive analysis (300+ lines)
- Includes design options A/B/C/D with tradeoff analysis

Next: Await ultrathink approval to implement Option B

fcf098857a Phase12 debug: restore SUPERSLAB constants/APIs, implement Box2 drain boundary, fix tiny_fast_pop to return BASE, honor TLS SLL toggle in alloc/free fast paths, add fail-fast stubs, and quiet capacity sentinel. Update CURRENT_TASK with A/B results (SLL-off stable; SLL-on crash). 2025-11-14 01:02:00 +09:00
03df05ec75 Phase 12: Shared SuperSlab Pool implementation (WIP - runtime crash)
## Summary
Implemented Phase 12 Shared SuperSlab Pool (mimalloc-style) to address
SuperSlab allocation churn (877 SuperSlabs → 100-200 target).

## Implementation (ChatGPT + Claude)
1. **Metadata changes** (superslab_types.h):
   - Added class_idx to TinySlabMeta (per-slab dynamic class)
   - Removed size_class from SuperSlab (no longer per-SuperSlab)
   - Changed owner_tid (16-bit) → owner_tid_low (8-bit)

2. **Shared Pool** (hakmem_shared_pool.{h,c}):
   - Global pool shared by all size classes
   - shared_pool_acquire_slab() - Get free slab for class_idx
   - shared_pool_release_slab() - Return slab when empty
   - Per-class hints for fast path optimization

3. **Integration** (23 files modified):
   - Updated all ss->size_class → meta->class_idx
   - Updated all meta->owner_tid → meta->owner_tid_low
   - superslab_refill() now uses shared pool
   - Free path releases empty slabs back to pool

4. **Build system** (Makefile):
   - Added hakmem_shared_pool.o to OBJS_BASE and TINY_BENCH_OBJS_BASE

## Status: ⚠️ Build OK, Runtime CRASH

**Build**:  SUCCESS
- All 23 files compile without errors
- Only warnings: superslab_allocate type mismatch (legacy code)

**Runtime**:  SEGFAULT
- Crash location: sll_refill_small_from_ss()
- Exit code: 139 (SIGSEGV)
- Test case: ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 1000 256 42

## Known Issues
1. **SEGFAULT in refill path** - Likely shared_pool_acquire_slab() issue
2. **Legacy superslab_allocate()** still exists (type mismatch warning)
3. **Remaining TODOs** from design doc:
   - SuperSlab physical layout integration
   - slab_handle.h cleanup
   - Remove old per-class head implementation

## Next Steps
1. Debug SEGFAULT (gdb backtrace shows sll_refill_small_from_ss)
2. Fix shared_pool_acquire_slab() or superslab_init_slab()
3. Basic functionality test (1K → 100K iterations)
4. Measure SuperSlab count reduction (877 → 100-200)
5. Performance benchmark (+650-860% expected)
