Box TLS-SLL: fix splice head normalization and remove false misalignment guard; add header-aware linear link instrumentation; log splice details in debug.\n\n- Normalize head before publishing to TLS SLL (avoid user-ptr head)\n- Remove size-mod alignment guard (stride!=size); keep small-ptr fail-fast only\n- Drop heuristic base normalization to avoid corrupting base\n- Add [LINEAR_LINK]/[SPLICE_LINK]/[SPLICE_SET_HEAD] debug logs (debug-only)\n- Verified debug build on bench_fixed_size_hakmem with visible carve/splice traces

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.

Box TLS-SLL + free boundary hardening: normalize C0–C6 to base (ptr-1) at free boundary; route all caches/freelists via base; replace remaining g_tls_sll_head direct writes with Box API (tls_sll_push/splice) in refill/magazine/ultra; keep C7 excluded. Fixes rbp=0xa0 free crash by preventing header overwrite and centralizing TLS-SLL invariants.

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.
