Tiny Pool redesign: P0.1, P0.3, P1.1, P1.2 - Out-of-band class_idx lookup
...
This commit implements the first phase of Tiny Pool redesign based on
ChatGPT architecture review. The goal is to eliminate Header/Next pointer
conflicts by moving class_idx lookup out-of-band (to SuperSlab metadata).
## P0.1: C0(8B) class upgraded to 16B
- Size table changed: {16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048} (8 classes)
- LUT updated: 1..16 → class 0, 17..32 → class 1, etc.
- tiny_next_off: C0 now uses offset 1 (header preserved)
- Eliminates edge cases for 8B allocations
## P0.3: Slab reuse guard Box (tls_slab_reuse_guard_box.h)
- New Box for draining TLS SLL before slab reuse
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_TINY_SLAB_REUSE_GUARD=1
- Prevents stale pointers when slabs are recycled
- Follows Box theory: single responsibility, minimal API
## P1.1: SuperSlab class_map addition
- Added uint8_t class_map[SLABS_PER_SUPERSLAB_MAX] to SuperSlab
- Maps slab_idx → class_idx for out-of-band lookup
- Initialized to 255 (UNASSIGNED) on SuperSlab creation
- Set correctly on slab initialization in all backends
## P1.2: Free fast path uses class_map
- ENV gate: HAKMEM_TINY_USE_CLASS_MAP=1
- Free path can now get class_idx from class_map instead of Header
- Falls back to Header read if class_map returns invalid value
- Fixed Legacy Backend dynamic slab initialization bug
## Documentation added
- HAKMEM_ARCHITECTURE_OVERVIEW.md: 4-layer architecture analysis
- TLS_SLL_ARCHITECTURE_INVESTIGATION.md: Root cause analysis
- PTR_LIFECYCLE_TRACE_AND_ROOT_CAUSE_ANALYSIS.md: Pointer tracking
- TINY_REDESIGN_CHECKLIST.md: Implementation roadmap (P0-P3)
## Test results
- Baseline: 70% success rate (30% crash - pre-existing issue)
- class_map enabled: 70% success rate (same as baseline)
- Performance: ~30.5M ops/s (unchanged)
## Next steps (P1.3, P2, P3)
- P1.3: Add meta->active for accurate TLS/freelist sync
- P2: TLS SLL redesign with Box-based counting
- P3: Complete Header out-of-band migration

Larson double-free investigation: Add full operation lifecycle logging
...
**Diagnostic Enhancement**: Complete malloc/free/pop operation tracing for debug
**Problem**: Larson crashes with TLS_SLL_DUP at count=18, need to trace exact
pointer lifecycle to identify if allocator returns duplicate addresses or if
benchmark has double-free bug.
**Implementation** (ChatGPT + Claude + Task collaboration):
1. **Global Operation Counter** (core/hakmem_tiny_config_box.inc:9):
- Single atomic counter for all operations (malloc/free/pop)
- Chronological ordering across all paths
2. **Allocation Logging** (core/hakmem_tiny_config_box.inc:148-161):
- HAK_RET_ALLOC macro enhanced with operation logging
- Logs first 50 class=1 allocations with ptr/base/tls_count
3. **Free Logging** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h:222-235):
- Added before tls_sll_push() call (line 221)
- Logs first 50 class=1 frees with ptr/base/tls_count_before
4. **Pop Logging** (core/box/tls_sll_box.h:587-597):
- Added in tls_sll_pop_impl() after successful pop
- Logs first 50 class=1 pops with base/tls_count_after
5. **Drain Debug Logging** (core/box/tls_sll_drain_box.h:143-151):
- Enhanced drain loop with detailed logging
- Tracks pop failures and drained block counts
**Initial Findings**:
- First 19 operations: ALL frees, ZERO allocations, ZERO pops
- OP#0006: First free of 0x...430
- OP#0018: Duplicate free of 0x...430 → TLS_SLL_DUP detected
- Suggests either: (a) allocations before logging starts, or (b) Larson bug
**Debug-only**: All logging gated by !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE (zero cost in release)
**Next Steps**:
- Expand logging window to 200 operations
- Log initialization phase allocations
- Cross-check with Larson benchmark source
**Status**: Ready for extended testing

Larson crash investigation: Add freelist header write + abort() on duplicate
...
## Changes
1. **TLS SLL duplicate detection** (core/box/tls_sll_box.h:381)
- Changed 'return true' to 'abort()' to get backtrace on double-free
- Enables precise root cause identification
2. **Freelist header write fix** (core/tiny_superslab_alloc.inc.h:159-169)
- Added tiny_region_id_write_header() call in freelist allocation path
- Previously only linear carve wrote headers → stale headers on reuse
- Now both paths write headers consistently
## Root Cause Analysis
Backtrace revealed true double-free pattern:
- last_push_from=hak_tiny_free_fast_v2 (freed once)
- last_pop_from=(null) (never allocated)
- where=hak_tiny_free_fast_v2 (freed again!)
Same pointer freed twice WITHOUT reallocation in between.
## Status
- Freelist header fix: ✅ Implemented (necessary but not sufficient)
- Double-free still occurs: ❌ Deeper investigation needed
- Possible causes: User code bug, TLS drain race, remote free issue
Next: Investigate allocation/free flow with enhanced tracing

Add callsite tracking for tls_sll_push/pop (macro-based Box Theory)
...
Problem:
- [TLS_SLL_PUSH_DUP] at 225K iterations but couldn't identify bypass path
- Need push AND pop callsites to diagnose reuse-before-pop bug
Implementation (Box Theory):
- Renamed tls_sll_push → tls_sll_push_impl (with where parameter)
- Renamed tls_sll_pop → tls_sll_pop_impl (with where parameter)
- Added macro wrappers with __func__ auto-insertion
- Zero changes to 40+ call sites (Box boundary preserved)
Debug-only tracking:
- All tracking code wrapped in #if !HAKMEM_BUILD_RELEASE
- Release builds: where=NULL, zero overhead
- Arrays: s_tls_sll_last_push_from[], s_tls_sll_last_pop_from[]
New log format:
[TLS_SLL_PUSH_DUP] cls=5 ptr=0x...
last_push_from=hak_tiny_free_fast_v2
last_pop_from=(null) ← SMOKING GUN!
where=hak_tiny_free_fast_v2
Decisive Evidence:
✅ last_pop_from=(null) proves TLS SLL never popped
✅ Unified Cache bypasses TLS SLL (confirmed by Task agent)
✅ Root cause: unified_cache_refill() directly carves from SuperSlab
Impact:
- Complete push/pop flow tracking (debug builds only)
- Root cause identified: Unified Cache at Line 289
- Next step: Fix unified_cache_refill() to check TLS SLL first

Fix: TLS SLL double-free diagnostics - Add error handling and detection improvements
...
Problem:
workset=8192 crashes at 240K iterations with TLS SLL double-free:
[TLS_SLL_PUSH] FATAL double-free: cls=5 ptr=... already in SLL
Investigation (Task agent):
Identified 8 tls_sll_push() call sites and 3 high-risk areas:
1. HIGH: Carve-Push Rollback pop failures (carve_push_box.c)
2. MEDIUM: Splice partial orphaned nodes (tiny_refill_opt.h)
3. MEDIUM: Incomplete double-free scan - only 64 nodes (tls_sll_box.h)
Fixes Applied:
1. core/box/carve_push_box.c (Lines 115-139)
- Track pop_failed count during rollback
- Log orphaned blocks: [BOX_CARVE_PUSH_ROLLBACK] warning
- Helps identify when rollback leaves blocks in SLL
2. core/box/tls_sll_box.h (Lines 347-370)
- Increase double-free scan: 64 → 256 nodes
- Add scanned count to error: (scanned=%u/%u)
- Catches orphaned blocks deeper in chain
3. core/tiny_refill_opt.h (Lines 135-166)
- Enhanced splice partial logging
- Abort in debug builds on orphaned nodes
- Prevents silent memory leaks
Test Results:
Before: SEGV at 220K iterations
After: SEGV at 240K iterations (improved detection)
[TLS_SLL_PUSH] FATAL double-free: cls=5 ptr=... (scanned=2/71)
Impact:
✅ Early detection working (catches at position 2)
✅ Diagnostic capability greatly improved
⚠️ Root cause not yet resolved (deeper investigation needed)
Status: Diagnostic improvements committed for further analysis

Front-Direct implementation: SS→FC direct refill + SLL complete bypass
...
## Summary
Implemented Front-Direct architecture with complete SLL bypass:
- Direct SuperSlab → FastCache refill (1-hop, bypasses SLL)
- SLL-free allocation/free paths when Front-Direct enabled
- Legacy path sealing (SLL inline opt-in, SFC cascade ENV-only)
## New Modules
- core/refill/ss_refill_fc.h (236 lines): Standard SS→FC refill entry point
- Remote drain → Freelist → Carve priority
- Header restoration for C1-C6 (NOT C0/C7)
- ENV: HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DRAIN_THRESH, HAKMEM_TINY_P0_NO_DRAIN
- core/front/fast_cache.h: FastCache (L1) type definition
- core/front/quick_slot.h: QuickSlot (L0) type definition
## Allocation Path (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h)
- Added s_front_direct_alloc TLS flag (lazy ENV check)
- SLL pop guarded by: g_tls_sll_enable && !s_front_direct_alloc
- Refill dispatch:
- Front-Direct: ss_refill_fc_fill() → fastcache_pop() (1-hop)
- Legacy: sll_refill_batch_from_ss() → SLL → FC (2-hop, A/B only)
- SLL inline pop sealed (requires HAKMEM_TINY_INLINE_SLL=1 opt-in)
## Free Path (core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc, core/hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h)
- FC priority: Try fastcache_push() first (same-thread free)
- tiny_fast_push() bypass: Returns 0 when s_front_direct_free || !g_tls_sll_enable
- Fallback: Magazine/slow path (safe, bypasses SLL)
## Legacy Sealing
- SFC cascade: Default OFF (ENV-only via HAKMEM_TINY_SFC_CASCADE=1)
- Deleted: core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc.bak, core/pool_refill_legacy.c.bak
- Documentation: ss_refill_fc_fill() promoted as CANONICAL refill entry
## ENV Controls
- HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1: Enable Front-Direct (SS→FC direct)
- HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_ALL=1: Same as above (alt name)
- HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH=1: Enable batch refill (also enables Front-Direct)
- HAKMEM_TINY_SFC_CASCADE=1: Enable SFC cascade (default OFF)
- HAKMEM_TINY_INLINE_SLL=1: Enable inline SLL pop (default OFF, requires AGGRESSIVE_INLINE)
## Benchmarks (Front-Direct Enabled)
```bash
ENV: HAKMEM_BENCH_FAST_FRONT=1 HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_DIRECT=1
HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_BATCH=1 HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_ALL=1
HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_HOT=256 HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_MID=96
HAKMEM_TINY_BUMP_CHUNK=256
bench_random_mixed (16-1040B random, 200K iter):
256 slots: 1.44M ops/s (STABLE, 0 SEGV)
128 slots: 1.44M ops/s (STABLE, 0 SEGV)
bench_fixed_size (fixed size, 200K iter):
256B: 4.06M ops/s (has debug logs, expected >10M without logs)
128B: Similar (debug logs affect)
```
## Verification
- TRACE_RING test (10K iter): **0 SLL events** detected ✅
- Complete SLL bypass confirmed when Front-Direct=1
- Stable execution: 200K iterations × multiple sizes, 0 SEGV
## Next Steps
- Disable debug logs in hak_alloc_api.inc.h (call_num 14250-14280 range)
- Re-benchmark with clean Release build (target: 10-15M ops/s)
- 128/256B shortcut path optimization (FC hit rate improvement)

Add sentinel detection guards (defense-in-depth)
...
PARTIAL FIX: Add sentinel detection at 3 critical push points to prevent
sentinel-poisoned nodes from entering TLS caches. These guards provide
defense-in-depth against remote free sentinel leaks.
Sentinel Attack Vector (from Task agent analysis):
1. Remote free writes SENTINEL (0xBADA55BADA55BADA) to node->next
2. Node propagates through: freelist → TLS list → fast cache
3. Fast cache pop tries to dereference sentinel → SEGV
Fixes Applied:
1. **tls_sll_pop()** (core/box/tls_sll_box.h:235-252)
- Check if TLS SLL head == SENTINEL before dereferencing
- Reset TLS state and log detection
- Trigger refill path instead of crash
2. **tiny_fast_push()** (core/hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h:105-130)
- Check both `ptr` and `ptr->next` for sentinel before pushing to fast cache
- Reject sentinel-poisoned nodes with logging
- Prevents sentinel from reaching the critical pop path
3. **tls_list_push()** (core/hakmem_tiny_tls_list.h:69-91)
- Check both `node` and `node->next` for sentinel before pushing to TLS list
- Defense-in-depth layer to catch sentinel earlier in the pipeline
- Prevents propagation to downstream caches
Logging Strategy:
- Limited to 5 occurrences per thread (prevents log spam)
- Identifies which class and pointer triggered detection
- Helps trace sentinel leak source
Current Status:
⚠️ Sentinel checks added but NOT yet effective
- bench_random_mixed 100K: Still crashes at iteration 66152
- NO sentinel detection logs appear
- Suggests either:
1. Sentinel is not the root cause
2. Crash happens before checks are reached
3. Different code path is active
Further Investigation Needed:
- Disassemble crash location to identify exact code path
- Check if HAKMEM_TINY_AGGRESSIVE_INLINE uses different code
- Investigate alternative crash causes (buffer overflow, use-after-free, etc.)
Testing:
- bench_random_mixed_hakmem 1K-66K: PASS (8M ops/s)
- bench_random_mixed_hakmem 67K+: FAIL (crashes at 66152)
- Sentinel logs: NONE (checks not triggered)

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)

Add Box I (Integrity), Box E (Expansion), and comprehensive P0 debugging infrastructure
...
## Major Additions
### 1. Box I: Integrity Verification System (NEW - 703 lines)
- Files: core/box/integrity_box.h (267 lines), core/box/integrity_box.c (436 lines)
- Purpose: Unified integrity checking across all HAKMEM subsystems
- Features:
* 4-level integrity checking (0-4, compile-time controlled)
* Priority 1: TLS array bounds validation
* Priority 2: Freelist pointer validation
* Priority 3: TLS canary monitoring
* Priority ALPHA: Slab metadata invariant checking (5 invariants)
* Atomic statistics tracking (thread-safe)
* Beautiful BOX_BOUNDARY design pattern
### 2. Box E: SuperSlab Expansion System (COMPLETE)
- Files: core/box/superslab_expansion_box.h, core/box/superslab_expansion_box.c
- Purpose: Safe SuperSlab expansion with TLS state guarantee
- Features:
* Immediate slab 0 binding after expansion
* TLS state snapshot and restoration
* Design by Contract (pre/post-conditions, invariants)
* Thread-safe with mutex protection
### 3. Comprehensive Integrity Checking System
- File: core/hakmem_tiny_integrity.h (NEW)
- Unified validation functions for all allocator subsystems
- Uninitialized memory pattern detection (0xa2, 0xcc, 0xdd, 0xfe)
- Pointer range validation (null-page, kernel-space)
### 4. P0 Bug Investigation - Root Cause Identified
**Bug**: SEGV at iteration 28440 (deterministic with seed 42)
**Pattern**: 0xa2a2a2a2a2a2a2a2 (uninitialized/ASan poisoning)
**Location**: TLS SLL (Single-Linked List) cache layer
**Root Cause**: Race condition or use-after-free in TLS list management (class 0)
**Detection**: Box I successfully caught invalid pointer at exact crash point
### 5. Defensive Improvements
- Defensive memset in SuperSlab allocation (all metadata arrays)
- Enhanced pointer validation with pattern detection
- BOX_BOUNDARY markers throughout codebase (beautiful modular design)
- 5 metadata invariant checks in allocation/free/refill paths
## Integration Points
- Modified 13 files with Box I/E integration
- Added 10+ BOX_BOUNDARY markers
- 5 critical integrity check points in P0 refill path
## Test Results (100K iterations)
- Baseline: 7.22M ops/s
- Hotpath ON: 8.98M ops/s (+24% improvement ✓)
- P0 Bug: Still crashes at 28440 iterations (TLS SLL race condition)
- Root cause: Identified but not yet fixed (requires deeper investigation)
## Performance
- Box I overhead: Zero in release builds (HAKMEM_INTEGRITY_LEVEL=0)
- Debug builds: Full validation enabled (HAKMEM_INTEGRITY_LEVEL=4)
- Beautiful modular design maintains clean separation of concerns
## Known Issues
- P0 Bug at 28440 iterations: Race condition in TLS SLL cache (class 0)
- Cause: Use-after-free or race in remote free draining
- Next step: Valgrind investigation to pinpoint exact corruption location
## Code Quality
- Total new code: ~1400 lines (Box I + Box E + integrity system)
- Design: Beautiful Box Theory with clear boundaries
- Modularity: Complete separation of concerns
- Documentation: Comprehensive inline comments and BOX_BOUNDARY markers

Fix TLS-SLL splice alignment issue causing SIGSEGV
...
- core/box/tls_sll_box.h: Normalize splice head, remove heuristics, fix misalignment guard
- core/tiny_refill_opt.h: Add LINEAR_LINK debug logging after carve
- core/ptr_trace.h: Fix function declaration conflicts for debug builds
- core/hakmem.c: Add stdatomic.h include and ptr_trace_dump_now declaration
Fixes misaligned memory access in splice_trav that was causing SIGSEGV.
TLS-SLL GUARD identified: base=0x7244b7e10009 (should be 0x7244b7e10401)
Preserves existing ptr=0xa0 guard for small pointer free detection.

Debug-only pointer tracing macros (PTR_NEXT_READ/WRITE) + integration in TLS-SLL box
...
- Add core/ptr_trace.h (ring buffer, env-controlled dump)
- Use macros in box/tls_sll_box.h push/pop/splice
- Default: enabled for debug builds, zero-overhead in release
- How to use: build debug and run with HAKMEM_PTR_TRACE_DUMP=1

Phase 7: header-aware TLS front caches and FG gating
...
- core/hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h: make tiny_fast_pop/push read/write next at base+1 for C0–C6; clear C7 next on pop
- core/hakmem_tiny_hot_pop.inc.h: header-aware next reads for g_fast_head pops (classes 0–3)
- core/tiny_free_magazine.inc.h: header-aware chain linking for BG spill chain (base+1 for C0–C6)
- core/box/front_gate_classifier.c: registry fallback classifies headerless only for class 7; others as headered
Build OK; bench_fixed_size_hakmem still SIGBUS right after init. FREE_ROUTE trace shows invalid frees (ptr=0xa0, etc.). Next steps: instrument early frees and audit remaining header-aware writes in any front caches not yet patched.

Superslab free path base-normalization: use block base for C0–C6 in tiny_free_fast_ss, tiny_free_fast_legacy, same-thread freelist push, midtc push, remote queue push/dup checks; ensures next-pointer writes never hit user header. Addresses residual SEGV beyond TLS-SLL box.

b09ba4d40d
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.
