84dbd97fe9 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)

- C2_CORRUPTION_ROOT_CAUSE_FINAL.md: Detailed root cause analysis
- FINAL_ANALYSIS_C2_CORRUPTION.md: Investigation methodology

6859d589ea Add Box 3 (Pointer Conversion Layer) and fix POOL_TLS_PHASE1 default 
## Major Changes

### 1. Box 3: Pointer Conversion Module (NEW)
- File: core/box/ptr_conversion_box.h
- Purpose: Unified BASE ↔ USER pointer conversion (single source of truth)
- API: PTR_BASE_TO_USER(), PTR_USER_TO_BASE()
- Features: Zero-overhead inline, debug mode, NULL-safe, class 7 headerless support
- Design: Header-only, fully modular, no external dependencies

### 2. POOL_TLS_PHASE1 Default OFF (CRITICAL FIX)
- File: build.sh
- Change: POOL_TLS_PHASE1 now defaults to 0 (was hardcoded to 1)
- Impact: Eliminates pthread_mutex overhead on every free() (was causing 3.3x slowdown)
- Usage: Set POOL_TLS_PHASE1=1 env var to enable if needed

### 3. Pointer Conversion Fixes (PARTIAL)
- Files: core/box/front_gate_box.c, core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h, etc.
- Status: Partial implementation using Box 3 API
- Note: Work in progress, some conversions still need review

### 4. Performance Investigation Report (NEW)
- File: HOTPATH_PERFORMANCE_INVESTIGATION.md
- Findings:
  - Hotpath works (+24% vs baseline) after POOL_TLS fix
  - Still 9.2x slower than system malloc due to:
    * Heavy initialization (23.85% of cycles)
    * Syscall overhead (2,382 syscalls per 100K ops)
    * Workload mismatch (C7 1KB is 49.8%, but only C5 256B has hotpath)
    * 9.4x more instructions than system malloc

### 5. Known Issues
- SEGV at 20K-30K iterations (pre-existing bug, not related to pointer conversions)
- Root cause: Likely active counter corruption or TLS-SLL chain issues
- Status: Under investigation

## Performance Results (100K iterations, 256B)
- Baseline (Hotpath OFF): 7.22M ops/s
- Hotpath ON: 8.98M ops/s (+24% improvement ✓)
- System malloc: 82.2M ops/s (still 9.2x faster)

## Next Steps
- P0: Fix 20K-30K SEGV bug (GDB investigation needed)
- P1: Lazy initialization (+20-25% expected)
- P1: C7 (1KB) hotpath (+30-40% expected, biggest win)
- P2: Reduce syscalls (+15-20% expected)

dde490f842 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.

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. 2025-11-10 16:48:20 +09:00

- Fix profile variable naming consistency
- Add .gitignore patterns for large files

Performance:
- Phase 6-3: 4.79 M ops/s (has OOM risk)
