ChatGPT's diagnostic changes to address TLS_SLL_HDR_RESET issue.
Current status: Partial mitigation, but root cause remains.
Changes Applied:
1. SuperSlab Registry Fallback (hakmem_super_registry.h)
- Added legacy table probe when hash map lookup misses
- Prevents NULL returns for valid SuperSlabs during initialization
- Status: ✅ Works but may hide underlying registration issues
2. TLS SLL Push Validation (tls_sll_box.h)
- Reject push if SuperSlab lookup returns NULL
- Reject push if class_idx mismatch detected
- Added [TLS_SLL_PUSH_NO_SS] diagnostic message
- Status: ✅ Prevents list corruption (defensive)
3. SuperSlab Allocation Class Fix (superslab_allocate.c)
- Pass actual class_idx to sp_internal_allocate_superslab
- Prevents dummy class=8 causing OOB access
- Status: ✅ Root cause fix for allocation path
4. Debug Output Additions
- First 256 push/pop operations traced
- First 4 mismatches logged with details
- SuperSlab registration state logged
- Status: ✅ Diagnostic tool (not a fix)
5. TLS Hint Box Removed
- Deleted ss_tls_hint_box.{c,h} (Phase 1 optimization)
- Simplified to focus on stability first
- Status: ⏳ Can be re-added after root cause fixed
Current Problem (REMAINS UNSOLVED):
- [TLS_SLL_HDR_RESET] still occurs after ~60 seconds of sh8bench
- Pointer is 16 bytes offset from expected (class 1 → class 2 boundary)
- hak_super_lookup returns NULL for that pointer
- Suggests: Use-After-Free, Double-Free, or pointer arithmetic error
Root Cause Analysis:
- Pattern: Pointer offset by +16 (one class 1 stride)
- Timing: Cumulative problem (appears after 60s, not immediately)
- Location: Header corruption detected during TLS SLL pop
Remaining Issues:
⚠️ Registry fallback is defensive (may hide registration bugs)
⚠️ Push validation prevents symptoms but not root cause
⚠️ 16-byte pointer offset source unidentified
Next Steps for Investigation:
1. Full pointer arithmetic audit (Magazine ⇔ TLS SLL paths)
2. Enhanced logging at HDR_RESET point:
- Expected vs actual pointer value
- Pointer provenance (where it came from)
- Allocation trace for that block
3. Verify Headerless flag is OFF throughout build
4. Check for double-offset application in conversions
Technical Assessment:
- 60% root cause fixes (allocation class, validation)
- 40% defensive mitigation (registry fallback, push rejection)
Performance Impact:
- Registry fallback: +10-30 cycles on cold path (negligible)
- Push validation: +5-10 cycles per push (acceptable)
- Overall: < 2% performance impact estimated
Related Issues:
- Phase 1 TLS Hint Box removed temporarily
- Phase 2 Headerless blocked until stability achieved
