9b0d746407 Phase 3d-B: TLS Cache Merge - Unified g_tls_sll[] structure (+12-18% expected) 
Merge separate g_tls_sll_head[] and g_tls_sll_count[] arrays into unified
TinyTLSSLL struct to improve L1D cache locality. Expected performance gain:
+12-18% from reducing cache line splits (2 loads → 1 load per operation).

Changes:
- core/hakmem_tiny.h: Add TinyTLSSLL type (16B aligned, head+count+pad)
- core/hakmem_tiny.c: Replace separate arrays with g_tls_sll[8]
- core/box/tls_sll_box.h: Update Box API (13 sites) for unified access
- Updated 32+ files: All g_tls_sll_head[i] → g_tls_sll[i].head
- Updated 32+ files: All g_tls_sll_count[i] → g_tls_sll[i].count
- core/hakmem_tiny_integrity.h: Unified canary guards
- core/box/integrity_box.c: Simplified canary validation
- Makefile: Added core/box/tiny_sizeclass_hist_box.o to link

Build: ✅ PASS (10K ops sanity test)
Warnings: Only pre-existing LTO type mismatches (unrelated)

030132f911 Phase 10: TLS/SFC aggressive cache tuning (syscall reduction failed) 
Goal: Reduce backend transitions by increasing frontend hit rate
Result: +2% best case, syscalls unchanged (root cause: SuperSlab churn)

Implementation:

1. Cache capacity expansion (2-8x per-class)
   - Hot classes (C0-C3): 4x increase (512 slots)
   - Medium classes (C4-C6): 2-3x increase
   - Class 7 (1KB): 2x increase (128 slots)
   - Fast cache: 2x default capacity

2. Refill batch size increase (4-8x)
   - Global default: 16 → 64 (4x)
   - Hot classes: 128 (8x) via HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_HOT
   - Mid classes: 96 (6x) via HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_MID
   - Class 7: 64 → 128 (2x)
   - SFC refill: 64 → 128 (2x)

3. Adaptive sizing aggressive parameters
   - Grow threshold: 80% → 70% (expand earlier)
   - Shrink threshold: 20% → 10% (shrink less)
   - Growth rate: 2x → 1.5x (smoother growth)
   - Max capacity: 2048 → 4096 (2x ceiling)
   - Adapt frequency: Every 10 → 5 refills (more responsive)

Performance Results (100K iterations):

Before (Phase 9):
- Performance: 9.71M ops/s
- Syscalls: 1,729 (mmap:877, munmap:852)

After (Phase 10):
- Default settings: 8.77M ops/s (-9.7%) ⚠️
- Optimal ENV: 9.89M ops/s (+2%) ✅
- Syscalls: 1,729 (unchanged) ❌

Optimal ENV configuration:
export HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_HOT=256
export HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_COUNT_MID=192

Root Cause Analysis:

Bottleneck is NOT TLS/SFC hit rate, but SuperSlab allocation churn:
- 877 SuperSlabs allocated (877MB via mmap)
- Phase 9 LRU cache not utilized (no frees during benchmark)
- All SuperSlabs retained until program exit
- System malloc: 9 syscalls vs HAKMEM: 1,729 syscalls (192x gap)

Conclusion:

TLS/SFC tuning cannot solve SuperSlab allocation policy problem.
Next step: Phase 11 SuperSlab Prewarm strategy to eliminate
mmap/munmap during benchmark execution.

ChatGPT review: Strategy validated, Option A (Prewarm) recommended.

72b38bc994 Phase E3-FINAL: Fix Box API offset bugs - ALL classes now use correct offsets 
## Root Cause Analysis (GPT5)

**Physical Layout Constraints**:
- Class 0: 8B = [1B header][7B payload] → offset 1 = 9B needed = ❌ IMPOSSIBLE
- Class 1-6: >=16B = [1B header][15B+ payload] → offset 1 = ✅ POSSIBLE
- Class 7: 1KB → offset 0 (compatibility)

**Correct Specification**:
- HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_CLASSIDX != 0:
  - Class 0, 7: next at offset 0 (overwrites header when on freelist)
  - Class 1-6: next at offset 1 (after header)
- HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_CLASSIDX == 0:
  - All classes: next at offset 0

**Previous Bug**:
- Attempted "ALL classes offset 1" unification
- Class 0 with offset 1 caused immediate SEGV (9B > 8B block size)
- Mixed 2-arg/3-arg API caused confusion

## Fixes Applied

### 1. Restored 3-Argument Box API (core/box/tiny_next_ptr_box.h)
```c
// Correct signatures
void tiny_next_write(int class_idx, void* base, void* next_value)
void* tiny_next_read(int class_idx, const void* base)

// Correct offset calculation
size_t offset = (class_idx == 0 || class_idx == 7) ? 0 : 1;
```

### 2. Updated 123+ Call Sites Across 34 Files
- hakmem_tiny_hot_pop_v4.inc.h (4 locations)
- hakmem_tiny_fastcache.inc.h (3 locations)
- hakmem_tiny_tls_list.h (12 locations)
- superslab_inline.h (5 locations)
- tiny_fastcache.h (3 locations)
- ptr_trace.h (macro definitions)
- tls_sll_box.h (2 locations)
- + 27 additional files

Pattern: `tiny_next_read(base)` → `tiny_next_read(class_idx, base)`
Pattern: `tiny_next_write(base, next)` → `tiny_next_write(class_idx, base, next)`

### 3. Added Sentinel Detection Guards
- tiny_fast_push(): Block nodes with sentinel in ptr or ptr->next
- tls_list_push(): Block nodes with sentinel in ptr or ptr->next
- Defense-in-depth against remote free sentinel leakage

## Verification (GPT5 Report)

**Test Command**: `./out/release/bench_random_mixed_hakmem --iterations=70000`

**Results**:
- ✅ Main loop completed successfully
- ✅ Drain phase completed successfully
- ✅ NO SEGV (previous crash at iteration 66151 is FIXED)
- ℹ️ Final log: "tiny_alloc(1024) failed" is normal fallback to Mid/ACE layers

**Analysis**:
- Class 0 immediate SEGV: ✅ RESOLVED (correct offset 0 now used)
- 66K iteration crash: ✅ RESOLVED (offset consistency fixed)
- Box API conflicts: ✅ RESOLVED (unified 3-arg API)

## Technical Details

### Offset Logic Justification
```
Class 0:  8B block → next pointer (8B) fits ONLY at offset 0
Class 1: 16B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1 (after 1B header)
Class 2: 32B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1
...
Class 6: 512B block → next pointer (8B) fits at offset 1
Class 7: 1024B block → offset 0 for legacy compatibility
```

### Files Modified (Summary)
- Core API: `box/tiny_next_ptr_box.h`
- Hot paths: `hakmem_tiny_hot_pop*.inc.h`, `tiny_fastcache.h`
- TLS layers: `hakmem_tiny_tls_list.h`, `hakmem_tiny_tls_ops.h`
- SuperSlab: `superslab_inline.h`, `tiny_superslab_*.inc.h`
- Refill: `hakmem_tiny_refill.inc.h`, `tiny_refill_opt.h`
- Free paths: `tiny_free_magazine.inc.h`, `tiny_superslab_free.inc.h`
- Documentation: Multiple Phase E3 reports

## Remaining Work

None for Box API offset bugs - all structural issues resolved.

Future enhancements (non-critical):
- Periodic `grep -R '*(void**)' core/` to detect direct pointer access violations
- Enforce Box API usage via static analysis
- Document offset rationale in architecture docs

83bb8624f6 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.
