Refactor: Phase 2 Box化 - SuperSlab Lookup Box with multiple contract levels
...
Purpose: Formalize SuperSlab lookup responsibilities with clear safety guarantees
Evolution:
- Phase 12: UNSAFE mask+dereference (5-10 cycles) → 12% crash rate
- Phase 1b: SAFE registry lookup (50-100 cycles) → 0% crash rate
- Phase 2: Box化 - multiple contracts (UNSAFE/SAFE/GUARDED)
Box Pattern Benefits:
1. Clear Contracts: Each API documents preconditions and guarantees
2. Multiple Levels: Choose speed vs safety based on context
3. Future-Proof: Enables optimizations without breaking existing code
API Design:
- ss_lookup_unsafe(): 5-10 cycles, requires validated pointer (internal use only)
- ss_lookup_safe(): 50-100 cycles, works with arbitrary pointers (recommended)
- ss_lookup_guarded(): 100-200 cycles, adds integrity checks (debug only)
- ss_fast_lookup(): Backward compatible (→ ss_lookup_safe)
Implementation:
- Created core/box/superslab_lookup_box.h with full contract documentation
- Integrated into core/superslab/superslab_inline.h
- ss_lookup_safe() implemented as macro to avoid circular dependency
- ss_lookup_guarded() only available in debug builds
- Removed conflicting extern declarations from 3 locations
Testing:
- Build: Success (all warnings resolved)
- Crash rate: 0% (50/50 iterations passed)
- Backward compatibility: Maintained via ss_fast_lookup() macro
Future Optimization Opportunities (documented in Box):
- Phase 2.1: Hybrid lookup (try UNSAFE first, fallback to SAFE)
- Phase 2.2: Per-thread cache (1-2 cycles hit rate)
- Phase 2.3: Hardware-assisted validation (PAC/CPUID)

Fix: Replace unsafe ss_fast_lookup() with safe registry lookup (12% → 0% crash)
...
Root Cause:
- Phase 12 optimization used mask+dereference for fast SuperSlab lookup
- Masked arbitrary pointers could produce unmapped addresses
- Reading ss->magic from unmapped memory → SEGFAULT
- Crash rate: 12% (6/50 iterations)
Solution Phase 1a (Failed):
- Added user-space range checks (0x1000 to 0x00007fffffffffff)
- Result: Still 10-12% crash rate (range check insufficient)
- Problem: Addresses within range can still be unmapped after masking
Solution Phase 1b (Successful):
- Replace ss_fast_lookup() with hak_super_lookup() registry lookup
- hak_super_lookup() uses hash table - never dereferences arbitrary memory
- Implemented as macro to avoid circular include dependency
- Result: 0% crash rate (100/100 test iterations passed)
Trade-off:
- Performance: 50-100 cycles (vs 5-10 cycles Phase 12)
- Safety: 0% crash rate (vs 12% crash rate Phase 12)
- Rollback Phase 12 optimization but ensures crash-free operation
- Still faster than mincore() syscall (5000-10000 cycles)
Testing:
- Before: 44/50 success (12% crash rate)
- After: 100/100 success (0% crash rate)
- Confirmed stable across extended testing

P2: TLS SLL Redesign - class_map default, tls_cached tracking, conditional header restore
...
This commit completes the P2 phase of the Tiny Pool TLS SLL redesign to fix the
Header/Next pointer conflict that was causing ~30% crash rates.
Changes:
- P2.1: Make class_map lookup the default (ENV: HAKMEM_TINY_NO_CLASS_MAP=1 for legacy)
- P2.2: Add meta->tls_cached field to track blocks cached in TLS SLL
- P2.3: Make Header restoration conditional in tiny_next_store() (default: skip)
- P2.4: Add invariant verification functions (active + tls_cached ≈ used)
- P0.4: Document new ENV variables in ENV_VARS.md
New ENV variables:
- HAKMEM_TINY_ACTIVE_TRACK=1: Enable active/tls_cached tracking (~1% overhead)
- HAKMEM_TINY_NO_CLASS_MAP=1: Disable class_map (legacy mode)
- HAKMEM_TINY_RESTORE_HEADER=1: Force header restoration (legacy mode)
- HAKMEM_TINY_INVARIANT_CHECK=1: Enable invariant verification (debug)
- HAKMEM_TINY_INVARIANT_DUMP=1: Enable periodic state dumps (debug)
Benchmark results (bench_tiny_hot_hakmem 64B):
- Default (class_map ON): 84.49 M ops/sec
- ACTIVE_TRACK=1: 83.62 M ops/sec (-1%)
- NO_CLASS_MAP=1 (legacy): 85.06 M ops/sec
- MT performance: +21-28% vs system allocator
No crashes observed. All tests passed.

P1.3: Add meta->active for TLS SLL tracking
...
Add active field to TinySlabMeta to track blocks currently held by
users (not in TLS SLL or freelist caches). This enables accurate
empty slab detection that accounts for TLS SLL cached blocks.
Changes:
- superslab_types.h: Add _Atomic uint16_t active field
- ss_allocation_box.c, hakmem_tiny_superslab.c: Initialize active=0
- tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h: Decrement active on TLS SLL push
- tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h: Add tiny_active_track_alloc() helper,
increment active on TLS SLL pop (all code paths)
- ss_hot_cold_box.h: ss_is_slab_empty() uses active when enabled
All tracking is ENV-gated: HAKMEM_TINY_ACTIVE_TRACK=1 to enable.
Default is off for zero performance impact.
Invariant: active = used - tls_cached (active <= used)

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

Restrict ss_fast_lookup to validated Tiny pointer paths only
...
Safety fix: ss_fast_lookup masks pointer to 1MB boundary and reads
memory at that address. If called with arbitrary (non-Tiny) pointers,
the masked address could be unmapped → SEGFAULT.
Changes:
- tiny_free_fast(): Reverted to safe hak_super_lookup (can receive
arbitrary pointers without prior validation)
- ss_fast_lookup(): Added safety warning in comments documenting when
it's safe to use (after header magic 0xA0 validation)
ss_fast_lookup remains in LARSON_FIX paths where header magic is
already validated before the SuperSlab lookup.

Add ss_fast_lookup() for O(1) SuperSlab lookup via mask
...
Replaces expensive hak_super_lookup() (registry hash lookup, 50-100 cycles)
with fast mask-based lookup (~5-10 cycles) in free hot paths.
Algorithm:
1. Mask pointer with SUPERSLAB_SIZE_MIN (1MB) - works for both 1MB and 2MB SS
2. Validate magic (SUPERSLAB_MAGIC)
3. Range check using ss->lg_size
Applied to:
- tiny_free_fast.inc.h: tiny_free_fast() SuperSlab path
- tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h: LARSON_FIX cross-thread check
- front/malloc_tiny_fast.h: free_tiny_fast() LARSON_FIX path
Note: Performance impact minimal with LARSON_FIX=OFF (default) since
SuperSlab lookup is skipped entirely in that case. Optimization benefits
LARSON_FIX=ON path for safe multi-threaded operation.

Fix cross-thread ownership check: Use bits 8-15 for owner_tid_low
...
Problem:
- TLS_SLL_PUSH_DUP crash in Larson multi-threaded benchmark
- Cross-thread frees incorrectly routed to same-thread TLS path
- Root cause: pthread_t on glibc is 256-byte aligned (TCB base)
so lower 8 bits are ALWAYS 0x00 for ALL threads
Fix:
- Change owner_tid_low from (tid & 0xFF) to ((tid >> 8) & 0xFF)
- Bits 8-15 actually vary between threads, enabling correct detection
- Applied consistently across all ownership check locations:
- superslab_inline.h: ss_owner_try_acquire/release/is_mine
- slab_handle.h: slab_try_acquire
- tiny_free_fast.inc.h: tiny_free_is_same_thread_ss
- tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h: cross-thread detection
- tiny_superslab_free.inc.h: same-thread check
- ss_allocation_box.c: slab initialization
- hakmem_tiny_superslab.c: ownership handling
Also added:
- Address watcher debug infrastructure (tiny_region_id.h)
- Cross-thread detection in malloc_tiny_fast.h Front Gate
Test results:
- Larson 1T/2T/4T: PASS (no TLS_SLL_PUSH_DUP crash)
- random_mixed: PASS
- Performance: ~20M ops/s (regression from 48M, needs optimization)

Fix: workset=8192 SEGV - Align slab_index_for to Box3 geometry (iteration 2)
...
Problem:
After Box3 geometry unification (commit 2fe970252 ), workset=8192 still SEGVs:
- 200K iterations: ✅ OK
- 300K iterations: ❌ SEGV
Root Cause (identified by ChatGPT):
Header/metadata class mismatches around 300K iterations:
- [HDR_META_MISMATCH] hdr_cls=6 meta_cls=5
- [FREE_FAST_HDR_META_MISMATCH] hdr_cls=5 meta_cls=4
- [TLS_SLL_PUSH_META_MISMATCH] cls=5 meta_cls=4
Cause: slab_index_for() geometry mismatch with Box3
- tiny_slab_base_for_geometry() (Box3):
- Slab 0: ss + SUPERSLAB_SLAB0_DATA_OFFSET
- Slab 1: ss + 1*SLAB_SIZE
- Slab k: ss + k*SLAB_SIZE
- Old slab_index_for():
rel = p - (base + SUPERSLAB_SLAB0_DATA_OFFSET);
idx = rel / SLAB_SIZE;
- Result: Off-by-one for slab_idx > 0
Example: tiny_slab_base_for_geometry(ss, 4) returns 0x...40000
slab_index_for(ss, 0x...40000) returns 3 (wrong!)
Impact:
- Block allocated in "C6 slab 4" appears to be in "C5 slab 3"
- Header class_idx (C6) != meta->class_idx (C5)
- TLS SLL corruption → SEGV after extended runs
Fix: core/superslab/superslab_inline.h
======================================
Rewrite slab_index_for() as inverse of Box3 geometry:
static inline int slab_index_for(SuperSlab* ss, void* ptr) {
// ... bounds checks ...
// Slab 0: special case (has metadata offset)
if (p < base + SLAB_SIZE) {
return 0;
}
// Slab 1+: simple SLAB_SIZE spacing from base
size_t rel = p - base; // ← Changed from (p - base - OFFSET)
int idx = (int)(rel / SLAB_SIZE);
return idx;
}
Verification:
- slab_index_for(ss, tiny_slab_base_for_geometry(ss, idx)) == idx ✅
- Consistent for any address within slab
Test Results:
=============
workset=8192 SEGV threshold improved further:
Before this fix (after 2fe970252 ):
✅ 200K iterations: OK
❌ 300K iterations: SEGV
After this fix:
✅ 220K iterations: OK (15.5M ops/s)
❌ 240K iterations: SEGV (different bug)
Progress:
- Iteration 1 (2fe970252 ): 0 → 200K stable
- Iteration 2 (this fix): 200K → 220K stable
- Total improvement: ∞ → 220K iterations (+10% stability)
Known Issues:
- 240K+ still SEGVs (suspected: TLS SLL double-free, per ChatGPT)
- Debug builds may show TLS_SLL_PUSH FATAL double-free detection
- Requires further investigation of free path
Impact:
- No performance regression in stable range
- Header/metadata mismatch errors eliminated
- workset=256 unaffected: 60M+ ops/s maintained

Fix: workset=8192 SEGV - Unify SuperSlab geometry to Box3 (partial fix)
...
Problem:
- bench_random_mixed_hakmem with workset=8192 causes SEGV
- workset=256 works fine
- Root cause identified by ChatGPT analysis
Root Cause:
SuperSlab geometry double definition caused slab_base misalignment:
- Old: tiny_slab_base_for() used SLAB0_OFFSET + idx * SLAB_SIZE
- New: Box3 tiny_slab_base_for_geometry() uses offset only for idx=0
- Result: slab_idx > 0 had +2048 byte offset error
- Impact: Unified Cache carve stepped beyond slab boundary → SEGV
Fix 1: core/superslab/superslab_inline.h
========================================
Delegate SuperSlab base calculation to Box3:
static inline uint8_t* tiny_slab_base_for(SuperSlab* ss, int slab_idx) {
if (!ss || slab_idx < 0) return NULL;
return tiny_slab_base_for_geometry(ss, slab_idx); // ← Box3 unified
}
Effect:
- All tiny_slab_base_for() calls now use single Box3 implementation
- TLS slab_base and Box3 calculations perfectly aligned
- Eliminates geometry mismatch between layers
Fix 2: core/front/tiny_unified_cache.c
========================================
Enhanced fail-fast validation (debug builds only):
- unified_refill_validate_base(): Use TLS as source of truth
- Cross-check with registry lookup for safety
- Validate: slab_base range, alignment, meta consistency
- Box3 + TLS boundary consolidated to one place
Fix 3: core/hakmem_tiny_superslab.h
========================================
Added forward declaration:
- SuperSlab* superslab_refill(int class_idx);
- Required by tiny_unified_cache.c
Test Results:
=============
workset=8192 SEGV threshold improved:
Before fix:
❌ Immediate SEGV at any iteration count
After fix:
✅ 100K iterations: OK (9.8M ops/s)
✅ 200K iterations: OK (15.5M ops/s)
❌ 300K iterations: SEGV (different bug exposed)
Conclusion:
- Box3 geometry unification fixed primary SEGV
- Stability improved: 0 → 200K iterations
- Remaining issue: 300K+ iterations hit different bug
- Likely causes: memory pressure, different corruption pattern
Known Issues:
- Debug warnings still present: FREE_FAST_HDR_META_MISMATCH, NXT_HDR_MISMATCH
- These are separate header consistency issues (not related to geometry)
- 300K+ SEGV requires further investigation
Performance:
- No performance regression observed in stable range
- workset=256 unaffected: 60M+ ops/s maintained

Phase 1: Atomic Freelist Implementation - MT Safety Foundation
...
PROBLEM:
- Larson crashes with 3+ threads (SEGV in freelist operations)
- Root cause: Non-atomic TinySlabMeta.freelist access under contention
- Race condition: Multiple threads pop/push freelist concurrently
SOLUTION:
- Made TinySlabMeta.freelist and .used _Atomic for MT safety
- Created lock-free accessor API (slab_freelist_atomic.h)
- Converted 5 critical hot path sites to use atomic operations
IMPLEMENTATION:
1. superslab_types.h:12-13 - Made freelist and used _Atomic
2. slab_freelist_atomic.h (NEW) - Lock-free CAS operations
- slab_freelist_pop_lockfree() - Atomic pop with CAS loop
- slab_freelist_push_lockfree() - Atomic push (template)
- Relaxed load/store for non-critical paths
3. ss_slab_meta_box.h - Box API now uses atomic accessor
4. hakmem_tiny_superslab.c - Atomic init (store_relaxed)
5. tiny_refill_opt.h - trc_pop_from_freelist() uses lock-free CAS
6. hakmem_tiny_refill_p0.inc.h - Atomic used increment + prefetch
PERFORMANCE:
Single-Threaded (Random Mixed 256B):
Before: 25.1M ops/s (Phase 3d-C baseline)
After: 16.7M ops/s (-34%, atomic overhead expected)
Multi-Threaded (Larson):
1T: 47.9M ops/s ✅
2T: 48.1M ops/s ✅
3T: 46.5M ops/s ✅ (was SEGV before)
4T: 48.1M ops/s ✅
8T: 48.8M ops/s ✅ (stable, no crashes)
MT STABILITY:
Before: SEGV at 3+ threads (100% crash rate)
After: Zero crashes (100% stable at 8 threads)
DESIGN:
- Lock-free CAS: 6-10 cycles overhead (vs 20-30 for mutex)
- Relaxed ordering: 0 cycles overhead (same as non-atomic)
- Memory ordering: acquire/release for CAS, relaxed for checks
- Expected regression: <3% single-threaded, +MT stability
NEXT STEPS:
- Phase 2: Convert 40 important sites (TLS-related freelist ops)
- Phase 3: Convert 25 cleanup sites (remaining + documentation)

Phase 12-1.1: EMPTY Slab Detection + Immediate Reuse (+13% improvement, 10.2M→11.5M ops/s)
...
Implementation of Task-sensei Priority 1 recommendation: Add empty_mask to SuperSlab
for immediate EMPTY slab detection and reuse, reducing Stage 3 (mmap) overhead.
## Changes
### 1. SuperSlab Structure (core/superslab/superslab_types.h)
- Added `empty_mask` (uint32_t): Bitmap for EMPTY slabs (used==0)
- Added `empty_count` (uint8_t): Quick check for EMPTY slab availability
### 2. EMPTY Detection API (core/box/ss_hot_cold_box.h)
- Added `ss_is_slab_empty()`: Returns true if slab is completely EMPTY
- Added `ss_mark_slab_empty()`: Marks slab as EMPTY (highest reuse priority)
- Added `ss_clear_slab_empty()`: Removes EMPTY state when reactivated
- Updated `ss_update_hot_cold_indices()`: Classify EMPTY/Hot/Cold slabs
- Updated `ss_init_hot_cold()`: Initialize empty_mask/empty_count
### 3. Free Path Integration (core/box/free_local_box.c)
- After `meta->used--`, check if `meta->used == 0`
- If true, call `ss_mark_slab_empty()` to update empty_mask
- Enables immediate EMPTY detection on every free operation
### 4. Shared Pool Stage 0.5 (core/hakmem_shared_pool.c)
- New Stage 0.5 before Stage 1: Scan existing SuperSlabs for EMPTY slabs
- Iterate over `g_super_reg_by_class[class_idx][]` (first 16 entries)
- Check `ss->empty_count > 0` → scan `empty_mask` with `__builtin_ctz()`
- Reuse EMPTY slab directly, avoiding Stage 3 (mmap/lock overhead)
- ENV control: `HAKMEM_SS_EMPTY_REUSE=1` (default OFF for A/B testing)
- ENV tunable: `HAKMEM_SS_EMPTY_SCAN_LIMIT=N` (default 16 SuperSlabs)
## Performance Results
```
Benchmark: Random Mixed 256B (100K iterations)
OFF (default): 10.2M ops/s (baseline)
ON (ENV=1): 11.5M ops/s (+13.0% improvement) ✅
```
## Expected Impact (from Task-sensei analysis)
**Current bottleneck**:
- Stage 1: 2-5% hit rate (free list broken)
- Stage 2: 3-8% hit rate (rare UNUSED)
- Stage 3: 87-95% hit rate (lock + mmap overhead) ← bottleneck
**Expected with Phase 12-1.1**:
- Stage 0.5: 20-40% hit rate (EMPTY scan)
- Stage 1-2: 20-30% hit rate (combined)
- Stage 3: 30-50% hit rate (significantly reduced)
**Theoretical max**: 25M → 55-70M ops/s (+120-180%)
## Current Gap Analysis
**Observed**: 11.5M ops/s (+13%)
**Expected**: 55-70M ops/s (+120-180%)
**Gap**: Performance regression or missing complementary optimizations
Possible causes:
1. Phase 3d-C (25.1M→10.2M) regression - unrelated to this change
2. EMPTY scan overhead (16 SuperSlabs × empty_count check)
3. Missing Priority 2-5 optimizations (Lazy SS deallocation, etc.)
4. Stage 0.5 too conservative (scan_limit=16, should be higher?)
## Usage
```bash
# Enable EMPTY reuse optimization
export HAKMEM_SS_EMPTY_REUSE=1
# Optional: increase scan limit (trade-off: throughput vs latency)
export HAKMEM_SS_EMPTY_SCAN_LIMIT=32
./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 100000 256 42
```
## Next Steps
**Priority 1-A**: Investigate Phase 3d-C→12-1.1 regression (25.1M→10.2M)
**Priority 1-B**: Implement Phase 12-1.2 (Lazy SS deallocation) for complementary effect
**Priority 1-C**: Profile Stage 0.5 overhead (scan_limit tuning)

Phase 12: Shared SuperSlab Pool implementation (WIP - runtime crash)
...
## Summary
Implemented Phase 12 Shared SuperSlab Pool (mimalloc-style) to address
SuperSlab allocation churn (877 SuperSlabs → 100-200 target).
## Implementation (ChatGPT + Claude)
1. **Metadata changes** (superslab_types.h):
- Added class_idx to TinySlabMeta (per-slab dynamic class)
- Removed size_class from SuperSlab (no longer per-SuperSlab)
- Changed owner_tid (16-bit) → owner_tid_low (8-bit)
2. **Shared Pool** (hakmem_shared_pool.{h,c}):
- Global pool shared by all size classes
- shared_pool_acquire_slab() - Get free slab for class_idx
- shared_pool_release_slab() - Return slab when empty
- Per-class hints for fast path optimization
3. **Integration** (23 files modified):
- Updated all ss->size_class → meta->class_idx
- Updated all meta->owner_tid → meta->owner_tid_low
- superslab_refill() now uses shared pool
- Free path releases empty slabs back to pool
4. **Build system** (Makefile):
- Added hakmem_shared_pool.o to OBJS_BASE and TINY_BENCH_OBJS_BASE
## Status: ⚠️ Build OK, Runtime CRASH
**Build**: ✅ SUCCESS
- All 23 files compile without errors
- Only warnings: superslab_allocate type mismatch (legacy code)
**Runtime**: ❌ SEGFAULT
- Crash location: sll_refill_small_from_ss()
- Exit code: 139 (SIGSEGV)
- Test case: ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 1000 256 42
## Known Issues
1. **SEGFAULT in refill path** - Likely shared_pool_acquire_slab() issue
2. **Legacy superslab_allocate()** still exists (type mismatch warning)
3. **Remaining TODOs** from design doc:
- SuperSlab physical layout integration
- slab_handle.h cleanup
- Remove old per-class head implementation
## Next Steps
1. Debug SEGFAULT (gdb backtrace shows sll_refill_small_from_ss)
2. Fix shared_pool_acquire_slab() or superslab_init_slab()
3. Basic functionality test (1K → 100K iterations)
4. Measure SuperSlab count reduction (877 → 100-200)
5. Performance benchmark (+650-860% expected)

Phase 9: SuperSlab Lazy Deallocation + mincore removal
...
Goal: Eliminate syscall overhead (99.2% CPU) to approach System malloc performance
Implementation:
1. mincore removal (100% elimination)
- Deleted: hakmem_internal.h hak_is_memory_readable() syscall
- Deleted: tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h safety checks
- Alternative: Internal metadata (Registry + Header magic validation)
- Result: 841 mincore calls → 0 calls ✅
2. SuperSlab Lazy Deallocation
- Added LRU Cache Manager (470 lines in hakmem_super_registry.c)
- Extended SuperSlab: last_used_ns, generation, lru_prev/next
- Deallocation policy: Count/Memory/TTL based eviction
- Environment variables:
* HAKMEM_SUPERSLAB_MAX_CACHED=256 (default)
* HAKMEM_SUPERSLAB_MAX_MEMORY_MB=512 (default)
* HAKMEM_SUPERSLAB_TTL_SEC=60 (default)
3. Integration
- superslab_allocate: Try LRU cache first before mmap
- superslab_free: Push to LRU cache instead of immediate munmap
- Lazy deallocation: Defer munmap until cache limits exceeded
Performance Results (100K iterations, 256B allocations):
Before (Phase 7-8):
- Performance: 2.76M ops/s
- Syscalls: 3,412 (mmap:1,250, munmap:1,321, mincore:841)
After (Phase 9):
- Performance: 9.71M ops/s (+251%) 🏆
- Syscalls: 1,729 (mmap:877, munmap:852, mincore:0) (-49%)
Key Achievements:
- ✅ mincore: 100% elimination (841 → 0)
- ✅ mmap: -30% reduction (1,250 → 877)
- ✅ munmap: -35% reduction (1,321 → 852)
- ✅ Total syscalls: -49% reduction (3,412 → 1,729)
- ✅ Performance: +251% improvement (2.76M → 9.71M ops/s)
System malloc comparison:
- HAKMEM: 9.71M ops/s
- System malloc: 90.04M ops/s
- Achievement: 10.8% (target: 93%)
Next optimization:
- Further mmap/munmap reduction (1,729 vs System's 13 = 133x gap)
- Pre-warm LRU cache
- Adaptive LRU sizing
- Per-class LRU cache
Production ready with recommended settings:
export HAKMEM_SUPERSLAB_MAX_CACHED=256
export HAKMEM_SUPERSLAB_MAX_MEMORY_MB=512

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

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.

feat: Phase 7 + Phase 2 - Massive performance & stability improvements
...
Performance Achievements:
- Tiny allocations: +180-280% (21M → 59-70M ops/s random mixed)
- Single-thread: +24% (2.71M → 3.36M ops/s Larson)
- 4T stability: 0% → 95% (19/20 success rate)
- Overall: 91.3% of System malloc average (target was 40-55%) ✓
Phase 7 (Tasks 1-3): Core Optimizations
- Task 1: Header validation removal (Region-ID direct lookup)
- Task 2: Aggressive inline (TLS cache access optimization)
- Task 3: Pre-warm TLS cache (eliminate cold-start penalty)
Result: +180-280% improvement, 85-146% of System malloc
Critical Bug Fixes:
- Fix 64B allocation crash (size-to-class +1 for header)
- Fix 4T wrapper recursion bugs (BUG #7 , #8 , #10 , #11 )
- Remove malloc fallback (30% → 50% stability)

Phase 7-1 PoC: Region-ID Direct Lookup (+39%~+436% improvement!)
...
Implemented ultra-fast header-based free path that eliminates SuperSlab
lookup bottleneck (100+ cycles → 5-10 cycles).
## Key Changes
1. **Smart Headers** (core/tiny_region_id.h):
- 1-byte header before each allocation stores class_idx
- Memory layout: [Header: 1B] [User data: N-1B]
- Overhead: <2% average (0% for Slab[0] using wasted padding)
2. **Ultra-Fast Allocation** (core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h):
- Write header at base: *base = class_idx
- Return user pointer: base + 1
3. **Ultra-Fast Free** (core/tiny_free_fast_v2.inc.h):
- Read class_idx from header (ptr-1): 2-3 cycles
- Push base (ptr-1) to TLS freelist: 3-5 cycles
- Total: 5-10 cycles (vs 500+ cycles current!)
4. **Free Path Integration** (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h):
- Removed SuperSlab lookup from fast path
- Direct header validation (no lookup needed!)
5. **Size Class Adjustment** (core/hakmem_tiny.h):
- Max tiny size: 1023B (was 1024B)
- 1024B requests → Mid allocator fallback
## Performance Results
| Size | Baseline | Phase 7 | Improvement |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| 128B | 1.22M | 6.54M | **+436%** 🚀 |
| 512B | 1.22M | 1.70M | **+39%** |
| 1023B | 1.22M | 1.92M | **+57%** |
## Build & Test
Enable Phase 7:
make HEADER_CLASSIDX=1 bench_random_mixed_hakmem
Run benchmark:
HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB=1 ./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 10000 128 1234567
## Known Issues
- 1024B requests fallback to Mid allocator (by design)
- Target 40-60M ops/s not yet reached (current: 1.7-6.5M)
- Further optimization needed (TLS capacity tuning, refill optimization)

Fix: CRITICAL double-allocation bug in trc_linear_carve()
...
Root Cause:
trc_linear_carve() used meta->used as cursor, but meta->used decrements
on free, causing already-allocated blocks to be re-carved.
Evidence:
- [LINEAR_CARVE] used=61 batch=1 → block 61 created
- (blocks freed, used decrements 62→59)
- [LINEAR_CARVE] used=59 batch=3 → blocks 59,60,61 RE-CREATED!
- Result: double-allocation → memory corruption → SEGV
Fix Implementation:
1. Added TinySlabMeta.carved (monotonic counter, never decrements)
2. Changed trc_linear_carve() to use carved instead of used
3. carved tracks carve progress, used tracks active count
Files Modified:
- core/superslab/superslab_types.h: Add carved field
- core/tiny_refill_opt.h: Use carved in trc_linear_carve()
- core/hakmem_tiny_superslab.c: Initialize carved=0
- core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h: Add next pointer validation
- core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc: Add drain/free validation
Test Results:
✅ bench_random_mixed: 950,037 ops/s (no crash)
✅ Fail-fast mode: 651,627 ops/s (with diagnostic logs)
