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 C7(1KB) SEGV triage hardening: always-on lightweight free-time guards for headerless class7 in both hak_tiny_free_with_slab and superslab free path (alignment/range check, fail-fast via SIGUSR2). Leave C7 P0/direct-FC gated OFF by default. Add docs/TINY_C7_1KB_SEGV_TRIAGE.md for Claude with repro matrix, hypotheses, instrumentation and acceptance criteria.

Tiny: Enable P0→FC direct path for class7 (1KB) by default + docs
...
- Class7 (1KB): P0 direct-to-FastCache now default ON (HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_C7 unset or not '0').
- Keep A/B gates: HAKMEM_TINY_P0_ENABLE, HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC (class5), HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DIRECT_FC_C7 (class7),
HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DRAIN_THRESH (default 32), HAKMEM_TINY_P0_NO_DRAIN, HAKMEM_TINY_P0_LOG.
- P0 batch now supports class7 direct fill in addition to class5: gather (drain thresholded → freelist pop → linear carve)
without writing into objects, then bulk-push into FC, update meta/active counters once.
- Docs: Update direct-FC defaults (class5+class7 ON) in docs/TINY_P0_BATCH_REFILL.md.
Notes
- Use tools/bench_rs_from_files.sh for RS(hakmem/system) to compare runs across CPUs.
- Next: parameter sweep for class7 (FC cap/batch limit/drain threshold) and perf counters A/B.

Tiny: Enable P0 batch refill by default + docs and task update
...
Summary
- Default P0 ON: Build-time HAKMEM_TINY_P0_BATCH_REFILL=1 remains; runtime gate now defaults to ON
(HAKMEM_TINY_P0_ENABLE unset or not '0'). Kill switch preserved via HAKMEM_TINY_P0_DISABLE=1.
- Fix critical bug: After freelist→SLL batch splice, increment TinySlabMeta::used by 'from_freelist'
to mirror non-P0 behavior (prevents under-accounting and follow-on carve invariants from breaking).
- Add low-overhead A/B toggles for triage: HAKMEM_TINY_P0_NO_DRAIN (skip remote drain),
HAKMEM_TINY_P0_LOG (emit [P0_COUNTER_OK/MISMATCH] based on total_active_blocks delta).
- Keep linear carve fail-fast guards across simple/general/TLS-bump paths.
Perf (1T, 100k×256B)
- P0 OFF: ~2.73M ops/s (stable)
- P0 ON (no drain): ~2.45M ops/s
- P0 ON (normal drain): ~2.76M ops/s (fastest)
Known
- Rare [P0_COUNTER_MISMATCH] warnings persist (non-fatal). Continue auditing active/used
balance around batch freelist splice and remote drain splice.
Docs
- Add docs/TINY_P0_BATCH_REFILL.md (runtime switches, behavior, perf notes).
- Update CURRENT_TASK.md with Tiny P0 status (default ON) and next steps.

Tiny: fix header/stride mismatch and harden refill paths
...
- Root cause: header-based class indexing (HEADER_CLASSIDX=1) wrote a 1-byte
header during allocation, but linear carve/refill and initial slab capacity
still used bare class block sizes. This mismatch could overrun slab usable
space and corrupt freelists, causing reproducible SEGV at ~100k iters.
Changes
- Superslab: compute capacity with effective stride (block_size + header for
classes 0..6; class7 remains headerless) in superslab_init_slab(). Add a
debug-only bound check in superslab_alloc_from_slab() to fail fast if carve
would exceed usable bytes.
- Refill (non-P0 and P0): use header-aware stride for all linear carving and
TLS window bump operations. Ensure alignment/validation in tiny_refill_opt.h
also uses stride, not raw class size.
- Drain: keep existing defense-in-depth for remote sentinel and sanitize nodes
before splicing into freelist (already present).
Notes
- This unifies the memory layout across alloc/linear-carve/refill with a single
stride definition and keeps class7 (1024B) headerless as designed.
- Debug builds add fail-fast checks; release builds remain lean.
Next
- Re-run Tiny benches (256/1024B) in debug to confirm stability, then in
release. If any remaining crash persists, bisect with HAKMEM_TINY_P0_BATCH_REFILL=0
to isolate P0 batch carve, and continue reducing branch-miss as planned.

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.
