2be754853f Phase 11: SuperSlab Prewarm implementation (startup pre-allocation)
## Summary
Pre-allocate SuperSlabs at startup to eliminate runtime mmap overhead.
Result: +6.4% improvement (8.82M → 9.38M ops/s) but still 9x slower than System malloc.

## Key Findings (Lesson Learned)
- Syscall reduction strategy targeted WRONG bottleneck
- Real bottleneck: SuperSlab allocation churn (877 SuperSlabs needed)
- Prewarm reduces mmap frequency but doesn't solve fundamental architecture issue

## Implementation
- Two-phase allocation with atomic bypass flag
- Environment variable: HAKMEM_PREWARM_SUPERSLABS (default: 0)
- Best result: Prewarm=8 → 9.38M ops/s (+6.4%)

## Next Step
Pivot to Phase 12: Shared SuperSlab Pool (mimalloc-style)
- Expected: 877 → 100-200 SuperSlabs (-70-80%)
- This addresses ROOT CAUSE (allocation churn) not symptoms

fb10d1710b 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

382980d450 Phase 6-2.4: Fix SuperSlab free SEGV: remove guess loop and add memory readability check; add registry atomic consistency (base as _Atomic uintptr_t with acq/rel); add debug toggles (SUPER_REG_DEBUG/REQTRACE); update CURRENT_TASK with results and next steps; capture suite results. 2025-11-07 18:07:48 +09:00
4978340c02 Tiny/SuperSlab: implement per-class registry optimization for fast refill scan
Replace 262K linear registry scan with per-class indexed registry:
- Add g_super_reg_by_class[TINY_NUM_CLASSES][16384] for O(class_size) scan
- Update hak_super_register/unregister to maintain both hash table + per-class index
- Optimize refill scan in hakmem_tiny_free.inc (262K → ~10-100 entries per class)
- Optimize mmap gate scan in tiny_mmap_gate.h (same optimization)

Performance impact (Larson benchmark):
- threads=1: 2.59M → 2.61M ops/s (+0.8%)
- threads=4: 3.62M → 4.19M ops/s (+15.7%) 🎉

Root cause analysis via perf:
- superslab_refill consumed 28.51% CPU time (97.65% in loop instructions)
- 262,144-entry linear scan with 2 atomic loads per iteration
- Per-class registry reduces scan target by 98.4% (262K → 16K per class)

Registry capacity:
- SUPER_REG_PER_CLASS = 16384 (increased from 4096 to avoid exhaustion)
- Total: 8 classes × 16384 = 128K entries (vs 262K unified registry)

Design:
- Dual registry: Hash table (address lookup) + Per-class index (refill scan)
- O(1) registration/unregistration with swap-with-last removal
- Lock-free reads, mutex-protected writes (same as before)

52386401b3 Debug Counters Implementation - Clean History
Major Features:
- Debug counter infrastructure for Refill Stage tracking
- Free Pipeline counters (ss_local, ss_remote, tls_sll)
- Diagnostic counters for early return analysis
- Unified larson.sh benchmark runner with profiles
- Phase 6-3 regression analysis documentation

Bug Fixes:
- Fix SuperSlab disabled by default (HAKMEM_TINY_USE_SUPERSLAB)
- Fix profile variable naming consistency
- Add .gitignore patterns for large files

Performance:
- Phase 6-3: 4.79 M ops/s (has OOM risk)
- With SuperSlab: 3.13 M ops/s (+19% improvement)

This is a clean repository without large log files.
