本線タスク（現在）

次フェーズ: Phase TLS-UNIFY-3-DESIGN（C6 ULTRA intrusive freelist 設計）

• 目的: C6 ULTRA 専用の intrusive freelist（ブロック内 next ポインタ）を設計し、TinyUltraTlsCtx 上でどう扱うかを文書化する。
• 作業内容:
  • docs/analysis/ULTRA_C6_INTRUSIVE_FREELIST_DESIGN_V11B.md を新規作成し、
    • C6 ブロックレイアウト（next ポインタ位置 / header 取り扱い）,
    • C6 用 alloc/free API,
    • 既存 C6 ULTRA から v12 lane への移行プラン をまとめる。
  • TLS 統合との整合性メモ（TinyUltraTlsCtx の c6_* フィールドを使う / C4-C5 は当面 array マガジンのまま）を書いておく。
• このフェーズは 設計だけ。実装は次セッション以降。

Phase v11a-5: Hot Path Optimization - COMPLETED

Status: ✅ COMPLETE - 大幅な性能改善達成

変更内容

1. Hot path簡素化: malloc_tiny_fast() を単一switch構造に統合
2. C7 ULTRA early-exit: Policy snapshot前にC7 ULTRAをearly-exit（最大ホットパス最適化）
3. ENV checks移動: すべてのENVチェックをPolicy initに集約

結果サマリ (vs v11a-4)

Workload	v11a-4 Baseline	v11a-5 Baseline	改善
Mixed 16-1024B	38.6M	45.4M	+17.6%
C6-heavy (257-512B)	39.0M	49.1M	+26%

Workload	v11a-4 MID v3.5	v11a-5 MID v3.5	改善
Mixed 16-1024B	40.3M	41.8M	+3.7%
C6-heavy (257-512B)	40.2M	53.1M	+32%

v11a-5 内部比較

Workload	Baseline	MID v3.5 ON	差分
Mixed 16-1024B	45.4M	41.8M	-8% (LEGACYが速い)
C6-heavy (257-512B)	49.1M	53.1M	+8.1%

結論

1. Hot path最適化で大幅改善: Baseline +17-26%、MID v3.5 ON +3-32%
2. C7 early-exitが効果大: Policy snapshot回避で約10M ops/s向上
3. MID v3.5はC6-heavyで有効: C6主体ワークロードで+8%改善
4. Mixedワークロードではbaselineが最適: LEGACYパスがシンプルで速い

技術詳細

• C7 ULTRA early-exit: tiny_c7_ultra_enabled_env() (static cached) で判定
• Policy snapshot: TLSキャッシュ + version check (version mismatch時のみ再初期化)
• Single switch: route_kind[class_idx] で分岐（ULTRA/MID_V35/V7/MID_V3/LEGACY）

Architecture

Layer Structure

L3: Learner v2 (smallobject_learner_v2.c)
     ↑ (stats aggregation)
L2: StatsBox (smallobject_stats_mid_v3.c)
     ↑ (publish events)
L2: ColdIface (smallobject_cold_iface_mid_v3.c)
     ↑ (refill/retire)
L2: SegmentBox (smallobject_segment_mid_v3.c)
     ↑ (page management)
L1: [Future: Hot path integration]

Data Flow

1. Page Refill: ColdIface → SegmentBox (take from free stack)
2. Page Retire: ColdIface → StatsBox (publish) → Learner (aggregate)
3. Decision: Learner calculates C5 ratio → routing decision (v7 vs MID_v3)

Key Design Decisions

1. No Hot Path Integration: Phase v11a-2 focuses on infrastructure only

   • Existing MID v3 routing unchanged
   • New code is dormant (linked but not called)
   • Ready for future activation

2. ULTRA Geometry Reuse: 2MiB segments, 64KiB pages

   • Proven design from C7 ULTRA
   • Efficient for C5-C7 range (257-1024B)
   • Good balance between fragmentation and overhead

3. Per-Class Free Stacks: Independent page pools per class

   • Reduces cross-class interference
   • Simplifies page accounting
   • Enables per-class statistics

4. Exponential Smoothing: 90% historical + 10% new

   • Stable metrics despite workload variation
   • React to trends without noise
   • Standard industry practice
