1 /* 2 A version of malloc/free/realloc written by Doug Lea and released to the 3 public domain. Send questions/comments/complaints/performance data 4 to dl@cs.oswego.edu 5 6 * VERSION 2.6.6 Sun Mar 5 19:10:03 2000 Doug Lea (dl at gee) 7 8 Note: There may be an updated version of this malloc obtainable at 9 ftp://g.oswego.edu/pub/misc/malloc.c 10 Check before installing! 11 12 * Why use this malloc? 13 14 This is not the fastest, most space-conserving, most portable, or 15 most tunable malloc ever written. However it is among the fastest 16 while also being among the most space-conserving, portable and tunable. 17 Consistent balance across these factors results in a good general-purpose 18 allocator. For a high-level description, see 19 http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html 20 21 * Synopsis of public routines 22 23 (Much fuller descriptions are contained in the program documentation below.) 24 25 malloc(size_t n); 26 Return a pointer to a newly allocated chunk of at least n bytes, or null 27 if no space is available. 28 free(Void_t* p); 29 Release the chunk of memory pointed to by p, or no effect if p is null. 30 realloc(Void_t* p, size_t n); 31 Return a pointer to a chunk of size n that contains the same data 32 as does chunk p up to the minimum of (n, p's size) bytes, or null 33 if no space is available. The returned pointer may or may not be 34 the same as p. If p is null, equivalent to malloc. Unless the 35 #define REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES below is set, realloc with a 36 size argument of zero (re)allocates a minimum-sized chunk. 37 memalign(size_t alignment, size_t n); 38 Return a pointer to a newly allocated chunk of n bytes, aligned 39 in accord with the alignment argument, which must be a power of 40 two. 41 valloc(size_t n); 42 Equivalent to memalign(pagesize, n), where pagesize is the page 43 size of the system (or as near to this as can be figured out from 44 all the includes/defines below.) 45 pvalloc(size_t n); 46 Equivalent to valloc(minimum-page-that-holds(n)), that is, 47 round up n to nearest pagesize. 48 calloc(size_t unit, size_t quantity); 49 Returns a pointer to quantity * unit bytes, with all locations 50 set to zero. 51 cfree(Void_t* p); 52 Equivalent to free(p). 53 malloc_trim(size_t pad); 54 Release all but pad bytes of freed top-most memory back 55 to the system. Return 1 if successful, else 0. 56 malloc_usable_size(Void_t* p); 57 Report the number usable allocated bytes associated with allocated 58 chunk p. This may or may not report more bytes than were requested, 59 due to alignment and minimum size constraints. 60 malloc_stats(); 61 Prints brief summary statistics on stderr. 62 mallinfo() 63 Returns (by copy) a struct containing various summary statistics. 64 mallopt(int parameter_number, int parameter_value) 65 Changes one of the tunable parameters described below. Returns 66 1 if successful in changing the parameter, else 0. 67 68 * Vital statistics: 69 70 Alignment: 8-byte 71 8 byte alignment is currently hardwired into the design. This 72 seems to suffice for all current machines and C compilers. 73 74 Assumed pointer representation: 4 or 8 bytes 75 Code for 8-byte pointers is untested by me but has worked 76 reliably by Wolfram Gloger, who contributed most of the 77 changes supporting this. 78 79 Assumed size_t representation: 4 or 8 bytes 80 Note that size_t is allowed to be 4 bytes even if pointers are 8. 81 82 Minimum overhead per allocated chunk: 4 or 8 bytes 83 Each malloced chunk has a hidden overhead of 4 bytes holding size 84 and status information. 85 86 Minimum allocated size: 4-byte ptrs: 16 bytes (including 4 overhead) 87 8-byte ptrs: 24/32 bytes (including, 4/8 overhead) 88 89 When a chunk is freed, 12 (for 4byte ptrs) or 20 (for 8 byte 90 ptrs but 4 byte size) or 24 (for 8/8) additional bytes are 91 needed; 4 (8) for a trailing size field 92 and 8 (16) bytes for free list pointers. Thus, the minimum 93 allocatable size is 16/24/32 bytes. 94 95 Even a request for zero bytes (i.e., malloc(0)) returns a 96 pointer to something of the minimum allocatable size. 97 98 Maximum allocated size: 4-byte size_t: 2^31 - 8 bytes 99 8-byte size_t: 2^63 - 16 bytes 100 101 It is assumed that (possibly signed) size_t bit values suffice to 102 represent chunk sizes. `Possibly signed' is due to the fact 103 that `size_t' may be defined on a system as either a signed or 104 an unsigned type. To be conservative, values that would appear 105 as negative numbers are avoided. 106 Requests for sizes with a negative sign bit when the request 107 size is treaded as a long will return null. 108 109 Maximum overhead wastage per allocated chunk: normally 15 bytes 110 111 Alignnment demands, plus the minimum allocatable size restriction 112 make the normal worst-case wastage 15 bytes (i.e., up to 15 113 more bytes will be allocated than were requested in malloc), with 114 two exceptions: 115 1. Because requests for zero bytes allocate non-zero space, 116 the worst case wastage for a request of zero bytes is 24 bytes. 117 2. For requests >= mmap_threshold that are serviced via 118 mmap(), the worst case wastage is 8 bytes plus the remainder 119 from a system page (the minimal mmap unit); typically 4096 bytes. 120 121 * Limitations 122 123 Here are some features that are NOT currently supported 124 125 * No user-definable hooks for callbacks and the like. 126 * No automated mechanism for fully checking that all accesses 127 to malloced memory stay within their bounds. 128 * No support for compaction. 129 130 * Synopsis of compile-time options: 131 132 People have reported using previous versions of this malloc on all 133 versions of Unix, sometimes by tweaking some of the defines 134 below. It has been tested most extensively on Solaris and 135 Linux. It is also reported to work on WIN32 platforms. 136 People have also reported adapting this malloc for use in 137 stand-alone embedded systems. 138 139 The implementation is in straight, hand-tuned ANSI C. Among other 140 consequences, it uses a lot of macros. Because of this, to be at 141 all usable, this code should be compiled using an optimizing compiler 142 (for example gcc -O2) that can simplify expressions and control 143 paths. 144 145 __STD_C (default: derived from C compiler defines) 146 Nonzero if using ANSI-standard C compiler, a C++ compiler, or 147 a C compiler sufficiently close to ANSI to get away with it. 148 DEBUG (default: NOT defined) 149 Define to enable debugging. Adds fairly extensive assertion-based 150 checking to help track down memory errors, but noticeably slows down 151 execution. 152 REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES (default: NOT defined) 153 Define this if you think that realloc(p, 0) should be equivalent 154 to free(p). Otherwise, since malloc returns a unique pointer for 155 malloc(0), so does realloc(p, 0). 156 HAVE_MEMCPY (default: defined) 157 Define if you are not otherwise using ANSI STD C, but still 158 have memcpy and memset in your C library and want to use them. 159 Otherwise, simple internal versions are supplied. 160 USE_MEMCPY (default: 1 if HAVE_MEMCPY is defined, 0 otherwise) 161 Define as 1 if you want the C library versions of memset and 162 memcpy called in realloc and calloc (otherwise macro versions are used). 163 At least on some platforms, the simple macro versions usually 164 outperform libc versions. 165 HAVE_MMAP (default: defined as 1) 166 Define to non-zero to optionally make malloc() use mmap() to 167 allocate very large blocks. 168 HAVE_MREMAP (default: defined as 0 unless Linux libc set) 169 Define to non-zero to optionally make realloc() use mremap() to 170 reallocate very large blocks. 171 malloc_getpagesize (default: derived from system #includes) 172 Either a constant or routine call returning the system page size. 173 HAVE_USR_INCLUDE_MALLOC_H (default: NOT defined) 174 Optionally define if you are on a system with a /usr/include/malloc.h 175 that declares struct mallinfo. It is not at all necessary to 176 define this even if you do, but will ensure consistency. 177 INTERNAL_SIZE_T (default: size_t) 178 Define to a 32-bit type (probably `unsigned int') if you are on a 179 64-bit machine, yet do not want or need to allow malloc requests of 180 greater than 2^31 to be handled. This saves space, especially for 181 very small chunks. 182 INTERNAL_LINUX_C_LIB (default: NOT defined) 183 Defined only when compiled as part of Linux libc. 184 Also note that there is some odd internal name-mangling via defines 185 (for example, internally, `malloc' is named `mALLOc') needed 186 when compiling in this case. These look funny but don't otherwise 187 affect anything. 188 WIN32 (default: undefined) 189 Define this on MS win (95, nt) platforms to compile in sbrk emulation. 190 LACKS_UNISTD_H (default: undefined if not WIN32) 191 Define this if your system does not have a <unistd.h>. 192 LACKS_SYS_PARAM_H (default: undefined if not WIN32) 193 Define this if your system does not have a <sys/param.h>. 194 MORECORE (default: sbrk) 195 The name of the routine to call to obtain more memory from the system. 196 MORECORE_FAILURE (default: -1) 197 The value returned upon failure of MORECORE. 198 MORECORE_CLEARS (default 1) 199 true (1) if the routine mapped to MORECORE zeroes out memory (which 200 holds for sbrk). 201 DEFAULT_TRIM_THRESHOLD 202 DEFAULT_TOP_PAD 203 DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD 204 DEFAULT_MMAP_MAX 205 Default values of tunable parameters (described in detail below) 206 controlling interaction with host system routines (sbrk, mmap, etc). 207 These values may also be changed dynamically via mallopt(). The 208 preset defaults are those that give best performance for typical 209 programs/systems. 210 USE_DL_PREFIX (default: undefined) 211 Prefix all public routines with the string 'dl'. Useful to 212 quickly avoid procedure declaration conflicts and linker symbol 213 conflicts with existing memory allocation routines. 214 215 216 */ 217 218 219 #ifndef __MALLOC_H__ 220 #define __MALLOC_H__ 221 222 /* Preliminaries */ 223 224 #ifndef __STD_C 225 #ifdef __STDC__ 226 #define __STD_C 1 227 #else 228 #if __cplusplus 229 #define __STD_C 1 230 #else 231 #define __STD_C 0 232 #endif /*__cplusplus*/ 233 #endif /*__STDC__*/ 234 #endif /*__STD_C*/ 235 236 #ifndef Void_t 237 #if (__STD_C || defined(WIN32)) 238 #define Void_t void 239 #else 240 #define Void_t char 241 #endif 242 #endif /*Void_t*/ 243 244 #if __STD_C 245 #include <linux/stddef.h> /* for size_t */ 246 #else 247 #include <sys/types.h> 248 #endif /* __STD_C */ 249 250 #ifdef __cplusplus 251 extern "C" { 252 #endif 253 254 #if 0 /* not for U-Boot */ 255 #include <stdio.h> /* needed for malloc_stats */ 256 #endif 257 258 259 /* 260 Compile-time options 261 */ 262 263 264 /* 265 Debugging: 266 267 Because freed chunks may be overwritten with link fields, this 268 malloc will often die when freed memory is overwritten by user 269 programs.

You probably won't be 274 able to make much sense of the actual assertion errors, but they 275 should help you locate incorrectly overwritten memory. The 276 checking is fairly extensive, and will slow down execution 277 noticeably.

For example, in one test suite of sessions measuring 647 the XF86 X server on Linux, using a trim threshold of 128K and a 648 mmap threshold of 192K led to near-minimal long term resource 649 consumption. 650 651 If you are using this malloc in a long-lived program, it should 652 pay to experiment with these values. As a rough guide, you 653 might set to a value close to the average size of a process 654 (program) running on your system. Releasing this much memory 655 would allow such a process to run in memory. Generally, it's 656 worth it to tune for trimming rather tham memory mapping when a 657 program undergoes phases where several large chunks are 658 allocated and released in ways that can reuse each other's 659 storage, perhaps mixed with phases where there are no such 660 chunks at all. And in well-behaved long-lived programs, 661 controlling release of large blocks via trimming versus mapping 662 is usually faster. 663 664 However, in most programs, these parameters serve mainly as 665 protection against the system-level effects of carrying around 666 massive amounts of unneeded memory. Since frequent calls to 667 sbrk, mmap, and munmap otherwise degrade performance, the default 668 parameters are set to relatively high values that serve only as 669 safeguards. 670 671 The default trim value is high enough to cause trimming only in 672 fairly extreme (by current memory consumption standards) cases. 673 It must be greater than page size to have any useful effect. To 674 disable trimming completely, you can set to (unsigned long)(-1); 675 676 677 */ 678 679 680 #ifndef DEFAULT_TOP_PAD 681 #define DEFAULT_TOP_PAD (0) 682 #endif 683 684 /* 685 M_TOP_PAD is the amount of extra `padding' space to allocate or 686 retain whenever sbrk is called. It is used in two ways internally: 687 688 * When sbrk is called to extend the top of the arena to satisfy 689 a new malloc request, this much padding is added to the sbrk 690 request. 691 692 * When malloc_trim is called automatically from free(), 693 it is used as the `pad' argument. 694 695 In both cases, the actual amount of padding is rounded 696 so that the end of the arena is always a system page boundary. 697 698 The main reason for using padding is to avoid calling sbrk so 699 often. Having even a small pad greatly reduces the likelihood 700 that nearly every malloc request during program start-up (or 701 after trimming) will invoke sbrk, which needlessly wastes 702 time. 703 704 Automatic rounding-up to page-size units is normally sufficient 705 to avoid measurable overhead, so the default is 0. However, in 706 systems where sbrk is relatively slow, it can pay to increase 707 this value, at the expense of carrying around more memory than 708 the program needs. 709 710 */ 711 712 713 #ifndef DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD 714 #define DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD (128 * 1024) 715 #endif 716 717 /* 718 719 M_MMAP_THRESHOLD is the request size threshold for using mmap() 720 to service a request. Requests of at least this size that cannot 721 be allocated using already-existing space will be serviced via mmap. 722 (If enough normal freed space already exists it is used instead.) 723 724 Using mmap segregates relatively large chunks of memory so that 725 they can be individually obtained and released from the host 726 system. A request serviced through mmap is never reused by any 727 other request (at least not directly; the system may just so 728 happen to remap successive requests to the same locations). 729 730 Segregating space in this way has the benefit that mmapped space 731 can ALWAYS be individually released back to the system, which 732 helps keep the system level memory demands of a long-lived 733 program low. Mapped memory can never become `locked' between 734 other chunks, as can happen with normally allocated chunks, which 735 menas that even trimming via malloc_trim would not release them. 736 737 However, it has the disadvantages that: 738 739 1. The space cannot be reclaimed, consolidated, and then 740 used to service later requests, as happens with normal chunks. 741 2. It can lead to more wastage because of mmap page alignment 742 requirements 743 3. It causes malloc performance to be more dependent on host 744 system memory management support routines which may vary in 745 implementation quality and may impose arbitrary 746 limitations. Generally, servicing a request via normal 747 malloc steps is faster than going through a system's mmap. 748 749 All together, these considerations should lead you to use mmap 750 only for relatively large requests. 751 752 753 */ 754 755 756 #ifndef DEFAULT_MMAP_MAX 757 #ifdef HAVE_MMAP 758 #define DEFAULT_MMAP_MAX (64) 759 #else 760 #define DEFAULT_MMAP_MAX (0) 761 #endif 762 #endif 763 764 /* 765 M_MMAP_MAX is the maximum number of requests to simultaneously 766 service using mmap.
