mallopt - set memory allocation parameters
#include <malloc.h> int mallopt(int param, int value);
The mallopt() function adjusts parameters that control the behavior of the memory-allocation functions.
The param argument specifies the parameter to be modified, and value specifies the new value for that parameter. The following values can be specified for param:
M_ARENA_MAX This is the maximum number of arenas that can be created. The value of M_ARENA_TEST is not used when M_ARENA_MAX is defined. An arena represents a pool of memory that can be used by (and similar) calls to service allocation requests. Arenas are thread safe and therefore may have multiple concurrent memory requests. The trade-off is between the number of threads and the number of arenas. The more arenas you have, the lower the per-thread contention, but the higher the memory usage. This parameter has been available since glibc 2.10 via --enable-experimental-malloc, and since glibc 2.15 by default. In some versions of the allocator there was no limit on the number of created arenas (e.g., CentOS 5, RHEL 5). When employing newer glibc versions, applications may in some cases exhibit high contention when accessing arenas. In these cases, it may be beneficial to increase M_ARENA_MAX to match the number of threads. This is similar in behavior to strategies taken by tcmalloc and jemalloc (e.g., per-thread allocation pools). M_ARENA_TEST This is the limit, in number of arenas created, at which the system configuration will be examined to evaluate a hard limit on the number of created arenas. The computed limit is implementation-defined and is usually a multiple of the number of available CPUs. Once the limit is computed, the result is final and constrains the total number of arenas. See M_ARENA_MAX for the definition of an arena. This parameter has been available since glibc 2.10 via --enable-experimental-malloc, and since glibc 2.15 by default. M_CHECK_ACTION Setting this parameter controls how glibc responds when various kinds of programming errors are detected (e.g., freeing the same pointer twice). The 3 least significant bits (2, 1, and 0) of the value assigned to this parameter determine the glibc behavior, as follows: Bit 0 If this bit is set, then print a one-line message on stderr that provides details about the error. The message starts with the string "*** glibc detected ***", followed by the program name, the name of the memory-allocation function in which the error was detected, a brief description of the error, and the memory address where the error was detected. Bit 1 If this bit is set, then, after printing any error message specified by bit 0, the program is terminated by calling abort(3). In glibc versions since 2.4, if bit 0 is also set, then, between printing the error message and aborting, the program also prints a stack trace in the manner of backtrace(3), and prints the process's memory mapping in the style of /proc/[pid]/maps (see proc(5)). Bit 2 (since glibc 2.4) This bit has an effect only if bit 0 is also set. If this bit is set, then the one-line message describing the error is simplified to contain just the name of the function where the error was detected and the brief description of the error. The remaining bits in value are ignored. Combining the above details, the following numeric values are meaningful for M_CHECK_ACTION: 0 Ignore error conditions; continue execution (with undefined results). 1 Print a detailed error message and continue execution. 2 Abort the program. 3 Print detailed error message, stack trace, and memory mappings, and abort the program. 5 Print a simple error message and continue execution. 7 Print simple error message, stack trace, and memory mappings, and abort the program. Since glibc 2.3.4, the default value for the M_CHECK_ACTION parameter is 3. In glibc version 2.3.3 and earlier, the default value is 1. Using a nonzero M_CHECK_ACTION value can be useful because otherwise a crash may happen much later, and the true cause of the problem is then very hard to track down. M_MMAP_MAX This parameter specifies the maximum number of allocation requests that may be simultaneously serviced using mmap(2). This parameter exists because some systems have a limited number of internal tables for use by mmap(2), and using more than a few of them may degrade performance. The default value is 65,536, a value which has no special significance and which servers only as a safeguard. Setting this parameter to 0 disables the use of mmap(2) for servicing large allocation requests. M_MMAP_THRESHOLD For allocations greater than or equal to the limit specified (in bytes) by M_MMAP_THRESHOLD that can't be satisfied from the free list, the memory-allocation functions employ mmap(2) instead of increasing the program break using sbrk(2). Allocating memory using mmap(2) has the significant advantage that the allocated memory blocks can always be independently released back to the system. (By contrast, the heap can be trimmed only if memory is freed at the top end.) On the other hand, there are some disadvantages to the use of mmap(2): deallocated space is not placed on the free list for reuse by later allocations; memory may be wasted because mmap(2) allocations must be page-aligned; and the kernel must perform the expensive task of zeroing out memory allocated via mmap(2). Balancing these factors leads to a default setting of 128*1024 for the M_MMAP_THRESHOLD parameter. The lower limit for this parameter is 0. The upper limit is DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD_MAX: 512*1024 on 32-bit systems or 4*1024*1024*sizeof(long) on 64-bit systems. Note: Nowadays, glibc uses a dynamic mmap threshold by default. The initial value of the threshold is 128*1024, but when blocks larger than the current threshold and less than or equal to DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD_MAX are freed, the threshold is adjusted upward to the size of the freed block. When dynamic mmap thresholding is in effect, the threshold for trimming the heap is also dynamically adjusted to be twice the dynamic mmap threshold. Dynamic adjustment of the mmap threshold is disabled if any of the M_TRIM_THRESHOLD, M_TOP_PAD, M_MMAP_THRESHOLD, or M_MMAP_MAX parameters is set. M_MXFAST (since glibc 2.3) Set the upper limit for memory allocation requests that are satisfied using "fastbins". (The measurement unit for this parameter is bytes.) Fastbins are storage areas that hold deallocated blocks of memory of the same size without merging adjacent free blocks. Subsequent reallocation of blocks of the same size can be handled very quickly by allocating from the fastbin, although memory fragmentation and the overall memory footprint of the program can increase. The default value for this parameter is 64*sizeof(size_t)/4 (i.e., 64 on 32-bit architectures). The range for this parameter is 0 to 80*sizeof(size_t)/4. Setting M_MXFAST to 0 disables the use of fastbins. M_PERTURB (since glibc 2.4) If this parameter is set to a nonzero value, then bytes of allocated memory (other than allocations via calloc(3)) are initialized to the complement of the value in the least significant byte of value, and when allocated memory is released using free(3), the freed bytes are set to the least significant byte of value. This can be useful for detecting errors where programs incorrectly rely on allocated memory being initialized to zero, or reuse values in memory that has already been freed. M_TOP_PAD This parameter defines the amount of padding to employ when calling sbrk(2) to modify the program break. (The measurement unit for this parameter is bytes.) This parameter has an effect in the following circumstances: * When the program break is increased, then M_TOP_PAD bytes are added to the sbrk(2) request. * When the heap is trimmed as a consequence of calling free(3) (see the discussion of M_TRIM_THRESHOLD) this much free space is preserved at the top of the heap. In either case, the amount of padding is always rounded to a system page boundary. Modifying M_TOP_PAD is a trade-off between increasing the number of system calls (when the parameter is set low) and wasting unused memory at the top of the heap (when the parameter is set high). The default value for this parameter is 128*1024. M_TRIM_THRESHOLD When the amount of contiguous free memory at the top of the heap grows sufficiently large, free(3) employs sbrk(2) to release this memory back to the system. (This can be useful in programs that continue to execute for a long period after freeing a significant amount of memory.) The M_TRIM_THRESHOLD parameter specifies the minimum size (in bytes) that this block of memory must reach before sbrk(2) is used to trim the heap. The default value for this parameter is 128*1024. Setting M_TRIM_THRESHOLD to -1 disables trimming completely. Modifying M_TRIM_THRESHOLD is a trade-off between increasing the number of system calls (when the parameter is set low) and wasting unused memory at the top of the heap (when the parameter is set high).
EXAMPLE top
The program below demonstrates the use of M_CHECK_ACTION. If the program is supplied with an (integer) command-line argument, then that argument is used to set the M_CHECK_ACTION parameter. The program then allocates a block of memory, and frees it twice (an error). The following shell session shows what happens when we run this program under glibc, with the default value for M_CHECK_ACTION: $ ./a.out main(): returned from first free() call *** glibc detected *** ./a.out: double free or corruption (top): 0x09d30008 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6(+0x6c501)[0x523501] /lib/libc.so.6(+0x6dd70)[0x524d70] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x6d)[0x527e5d] ./a.out[0x80485db] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe7)[0x4cdce7] ./a.out[0x8048471] ======= Memory map: ======== 001e4000-001fe000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 1083555 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 001fe000-001ff000 r--p 00019000 08:06 1083555 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 [some lines omitted] b7814000-b7817000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 bff53000-bff74000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] Aborted (core dumped) The following runs show the results when employing other values for M_CHECK_ACTION: $ ./a.out 1 # Diagnose error and continue main(): returned from first free() call *** glibc detected *** ./a.out: double free or corruption (top): 0x09cbe008 *** main(): returned from second free() call $ ./a.out 2 # Abort without error message main(): returned from first free() call Aborted (core dumped) $ ./a.out 0 # Ignore error and continue main(): returned from first free() call main(): returned from second free() call The next run shows how to set the same parameter using the MALLOC_CHECK_ environment variable: $ MALLOC_CHECK_=1 ./a.out main(): returned from first free() call *** glibc detected *** ./a.out: free(): invalid pointer: 0x092c2008 *** main(): returned from second free() call
