The tracemalloc module uses a hashtable: pointer (void*) => trace. Some embedded devices use multiple address spaces. Each GPU also has its own address space. CUDA, OpenCL and OpenGL should also be seen as different address spaces.

In the issue #26530, it was proposed (required?) to support multiple addresses spaces to be able to use tracemalloc in numpy.

Attached patch enhances tracemalloc to use (pointer: void*, domain: unsigned int) as key in the hashtable. A (pointer, domain) key is stored in a hashtable entry.

In the patch, the domain is hardcoded to 0, but the issue #26530 will add new C functions to track/untrack memory blocks, and this new functions will have a domain parameter.

The patch changes how a key is passed to the hashtable API: pass a *pointer* to a key rather than directly the key value. Because of that, the patch is quite long.

The patch also removes the unused function _Py_hashtable_hash_int().

_Py_HASHTABLE_ENTRY_DATA() macro now requires the hashtable to get the key size, since the offset of data now depends on the key size.

Only proposed :-) Numpy itself only works on the CPU, however Nathaniel
may have other use cases of his own. Also, Numba allows use of the Numpy
API (part thereof, anyway) on GPUs.

Patch version 2:

- modify _tracemalloc._get_traces() to include domain in traces
- add tracemalloc.DomainFilter(domain)
- add domain optional parameter to tracemalloc.Filter constructor

Currently, Snapshot._group_by() ignores domain information. I don't know how the domain should be exposed, *if* it should be exposed.

By the way, maybe we don't need to export the domain at the Python level at all? (Don't expose it in _tracemalloc._get_traces()).

Do you mean that Numba requires supporting multiple address spaces to be able to use tracemalloc? Or that supporting multiple address spaces would also to *also* track GPU memory allocations?

A friend told me that CUDA, OpenGL and OpenCL can (should?) be seen as 3 different address spaces. These libraries don't expose directly addresses in the GPU address space, but may use handles.

Patch 3:

- avoid the memory overhead of storing domain if domains are not used
- add optional use_domain parameter to tracemalloc.start()
- by default, no change: use a C void* (pointer) as key for the trace hashtable
- if start() is called with use_domain=True, use (pointer: void*, domain: unsigned int) key for the trace hashtable

Crap. I pushed tracemalloc-3.patch by mistake. I just reverted my mistake.

At least, it helped to find first bugs using buildbots:

Updated patch taking Antoine's comments in account.

Instead of filling pointer_t padding with zeros, I changed the size of the key (key_size) in the hashtable to exclude padding.

> What about alignment issues on strict platforms? (SPARC?)

Which kind of alignment issue do you expect?

I added "__attribute__((packed))" to frame_t. I expected SIGBUS because of that (it's even documented in a comment ;-)), but I practice nobdy complained, not even our buildbots. Hum, it looks like we only have one SPARC buildbot and it's offline...

_Py_hashtable_get() uses memcpy() to copy the value, so this function should not have any alignment issue.

The new code uses pointer dereference, so alignment issues are more likely. How can I test it on Intel CPU?

Should I also use memcpy() to retrieve the key value?

What about compilers that don't support "__attribute__((packed))"? Instead you could use a compare func that compares struct fields...

Patch version 5:

* add hashtable_compare_pointer_t() which compares pointer_t fields (ptr and domain) rather using _Py_hashtable_compare_direct() which causes issues with padding
* hashtable_hash_pointer_t() now uses memcpy() to get the pointer_t value rather than a pointer dereference

Antoine:
> What about compilers that don't support "__attribute__((packed))"?

packed is a small and *optional* optimization on the memory footprint of _tracemalloc structure (reduce tracemalloc.get_tracemalloc_memory()).

Using packed can introduce memory alignment issue, but since tracemalloc uses memcpy(), it *should* be fine in practice. Again, since I don't have access to SPARC CPU, I don't know how to test.

> Instead you could use a compare func that compares struct fields...

Done.

Hum, the patch is really too hard to review. So I extract to the "key_size" part: hashtable_key_size.patch.

I added new macros to get the key, wrapper to memcpy() with an assert to check the key size in debug mode.

High-level questions:

- How do you anticipate the integers naming domains will be allocated? Is it like port numbers, and you'll maintain a registry somewhere ("domains 0-100 are reserved for the interpreter, pycuda has reserved 100-110, ...")?

- You have it configurable at run-time whether the domain gets included in the trace key, and if this is set to false (the default) then all the different domains just get collapsed together. How is some downstream user like pycuda expected to get sensible behavior out of this? Is the idea that pycuda should be guarding all trace/untrace calls with if (use_domain) { ... }, or...?

(I guess it could be sensible to support disabling domain stuff -- though if I were writing it I probably wouldn't bother just because it increases the number of configurations that need to be tested etc. -- but if you're doing this then IMO it should discard all trace/untrace calls that refer to non-default domains, i.e. domain=False shouldn't mean "discard domain information", it should mean "trace only the heap domain".)

- Is all this messing about with possibly-unaligned pointers etc. really easier than having one-hashtable-per-domain? You could easily get away with a linearly scanned array, even...

Hi,

> - How do you anticipate the integers naming domains will be allocated? Is it like port numbers, and you'll maintain a registry somewhere ("domains 0-100 are reserved for the interpreter, pycuda has reserved 100-110, ...")?

I simply have no idea at all :-) I guess that the best is to
collaborate. It's not like we plan to have 1000 different users of the
API. Today, I only know two users: you and Antoine :-D

unsigned int is large: at least 32 bits. I understood that we will
only need something like 10 or maybe 20 domains.

> - You have it configurable at run-time whether the domain gets included in the trace key, and if this is set to false (the default) then all the different domains just get collapsed together. How is some downstream user like pycuda expected to get sensible behavior out of this? Is the idea that pycuda should be guarding all trace/untrace calls with if (use_domain) { ... }, or...?

In my first implementation, support for domains was always enabled.
But I don't like that since it increases the memory footprint even if
you don't use domains, which is the case for *all* users today.

I added a flag, but I'm not happy with the API. For example, it's not
possible to set the flag using PYTHONTRACEMALLOC=nframe env var nor -X
tracemalloc[=nframe] command line option, whereas I'm a big fan of -X
tracemalloc=5 command line option.

Instead of having to enable the flag early and don't allow to change
the flag later, I should try to implement a dynamic flag: start
without domain, and convert the whole table to support domain as soon
as you start to trace at least one trace with domain != 0. I pushed
the first part of my patch (support key bigger than sizeof(void*)) to
be able to focus on the second part.

If fact, converting a table is no more complex than the regular
"rehash" operation when the table becomes too big. This operation is
part of the hashtable design.

> (I guess it could be sensible to support disabling domain stuff -- though if I were writing it I probably wouldn't bother just because it increases the number of configurations that need to be tested etc. -- but if you're doing this then IMO it should discard all trace/untrace calls that refer to non-default domains, i.e. domain=False shouldn't mean "discard domain information", it should mean "trace only the heap domain".)

The design of tracemalloc is more to collect everything, but filter
later. That's why I added an optional domain parameter to
tracemalloc.Filter an a new tracemalloc.DomainFilter filter.

> - Is all this messing about with possibly-unaligned pointers etc. really easier than having one-hashtable-per-domain? You could easily get away with a linearly scanned array, even...

Having one hash table per domain requires to allocate a new hashtable
when we start to use a domain, then decide when it's time to release
it. We also need a "registry" for all trace hashtables: a simple short
array, or maybe even another hashtable?

But I think that we disagree on how traces will used. It looks like
you only care of statistics *per domain*. IMHO it's worth to get the
*total* memory (ex: CPU+GPU memory) per filename or per line number.
But also give the ability to filter domains. For example, exclude CPU
to get statistics of all GPU domains, or get CPU+shmem statistics.

I know that technically, the storage doesn't matter much: we can still
get traces of all domains at once. I like the idea of having all
traces in the same structure, even I have to agree that the new C
macros to get a key are more ugly than the previous simple direct
"void* key" pointer.

Domains are quite strange. They are part of the key in the hashtable,
but _tracemalloc._get_traces() now returns them as part of the "value"
(with my patch) :-)

I hate working on huge patches, it's a pain to rebase them. I chose to push a first implementation to unblock the issue #26530 "tracemalloc: add C API to manually track/untrack memory allocations".

I'm interested by your feedback on the C API.

The C implementation can still be changed later.

For example, I chose to push a first implementation which *always* store domain_t in traces keys. Later, I will write a patch to switch from the compact key (Py_uintptr_t) to key using domain (pointer_t) dynamically.

I understand that tracemalloc_start() was called with the first time and that get_reentrant() returns 0 at tracemalloc_start() entry, whereas tracemalloc_init() is supposed to set the reentrant flag to 1.

Issue #26588: one more assertion

Failure on "x86 Ubuntu Shared 3.x" at revision af388201c9976aebc4a8a433c95bfc4a1abe014b.

I added an assertion in tracemalloc_init() to ensure that the reeentrant flag is set at the end of the function.

The reentrant flag was no more set at tracemalloc_start() entry for an unknown reason.

Oooookay, it looks like all issues have been fixed. The optimization for compact keys has been implemented. I didn't see any crash on buildbots recently, test_tracemalloc pass on all platforms.

Nathaniel asked how domains will be "allocated" or "registered", but I suggest to discuss that in the issue #26530.

I close this issue that was much more difficult to implement than I expected...
