Test application

I am attaching a nice little application which can be used to reproduce and
analyze this issue, without requiring an OpenGL capable machine (so it can be
used in virtual machines).

What it does is allocate memory via either Unix malloc() or Unix mmap(). The
nice thing is that you can compile it as a Winelib application, but also as a
native application, including as a native application loaded at a specific
address (all the instructions are in the C file). So you can use it to compare
the situation in Wine with the one in native applications. For instance to
allocate 500 chunks of 10MB, call it as follows:

   ./memtest malloc 10 500
or ./memtest mmap 10 500
or wine ./memtest.exe.so malloc 10 500
or wine ./memtest.exe.so mmap 10 500

Of course you won't be able to allocate 5GB of memory, the allocations will
start failing before that (don't worry it won't bring down your machine, we
have overcommit to thank for that). But what's interesting is that you'll get
the addresses of all the successful allocations, the total amount of memory
allocated, and a pause at the end of the application so you can inspect the
memory map (via winedbg or /proc).

Here are some results:
 * Native on Linux
   Allocations start around 0xb74e8000 and go down to x00300000, then to
0xb805f000 and up to 0xbee5f000 for a total of around 3000MB allocated. The
application load address has no impact.

 * Winelib on Linux
   Allocations start at 0x7e053000 and go down to 0x60700000 so that only 480MB
can be allocated. Everything below that is reserved.

 * Native on FreeBSD 7.0
   Allocations start after the main executable and go up. So by default they
start around 0x28300000 and go up to 0xbed00000 for a total of around 2400MB
allocated. But if the executable is loaded at a higher address, such as Wine's
default 0x7bf00400, then allocations start at 0x9c200000 and end at 0xbe800000
so that only 560MB can be allocated.

 * Winelib on FreeBSD 7.0
   Allocations start at 0x7e4dd000 and end at 0x7eedd000 so that only 20MB can
be allocated. That's obviously way too little.

It would be nice to retry this with the mmap patch, but unfortunately it does
not apply anymore.

Results of the test application for different plattforms (linux{32,32pae,64})

Attached is the result for the test application for different linux versions
(32Bit, 32Bit+pae, 64Bit, +wine).

The result is that wine shows on all tested linux platforms the same behaviour.
This proves my comment (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16456#c48) and
shows that this hasn't any influence on the tested platforms which wine is used
on.

Your test app doesn't trigger any call to mmap (with modified mmap patch). So
the result is identical to my previous test. Could anyone confirm that?

Test results with wglgears on wine on different linux versions (32Bit,
32Bit+pae, 64Bit, 64Bit+mem4g)

This test addresses the speed problem on several machines.

Attached is the test run of wglgears on wine on different linux kernels with a
nvidia graphics card. The result is that in every frame on a clean 64Bit system
there are 3 additional mmap/munmap calls which aren't there in any other run
(32bit,32bitpae,64bitmem4g).

Is there an ati user with a machine like this (x86_64, ati card, 4+GB ram) who
could run the test?

wglgears debug output on 64bit with original mmap and virtual mmap wrapper

I've done some further testing with the slowness on a nvidia gpu and >4gb ram
on 64bit. I've added some debug output to the patch. Also, I checked the test
on an ati x800 with fglrx on the same machine and there was no slowdown.

The file names have this meanings:
64bit - linux 64bit kernel
mem4g - kernel option mem=4g was used
orig - original mmap was taken
slow - the new mmap (virtual_mmap_wrapper) was taken

Result:
The logs 64bit_mmap_slow.log and 64bitmem4g_mmap_slow.log differ at line 178.
And there the nvidia driver couldn't get memory, which probably leads to a slow
rendering path. Also note that the run on 64bit with mem=4g option isn't slow!
Probably I should have given it another name ...

Test system: geforce 8800gts, nvidia driver 185.19, kernel
2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64

Forward port of proposed patch to 1.1.19

I've ported and hopefully fixed-up the patch from 1.1.15 (attachment 19905) for
1.1.19 (current HEAD).

Because wine_pthread_callbacks and related code went away, the code's shorter
but slightly ass. The main ass thing is that the mmap wrappers are now calling
wine_pthread_get_functions every time, because they need to get the changed
mmap redirections once ntdll's virtual.c has applied them, but there's no other
signalling system in place for libwine's code (which receives the changed mmap
redirections) to tell the loader to use them.

Moving the mmap wrappers to libwine would fix this, but then the mmap wrappers
don't override the libc functions as libwine is loaded after libc. It might be
possible to get around that by redirecting the loader mmap wrappers back into
libwine. I'm not sure that's a lot less ass, but it might be faster, and would
fix the slight chance that exit_thread calls the wrong munmap.

Anyway, on my 4gB x86_64 system with nVidia 8600M running driver 180.29, this
patch causes Warhammer Online to not crash due to an OUT_OF_MEMORY error from
OpenGL, and the test application attached here goes from allocating 480MB to
4040MB or 4050MB compiled as a Winelib application (mmap 10 500). For
comparison, native 32-bit build of the test app produces 4070MB, and 64-bit
build (printfs needed fixing, will attach modified source later) happily
allocations 5000MB (ie. everything asked for) in the mmap 10 500 test.

It's been pointed out to me on IRC that the patch doesn't fix the malloc case
in the test application, presumably because glibc's malloc doesn't call glibc's
mmap wrapper code directly, or at least not in a way we can intercept.

So if we need to fix malloc as well as mmap, then we need to redirect malloc to
HeapAlloc or something...


--- Comment #148 from Paul "TBBle" Hampson <Paul.Hampson at Pobox.com>  2009-04-12 22:32:58 ---
I've knocked up a quick malloc/calloc/free/realloc passthrough (that does't
redirect to HeapAlloc, just passes straight on to the RTLD_NEXT function) and
it seems to cause the test app to lock up.

However, redirecting malloc won't capture, for example, a library that uses C++
internally (as the C++ allocator is not required to use malloc internally)
anyway.

On examination, libc's internal malloc appears to be calling the mmap2 system
call.

Anyway, I think overriding malloc should be addressed with a separate patch,
since the mmap patch is sufficient to fix the GL memory exhaustion failures
this bug was submitted for, and libraries are likely to malloc much smaller
amounts of memory than they're willing to mmap...

A quick note, electric-fence or duma are examples of things that override
malloc.

Duma overrides:
void * malloc(size_t size)
void * calloc(size_t nelem, size_t elsize)
void   free(void * address)
void * memalign(size_t alignment, size_t size)
int    posix_memalign(void **memptr, size_t alignment, size_t size)
void * realloc(void * oldBuffer, size_t newSize)
void * valloc(size_t size)
char * strdup(const char * str)
void * memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t size)
char * strcpy(char *dest, const char *src)
char * strncpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size)
char * strcat(char *dest, const char *src)
char * strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size)


--- Comment #150 from Paul "TBBle" Hampson <Paul.Hampson at Pobox.com>  2009-04-13 11:34:42 ---
Just a quick note, I've confirmed from looking at the disassembly of both
32-bit and 64-bit libc6 on Debian/unstable (glibc 2.9) that malloc there calls
glibc's mmmap methods directly, not via the plt (compared to strdup calling
malloc via the plt for example, so it uses an overridden malloc)

So the original intent of the patch to fix malloc by replacing mmap isn't
portable, so if malloc needs fixing, malloc and friends need wrapping.

Forward port of proposed patch to 1.1.19

Slight update to mmap redirection patch, to only call
wine_pthread_get_functions when it is safe to do so, ie. we've finished our
dlsyming.
