## Riepilogo dell'Ordine di Allocazione <a href="#libc_malloc" id="libc_malloc"></a>

(Nessun controllo è spiegato in questo riepilogo e alcuni casi sono stati omessi per brevità)

1. `__libc_malloc` cerca di ottenere un chunk dal tcache, se non riesce chiama `_int_malloc`
2. `_int_malloc` :
1. Cerca di generare l'arena se non ce n'è una
2. Se c'è un chunk di fast bin della dimensione corretta, usalo
1. Riempire il tcache con altri chunk veloci
3. Se c'è un chunk di small bin della dimensione corretta, usalo
1. Riempire il tcache con altri chunk di quella dimensione
4. Se la dimensione richiesta non è per small bins, consolidare il fast bin in unsorted bin
5. Controlla l'unsorted bin, usa il primo chunk con spazio sufficiente
1. Se il chunk trovato è più grande, dividilo per restituire una parte e aggiungere il resto all'unsorted bin
2. Se un chunk è della stessa dimensione di quella richiesta, usalo per riempire il tcache invece di restituirlo (fino a quando il tcache è pieno, poi restituisci il successivo)
3. Per ogni chunk di dimensione più piccola controllato, mettilo nel suo rispettivo small o large bin
6. Controlla il large bin nell'indice della dimensione richiesta
1. Inizia a cercare dal primo chunk che è più grande della dimensione richiesta, se ne trovi uno restituiscilo e aggiungi i resti al small bin
7. Controlla i large bins dagli indici successivi fino alla fine
1. Dal prossimo indice più grande controlla per qualsiasi chunk, dividi il primo chunk trovato per usarlo per la dimensione richiesta e aggiungi il resto all'unsorted bin
8. Se non viene trovato nulla nei bins precedenti, prendi un chunk dal top chunk
9. Se il top chunk non era abbastanza grande, ingrandiscilo con `sysmalloc`

## \_\_libc_malloc <a href="#libc_malloc" id="libc_malloc"></a>

La funzione `malloc` chiama effettivamente `__libc_malloc`. Questa funzione controllerà il tcache per vedere se c'è un chunk disponibile della dimensione desiderata. Se c'è, lo utilizzerà e se non c'è controllerà se è un singolo thread e in tal caso chiamerà `_int_malloc` nell'arena principale, e se non lo è chiamerà `_int_malloc` nell'arena del thread.

a chunk; this may include data from the subsequent chunk's header
if tagging is sufficiently fine grained.  Returns PTR suitably
recolored for accessing the memory there.

Questa è la funzione che alloca memoria utilizzando gli altri bin e il top chunk.

### Arena

Nel caso improbabile in cui non ci siano arene utilizzabili, utilizza `sysmalloc` per ottenere un chunk da `mmap`:

if (__glibc_unlikely (av == NULL))
{
void *p = sysmalloc (nb, av);
if (p != NULL)
alloc_perturb (p, bytes);
return p;
}
```
</details>

### Fast Bin

Se la dimensione necessaria è all'interno delle dimensioni dei Fast Bins, prova a utilizzare un chunk dal fast bin. Fondamentalmente, in base alla dimensione, troverà l'indice del fast bin dove dovrebbero trovarsi i chunk validi e, se presenti, restituirà uno di essi.\
Inoltre, se tcache è abilitato, **riempirà il tcache bin di quella dimensione con i fast bins**.

Durante l'esecuzione di queste azioni, vengono eseguiti alcuni controlli di sicurezza:

- Se il chunk è disallineato: `malloc(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected 2`
- Se il chunk successivo è disallineato: `malloc(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected`
- Se il chunk restituito ha una dimensione che non è corretta a causa del suo indice nel fast bin: `malloc(): memory corruption (fast)`
- Se un chunk utilizzato per riempire il tcache è disallineato: `malloc(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected 3`

### Small Bin

Come indicato in un commento, i piccoli bin contengono una dimensione per indice, quindi controllare se un chunk valido è disponibile è molto veloce, quindi dopo i fast bin, si controllano i piccoli bin.

Il primo controllo è per scoprire se la dimensione richiesta potrebbe trovarsi all'interno di un piccolo bin. In tal caso, ottenere il **indice** corrispondente all'interno del smallbin e vedere se c'è **qualche chunk disponibile**.

Poi, viene eseguito un controllo di sicurezza verificando:

- se `victim->bk->fd = victim`. Per vedere che entrambi i chunk siano correttamente collegati.

In tal caso, il chunk **ottiene il bit `inuse`,** la lista doppiamente collegata viene sistemata in modo che questo chunk scompaia da essa (poiché verrà utilizzato), e il bit non principale dell'arena viene impostato se necessario.

Infine, **riempi l'indice tcache della dimensione richiesta** con altri chunk all'interno del piccolo bin (se presenti).

### malloc_consolidate

Se non era un piccolo chunk, è un grande chunk, e in questo caso **`malloc_consolidate`** viene chiamato per evitare la frammentazione della memoria.

<details>

<summary>chiamata a malloc_consolidate</summary>
```c
/*
If this is a large request, consolidate fastbins before continuing.
While it might look excessive to kill all fastbins before
even seeing if there is space available, this avoids
fragmentation problems normally associated with fastbins.
Also, in practice, programs tend to have runs of either small or
large requests, but less often mixtures, so consolidation is not
invoked all that often in most programs. And the programs that
it is called frequently in otherwise tend to fragment.
*/

else
{
idx = largebin_index (nb);
if (atomic_load_relaxed (&av->have_fastchunks))
malloc_consolidate (av);
}

```
</details>

La funzione malloc consolidate rimuove fondamentalmente i chunk dal fast bin e li colloca nell'unsorted bin. Dopo il prossimo malloc, questi chunk saranno organizzati nei rispettivi small/fast bins.

Nota che se durante la rimozione di questi chunk, vengono trovati chunk precedenti o successivi che non sono in uso, saranno **unlinked e uniti** prima di collocare il chunk finale nell'**unsorted** bin.

Per ogni chunk del fast bin vengono eseguiti un paio di controlli di sicurezza:

- Se il chunk è disallineato attiva: `malloc_consolidate(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected`
- Se il chunk ha una dimensione diversa da quella che dovrebbe avere a causa dell'indice in cui si trova: `malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size`
- Se il chunk precedente non è in uso e il chunk precedente ha una dimensione diversa da quella indicata da `prev_chunk`: `corrupted size vs. prev_size in fastbins`

### Unsorted bin

È tempo di controllare l'unsorted bin per un potenziale chunk valido da utilizzare.

#### Start

Questo inizia con un grande ciclo for che attraverserà l'unsorted bin nella direzione `bk` fino ad arrivare alla fine (la struttura arena) con `while ((victim = unsorted_chunks (av)->bk) != unsorted_chunks (av))`

Inoltre, vengono eseguiti alcuni controlli di sicurezza ogni volta che un nuovo chunk viene considerato:

- Se la dimensione del chunk è strana (troppo piccola o troppo grande): `malloc(): invalid size (unsorted)`
- Se la dimensione del chunk successivo è strana (troppo piccola o troppo grande): `malloc(): invalid next size (unsorted)`
- Se la dimensione precedente indicata dal chunk successivo differisce dalla dimensione del chunk: `malloc(): mismatching next->prev_size (unsorted)`
- Se non `victim->bck->fd == victim` o non `victim->fd == av` (arena): `malloc(): unsorted double linked list corrupted`
- Poiché stiamo sempre controllando l'ultimo, il suo `fd` dovrebbe sempre puntare alla struttura arena.
- Se il chunk successivo non indica che il precedente è in uso: `malloc(): invalid next->prev_inuse (unsorted)`

<details>

<summary><code>_int_malloc</code> unsorted bin start</summary>

it is exact fit, or, if this a small request, the chunk is remainder from

chunks are placed in bins.

The outer loop here is needed because we might not realize until
near the end of malloc that we should have consolidated, so must
do so and retry. This happens at most once, and only when we would
otherwise need to expand memory to service a "small" request.

#### posizionare il chunk in un bin

#### Limiti di `_int_malloc`

A questo punto, se un chunk è stato memorizzato nel tcache che può essere utilizzato e il limite è stato raggiunto, basta **restituire un chunk dal tcache**.

Inoltre, se è stato raggiunto **MAX_ITERS**, esci dal ciclo e ottieni un chunk in un modo diverso (top chunk).

Se `return_cached` è stato impostato, restituisci semplicemente un chunk dal tcache per evitare ricerche più ampie.

### Large Bin (per indice)

Se la richiesta è grande (non nella small bin) e non abbiamo ancora restituito alcun chunk, ottieni l'**indice** della dimensione richiesta nella **large bin**, controlla se **non è vuota** o se il **chunk più grande in questa bin è più grande** della dimensione richiesta e in tal caso trova il **chunk più piccolo che può essere utilizzato** per la dimensione richiesta.

Se lo spazio rimanente dal chunk utilizzato può essere un nuovo chunk, aggiungilo alla unsorted bin e l'lsast_reminder viene aggiornato.

Viene effettuato un controllo di sicurezza quando si aggiunge il resto alla unsorted bin:

- `bck->fd-> bk != bck`: `malloc(): corrupted unsorted chunks`

### Top Chunk

A questo punto, è il momento di ottenere un nuovo chunk dal Top chunk (se abbastanza grande).

Inizia con un controllo di sicurezza per assicurarsi che la dimensione del chunk non sia troppo grande (corrotto):

- `chunksize(av->top) > av->system_mem`: `malloc(): corrupted top size`

Poi, utilizzerà lo spazio del top chunk se è abbastanza grande per creare un chunk della dimensione richiesta.\
Se non lo è, se ci sono fast chunks, consolidali e riprova.\
Infine, se non c'è spazio sufficiente, usa `sysmalloc` per allocare una dimensione adeguata.

<details>

<summary><code>_int_malloc</code> Top chunk</summary>
```c
use_top:
/*
If large enough, split off the chunk bordering the end of memory
(held in av->top). Note that this is in accord with the best-fit
search rule.  In effect, av->top is treated as larger (and thus
less well fitting) than any other available chunk since it can
be extended to be as large as necessary (up to system
limitations).

We require that av->top always exists (i.e., has size >=
MINSIZE) after initialization, so if it would otherwise be
exhausted by current request, it is replenished. (The main
reason for ensuring it exists is that we may need MINSIZE space
to put in fenceposts in sysmalloc.)

### sysmalloc controlli

Inizia ottenendo informazioni sul vecchio chunk top e controllando che alcune delle seguenti condizioni siano vere:

- La dimensione del vecchio heap è 0 (nuovo heap)
- La dimensione del precedente heap è maggiore di MINSIZE e il vecchio Top è in uso
- L'heap è allineato alla dimensione della pagina (0x1000 quindi i 12 bit inferiori devono essere 0)

Poi controlla anche che:

- La vecchia dimensione non ha spazio sufficiente per creare un chunk per la dimensione richiesta
