From 2561a5c79a0a919f0942352e5c9ad89564b6ccc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Scherbich Date: Sun, 17 May 2026 11:10:55 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat(profiling): incremental delta export for heap tracker Each export now emits only what changed since the previous snapshot (positive samples for new allocations, negative-value tombstones for freed ones), with a periodic full-snapshot resync every 10 snapshots to bound backend drift if a delta upload is dropped. Adds Sample::export_sample_negative to the dd_wrapper for emitting tombstones; libdatadog's ddog_prof_Profile_add2 accepts negative i64 values end-to-end. Live tracebacks under untrack are moved into a REMOVE event so they stay alive until the next export, then returned to the pool. ADD events hold raw pointers into allocs_m; lifetime is guaranteed by either allocs_m or a subsequent REMOVE in the same pending buffer. --- .../profiling/dd_wrapper/include/sample.hpp | 7 + .../profiling/dd_wrapper/src/sample.cpp | 14 + .../profiling/collector/_memalloc_heap.cpp | 116 +++++- tests/profiling/collector/test_memalloc.py | 367 +++++++++++++++--- 4 files changed, 453 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) diff --git a/ddtrace/internal/datadog/profiling/dd_wrapper/include/sample.hpp b/ddtrace/internal/datadog/profiling/dd_wrapper/include/sample.hpp index e0bf18adbdf..13d344bee06 100644 --- a/ddtrace/internal/datadog/profiling/dd_wrapper/include/sample.hpp +++ b/ddtrace/internal/datadog/profiling/dd_wrapper/include/sample.hpp @@ -183,6 +183,13 @@ class Sample // This is useful when the Sample object is embedded and will be destroyed later bool export_sample(); + // Flip the sign on the heap_space value so this sample is emitted as a + // tombstone (negative delta) by a subsequent export_sample() call.

On alloc-then-free hot loops (per the rapid_python_http_smoke_test handle_alloc_pressure workload) this dominated CPU and surfaced as a ~7% CPU regression with +111% Locked Time vs the full-snapshot baseline. Side map void* -> pending ADD index makes the untrack hot path O(1) for finding the matching ADD; when found, the ADD is flagged `collapsed` and skipped at export time, no REMOVE event is queued, and the traceback is returned to the pool immediately. Microbench Scenario D (balanced churn, 500 pairs / snapshot) drops from ~13.5 ms to ~39 us — ~340x faster than the no-collapse delta path and within ~4x of the full-snapshot baseline. Side map is cleared at the end of each export; retained-on-failure ADDs lose their collapse capability on the next snapshot (acceptable since retain is rare and the existing aggregation-to-zero fallback still works correctly without collapse). Cleared on fork alongside the rest of the delta state. Correctness is covered by the existing delta tests (churn-net-heap-is-zero, heavy-churn-stays-consistent, large-heap-overhead); they pass on this build because the wire-format contract is unchanged — collapse just skips emission of pairs the backend would aggregate to zero anyway. --- .../profiling/collector/_memalloc_heap.cpp | 62 +++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/ddtrace/profiling/collector/_memalloc_heap.cpp b/ddtrace/profiling/collector/_memalloc_heap.cpp index 03657d49054..2399c378680 100644 --- a/ddtrace/profiling/collector/_memalloc_heap.cpp +++ b/ddtrace/profiling/collector/_memalloc_heap.cpp @@ -150,6 +150,7 @@ class heap_tracker_t std::unique_ptr owner; // set for REMOVE, null for ADD Kind kind; bool tombstone_applied = false; // REMOVE only; true after heap_space is negated + bool collapsed = false; // ADD only; true when a matching REMOVE canceled this event uint8_t failed_attempts = 0; // export retries counter; events exceeding MAX are dropped }; @@ -205,6 +206,16 @@ class heap_tracker_t * option. */ static constexpr size_t PENDING_CHANGES_RESERVE = 4096; std::vector pending_changes; + + /* Pair-collapse side map: ptr -> index of its pending ADD event in + * pending_changes.
