`miri` is incorrectly built with jemalloc on some targets

[pitust]

I tried to run cargo miri run in (any) workspace on Asahi Linux (which has 16k page kernels)

I expected to see this happen: The program runs under miri similarly to how rustc works

Instead, this happened:

thread 'main' panicked at src/tools/miri/cargo-miri/src/phases.rs:103:9:

Foe context: jemalloc does not work on Linux with 16k pages, it hardcodes 4k: jemalloc/jemalloc#467
rustc works, so I suspect it's not being built with jemalloc on that target. Miris jenalloc logic is unconditional and not coupled to bootstrap jenalloc logic, which seems like the problem.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

That issue makes it sound like jemalloc should be able to work on this system (i.e., the hardcoding was removed?) if we (or maybe jemalloc-sys?) compiled it with e.g. a 64k "page" target? At least, that's my impression of the closing comment.

[Noratrieb]

Yes, we could compile jemalloc to make it work properly (and actually maybe that's what's already happening for rustc? unsure)

[marcan]

Yes, 64K page mode is universal. For some vague performance-related reasons, jemalloc refuse to default to that on ARM64 and instead use 4K mode, which does not work with any other page size. You have to set --with-lg-page=16 to compile in 64K page mode, and then that will work on all targets.
