40 * - the thread magazines. for each (aligned) chunk size, a magazine (a list)
41 * of recently freed and soon to be allocated chunks is maintained per thread.
42 * this way, most alloc/free requests can be quickly satisfied from per-thread
43 * free lists which only require one g_private_get() call to retrive the
45 * - the magazine cache. allocating and freeing chunks to/from threads only
46 * occours at magazine sizes from a global depot of magazines. the depot
47 * maintaines a 15 second working set of allocated magazines, so full
48 * magazines are not allocated and released too often.
49 * the chunk size dependent magazine sizes automatically adapt (within limits,
50 * see [3]) to lock contention to properly scale performance across a variety
52 * - the slab allocator. this allocator allocates slabs (blocks of memory) close
53 * to the system page size or multiples thereof which have to be page aligned.
54 * the blocks are divided into smaller chunks which are used to satisfy
55 * allocations from the upper layers. the space provided by the reminder of
56 * the chunk size division is used for cache colorization (random distribution
57 * of chunk addresses) to improve processor cache utilization. multiple slabs
58 * with the same chunk size are kept in a partially sorted ring to allow O(1)
59 * freeing and allocation of chunks (as long as the allocation of an entirely
60 * new slab can be avoided).
61 * - the page allocator. on most modern systems, posix_memalign(3) or
62 * memalign(3) should be available, so this is used to allocate blocks with
63 * system page size based alignments and sizes or multiples thereof.
64 * if no memalign variant is provided, valloc() is used instead and
65 * block sizes are limited to the system page size (no multiples thereof).
66 * as a fallback, on system without even valloc(), a malloc(3)-based page
67 * allocator with alloc-only behaviour is used.
70 * [1] some systems memalign(3) implementations may rely on boundary tagging for
71 * the handed out memory chunks. to avoid excessive page-wise fragmentation,
72 * we reserve 2 * sizeof (void*) per block size for the systems memalign(3),
73 * specified in NATIVE_MALLOC_PADDING.
74 * [2] using the slab allocator alone already provides for a fast and efficient
75 * allocator, it doesn't properly scale beyond single-threaded uses though.
76 * also, the slab allocator implements eager free(3)-ing, i.e. does not
77 * provide any form of caching or working set maintenance. so if used alone,
78 * it's vulnerable to trashing for sequences of balanced (alloc, free) pairs
79 * at certain thresholds.
80 * [3] magazine sizes are bound by an implementation specific minimum size and
81 * a chunk size specific maximum to limit magazine storage sizes to roughly
83 * [4] allocating ca. 8 chunks per block/page keeps a good balance between
84 * external and internal fragmentation (<= 12.5%) [Bonwick94]
