// Memory allocator, based on tcmalloc.
// http://goog-perftools.sourceforge.net/doc/tcmalloc.html
// The main allocator works in runs of pages.
// Small allocation sizes (up to and including 32 kB) are
// rounded to one of about 100 size classes, each of which
// has its own free list of objects of exactly that size.
// Any free page of memory can be split into a set of objects
// of one size class, which are then managed using free list
// allocators.
//
// The allocator's data structures are:
//
// FixAlloc: a free-list allocator for fixed-size objects,
// used to manage storage used by the allocator.
// MHeap: the malloc heap, managed at page (4096-byte) granularity.
// MSpan: a run of pages managed by the MHeap.
// MHeapMap: a mapping from page IDs to MSpans.
// MHeapMapCache: a small cache of MHeapMap mapping page IDs
// to size classes for pages used for small objects.
// MCentral: a shared free list for a given size class.
// MCache: a per-thread (in Go, per-M) cache for small objects.
// MStats: allocation statistics.
//
// Allocating a small object proceeds up a hierarchy of caches:
//
// 1. Round the size up to one of the small size classes
// and look in the corresponding MCache free list.
// If the list is not empty, allocate an object from it.
// This can all be done without acquiring a lock.
//
// 2. If the MCache free list is empty, replenish it by
// taking a bunch of objects from the MCentral free list.
// Moving a bunch amortizes the cost of acquiring the MCentral lock.
//
// 3. If the MCentral free list is empty, replenish it by
// allocating a run of pages from the MHeap and then
// chopping that memory into a objects of the given size.
// Allocating many objects amortizes the cost of locking
// the heap.
//
// 4. If the MHeap is empty or has no page runs large enough,
// allocate a new group of pages (at least 1MB) from the
// operating system. Allocating a large run of pages
// amortizes the cost of talking to the operating system.
//
// Freeing a small object proceeds up the same hierarchy:
//
// 1. Look up the size class for the object and add it to
// the MCache free list.
//
// 2. If the MCache free list is too long or the MCache has
// too much memory, return some to the MCentral free lists.
//
// 3. If all the objects in a given span have returned to
// the MCentral list, return that span to the page heap.
//
// 4. If the heap has too much memory, return some to the
// operating system.
//
// TODO(rsc): Step 4 is not implemented.
//
// Allocating and freeing a large object uses the page heap
// directly, bypassing the MCache and MCentral free lists.
//
// This C code was written with an eye toward translating to Go
// in the future. Methods have the form Type_Method(Type *t, ...).
