// 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.
//	MCentral: a shared free list for a given size class.
//	MCache: a per-thread (in Go, per-P) 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 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.
//
// The small objects on the MCache and MCentral free lists
// may or may not be zeroed. They are zeroed if and only if
// the second word of the object is zero. A span in the
// page heap is zeroed unless s->needzero is set. When a span
// is allocated to break into small objects, it is zeroed if needed
// and s->needzero is set. There are two main benefits to delaying the
// zeroing this way:
//
//	1. stack frames allocated from the small object lists
//	   or the page heap can avoid zeroing altogether.
//	2. the cost of zeroing when reusing a small object is
//	   charged to the mutator, not the garbage collector.

//
// SysUnused notifies the operating system that the contents

// SysUsed notifies the operating system that the contents
// of the memory region are needed again.
//
// SysFree returns it unconditionally; this is only used if
// an out-of-memory error has been detected midway through
// an allocation. It is okay if SysFree is a no-op.
//
// SysReserve reserves address space without allocating memory.
// If the pointer passed to it is non-nil, the caller wants the
// reservation there, but SysReserve can still choose another
// location if that one is unavailable. On some systems and in some
// cases SysReserve will simply check that the address space is
// available and not actually reserve it. If SysReserve returns
// non-nil, it sets *reserved to true if the address space is
// reserved, false if it has merely been checked.
// NOTE: SysReserve returns OS-aligned memory, but the heap allocator
// may use larger alignment, so the caller must be careful to realign the
