// Memory allocator.
//
// This was originally based on tcmalloc, but has diverged quite a bit.
// 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 70 size classes, each of which
// has its own free set 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 a free bitmap.
//
// The allocator's data structures are:
//
// fixalloc: a free-list allocator for fixed-size off-heap objects,
// used to manage storage used by the allocator.
// mheap: the malloc heap, managed at page (8192-byte) granularity.
// mspan: a run of in-use pages managed by the mheap.
// mcentral: collects all spans of a given size class.
// mcache: a per-P cache of mspans with free space.
// 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 mspan in this P's mcache.
// Scan the mspan's free bitmap to find a free slot.
// If there is a free slot, allocate it.
// This can all be done without acquiring a lock.
//
// 2. If the mspan has no free slots, obtain a new mspan
// from the mcentral's list of mspans of the required size
// class that have free space.
// Obtaining a whole span amortizes the cost of locking
// the mcentral.
//
// 3. If the mcentral's mspan list is empty, obtain a run
// of pages from the mheap to use for the mspan.
//
// 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.
//
// Sweeping an mspan and freeing objects on it proceeds up a similar
// hierarchy:
//
// 1. If the mspan is being swept in response to allocation, it
// is returned to the mcache to satisfy the allocation.
//
// 2. Otherwise, if the mspan still has allocated objects in it,
// it is placed on the mcentral free list for the mspan's size
// class.
//
// 3. Otherwise, if all objects in the mspan are free, the mspan's
// pages are returned to the mheap and the mspan is now dead.
//
// Allocating and freeing a large object uses the mheap
// directly, bypassing the mcache and mcentral.
//
// If mspan.needzero is false, then free object slots in the mspan are
// already zeroed. Otherwise if needzero is true, objects are zeroed as
// they are allocated. There are various benefits to delaying zeroing
// this way:
//
// 1. Stack frame allocation can avoid zeroing altogether.
//
// 2. It exhibits better temporal locality, since the program is
// probably about to write to the memory.
//
// 3. We don't zero pages that never get reused.
// Virtual memory layout
//
// The heap consists of a set of arenas, which are 64MB on 64-bit and
// 4MB on 32-bit (heapArenaBytes). Each arena's start address is also
// aligned to the arena size.
//
// Each arena has an associated heapArena object that stores the
// metadata for that arena: the heap bitmap for all words in the arena
// and the span map for all pages in the arena. heapArena objects are
// themselves allocated off-heap.
//
// Since arenas are aligned, the address space can be viewed as a
// series of arena frames. The arena map (mheap_.arenas) maps from
// arena frame number to *heapArena, or nil for parts of the address
// space not backed by the Go heap. The arena map is structured as a
// two-level array consisting of a "L1" arena map and many "L2" arena
// maps; however, since arenas are large, on many architectures, the
// arena map consists of a single, large L2 map.
//
// The arena map covers the entire possible address space, allowing
// the Go heap to use any part of the address space. The allocator
// attempts to keep arenas contiguous so that large spans (and hence
// large objects) can cross arenas.

//
// On most 64-bit platforms, we limit this to 48 bits based on a
// combination of hardware and OS limitations.
//
// amd64 hardware limits addresses to 48 bits, sign-extended
// to 64 bits. Addresses where the top 16 bits are not either
// all 0 or all 1 are "non-canonical" and invalid. Because of
// these "negative" addresses, we offset addresses by 1<<47
// (arenaBaseOffset) on amd64 before computing indexes into
// the heap arenas index. In 2017, amd64 hardware added
// support for 57 bit addresses; however, currently only Linux
// supports this extension and the kernel will never choose an
// address above 1<<47 unless mmap is called with a hint
// address above 1<<47 (which we never do).
//
// arm64 hardware (as of ARMv8) limits user addresses to 48
// bits, in the range [0, 1<<48).
//
// ppc64, mips64, and s390x support arbitrary 64 bit addresses
// in hardware. On Linux, Go leans on stricter OS limits. Based
// on Linux's processor.h, the user address space is limited as
// follows on 64-bit architectures:
//
// Architecture Name Maximum Value (exclusive)
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------
// amd64 TASK_SIZE_MAX 0x007ffffffff000 (47 bit addresses)
// arm64 TASK_SIZE_64 0x01000000000000 (48 bit addresses)
// ppc64{,le} TASK_SIZE_USER64 0x00400000000000 (46 bit addresses)
// mips64{,le} TASK_SIZE64 0x00010000000000 (40 bit addresses)
// s390x TASK_SIZE 1<<64 (64 bit addresses)
//
// These limits may increase over time, but are currently at
// most 48 bits except on s390x. On all architectures, Linux
// starts placing mmap'd regions at addresses that are
// significantly below 48 bits, so even if it's possible to
// exceed Go's 48 bit limit, it's extremely unlikely in
// practice.
//
// On 32-bit platforms, we accept the full 32-bit address
// space because doing so is cheap.
// mips32 only has access to the low 2GB of virtual memory, so
// we further limit it to 31 bits.
//
// On ios/arm64, although 64-bit pointers are presumably
// available, pointers are truncated to 33 bits. Furthermore,
// only the top 4 GiB of the address space are actually available
// to the application, but we allow the whole 33 bits anyway for
// simplicity.

// arenaBaseOffset to offset into the top 4 GiB.

// Regions of the address space managed by the runtime may be in one of four
// states at any given time:
// 1) None - Unreserved and unmapped, the default state of any region.
// 2) Reserved - Owned by the runtime, but accessing it would cause a fault.
// Does not count against the process' memory footprint.
// 3) Prepared - Reserved, intended not to be backed by physical memory (though
// an OS may implement this lazily). Can transition efficiently to
// Ready. Accessing memory in such a region is undefined (may
// fault, may give back unexpected zeroes, etc.).
// 4) Ready - may be accessed safely.
//
// This set of states is more than is strictly necessary to support all the
// currently supported platforms. One could get by with just None, Reserved, and
// Ready. However, the Prepared state gives us flexibility for performance
// purposes. For example, on POSIX-y operating systems, Reserved is usually a
// private anonymous mmap'd region with PROT_NONE set, and to transition
// to Ready would require setting PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE. However the
// underspecification of Prepared lets us use just MADV_FREE to transition from
// Ready to Prepared. Thus with the Prepared state we can set the permission
// bits just once early on, we can efficiently tell the OS that it's free to
// take pages away from us when we don't strictly need them.
//
// For each OS there is a common set of helpers defined that transition
// memory regions between these states. The helpers are as follows:
//
// sysAlloc transitions an OS-chosen region of memory from None to Ready.
// More specifically, it obtains a large chunk of zeroed memory from the
// operating system, typically on the order of a hundred kilobytes
// or a megabyte. This memory is always immediately available for use.
//
// sysFree transitions a memory region from any state to None. Therefore, it
// returns memory unconditionally. It is used if an out-of-memory error has been
// detected midway through an allocation or to carve out an aligned section of
// the address space. It is okay if sysFree is a no-op only if sysReserve always
// returns a memory region aligned to the heap allocator's alignment
// restrictions.
//
// sysReserve transitions a memory region from None to Reserved. It reserves
// address space in such a way that it would cause a fatal fault upon access
// (either via permissions or not committing the memory). Such a reservation is
// thus never backed by physical 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.
// NOTE: sysReserve returns OS-aligned memory, but the heap allocator
// may use larger alignment, so the caller must be careful to realign the
// memory obtained by sysReserve.
//
// sysMap transitions a memory region from Reserved to Prepared. It ensures the
// memory region can be efficiently transitioned to Ready.
//
// sysUsed transitions a memory region from Prepared to Ready. It notifies the
// operating system that the memory region is needed and ensures that the region
// may be safely accessed. This is typically a no-op on systems that don't have
// an explicit commit step and hard over-commit limits, but is critical on
// Windows, for example.
//
// sysUnused transitions a memory region from Ready to Prepared. It notifies the
// operating system that the physical pages backing this memory region are no
// longer needed and can be reused for other purposes. The contents of a
// sysUnused memory region are considered forfeit and the region must not be
// accessed again until sysUsed is called.
//
// sysFault transitions a memory region from Ready or Prepared to Reserved. It
// marks a region such that it will always fault if accessed. Used only for
// debugging the runtime.
