* Allocation strategy abstract:
*
* For small requests, the allocator sub-allocates <Big> blocks of memory.
* Requests greater than SMALL_REQUEST_THRESHOLD bytes are routed to the
* system's allocator.
*
* Small requests are grouped in size classes spaced 8 bytes apart, due
* to the required valid alignment of the returned address. Requests of
* a particular size are serviced from memory pools of 4K (one VMM page).
* Pools are fragmented on demand and contain free lists of blocks of one
* particular size class. In other words, there is a fixed-size allocator
* for each size class. Free pools are shared by the different allocators
* thus minimizing the space reserved for a particular size class.
*
* This allocation strategy is a variant of what is known as "simple
* segregated storage based on array of free lists". The main drawback of
* simple segregated storage is that we might end up with lot of reserved
* memory for the different free lists, which degenerate in time. To avoid
* this, we partition each free list in pools and we share dynamically the
* reserved space between all free lists. This technique is quite efficient
* for memory intensive programs which allocate mainly small-sized blocks.
*
* For small requests we have the following table:
*
* Request in bytes Size of allocated block Size class idx
* ----------------------------------------------------------------
* 1-8 8 0
* 9-16 16 1
* 17-24 24 2

* Pool table -- headed, circular, doubly-linked lists of partially used pools.
This is involved. For an index i, usedpools[i+i] is the header for a list of
all partially used pools holding small blocks with "size class idx" i. So
usedpools[0] corresponds to blocks of size 8, usedpools[2] to blocks of size
16, and so on: index 2*i <-> blocks of size (i+1)<<ALIGNMENT_SHIFT.
Pools are carved off an arena's highwater mark (an arena_object's pool_address
member) as needed. Once carved off, a pool is in one of three states forever
after:
used == partially used, neither empty nor full
At least one block in the pool is currently allocated, and at least one
block in the pool is not currently allocated (note this implies a pool
has room for at least two blocks).
This is a pool's initial state, as a pool is created only when malloc
needs space.
The pool holds blocks of a fixed size, and is in the circular list headed
at usedpools[i] (see above). It's linked to the other used pools of the
same size class via the pool_header's nextpool and prevpool members.
If all but one block is currently allocated, a malloc can cause a
transition to the full state. If all but one block is not currently
allocated, a free can cause a transition to the empty state.
full == all the pool's blocks are currently allocated
On transition to full, a pool is unlinked from its usedpools[] list.
It's not linked to from anything then anymore, and its nextpool and
prevpool members are meaningless until it transitions back to used.
A free of a block in a full pool puts the pool back in the used state.
Then it's linked in at the front of the appropriate usedpools[] list, so
that the next allocation for its size class will reuse the freed block.
empty == all the pool's blocks are currently available for allocation
On transition to empty, a pool is unlinked from its usedpools[] list,
and linked to the front of its arena_object's singly-linked freepools list,
via its nextpool member. The prevpool member has no meaning in this case.
Empty pools have no inherent size class: the next time a malloc finds
an empty list in usedpools[], it takes the first pool off of freepools.
If the size class needed happens to be the same as the size class the pool
last had, some pool initialization can be skipped.
Block Management
Blocks within pools are again carved out as needed. pool->freeblock points to
the start of a singly-linked list of free blocks within the pool. When a
block is freed, it's inserted at the front of its pool's freeblock list. Note
that the available blocks in a pool are *not* linked all together when a pool
is initialized. Instead only "the first two" (lowest addresses) blocks are
set up, returning the first such block, and setting pool->freeblock to a
one-block list holding the second such block. This is consistent with that
pymalloc strives at all levels (arena, pool, and block) never to touch a piece
of memory until it's actually needed.
So long as a pool is in the used state, we're certain there *is* a block
available for allocating, and pool->freeblock is not NULL. If pool->freeblock
points to the end of the free list before we've carved the entire pool into
blocks, that means we simply haven't yet gotten to one of the higher-address
blocks. The offset from the pool_header to the start of "the next" virgin
block is stored in the pool_header nextoffset member, and the largest value
of nextoffset that makes sense is stored in the maxnextoffset member when a
pool is initialized. All the blocks in a pool have been passed out at least
once when and only when nextoffset > maxnextoffset.
Major obscurity: While the usedpools vector is declared to have poolp
entries, it doesn't really. It really contains two pointers per (conceptual)
poolp entry, the nextpool and prevpool members of a pool_header. The
excruciating initialization code below fools C so that
usedpool[i+i]
"acts like" a genuine poolp, but only so long as you only reference its
nextpool and prevpool members. The "- 2*sizeof(block *)" gibberish is
compensating for that a pool_header's nextpool and prevpool members
immediately follow a pool_header's first two members:
union { block *_padding;
uint count; } ref;
block *freeblock;
each of which consume sizeof(block *) bytes. So what usedpools[i+i] really
contains is a fudged-up pointer p such that *if* C believes it's a poolp
pointer, then p->nextpool and p->prevpool are both p (meaning that the headed
circular list is empty).
It's unclear why the usedpools setup is so convoluted. It could be to
minimize the amount of cache required to hold this heavily-referenced table
(which only *needs* the two interpool pointer members of a pool_header). OTOH,
referencing code has to remember to "double the index" and doing so isn't
free, usedpools[0] isn't a strictly legal pointer, and we're crucially relying
on that C doesn't insert any padding anywhere in a pool_header at or before
the prevpool member.

Arena management.
`arenas` is a vector of arena_objects. It contains maxarenas entries, some of
which may not be currently used (== they're arena_objects that aren't
currently associated with an allocated arena). Note that arenas proper are
separately malloc'ed.
Prior to Python 2.5, arenas were never free()'ed. Starting with Python 2.5,
we do try to free() arenas, and use some mild heuristic strategies to increase
the likelihood that arenas eventually can be freed.
unused_arena_objects
This is a singly-linked list of the arena_objects that are currently not
being used (no arena is associated with them). Objects are taken off the
head of the list in new_arena(), and are pushed on the head of the list in
PyObject_Free() when the arena is empty. Key invariant: an arena_object
is on this list if and only if its .address member is 0.
usable_arenas
This is a doubly-linked list of the arena_objects associated with arenas
that have pools available. These pools are either waiting to be reused,
or have not been used before. The list is sorted to have the most-
allocated arenas first (ascending order based on the nfreepools member).
This means that the next allocation will come from a heavily used arena,
which gives the nearly empty arenas a chance to be returned to the system.
In my unscientific tests this dramatically improved the number of arenas
that could be freed.
Note that an arena_object associated with an arena all of whose pools are
currently in use isn't on either list.
