Nick Piggin 95b35127f1 slob: rework freelist handling
Improve slob by turning the freelist into a list of pages using struct page
fields, then each page has a singly linked freelist of slob blocks via a
pointer in the struct page.

- The first benefit is that the slob freelists can be indexed by a smaller
  type (2 bytes, if the PAGE_SIZE is reasonable).

- Next is that freeing is much quicker because it does not have to traverse
  the entire freelist. Allocation can be slightly faster too, because we can
  skip almost-full freelist pages completely.

- Slob pages are then freed immediately when they become empty, rather than
  having a periodic timer try to free them. This gives efficiency and memory
  consumption improvement.

Then, we don't encode seperate size and next fields into each slob block,
rather we use the sign bit to distinguish between "size" or "next". Then
size 1 blocks contain a "next" offset, and others contain the "size" in
the first unit and "next" in the second unit.

- This allows minimum slob allocation alignment to go from 8 bytes to 2
  bytes on 32-bit and 12 bytes to 2 bytes on 64-bit. In practice, it is
  best to align them to word size, however some architectures (eg. cris)
  could gain space savings from turning off this extra alignment.

Then, make kmalloc use its own slob_block at the front of the allocation
in order to encode allocation size, rather than rely on not overwriting
slob's existing header block.

- This reduces kmalloc allocation overhead similarly to alignment reductions.

- Decouples kmalloc layer from the slob allocator.

Then, add a page flag specific to slob pages.

- This means kfree of a page aligned slob block doesn't have to traverse
  the bigblock list.

I would get benchmarks, but my test box's network doesn't come up with
slob before this patch. I think something is timing out. Anyway, things
are faster after the patch.

Code size goes up about 1K, however dynamic memory usage _should_ be
lower even on relatively small memory systems.

Future todo item is to restore the cyclic free list search, rather than
to always begin at the start.

/*
* SLOB Allocator: Simple List Of Blocks
*
* Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> 12/30/03
*
* How SLOB works:
*
* The core of SLOB is a traditional K&R style heap allocator, with
* support for returning aligned objects. The granularity of this
* allocator is 4 bytes on 32-bit and 8 bytes on 64-bit, though it
* could be as low as 2 if the compiler alignment requirements allow.
*
* The slob heap is a linked list of pages from __get_free_page, and
* within each page, there is a singly-linked list of free blocks (slob_t).
* The heap is grown on demand and allocation from the heap is currently
* first-fit.
*
* Above this is an implementation of kmalloc/kfree. Blocks returned
* from kmalloc are 4-byte aligned and prepended with a 4-byte header.
* If kmalloc is asked for objects of PAGE_SIZE or larger, it calls
* __get_free_pages directly so that it can return page-aligned blocks
* and keeps a linked list of such pages and their orders. These
* objects are detected in kfree() by their page alignment.
*
* SLAB is emulated on top of SLOB by simply calling constructors and
* destructors for every SLAB allocation. Objects are returned with the
* 4-byte alignment unless the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag is set, in which
* case the low-level allocator will fragment blocks to create the proper
* alignment. Again, objects of page-size or greater are allocated by
* calling __get_free_pages. As SLAB objects know their size, no separate
* size bookkeeping is necessary and there is essentially no allocation
* space overhead.
