Header files are now self-contained, which makes the relationships
between the files clearer, and crucially allows LSP tools like `clangd`
to function correctly in all of our header files. I have verified that
the headers are self-contained (aside from the various Windows shims) by
compiling them as if they were C files – in a follow-up commit I plan to
add this to CI to ensure we don't regress on this front.
Previously, small allocations which were sampled as part of heap
profiling were rounded up to `SC_LARGE_MINCLASS`. This additional memory
usage becomes problematic when the page size is increased, as noted in #2358.
Small allocations are now rounded up to the nearest multiple of `PAGE`
instead, reducing the memory overhead by a factor of 4 in the most
extreme cases.
The global data is mostly only used at initialization, or for easy access to
values we could compute statically. Instead of consuming that space (and
risking TLB misses), we can just pass around a pointer to stack data during
bootstrapping.
The largest small class, smallest large class, and largest large class may all
be needed down fast paths; to avoid the risk of touching another cache line, we
can make them available as constants.
This class removes almost all the dependencies on size_classes.h, accessing the
data there only via the new module sc.h, which does not depend on any
configuration options.
In a subsequent commit, we'll remove the configure-time size class computations,
doing them at boot time, instead.
