The only time sharing an rtree context saves across extent operations isn't a
no-op is when tsd is unavailable. But this happens only in situations like
thread death or initialization, and we don't care about shaving off every
possible cycle in such scenarios.
Eventually, we may fully break off the extent module; but not for some time. If
it's going to live on in a non-transitory state, it might as well have the nicer
name.
When deferred initialization was added, initializing required copying
sizeof(extent_hooks_t) bytes after a pointer chase. Today, it's just a single
pointer loaded from the base_t. In subsequent diffs, we'll get rid of even that.
Specifically, the extent_arena_[g|s]et functions and the address randomization.
These are the only things that tie the extent struct itself to the arena code.
W/o retain, split and merge are disallowed on Windows. Avoid doing first-fit
which needs splitting almost always. Instead, try exact fit only and bail out
early.
extent_register may only fail if the underlying extent and region got stolen /
coalesced before we lock. Avoid doing extent_leak (which purges the region)
since we don't really own the region.
This can only happen on Windows and with opt.retain disabled (which isn't the
default). The solution is suboptimal, however not a common case as retain is
the long term plan for all platforms anyway.
The VirtualAlloc and VirtualFree APIs are different because MEM_DECOMMIT cannot
be used across multiple VirtualAlloc regions. To properly support decommit,
only allow merge / split within the same region -- this is done by tracking the
"is_head" state of extents and not merging cross-region.
Add a new state is_head (only relevant for retain && !maps_coalesce), which is
true for the first extent in each VirtualAlloc region. Determine if two extents
can be merged based on the head state, and use serial numbers for sanity checks.
