Move small run metadata into the arena chunk header, with multiple expected benefits: - Lower run fragmentation due to reduced run sizes; runs are more likely to completely drain when there are fewer total regions. - Improved cache behavior. Prior to this change, run headers were always page-aligned, which put extra pressure on some CPU cache sets. The degree to which this was a problem was hardware dependent, but it likely hurt some even for the most advanced modern hardware. - Buffer overruns/underruns are less likely to corrupt allocator metadata. - Size classes between 4 KiB and 16 KiB become reasonable to support without any special handling, and the runs are small enough that dirty unused pages aren't a significant concern. |
