/**
 * SECTION:memory_slices
 * @title: Memory Slices
 * @short_description: efficient way to allocate groups of equal-sized
 *     chunks of memory
 *
 * Memory slices provide a space-efficient and multi-processing scalable
 * way to allocate equal-sized pieces of memory, just like the original
 * #GMemChunks (from GLib 2.8), while avoiding their excessive
 * memory-waste, scalability and performance problems.
 *
 * To achieve these goals, the slice allocator uses a sophisticated,
 * layered design that has been inspired by Bonwick's slab allocator
 * ([Bonwick94](http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bonwick94slab.html)
 * Jeff Bonwick, The slab allocator: An object-caching kernel
 * memory allocator. USENIX 1994, and
 * [Bonwick01](http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bonwick01magazines.html)
 * Bonwick and Jonathan Adams, Magazines and vmem: Extending the
 * slab allocator to many cpu's and arbitrary resources. USENIX 2001)
 *
 * It uses posix_memalign() to optimize allocations of many equally-sized
 * chunks, and has per-thread free lists (the so-called magazine layer)
 * to quickly satisfy allocation requests of already known structure sizes.
 * This is accompanied by extra caching logic to keep freed memory around
 * for some time before returning it to the system. Memory that is unused
 * due to alignment constraints is used for cache colorization (random
 * distribution of chunk addresses) to improve CPU cache utilization. The
 * caching layer of the slice allocator adapts itself to high lock contention
 * to improve scalability.
 *
 * The slice allocator can allocate blocks as small as two pointers, and
 * unlike malloc(), it does not reserve extra space per block. For large block
 * sizes, g_slice_new() and g_slice_alloc() will automatically delegate to the
 * system malloc() implementation. For newly written code it is recommended
 * to use the new `g_slice` API instead of g_malloc() and
 * friends, as long as objects are not resized during their lifetime and the
 * object size used at allocation time is still available when freeing.
 *
 * Here is an example for using the slice allocator:
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * gchar *mem[10000];
 * gint i;
 *
 * // Allocate 10000 blocks.
 * for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
 *   {
 *     mem[i] = g_slice_alloc (50);
 *
 *     // Fill in the memory with some junk.
 *     for (j = 0; j < 50; j++)
 *       mem[i][j] = i * j;
 *   }
 *
 * // Now free all of the blocks.
 * for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
 *   g_slice_free1 (50, mem[i]);
 * ]|
 *
 * And here is an example for using the using the slice allocator
 * with data structures:
 * |[<!-- language="C" --> 
 * GRealArray *array;
 *
 * // Allocate one block, using the g_slice_new() macro.
 * array = g_slice_new (GRealArray);

 * // We can now use array just like a normal pointer to a structure.
 * array->data            = NULL;
 * array->len             = 0;
 * array->alloc           = 0;
 * array->zero_terminated = (zero_terminated ? 1 : 0);
 * array->clear           = (clear ? 1 : 0);
 * array->elt_size        = elt_size;
 *
 * // We can free the block, so it can be reused.
 * g_slice_free (GRealArray, array);
 * ]|
 */

/* the GSlice allocator is split up into 4 layers, roughly modelled after the slab
 * allocator and magazine extensions as outlined in:
 * + [Bonwick94] Jeff Bonwick, The slab allocator: An object-caching kernel
 *   memory allocator. USENIX 1994, http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bonwick94slab.html
 * + [Bonwick01] Bonwick and Jonathan Adams, Magazines and vmem: Extending the
 *   slab allocator to many cpu's and arbitrary resources.
 *   USENIX 2001, http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bonwick01magazines.html
 * the layers are:
 * - the thread magazines. for each (aligned) chunk size, a magazine (a list)
 *   of recently freed and soon to be allocated chunks is maintained per thread.
 *   this way, most alloc/free requests can be quickly satisfied from per-thread
 *   free lists which only require one g_private_get() call to retrive the
 *   thread handle.
 * - the magazine cache. allocating and freeing chunks to/from threads only
 *   occours at magazine sizes from a global depot of magazines. the depot
 *   maintaines a 15 second working set of allocated magazines, so full
 *   magazines are not allocated and released too often.
 *   the chunk size dependent magazine sizes automatically adapt (within limits,
 *   see [3]) to lock contention to properly scale performance across a variety
 *   of SMP systems.
 * - the slab allocator. this allocator allocates slabs (blocks of memory) close
 *   to the system page size or multiples thereof which have to be page aligned.
 *   the blocks are divided into smaller chunks which are used to satisfy
 *   allocations from the upper layers. the space provided by the reminder of
 *   the chunk size division is used for cache colorization (random distribution
 *   of chunk addresses) to improve processor cache utilization. multiple slabs
 *   with the same chunk size are kept in a partially sorted ring to allow O(1)
 *   freeing and allocation of chunks (as long as the allocation of an entirely
 *   new slab can be avoided).
 * - the page allocator. on most modern systems, posix_memalign(3) or
 *   memalign(3) should be available, so this is used to allocate blocks with
 *   system page size based alignments and sizes or multiples thereof.
 *   if no memalign variant is provided, valloc() is used instead and
 *   block sizes are limited to the system page size (no multiples thereof).
 *   as a fallback, on system without even valloc(), a malloc(3)-based page
 *   allocator with alloc-only behaviour is used.
 *
 * NOTES:
 * [1] some systems memalign(3) implementations may rely on boundary tagging for
 *     the handed out memory chunks. to avoid excessive page-wise fragmentation,
 *     we reserve 2 * sizeof (void*) per block size for the systems memalign(3),
 *     specified in NATIVE_MALLOC_PADDING.
 * [2] using the slab allocator alone already provides for a fast and efficient
 *     allocator, it doesn't properly scale beyond single-threaded uses though.
 *     also, the slab allocator implements eager free(3)-ing, i.e. does not
 *     provide any form of caching or working set maintenance. so if used alone,
 *     it's vulnerable to trashing for sequences of balanced (alloc, free) pairs
 *     at certain thresholds.
 * [3] magazine sizes are bound by an implementation specific minimum size and
 *     a chunk size specific maximum to limit magazine storage sizes to roughly
 *     16KB.
 * [4] allocating ca. 8 chunks per block/page keeps a good balance between
 *     external and internal fragmentation (<= 12.5%). [Bonwick94]
