/** @class ArenaAlloc
* @brief Bump allocator with fixed capacity with dynamic virtual memory commitment.
*
* @text
*
* allocation order:
* ----------------------->
*
* <----------------- .size(), .reserved() --------------------------->
* <----------------- .committed() ------------->
*
* <-------allocated------><--------free--------><-----uncommitted---->
* XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX______________________......................
* ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
* lo checkpoint free limit hi
*
* +- .alloc() ->
* +-- .expand() -->
* > < .before_checkpoint()
* > < .after_checkpoint()
*
* lifetime:
*
* 1. initial state after ctor
*
* >< committed()=0
* <---------------------------uncommitted---------------------------->
* ....................................................................
* ^ ^
* lo hi
* checkpoint
* free
* limit
*
* 1a. one call to ::mmap()
* 1b. vm address space [lo,hi) is reserved
* 1c. address space [lo,hi) is inaccessible. no read|write|execute permission
*
* 2. after first allocation of n bytes
*
* <--committed--->
* <--free--><--------------------uncommitted-------------------->
* > <- allocated
* XXXXXX__________.....................................................
* ^ ^ ^ ^
* lo lo+n limit hi
* ^ free
* checkpoint
*
* 2a. committed just enough hugepages (2mb each) to accomodate n,
* i.e. expand-on-demand:
* - one call to ::mprotect()
* - .limit = .lo + (k+1) * .hugepage_z for some integer k>=0
* - k * .page_z <= n < (k+1) * .hugepage_z
* 2b. expect immediate cost 1-5us, includes:
* - TLB flush
* invalidate TLB entries for committed range on all cores that this
* process' threads have run on since process inception.
* Also, if a kernel thread has run on one of said cores, it may
* have borrowed our TLB entries
* - page table update
* write to entry for each vm page
* - kernel overhead 100-1000 cycles (< 1us)
* 2c. expect deferred cost 1us-2us per hugepage:
* - committed pages aren't backed by physical memory until
* first touched; minor page fault on first access for each page.
* - so about 256-512us for 1MB
* 3. after .expand(z)
*
* <-------------committed------------>
* <------------free------------><----------uncomitted----------->
* > <- allocated
* XXXXXX______________________________.................................
* ^ ^ ^ ^
* lo lo+n limit hi
* ^ free
* checkpoint
*
* 3a. same as case 2. but without advancing .free pointer.
*
* 4. after dtor
*
* 4a. all memory returned to o/s, no longer reserved.
* - one call to ::munmap()
*
* @endtext
*
* Design Notes:
* - non-copyable, non-moveable
* - @ref lo_ <= @ref checkpoint_ <= @ref free_ <= @ref limit_ <= @ref hi_
* - memory for ArenaAlloc itself (not the memory it allocates), ~100 bytes
* always heap allocated. Use ArenaAlloc::make()
* - memory obtained from mmap(), not heap
* - memory addresses are stable. Expand storage by committing VM pages.
* - @ref lo_ is aligned on VM page size (guaranteed by mmap())
* - @ref lo_ + @ref committed_z_ <= @ref hi_
* - @ref limit_ <= @ref lO_ + @ref committed_z_
* - @ref committed_z_ is always a multiple of VM page size
* - @ref limit_ is not guaranteed to be aligned with VM page size.
* - @ref expand increases @ref limit_ and @ref committed_z_ as needed.
