This change introduces a centralized memory allocator in the kernel. This interface can call into multiple arenas, including the default OS heap and planned arenas managed by a gint algorithm. The main advantage of this method is that it allows the heap to be extended over previously-unused areas of RAM such as the end of the static RAM region (apart from where the stack resides). Not using the OS heap is also sometimes a matter of correctness since on some OS versions the heap is known to fragment badly and degrade over time. I hope the deep control this interfaces gives over meomry allocation will allow very particular applications like object-specific allocators in fragmented SPU memory. This change does not introduce any new algorithm or arena so programs should behave exactly as before. |
