Used is now set to 1, when the slab is full. This means that the test
for
used - 1 == 0
can be used to detect leaving full, and entering empty, reducing fast
path deallocation branchs by 1.
This change introduces a per small sizeclass free list. That can be
used to access the free objects for that sizeclass with minimal
calculations being required.
It changes to a partial bump ptr. We bump allocate a whole OS
page worth of objects at a go, so we don't switch as frequently
between bump and free list allocation.
The code for the fast paths has been restructured to minimise the
work required on the common case, and also it is all inlined for the
common case.
Allocating a zero sized object is moved off the fast path. Ask for 1
byte if you want to be fast.
This is useful as codegen is nicer if we use size_t, but the semantics
is uint8_t, and is stored as that in many places in the metadata.
Ultimately should introduce a wrapper to check this invariant.
