The memcpy implementation is not completely stupid but is almost
certainly not as good as a carefully tuned and optimised one.
Building snmalloc with FreeBSD's libc memcpy + jemalloc and with this,
each 10 times, does not show a statistically significant performance
difference at 95% confidence. The snmalloc version has very slightly
lower median and worst-case times. This is in no way a sensible
benchmark, but it serves as a smoke test for significant performance
regressions.
The CI self-host job now uses the checked memcpy.
This also fixes an off-by-one error in the external bounds. This is
triggered by ninja, so we will see breakage in CI if it is reintroduced.
In debug builds, we provide a verbose error containing the address of
the allocation, the base and bounds of the allocation, and a backtrace.
The backtrace was broken by the CI cleanup moving the BACKTRACE_HEADER
macro into the SNMALLOC_ namespace. This is also fixed.
The test involves hijacking `abort`, which doesn't work everywhere. It
also requires `backtrace` to work in configurations where stack traces
are enabled. This is disabled in QEMU because `backtrace` appears to
crash reliably in QEMU user mode.
For now, in the -checks build configurations, we are hitting a slow path
in the pagemap on accesses so that the pages that are `PROT_NONE` don't
cause crashes. These need to be made read-only, but this requires a PAL
change.
