to clarify that they never enlarge the area.
* Reimplemented VMKernelAddressSpace. It is somewhat inspired by Bonwick's
vmem resource allocator (though we have different requirements):
- We consider the complete address space to be divided into contiguous
ranges of type free, reserved, or area, each range being represented by
a VMKernelAddressRange object.
- The range objects are managed in an AVL tree and a doubly linked list
(the latter only for faster iteration) sorted by address. This provides
O(log(n)) lookup, insertion and removal.
- For each power of two size we maintain a list of free ranges of at least
that size. Thus for the most common case of B_ANY*_ADDRESS area
allocation, we find a free range in constant time (the rest of the
processing being O(log(n))) with a rather good fit. This should also
help avoiding address space fragmentation.
While the new implementation should be faster, particularly with an
increasing number of areas, I couldn't measure any difference in the -j2
haiku build. From a cursory test the -j8 build hasn't tangibly benefitted
either.
