21 The design of this memory manager.
23 This is a simple implementation of malloc with a few extensions. These are
26 - memalign is implemented efficiently.
28 - multiple regions may be used as free space. They may not be
31 Regions are managed by a singly linked list, and the meta information is
32 stored in the beginning of each region. Space after the meta information
33 is used to allocate memory.
35 The memory space is used as cells instead of bytes for simplicity. This
36 is important for some CPUs which may not access multiple bytes at a time
37 when the first byte is not aligned at a certain boundary (typically,
38 4-byte or 8-byte). The size of each cell is equal to the size of struct
39 grub_mm_header, so the header of each allocated/free block fits into one
40 cell precisely. One cell is 16 bytes on 32-bit platforms and 32 bytes
43 There are two types of blocks: allocated blocks and free blocks.
45 In allocated blocks, the header of each block has only its size. Note that
46 this size is based on cells but not on bytes. The header is located right
47 before the returned pointer, that is, the header resides at the previous
50 Free blocks constitutes a ring, using a singly linked list. The first free
51 block is pointed to by the meta information of a region. The allocator
52 attempts to pick up the second block instead of the first one. This is
53 a typical optimization against defragmentation, and makes the
54 implementation a bit easier.
56 For safety, both allocated blocks and free ones are marked by magic
57 numbers. Whenever anything unexpected is detected, GRUB aborts the
