Linus Torvalds 855419f764 Add specialized object allocator
This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic
objects.

This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and
extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the
alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed.

It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object
allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows
object usage as follows:

     blobs:   627629 (14710 kB)
     trees:  1119035 (34969 kB)
   commits:   196423  (8440 kB)
      tags:     1336    (46 kB)

and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory
footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit
faster too.

[ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage".
  The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects.

  Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final
  total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the
  object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put
  another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total
  memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10%
  of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes
  object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient).

  I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is
  just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree
  objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we
  don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and
  blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in
  the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly
  need to.

  So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that
  most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We
  don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair
  amount. ]
