Alan Cox 268f19aacc vm: Reduce address space fragmentation
jemalloc performs two types of virtual memory allocations: (1) large
chunks of virtual memory, where the chunk size is a multiple of a
superpage and explicitly aligned, and (2) small allocations, mostly
128KB, where no alignment is requested.  Typically, it starts with a
small allocation, and over time it makes both types of allocation.

With anon_loc being updated on every allocation, we wind up with a
repeating pattern of a small allocation, a large gap, and a large,
aligned allocation.  (As an aside, we wind up allocating a reservation
for these small allocations, but it will never fill because the next
large, aligned allocation updates anon_loc, leaving a gap that will
never be filled with other small allocations.)

With this change, anon_loc isn't updated on every allocation.  So, the
small allocations will be clustered together, the large allocations will
be clustered together, and there will be fewer gaps between the
anonymous memory allocations.  In addition, I see a small reduction in
reservations allocated (e.g., 1.6% during buildworld), fewer partially
populated reservations, and a small increase in 64KB page promotions on
arm64.

FreeBSD Source:

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
