Instead of returning HeapBlock memory to the kernel (or a non-type
specific shared cache), we now keep a BlockAllocator per CellAllocator
and implement "deallocation" by basically informing the kernel that we
don't need the physical memory right now.
This is done with MADV_FREE or MADV_DONTNEED if available, but for other
platforms (including SerenityOS) we munmap and then re-mmap the memory
to achieve the same effect. It's definitely clunky, so I've added a
FIXME about implementing the madvise options on SerenityOS too.
The important outcome of this change is that GC types that use a
type-specific allocator become immune to use-after-free type confusion
attacks, since their virtual addresses will only ever be re-used for
the same exact type again and again.
Fixes#22274
This is the coarsest grained ASAN instrumentation possible for the LibJS
heap. Future instrumentation could add red-zones to heap block
allocations, and poison the entire heap block and only un-poison used
cells at the CellAllocator level.
The previous VERIFY() call checked that aligned_alloc() didn't return
MAP_FAILED. When out of memory aligned_alloc() returns a null pointer
so let's check for that instead.
This patch adds a BlockAllocator to the GC heap where we now cache up to
64 HeapBlock-sized mmap's that get recycled when allocating HeapBlocks.
This improves test-js runtime performance by ~35%, pretty cool! :^)
