/* Simple, fast heap implementation.
*
* A more or less conventional segregated fit allocator with
* power-of-two buckets.
*
* Excellent space efficiency. Chunks can be split arbitrarily in 8
* byte units. Overhead is only four bytes per allocated chunk (eight
* bytes for heaps >256kb or on 64 bit systems), plus a log2-sized
* array of 2-word bucket headers. No coarse alignment restrictions
* on blocks, they can be split and merged (in units of 8 bytes)
* arbitrarily.
*
* Simple API. Initialize at runtime with any blob of memory and not
* a macro-generated, carefully aligned static array. Allocate and
* free by user pointer and not an opaque block handle.
*
* Good fragmentation resistance. Freed blocks are always immediately
* merged with adjacent free blocks. Allocations are attempted from a
* sample of the smallest bucket that might fit, falling back rapidly
* to the smallest block guaranteed to fit. Split memory remaining in
* the chunk is always returned immediately to the heap for other
* allocation.
*
* Excellent performance with firmly bounded runtime. All operations
* are constant time (though there is a search of the smallest bucket
* that has a compile-time-configurable upper bound, setting this to
* extreme values results in an effectively linear search of the
* list), objectively fast (~hundred instructions) and and amenable to
* locked operation.
*/
/* Note: the init_mem/bytes fields are for the static initializer to
* have somewhere to put the arguments. The actual heap metadata at
* runtime lives in the heap memory itself and this struct simply
* functions as an opaque pointer. Would be good to clean this up and
* put the two values somewhere else, though it would make
* SYS_HEAP_DEFINE a little hairy to write.
