/////// Non-standard memory operations ////////////
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// General principles:
// - In user space the HEAP zone spread between the ELF zone and the STACK zone,
//   as defined in the kernel_config.h file.
// - The malloc library uses the mmap() syscall to create - on demand -
//   one vseg in a given cluster. The size of this vseg is defined below
//   by the MALLOC_LOCAL_STORE_SIZE parameter.
// - For a standard malloc(), the target cluster is the cluster containing
//   the core running the client thread.
// - For a remote_malloc(), the target cluster is explicitely defined
//   by the argument.
// - In each cluster, the available storage in virtual space is handled by a
//   local allocator using the buddy algorithm.
//
// TODO : In this first implementation one single - fixed size - vseg 
//        is allocated on demand in each cluster.
//        We should introduce the possibility to dynamically allocate
//        several vsegs in each cluster, using several mmap when required. 
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Free blocks organisation in each cluster :
// - All free blocks have a size that is a power of 2, larger or equal
//   to MALLOC_MIN_BLOCK_SIZE (typically 64 bytes).
// - All free blocks are aligned.
// - They are pre-classed in an array of linked lists, where all blocks in a
//   given list have the same size. 
// - The NEXT pointer implementing those linked lists is written 
//   in the first bytes of the block itself, using the unsigned int type.
// - The pointers on the first free block for each size are stored in an
//   array of pointers free[32] in the storage(x,y) descriptor.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Allocation policy:
// - The block size required by the user can be any value, but the allocated
//   block size can be larger than the requested size:
// - The allocator computes actual_size, that is the smallest power of 2 
//   value larger or equal to the requested size AND larger or equal to
//   MALLOC_MIN_BLOCK_SIZE.
// - It pop the linked list of free blocks corresponding to actual_size,
//   and returns the block B if the list[actual_size] is not empty.
// - If the list[actual_size] is empty, it pop the list[actual_size * 2].
//   If a block B' is found, it breaks this block in 2 B/2 blocks, returns 
//   the first B/2 block and push the other B/2 block into list[actual_size].
// - If the list[actual_size * 2] is empty, it pop the list[actual_size * 4].
//   If a block B is found, it break this block in 3 blocks B/4, B/4 and B/2,
//   returns the first B/4 block, push the other blocks B/4 and B/2 into
//   the proper lists. etc... 
// - If no block satisfying the request is available it returns a failure
//   (NULL pointer).
// - This allocation policy has the nice following property:
//   If the vseg is aligned (the vseg base is a multiple of the
//   vseg size), all allocated blocks are aligned on the actual_size.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Free policy:
// - Each allocated block is registered in an alloc[] array of unsigned char.
// - This registration is required by the free() operation, because the size
//   of the allocated block must be obtained from the base address of the block.  
// - The number of entries in this array is equal to the max number
//   of allocated block : MALLOC_LOCAL_STORE_SIZE / MALLOC_MIN_BLOCK_SIZE.
// - For each allocated block, the value registered in the alloc[] array
//   is log2( size_of_allocated_block ).
// - The index in this array is computed from the allocated block base address:
//      index = (block_base - vseg_base) / MALLOC_MIN_BLOCK_SIZE
// - The alloc[] array is stored at the end of heap segment. This consume
//   (1 / MALLOC_MIN_BLOCK_SIZE) of the total storage capacity.
