    runtime: track ranges of address space which are owned by the heap · 9d78e75a
    Michael Anthony Knyszek authored
    This change adds a new inUse field to the allocator which tracks ranges
    of addresses that are owned by the heap. It is updated on each heap
    growth.
    
    These ranges are tracked in an array which is kept sorted. In practice
    this array shouldn't exceed its initial allocation except in rare cases
    and thus should be small (ideally exactly 1 element in size).
    
    In a hypothetical worst-case scenario wherein we have a 1 TiB heap and 4
    MiB arenas (note that the address ranges will never be at a smaller
    granularity than an arena, since arenas are always allocated
    contiguously), inUse would use at most 4 MiB of memory if the heap
    mappings were completely discontiguous (highly unlikely) with an
    additional 2 MiB leaked from previous allocations. Furthermore, the
    copies that are done to keep the inUse array sorted will copy at most 4
    MiB of memory in such a scenario, which, assuming a conservative copying
    rate of 5 GiB/s, amounts to about 800µs.
    
    However, note that in practice:
    1) Most 64-bit platforms have 64 MiB arenas.
    2) The copies should incur little-to-no page faults, meaning a copy rate
       closer to 25-50 GiB/s is expected.
    3) Go heaps are almost always mostly contiguous.
    
    Updates #35514.
