[PATCH] slob: introduce the SLOB allocator

configurable replacement for slab allocator

This adds a CONFIG_SLAB option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  When CONFIG_SLAB is
disabled, the kernel falls back to using the 'SLOB' allocator.

SLOB is a traditional K&R/UNIX allocator with a SLAB emulation layer,
similar to the original Linux kmalloc allocator that SLAB replaced.  It's
signicantly smaller code and is more memory efficient.  But like all
similar allocators, it scales poorly and suffers from fragmentation more
than SLAB, so it's only appropriate for small systems.

It's been tested extensively in the Linux-tiny tree.  I've also
stress-tested it with make -j 8 compiles on a 3G SMP+PREEMPT box (not
recommended).

Here's a comparison for otherwise identical builds, showing SLOB saving
nearly half a megabyte of RAM:

Disabling this replaces the advanced SLAB allocator and

/*
* SLOB Allocator: Simple List Of Blocks
*
* Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> 12/30/03
*
* How SLOB works:
*
* The core of SLOB is a traditional K&R style heap allocator, with
* support for returning aligned objects. The granularity of this
* allocator is 8 bytes on x86, though it's perhaps possible to reduce
* this to 4 if it's deemed worth the effort. The slob heap is a
* singly-linked list of pages from __get_free_page, grown on demand
* and allocation from the heap is currently first-fit.
*
* Above this is an implementation of kmalloc/kfree. Blocks returned
* from kmalloc are 8-byte aligned and prepended with a 8-byte header.
* If kmalloc is asked for objects of PAGE_SIZE or larger, it calls
* __get_free_pages directly so that it can return page-aligned blocks
* and keeps a linked list of such pages and their orders. These
* objects are detected in kfree() by their page alignment.
*
* SLAB is emulated on top of SLOB by simply calling constructors and
* destructors for every SLAB allocation. Objects are returned with
* the 8-byte alignment unless the SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag is
* set, in which case the low-level allocator will fragment blocks to
* create the proper alignment. Again, objects of page-size or greater
* are allocated by calling __get_free_pages. As SLAB objects know
* their size, no separate size bookkeeping is necessary and there is
* essentially no allocation space overhead.
