Cosmopolitan now supports mremap(), which is only supported on Linux and
NetBSD. First, it allows memory mappings to be relocated without copying
them; this can dramatically speed up data structures like std::vector if
the array size grows larger than 256kb. The mremap() system call is also
10x faster than munmap() when shrinking large memory mappings.
There's now two functions, getpagesize() and getgransize() which help to
write portable code that uses mmap(MAP_FIXED). Alternative sysconf() may
be called with our new _SC_GRANSIZE. The madvise() system call now has a
better wrapper with improved documentation.
The way to use double linked lists, is to remove all the things you want
to work on, insert them into a new list on the stack. Then once you have
all the work items, you release the lock, do your work, and then lock it
again, to add the shelled out items back to a global freelist.
This fixes a regression in mmap(MAP_FIXED) on Windows caused by a recent
revision. This change also fixes ZipOS so it no longer needs a MAP_FIXED
mapping to open files from the PKZIP store. The memory mapping mutex was
implemented incorrectly earlier which meant that ftrace and strace could
cause cause crashes. This lock and other recursive mutexes are rewritten
so that it should be provable that recursive mutexes in cosmopolitan are
asynchronous signal safe.
