From 7fe34f5eb33fa6d6e54fffd96b0bfe0f0489c0b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Palmer Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 02:30:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/18] feat: wire AMO, HESS, VMPC into core allocation path - AMO: Ring buffer wired into alloc/dealloc, support core with adaptive backoff - HESS: Tag field added to PageHeader, software/CHERI/MTE tagging behind feature flags - VMPC: Page compaction on large dealloc, opt-in via feature flag - Metrics: Gated behind #[cfg(feature = "metrics")] to eliminate atomic overhead - Realloc: mremap attempt for large allocations before malloc+memcpy+free fallback - New benchmarks: realloc_churn, realloc_large, fragmentation_churn, mixed_workload --- Cargo.lock | 563 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- aethalloc-abi/Cargo.toml | 6 +-
