Andrew Stubbs 9e5a9aa490 libgomp: fine-grained pinned memory allocator
This patch introduces a new custom memory allocator for use with pinned
memory (in the case where the Cuda allocator isn't available).  In future,
this allocator will also be used for Managed Memory.  Both memories are
incompatible with the system malloc because allocated memory cannot share a
page with memory allocated for other purposes.

This means that small allocations will no longer consume an entire page of
pinned memory.  Unfortunately, it also means that pinned memory pages will
never be unmapped (although they may be reused).  This isn't a technical
limitation; the "free" algorithm could be extended in future, if needed.

The implementation is not perfect; there are various corner cases (especially
related to extending onto new pages) where allocations and reallocations may
be sub-optimal, but it should still be a step forward in support for small
allocations.

I have considered using libmemkind's "fixed" memory but rejected it for three
reasons: 1) libmemkind may not always be present at runtime, 2) there's no
currently documented means to extend a "fixed" kind one page at a time
(although the code appears to have an undocumented function that may do the
job, and/or extending libmemkind to support the MAP_LOCKED mmap flag with its
regular kinds would be straight-forward), 3) Managed Memory benefits from
having the metadata located in different memory and using an external
implementation makes it hard to guarantee this.

/* Implement malloc routines that can handle pinned memory on Linux.
Given that pinned memory is typically used to help host <-> device memory
transfers, we attempt to allocate such memory using a device (really:
libgomp plugin), but fall back to mmap plus mlock if no suitable device is
available.
It's possible to use mlock on any heap memory, but using munlock is
problematic if there are multiple pinned allocations on the same page.
Tracking all that manually would be possible, but adds overhead. This may
be worth it if there are a lot of small allocations getting pinned, but
this seems less likely in a HPC application.
Instead we optimize for large pinned allocations, and use mmap to ensure
that two pinned allocations don't share the same page. This also means
that large allocations don't pin extra pages by being poorly aligned. */
