29/* Memory pools provide simple memory management of fixed-size
30 objects. Memory pools are used for two purposes:
31
32 o To ensure a stack can be unwound even when a process
33 is out of memory.
34
35 o To ensure a stack can be unwound at any time in a
36 multi-threaded process (e.g., even at a time when the normal
37 malloc-lock is taken, possibly by the very thread that is
38 being unwind).
39
40
41 To achieve the second objective, memory pools allocate memory
42 directly via mmap() system call (or an equivalent facility).
43
44 The first objective is accomplished by reserving memory ahead of
45 time. Since the memory requirements of stack unwinding generally
46 depends on the complexity of the procedures being unwind, there is
47 no absolute guarantee that unwinding will always work, but in
48 practice, this should not be a serious problem. */
