    [builtins] Remap embedded builtins into the heap on ARM64 macOS · da1a2d12
    Benoit Lize authored
    For short builtin calls, the builtins are copied on the heap when they
    cannot be put close enough to be in range of relative calls. This costs
    memory, as the embedded builtins are part of the binary, and mapped from
    the binary, and as a consequence shared with all running processes.
    
    Rather than copying the memory, we can remap it at a different address,
    avoiding the memory cost. This CL does that, on ARM64 macOS only for
    now.
    
    This saves at least ~1.4MiB of memory per V8 process. See below the
    output of vmmap <PID>:

    The "208K" regions are 256kiB code pages, minus the header and guard
    pages, meaning that they are code chunks. The mapped file are the
    remapped builtins, showing that they aren't copied, but remapped from
    the binary.
