+// LinkerMemeoryAllocator is general purpose allocator

+// libc functions.
+//
+// On alloc:
+// If size is >= 1k allocator proxies malloc call directly to mmap
+// If size < 1k allocator uses SmallObjectAllocator for the size
+// rounded up to the nearest power of two.
+//
+// On free:
+//
+// For a pointer allocated using proxy-to-mmap allocator unmaps
+// the memory.
+//
+// For a pointer allocated using SmallObjectAllocator it adds
+// the block to free_blocks_list_. If the number of free pages reaches 2,
+// SmallObjectAllocator munmaps one of the pages keeping the other one
+// in reserve.
