Description

In between hrev54154 (14th Sep 2020) and hrev54662 (21st Oct 2020), a regression was introduced which fails a c++ new (malloc) when requesting more than 2Gb of memory (x64 architecture, with 32Gb available memory).

Stack trace: _kern_debugger +0x7 abort + 0x4a llvm::report_bad_alloc_error(char const*, bool) + 0xea operator new(std::size-t) + 0x3a The file belongs to /sources/gcc-8.3.0/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/new_op.cc

Requested buffer size was 2,053,316,608 bytes.

This has been working for a number of years until the regression was introduced between hrev54154 (last known working version) and hrev54662 (earliest detected error). Validated on 3 boxes (MacBookPro, Ryzen2700, Ryzen3700) with multiple haiku images (disk/usb/ssd/nvme).

We really need to replace our default malloc(). Hopefully musl will get around to building the profiling tool they said they would so I can send them the logs of running Debugger and fix the performance issues.

This is probably somehow due to VM changes I guess.

It seems to fail here: threadheap.cpp:48. I can't find changes in hrev54154..hrev54662 that affect check above.
