Maybe someone with more insight could explain to an idiot like me how Haskell garbage collection is handled when running in the kernel?
First, s_alloc() is Ajhc Haskell compiler's allocator, and gc_perform_gc() is GC runner. https://github.com/ajhc/ajhc/blob/6c053b940812689fe22d2dbe2b7ad835dab8a3c7/r... https://github.com/ajhc/ajhc/blob/6c053b940812689fe22d2dbe2b7ad835dab8a3c7/r... The s_alloc() try to find free area. But if not, it runs GC. https://github.com/ajhc/ajhc/blob/6c053b940812689fe22d2dbe2b7ad835dab8a3c7/r... By the way, where from s_alloc() get a memory chunk? Now using kern_malloc(9). https://github.com/metasepi/netbsd-arafura-s1/blob/arafura-s1/metasepi/sys/h... Regards, -- Kiwamu Okabe
