Tom efe2b75017 Kernel: Optimize single physical page allocation and randomize returns
Rather than trying to find a contiguous set of bits of size 1, just
find one single available bit using a hint.

Also, try to randomize returned physical pages a bit by placing them
into a 256 entry queue rather than making them available immediately.
Then, once the queue is filled, pick a random one, make it available
again and use that slot for the latest page to be returned.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Travis CI status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
