Willy Tarreau 9f3129e583 MEDIUM: pools: move the cache into the pool header
Initially per-thread pool caches were stored into a fixed-size array.
But this was a bit ugly because the last allocated pools were not able
to benefit from the cache at all. As a work around to preserve
performance, a size of 64 cacheable pools was set by default (there
are 51 pools at the moment, excluding any addon and debugging code),
so all in-tree pools were covered, at the expense of higher memory
usage.

In addition an index had to be calculated for each pool, and was used
to acces the pool cache head into that array. The pool index was not
even stored into the pools so it was required to determine it to access
the cache when the pool was already known.

This patch changes this by moving the pool cache head into the pool
head itself. This way it is certain that each pool will have its own
cache. This removes the need for index calculation.

The pool cache head is 32 bytes long so it was aligned to 64B to avoid
false sharing between threads. The extra cost is not huge (~2kB more
per pool than before), and we'll make better use of that space soon.
The pool cache head contains the size, which should probably be removed
since it's already in the pool's head.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
