Moddable reworked the chunk allocator to always use a single memory block for chunk storage.

The change is implemented in xsnapPlatform.c. The implementation uses mmap/mprotect (VirtualAlloc on Windows) to reserve and to commit memory pages.

To get this fix, we add an xsnap-native submodule that replaces xsnap.c and friends.
The submodule includes a few tweaks: https://github.com/agoric-labs/xsnap-pub/tree/endo-submodule

fixes #3577
fixes #3139 , bringing us back to stock XS.
fixes #2469 - Moddable reviewed the code well enough to substantially re-work it.

todo:

  • reconcile src/build.js with build:native
  • prune obsolete files: xsnap.[ch], makefiles
    • prune redundant docs
  • add unit test

@michaelfig help me update build.js? Or tell me how to test that I broke it so I can try to fix it?

The essential problem is that both the Docker build (ci and deployment/Makefile) and build.js assume only one submodule. That needs to change.

Let's do a face-to-face to make sure we cover all the cases, whenever you're ready.

LGTM, just the little pasto in packages/deployment/Makefile.

With help from @kriskowal and @warner, I finally figured out a unit test that doesn't rely on garbageCollectionCount, using WeakRef instead.

@michaelfig helped me sort out the issues of building in the docker context. (Maybe I better double-check that it builds on a Mac...)

So I propose that this is ready to go. Please take a look.

p.s. I do propose to keep the commits separate, modulo fixups from review.
