Liveness Aware Memory Allocator for Honey Potion

Abstract. Honey Potion is a project developed by the Laboratory of Compilers of UFMG with the objective of making eBPF technology accessible. However, dealing with eBPF brings a severe limitation: 512 bytes of stack. This project proposes and implements a smart allocator that is liveness aware to circumvent that limitation. As a result, memory usage has reduced to 44.6% on average and over 5% in the best scenarios when compared to the original implementation across 24 benchmarks.
