Subject: [PATCH] common: make TLSF the default allocator
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2025 12:37:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250327113753.361094-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

Going by the most used defconfigs (multi_*_defconfig), TLSF is the most
used allocator and it supports features absent in dlmalloc like
multiple pools (used on ARMv7-R) and has KASAN integration, so there's
even less reason to use dlmalloc nowadays.

In preparation for possible removal of dlmalloc in future, switch the
default away from dlmalloc.
