f67ac5e46d Fix the inconsistencies between performance tests in ByteBufAllocatorBenchmark
Motivation:

default*() tests are performing a test in a different way, and they must be same with other tests.

Modification:

Make sure default*() tests are same with the others

Result:

Easier to compare default and non-default allocators

085a61a310 Refactor FastThreadLocal to simplify TLV management
Motivation:

When Netty runs in a managed environment such as web application server,
Netty needs to provide an explicit way to remove the thread-local
variables it created to prevent class loader leaks.

FastThreadLocal uses different execution paths for storing a
thread-local variable depending on the type of the current thread.
It increases the complexity of thread-local removal.

Modifications:

- Moved FastThreadLocal and FastThreadLocalThread out of the internal
  package so that a user can use it.
- FastThreadLocal now keeps track of all thread local variables it has
  initialized, and calling FastThreadLocal.removeAll() will remove all
  thread-local variables of the caller thread.
- Added FastThreadLocal.size() for diagnostics and tests
- Introduce InternalThreadLocalMap which is a mixture of hard-wired
  thread local variable fields and extensible indexed variables
- FastThreadLocal now uses InternalThreadLocalMap to implement a
  thread-local variable.
- Added ThreadDeathWatcher.unwatch() so that PooledByteBufAllocator
  tells it to stop watching when its thread-local cache has been freed
  by FastThreadLocal.removeAll().
- Added FastThreadLocalTest to ensure that removeAll() works
- Added microbenchmark for FastThreadLocal and JDK ThreadLocal
- Upgraded to JMH 0.9

Result:

- A user can remove all thread-local variables Netty created, as long as
  he or she did not exit from the current thread. (Note that there's no
  way to remove a thread-local variable from outside of the thread.)
- FastThreadLocal exposes more useful operations such as isSet() because
  we always implement a thread local variable via InternalThreadLocalMap
  instead of falling back to JDK ThreadLocal.
- FastThreadLocalBenchmark shows that this change improves the
  performance of FastThreadLocal even more.

2a2a21ec59 Introduce FastThreadLocal which uses an EnumMap and a predefined fixed set of possible thread locals
Motivation:
Provide a faster ThreadLocal implementation

Modification:
Add a "FastThreadLocal" which uses an EnumMap and a predefined fixed set of possible thread locals (all of the static instances created by netty) that is around 10-20% faster than standard ThreadLocal in my benchmarks (and can be seen having an effect in the direct PooledByteBufAllocator benchmark that uses the DEFAULT ByteBufAllocator which uses this FastThreadLocal, as opposed to normal instantiations that do not, and in the new RecyclableArrayList benchmark);

Result:
Improved performance

61dbc353ca [] Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation should only invert bytes if ByteOrder differ from native ByteOrder
Motivation:
Our Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation always invert bytes when the native ByteOrder is LITTLE_ENDIAN (this is true on intel), even when the user calls order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN). This is not optimal for performance reasons as the user should be able to set the ByteOrder to LITTLE_ENDIAN and so write bytes without the extra inverting.

Modification:
- Introduce a new special SwappedByteBuf (called UnsafeDirectSwappedByteBuf) that is used by all the Unsafe*ByteBuf implementation and allows to write without inverting the bytes.
- Add benchmark
- Upgrade jmh to 0.8

Result:
The user is be able to get the max performance even on servers that have ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN as their native ByteOrder.

0cc264b76b More realistic ByteBuf allocation benchmark
Motivation:

Allocating a single buffer and releasing it repetitively for a benchmark will not involve the realistic execution path of the allocators.

Modifications:

Keep the last 8192 allocations and release them randomly.

Result:

We are now getting the result close to what we got with caliper.

14158070bf Revamp the core API to reduce memory footprint and consumption
The API changes made so far turned out to increase the memory footprint
and consumption while our intention was actually decreasing them.

Memory consumption issue:

When there are many connections which does not exchange data frequently,
the old Netty 4 API spent a lot more memory than 3 because it always
allocates per-handler buffer for each connection unless otherwise
explicitly stated by a user.  In a usual real world load, a client
doesn't always send requests without pausing, so the idea of having a
buffer whose life cycle if bound to the life cycle of a connection
didn't work as expected.

Memory footprint issue:

The old Netty 4 API decreased overall memory footprint by a great deal
in many cases.  It was mainly because the old Netty 4 API did not
allocate a new buffer and event object for each read.  Instead, it
created a new buffer for each handler in a pipeline.  This works pretty
well as long as the number of handlers in a pipeline is only a few.
However, for a highly modular application with many handlers which
handles connections which lasts for relatively short period, it actually
makes the memory footprint issue much worse.

Changes:

All in all, this is about retaining all the good changes we made in 4 so
far such as better thread model and going back to the way how we dealt
with message events in 3.

To fix the memory consumption/footprint issue mentioned above, we made a
hard decision to break the backward compatibility again with the
following changes:

- Remove MessageBuf
- Merge Buf into ByteBuf
- Merge ChannelInboundByte/MessageHandler and ChannelStateHandler into ChannelInboundHandler
  - Similar changes were made to the adapter classes
- Merge ChannelOutboundByte/MessageHandler and ChannelOperationHandler into ChannelOutboundHandler
  - Similar changes were made to the adapter classes
- Introduce MessageList which is similar to `MessageEvent` in Netty 3
- Replace inboundBufferUpdated(ctx) with messageReceived(ctx, MessageList)
- Replace flush(ctx, promise) with write(ctx, MessageList, promise)
- Remove ByteToByteEncoder/Decoder/Codec
  - Replaced by MessageToByteEncoder<ByteBuf>, ByteToMessageDecoder<ByteBuf>, and ByteMessageCodec<ByteBuf>
- Merge EmbeddedByteChannel and EmbeddedMessageChannel into EmbeddedChannel
- Add SimpleChannelInboundHandler which is sometimes more useful than
  ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter
- Bring back Channel.isWritable() from Netty 3
- Add ChannelInboundHandler.channelWritabilityChanges() event
- Add RecvByteBufAllocator configuration property
  - Similar to ReceiveBufferSizePredictor in Netty 3
  - Some existing configuration properties such as
    DatagramChannelConfig.receivePacketSize is gone now.
- Remove suspend/resumeIntermediaryDeallocation() in ByteBuf

This change would have been impossible without @normanmaurer's help. He
fixed, ported, and improved many parts of the changes.

03e68482bb Remove ChannelBuf/ByteBuf.Unsafe
- Fixes 
Unsafe.isFreed(), free(), suspend/resumeIntermediaryAllocations() are not that dangerous. internalNioBuffer() and internalNioBuffers() are dangerous but it seems like nobody is using it even inside Netty. Removing those two methods also removes the necessity to keep Unsafe interface at all.

b47fc77522 Add PooledByteBufAllocator + microbenchmark module
This pull request introduces the new default ByteBufAllocator implementation based on jemalloc, with a some differences:

* Minimum possible buffer capacity is 16 (jemalloc: 2)
* Uses binary heap with random branching (jemalloc: red-black tree)
* No thread-local cache yet (jemalloc has thread-local cache)
* Default page size is 8 KiB (jemalloc: 4 KiB)
* Default chunk size is 16 MiB (jemalloc: 2 MiB)
* Cannot allocate a buffer bigger than the chunk size (jemalloc: possible) because we don't have control over memory layout in Java. A user can work around this issue by creating a composite buffer, but it's not always a feasible option. Although 16 MiB is a pretty big default, a user's handler might need to deal with the bounded buffers when the user wants to deal with a large message.

Also, to ensure the new allocator performs good enough, I wrote a microbenchmark for it and made it a dedicated Maven module. It uses Google's Caliper framework to run and publish the test result (example)

Miscellaneous changes:

* Made some ByteBuf implementations public so that those who implements a new allocator can make use of them.
* Added ByteBufAllocator.compositeBuffer() and its variants.
* ByteBufAllocator.ioBuffer() creates a buffer with 0 capacity.
