Moe Charm (CI) f28cafbad3 Fix root cause: slab_index_for() offset calculation error in tiny_free_fast
ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED AND FIXED

Problem:
- tiny_free_fast.inc.h line 219 hardcoded 'ptr - 1' for all classes
- But C0/C7 have tiny_user_offset() = 0, C1-6 have = 1
- This caused slab_index_for() to use wrong position
- Result: Returns invalid slab_idx (e.g., 0x45c) for C0/C7 blocks
- Cascaded as: [TLS_SLL_NEXT_INVALID], [FREELIST_INVALID], [NORMALIZE_USERPTR]

Solution:
1. Call slab_index_for(ss, ptr) with USER pointer directly
   - slab_index_for() handles position calculation internally
   - Avoids hardcoded offset errors

2. Then convert USER → BASE using per-class offset
   - tiny_user_offset(class_idx) for accurate conversion
   - tiny_free_fast_ss() needs BASE pointer for next operations

Expected Impact:
 [TLS_SLL_NEXT_INVALID] eliminated
 [FREELIST_INVALID] eliminated
 [NORMALIZE_USERPTR] eliminated
 All 5 defensive layers become unnecessary
 Remove refcount pinning, guards, validations, drops

This single fix addresses the root cause of all symptoms.

Technical Details:
- slab_index_for() (superslab_inline.h line 165-192) internally calculates
  position from ptr and handles the pointer-to-offset conversion correctly
- No need to pre-convert to BASE before calling slab_index_for()
- The hardcoded 'ptr - 1' assumption was incorrect for classes with offset=0

// ========== Performance Notes ==========
//
// Expected metrics:
// - Same-thread hit rate: 80-90% (workload dependent)
// - Same-thread latency: 2-3 instructions (ownership check + push)
// - Cross-thread penalty: ~50-100 instructions (remote queue push)
// - Throughput improvement: +10-20% vs current multi-layer design
//
// Key optimizations:
// 1. Ownership check first (fail-fast on cross-thread)
// 2. `__builtin_expect` for branch prediction (same-thread is common)
// 3. `static inline` for zero-cost abstraction
// 4. TLS variables (no atomic ops in same-thread path)
//
// TOCTOU Race Prevention (Box 4 Boundary):
// - Ownership check is atomic (tiny_atomic_load_u32_relaxed)
// - No time window between check and push (single function)
// - Cross-thread frees are immediately delegated (no TLS touch)
//
// Comparison with current design:
// - Current: 38.43% free overhead (free.part.0 + mid_lookup + locks)
// - New: 2-3 instructions (ownership check + TLS push)
// - Reduction: -90% instructions in same-thread path
//
// Inspired by:
// - System tcache (glibc malloc) - fast same-thread free
// - Box Theory - Clear ownership boundaries
// - TOCTOU fix (Box 4) - Atomic ownership check
