There is no one actually, if you malloc twice and then dealloc the first malloc you can't SYS_BRK to free without first moving the memory block of the second allocation to the beginning.

You have to implement the memory heap yourself, libc does that way.

Then you have the change of using SYS_MMAP2 which is kinda Windows' VirtualAlloc but extended to support even more (like CreateFileMapping+MapViewOfFile).

P.S. sys_brk is ok, becouse I need only 1 buffer for crypt/decrypt.
