Fix AC_PATH_PROG() calls to specify 'false' as the default, so that if
the configure script fails to find a program, the false program is
instead called, and an error occurs. Prior to this fix, if xsltproc
could not be found, make would not report an error due to the leading -o
in the xsltproc invocation.

Tighten valgrind integration such that immediately after memory is
validated or zeroed, valgrind is told to forget the memory's 'defined'
state. The only place newly allocated memory should be left marked as
'defined' is in the public functions (e.g. calloc() and realloc()).
Move validation of supposedly zeroed pages from chunk_alloc() to
chunk_recycle(). There is little point to validating newly mapped
memory returned by chunk_alloc_mmap(), and memory that comes from sbrk()
is explicitly zeroed, so there is little risk to assuming that
chunk_alloc_dss() actually does the zeroing properly.
This relaxation of validation can make a big difference to application
startup time and overall system usage on platforms that use jemalloc as
the system allocator (namely FreeBSD).

In particular:
- ffsl always returns int, not long, on FreeBSD, Linux, and OSX.
- Mute compiler warnings about rv being unused (and the potential for
compilers optimizing out the call completely) by dumping the value
with printf(3).

This ensures POLA on FreeBSD (at least) as free(3) is generally assumed
to not fiddle around with errno.

Modify processing of the lg_chunk option so that it clips an
out-of-range input to the edge of the valid range. This makes it
possible to request the minimum possible chunk size without intimate
knowledge of allocator internals.
Submitted by Ian Lepore (see FreeBSD PR bin/174641).
Fix chunk_recycyle() to unconditionally inform Valgrind that returned
memory is undefined. This fixes Valgrind warnings that would result
from a huge allocation being freed, then recycled for use as an arena
chunk. The arena code would write metadata to the chunk header, and
Valgrind would consider these invalid writes.
When statically linking jemalloc, it may be beneficial not to export its
symbols if it makes sense, which allows the compiler and the linker to do
some further optimizations.
Purge unused dirty pages in an order that first performs clean/dirty run
defragmentation, in order to mitigate available run fragmentation.
Remove the limitation that prevented purging unless at least one chunk
worth of dirty pages had accumulated in an arena. This limitation was
intended to avoid excessive purging for small applications, but the
threshold was arbitrary, and the effect of questionable utility.
Relax opt_lg_dirty_mult from 5 to 3. This compensates for increased
likelihood of allocating clean runs, given the same ratio of clean:dirty
runs, and reduces the potential for repeated purging in pathological
large malloc/free loops that push the active:dirty page ratio just over
the purge threshold.
Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, so that it is possible to create new
arenas that are outside the set that jemalloc automatically multiplexes
threads onto.
Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm(), so that it is possible
to explicitly allocate from a particular arena.
Add the "opt.dss" mallctl, which controls the default precedence of dss
allocation relative to mmap allocation.
Add the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl, which makes it possible to set the
default dss precedence on a per arena or global basis.
Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge".
Add the "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctl.
Mozilla build hides everything by default using visibility pragma and
unhides only explicitly listed headers. But this doesn't work on FreeBSD
because _pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb is neither documented nor exposed
via any header.
Fix mutex acquisition order inversion for the chunks rtree and the base
mutex. Chunks rtree acquisition was introduced by the previous commit,
so this bug was short-lived.
Add a library constructor for jemalloc that initializes the allocator.
This fixes a race that could occur if threads were created by the main
thread prior to any memory allocation, followed by fork(2), and then
memory allocation in the child process.
Fix the prefork/postfork functions to acquire/release the ctl, prof, and
rtree mutexes. This fixes various fork() child process deadlocks, but
one possible deadlock remains (intentionally) unaddressed: prof
backtracing can acquire runtime library mutexes, so deadlock is still
possible if heap profiling is enabled during fork(). This deadlock is
known to be a real issue in at least the case of libgcc-based
backtracing.

mlockall(2) can cause purging via madvise(2) to fail. Fix purging code
to check whether madvise() succeeded, and base zeroed page metadata on
the result.
Reported by Olivier Lecomte.
Refactor code such that arena_mapbits_{large,small}_set() always
preserves the unzeroed flag, and manually manipulate the unzeroed flag
in the one case where it actually gets reset (in arena_chunk_purge()).
This fixes unzeroed preservation bugs in arena_run_split() and
arena_ralloc_large_grow(). These bugs caused large calloc() to return
non-zeroed memory under some circumstances.
Generalize "stats.mapped" documentation to state that all inactive
chunks are omitted, now that it is possible for mmap'ed chunks to be
omitted in addition to DSS chunks.
da99e31 removed attributes on je_memalign and je_valloc, while they didn't
have a definition in the jemalloc.h header, thus making them non-exported.
Export them again, by defining them in the jemalloc.h header.
