e904f813b4 Hide size class computation behind a layer of indirection.
This class removes almost all the dependencies on size_classes.h, accessing the
data there only via the new module sc.h, which does not depend on any
configuration options.

In a subsequent commit, we'll remove the configure-time size class computations,
doing them at boot time, instead.

5ae6e7cbfa Add "hook" module.
The hook module allows a low-reader-overhead way of finding hooks to invoke and
calling them.

For now, none of the allocation pathways are tied into the hooks; this will come
later.

c7a87e0e0b Rename hooks module to test_hooks.
"Hooks" is really the best name for the module that will contain the publicly
exposed hooks.  So lets rename the current "hooks" module (that hook external
dependencies, for reentrancy testing) to "test_hooks".

b73380bee0 Fix include path order for out-of-tree builds.
When configuring out-of-tree (source directory is not build directory),
the generated include files from the build directory should have higher
priority than those in the source dir.

This is especially helpful when cross-compiling.

The emitter can be used to produce structured json or tabular output.  For now
it has no uses; in subsequent commits, I'll begin transitioning stats printing

26b1c13982 Background threads: fix an indexing bug.
We have a buffer overrun that manifests in the case where arena indices higher
than the number of CPUs are accessed before arena indices lower than the number
of CPUs.  This fixes the bug and adds a test.

048c6679cd Remove external linkage for spin_adaptive
The external linkage for spin_adaptive was not used, and the inline
declaration of spin_adaptive that was used caused a probem on FreeBSD
where CPU_SPINWAIT is implemented as a call to a static procedure for
x86 architectures.

b693c7868e Implementing opt.background_thread.
Added opt.background_thread to enable background threads, which handles purging
currently.  When enabled, decay ticks will not trigger purging (which will be
left to the background threads).  We limit the max number of threads to NCPUs.
When percpu arena is enabled, set CPU affinity for the background threads as
well.

The sleep interval of background threads is dynamic and determined by computing
number of pages to purge in the future (based on backlog).

3f685e8824 Protect the rtree/extent interactions with a mutex pool.
Instead of embedding a lock bit in rtree leaf elements, we associate extents
with a small set of mutexes.  This gets us two things:

- We can use the system mutexes.  This (hypothetically) protects us from
  priority inversion, and lets us stop doing a backoff/sleep loop, instead
  opting for precise wakeups from the mutex.
- Cuts down on the number of mutex acquisitions we have to do (from 4 in the
  worst case to two).

We end up simplifying most of the rtree code (which no longer has to deal with
locking or concurrency at all), at the cost of additional complexity in the
extent code: since the mutex protecting the rtree leaf elements is determined by
reading the extent out of those elements, the initial read is racy, so that we
may acquire an out of date mutex.  We re-check the extent in the leaf after
acquiring the mutex to protect us from this race.

6e62c62862 Refactor *decay_time into *decay_ms.
Support millisecond resolution for decay times.  Among other use cases
this makes it possible to specify a short initial dirty-->muzzy decay
phase, followed by a longer muzzy-->clean decay phase.

This resolves #812.

64e458f5cd Implement two-phase decay-based purging.
Split decay-based purging into two phases, the first of which uses lazy
purging to convert dirty pages to "muzzy", and the second of which uses
forced purging, decommit, or unmapping to convert pages to clean or
destroy them altogether.  Not all operating systems support lazy
purging, yet the application may provide extent hooks that implement
lazy purging, so care must be taken to dynamically omit the first phase
when necessary.

The mallctl interfaces change as follows:
- opt.decay_time --> opt.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- arena.<i>.decay_time --> arena.<i>.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- arenas.decay_time --> arenas.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- stats.arenas.<i>.pdirty --> stats.arenas.<i>.p{dirty,muzzy}
- stats.arenas.<i>.{npurge,nmadvise,purged} -->
  stats.arenas.<i>.{dirty,muzzy}_{npurge,nmadvise,purged}

This resolves #521.

e9852b5776 Disentangle assert and util
This is the first header refactoring diff, #533.  It splits the assert and util
components into separate, hermetic, header files.  In the process, it splits out
two of the large sub-components of util (the stdio.h replacement, and bit
manipulation routines) into their own components (malloc_io.h and bit_util.h).
This is mostly to break up cyclic dependencies, but it also breaks off a good
chunk of the catch-all-ness of util, which is nice.

d4ac7582f3 Introduce a backport of C11 atomics
This introduces a backport of C11 atomics.  It has four implementations; ranked
in order of preference, they are:
- GCC/Clang __atomic builtins
- GCC/Clang __sync builtins
- MSVC _Interlocked builtins
- C11 atomics, from <stdatomic.h>

The primary advantages are:
- Close adherence to the standard API gives us a defined memory model.
- Type safety: atomic objects are now separate types from non-atomic ones, so
  that it's impossible to mix up atomic and non-atomic updates (which is
  undefined behavior that compilers are starting to take advantage of).
- Efficiency: we can specify ordering for operations, avoiding fences and
  atomic operations on strongly ordered architectures (example:
  `atomic_write_u32(ptr, val);` involves a CAS loop, whereas
  `atomic_store(ptr, val, ATOMIC_RELEASE);` is a plain store.

This diff leaves in the current atomics API (implementing them in terms of the
backport).  This lets us transition uses over piecemeal.

Testing:
This is by nature hard to test. I've manually tested the first three options on
Linux on gcc by futzing with the #defines manually, on freebsd with gcc and
clang, on MSVC, and on OS X with clang.  All of these were x86 machines though,
and we don't have any test infrastructure set up for non-x86 platforms.

1ff09534b5 Fix prof_realloc() regression.
Mostly revert the prof_realloc() changes in
498856f44a (Move slabs out of chunks.) so
that prof_free_sampled_object() is called when appropriate.  Leave the
prof_tctx_[re]set() optimization in place, but add an assertion to
verify that all eight cases are correctly handled.  Add a comment to
make clear the code ordering, so that the regression originally fixed by
ea8d97b897 (Fix
prof_{malloc,free}_sample_object() call order in prof_realloc().) is not
repeated.

This resolves #499.

argument so that it is possible for all base allocations to be serviced
by the specified extent hooks.

bacb6afc6c Simplify arena_slab_regind().
Rewrite arena_slab_regind() to provide sufficient constant data for
the compiler to perform division strength reduction.  This replaces
more general manual strength reduction that was implemented before
arena_bin_info was compile-time-constant.  It would be possible to
slightly improve on the compiler-generated division code by taking
advantage of range limits that the compiler doesn't know about.

194d6f9de8 Restructure *CFLAGS/*CXXFLAGS configuration.
Convert CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS to be concatenations:

  CFLAGS := CONFIGURE_CFLAGS SPECIFIED_CFLAGS EXTRA_CFLAGS
  CXXFLAGS := CONFIGURE_CXXFLAGS SPECIFIED_CXXFLAGS EXTRA_CXXFLAGS

This ordering makes it possible to override the flags set by the
configure script both during and after configuration, with
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS and EXTRA_CFLAGS/EXTRA_CXXFLAGS, respectively.

This resolves #504.

2319152d9f jemalloc cpp new/delete bindings
Adds cpp bindings for jemalloc, along with necessary autoconf settings.
This is mostly to add sized deallocation support, which can't be added
from C directly.  Sized deallocation is ~10% microbench improvement.

* Import ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 from the autoconf repo, seems like the
  easiest way to get c++14 detection.
* Adds various other changes, like CXXFLAGS, to configure.ac.
* Adds new rules to Makefile.in for src/jemalloc-cpp.cpp, and a basic
  unittest.
* Both new and delete are overridden, to ensure jemalloc is used for
  both.
* TODO future enhancement of avoiding extra PLT thunks for new and
  delete - sdallocx and malloc are publicly exported jemalloc symbols,
  using an alias would link them directly.  Unfortunately, was having
  trouble getting it to play nice with jemalloc's namespace support.

Testing:
Tested gcc 4.8, gcc 5, gcc 5.2, clang 4.0.  Only gcc >= 5 has sized
deallocation support, verified that the rest build correctly.

Tested mac osx and Centos.

Tested --with-jemalloc-prefix and --without-export.

This resolves #202.
