e4f090e8df Add opt.thp which allows explicit hugepage usage.
"always" marks all user mappings as MADV_HUGEPAGE; while "never" marks all
mappings as MADV_NOHUGEPAGE. The default setting "default" does not change any
settings.  Note that all the madvise calls are part of the default extent hooks
by design, so that customized extent hooks have complete control over the
mappings including hugepage settings.

bbaa72422b Add pages_dontdump and pages_dodump.
This will, eventually, enable us to avoid dumping eden regions.

8fdd9a5797 Implement opt.metadata_thp
This option enables transparent huge page for base allocators (require
MADV_HUGEPAGE support).

77cccac8cd Break up headers into constituent parts
This is part of a broader change to make header files better represent the
dependencies between one another (see
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/533). It breaks up component headers
into smaller parts that can be made to have a simpler dependency graph.

For the autogenerated headers (smoothstep.h and size_classes.h), no splitting
was necessary, so I didn't add support to emit multiple headers.

a6e86810d8 Refactor purging and splitting/merging.
Split purging into lazy and forced variants.  Use the forced variant for
zeroing dss.

Add support for NULL function pointers as an opt-out mechanism for the
dalloc, commit, decommit, purge_lazy, purge_forced, split, and merge
fields of extent_hooks_t.

Add short-circuiting checks in large_ralloc_no_move_{shrink,expand}() so
that no attempt is made if splitting/merging is not supported.

This resolves #268.

c1baa0a9b7 Add huge page configuration and pages_[no}huge().
Add the --with-lg-hugepage configure option, but automatically configure
LG_HUGEPAGE even if it isn't specified.

Add the pages_[no]huge() functions, which toggle huge page state via
madvise(..., MADV_[NO]HUGEPAGE) calls.

c2f970c32b Modify pages_map() to support mapping uncommitted virtual memory.
If the OS overcommits:
- Commit all mappings in pages_map() regardless of whether the caller
  requested committed memory.
- Linux-specific: Specify MAP_NORESERVE to avoid
  unfortunate interactions with heuristic overcommit mode during
  fork(2).

This resolves #193.

b49a334a64 Generalize chunk management hooks.
Add the "arena.<i>.chunk_hooks" mallctl, which replaces and expands on
the "arena.<i>.chunk.{alloc,dalloc,purge}" mallctls.  The chunk hooks
allow control over chunk allocation/deallocation, decommit/commit,
purging, and splitting/merging, such that the application can rely on
jemalloc's internal chunk caching and retaining functionality, yet
implement a variety of chunk management mechanisms and policies.

Merge the chunks_[sz]ad_{mmap,dss} red-black trees into
chunks_[sz]ad_retained.  This slightly reduces how hard jemalloc tries
to honor the dss precedence setting; prior to this change the precedence
setting was also consulted when recycling chunks.

Fix chunk purging.  Don't purge chunks in arena_purge_stashed(); instead
deallocate them in arena_unstash_purged(), so that the dirty memory
linkage remains valid until after the last time it is used.

This resolves #176 and #201.
