a11be50332 Implement opt.cache_oblivious.
Keep config.cache_oblivious for now to remain backward-compatible.

40cf71a06d Remove --with-slab-maxregs options from INSTALL.md
The variable slab sizes feature is still experimental; we don't want people to
start using it willy-nilly, or document its existence as a guarantee.

1541ffc765 configure: add --with-lg-slab-maxregs configure option.
Specify the maximum number of regions in a slab, which is
(<lg-page> - <lg-tiny-min>) by default. This increases the limit of slab sizes
specified by "slab_sizes" in malloc_conf. This should never be less than
the default value. The max value of this option is related to LG_BITMAP_MAXBITS
(see more in bitmap.h).

For example, on a 4k page size system, if we:
  1) configure jemalloc with with --with-lg-slab-maxregs=12.
  2) export MALLOC_CONF="slab_sizes:9-16:4"
The slab size of 16 bytes is set to 4 pages. Previously, the default
lg-slab-maxregs is 9 (i.e. 12 - 3). The max slab size of 16 bytes is 2 pages
(i.e. (1<<9) * 16 bytes). By increasing the value from 9 to 12, the max slab
size can be set by MALLOC_CONF is 16 pages (i.e. (1<<12) * 16 bytes).

This appears to be unused.

b001e6e740 INSTALL.md: Clarify --with-lg-vaddr.
The current wording can be taken to imply that we return tagged pointers to the
user, or otherwise rely on architectural support for them.

63712b4c4e configure: Add --with-lg-vaddr configure option.
This patch allows to override the lg-vaddr values, which
are defined by the build machine's CPUID information (x86_64)
or default values (other architectures like aarch64).

a62e42baeb Add the --disable-initial-exec-tls configure option.
Right now we always make our TLS use the initial-exec model if the compiler
supports it.  This change allows configure-time disabling of this setting, which
can be helpful when dynamically loading jemalloc is the only option.

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.
