Summary: sdallocx is checking a flag that will never be set (at least in the provided C++ destructor implementation). This branch will probably only rarely be mispredicted however it removes two instructions in sdallocx and one at the callsite (to zero out flags).
Previous logic of detecting main program addresses is to assume that
main executable is at least addressess. With PIE (active by default on
Ubuntus) it doesn't work.
In order to deal with that, we're attempting to find main executable
mapping in /proc/[pid]/maps. And old logic is preserved too just in
case.
Pass the retain and exclude parameters to the /pprof/symbol pprof server
endpoint so that the server has the opportunity to optimize which
symbols it looks up and/or returns mappings for.
Summary:
Currently an HTTP error response will still try to be parsed, resulting in these messages:
substr outside of string at /home/davejwatson/local/jemalloc-github/bin/jeprof line 3635, <PROFILE> line 1.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /home/davejwatson/local/jemalloc-github/bin/jeprof line 3635, <PROFILE> line 1.

/home/davejwatson/jeprof/server.1452638936.localhost.pprof.heap: header size >= 2**16
After this fix, curl will return an error status code that will be correctly checked at line 3536, resulting in this error message:
Failed to get profile: curl -s --fail 'http://localhost:4010/pprof/heap' > /home/davejwatson/jeprof/.tmp.server.1452639085.localhost.pprof.heap: No such file or directory
Test Plan:
Tested with MALLOC_CONF="prof:false". Also tested fetching symbols. Didn't test redirects, but this should only affect http error codes >= 400
This rename avoids installation collisions with the upstream gperftools.
Additionally, jemalloc's per thread heap profile functionality
introduced an incompatible file format, so it's now worthwhile to
clearly distinguish jemalloc's version of this script from the upstream
version.
This resolves#229.
