Adding guarded extents, which are regular extents surrounded by guard pages
(mprotected). To reduce syscalls, small guarded extents are cached as a
separate eset in ecache, and decay through the dirty / muzzy / retained pipeline
as usual.
This change allows every allocator conforming to PAI communicate that it
deferred some work for the future. Without it if a background thread goes into
indefinite sleep, there is no way to notify it about upcoming deferred work.
Previously the calculation of sleep time between wakeups was implemented within
background_thread. This resulted in some parts of decay and hpa specific
logic mixing with background thread implementation. In this change, background
thread delegates this calculation to arena and it, in turn, delegates it to PAI.
The next step is to implement the actual calculation of time until deferred work
in HPA.
This change pulls the SEC options into a struct, which simplifies their handling
across various modules (e.g. PA needs to forward on SEC options from the
malloc_conf string, but it doesn't really need to know their names). While
we're here, make some of the fixed constants configurable, and unify naming from
the configuration options to the internals.
Currently that just means max_alloc, but we're about to add more. While we're
touching these lines anyways, tweak things to be more in line with testing.
For now, this is just a stub containing the ecaches, with no surrounding code
changed. Eventually all the core allocator bits will be moved in, in the
subsequent stack of commits.
Now that we've moved junking to a higher level of the allocation stack, we don't
care about this performance optimization (which only occurred in debug modes).
This distinguishes it from the PA mapped stat, which is now named "pa_mapped" to
avoid confusion. The (derived) arena stat includes base memory, and the PA stat
is no longer partially derived.
