Migrate all centralized data structures related to huge allocations and
recyclable chunks into arena_t, so that each arena can manage huge
allocations and recyclable virtual memory completely independently of
other arenas.
Add chunk node caching to arenas, in order to avoid contention on the
base allocator.
Use chunks_rtree to look up huge allocations rather than a red-black
tree. Maintain a per arena unsorted list of huge allocations (which
will be needed to enumerate huge allocations during arena reset).
Remove the --enable-ivsalloc option, make ivsalloc() always available,
and use it for size queries if --enable-debug is enabled. The only
practical implications to this removal are that 1) ivsalloc() is now
always available during live debugging (and the underlying radix tree is
available during core-based debugging), and 2) size query validation can
no longer be enabled independent of --enable-debug.
Remove the stats.chunks.{current,total,high} mallctls, and replace their
underlying statistics with simpler atomically updated counters used
exclusively for gdump triggering. These statistics are no longer very
useful because each arena manages chunks independently, and per arena
statistics provide similar information.
Simplify chunk synchronization code, now that base chunk allocation
cannot cause recursive lock acquisition.
These functions may be available as inlines or as libgcc functions. In the
former case, a __GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_n macro is defined. But we
still want to use these functions in the latter case, when we don't have
our own implementation.
Remove ephemeral mutexes from the prof machinery, and remove
malloc_mutex_destroy(). This simplifies mutex management on systems
that call malloc()/free() inside pthread_mutex_{create,destroy}().
Add atomic_*_u() for operation on unsigned values.
Fix prof_printf() to call malloc_vsnprintf() rather than
malloc_snprintf().
Program-generate small size class tables for all valid combinations of
LG_TINY_MIN, LG_QUANTUM, and PAGE_SHIFT. Use the appropriate table to generate
all relevant data structures, and remove the distinction between
tiny/quantum/cacheline/subpage bins.
Remove --enable-dynamic-page-shift. This option didn't prove useful in
practice, and it prevented optimizations.
Add Tilera architecture support.
