e0a08a1496 Restore --enable-ivsalloc.
However, unlike before it was removed do not force --enable-ivsalloc
when Darwin zone allocator integration is enabled, since the zone
allocator code uses ivsalloc() regardless of whether
malloc_usable_size() and sallocx() do.

This resolves #211.

d37d5adee4 Disable floating point code/linking when possible.
Unless heap profiling is enabled, disable floating point code and don't
link with libm.  This, in combination with e.g. EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mno-sse on
x64 systems, makes it possible to completely disable floating point
register use.  Some versions of glibc neglect to save/restore
caller-saved floating point registers during dynamic lazy symbol
loading, and the symbol loading code uses whatever malloc the
application happens to have linked/loaded with, the result being
potential floating point register corruption.

86abd0dcd8 Refactor to support more varied testing.
Refactor the test harness to support three types of tests:
- unit: White box unit tests.  These tests have full access to all
  internal jemalloc library symbols.  Though in actuality all symbols
  are prefixed by jet_, macro-based name mangling abstracts this away
  from test code.
- integration: Black box integration tests.  These tests link with
  the installable shared jemalloc library, and with the exception of
  some utility code and configure-generated macro definitions, they have
  no access to jemalloc internals.
- stress: Black box stress tests.  These tests link with the installable
  shared jemalloc library, as well as with an internal allocator with
  symbols prefixed by jet_ (same as for unit tests) that can be used to
  allocate data structures that are internal to the test code.

Move existing tests into test/{unit,integration}/ as appropriate.

Split out internal parts of jemalloc_defs.h.in and put them in
jemalloc_internal_defs.h.in.  This reduces internals exposure to
applications that #include <jemalloc/jemalloc.h>.

Refactor jemalloc.h header generation so that a single header file
results, and the prototypes can be used to generate jet_ prototypes for
tests.  Split jemalloc.h.in into multiple parts (jemalloc_defs.h.in,
jemalloc_macros.h.in, jemalloc_protos.h.in, jemalloc_mangle.h.in) and
use a shell script to generate a unified jemalloc.h at configure time.

Change the default private namespace prefix from "" to "je_".

Add missing private namespace mangling.

Remove hard-coded private_namespace.h.  Instead generate it and
private_unnamespace.h from private_symbols.txt.  Use similar logic for
public symbols, which aids in name mangling for jet_ symbols.

Add test_warn() and test_fail().  Replace existing exit(1) calls with
test_fail() calls.

7b65180b32 Fix a race condition in the "arenas.extend" mallctl.
Fix a race condition in the "arenas.extend" mallctl that could lead to
internal data structure corruption.  The race could be hit if one
thread called the "arenas.extend" mallctl while another thread
concurrently triggered initialization of one of the lazily created
arenas.

a7a28c334e Fix a chunk recycling bug.
Fix a chunk recycling bug that could cause the allocator to lose track
of whether a chunk was zeroed.  On FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OS X, it could
cause corruption if allocating via sbrk(2) (unlikely unless running with
the "dss:primary" option specified).  This was completely harmless on
Linux unless using mlockall(2) (and unlikely even then, unless the
--disable-munmap configure option or the "dss:primary" option was
specified).  This regression was introduced in 3.1.0 by the
mlockall(2)/madvise(2) interaction fix.

d0e942e466 Fix two quarantine bugs.
Internal reallocation of the quarantined object array leaked the old array.

Reallocation failure for internal reallocation of the quarantined object
array (very unlikely) resulted in memory corruption.

bbe29d374d Fix potential TLS-related memory corruption.
Avoid writing to uninitialized TLS as a side effect of deallocation.
Initializing TLS during deallocation is unsafe because it is possible
that a thread never did any allocation, and that TLS has already been
deallocated by the threads library, resulting in write-after-free
corruption.  These fixes affect prof_tdata and quarantine; all other
uses of TLS are already safe, whether intentionally (as for tcache) or
unintentionally (as for arenas).

1271185b87 Fix chunk_recycle() Valgrind integration.
Fix chunk_recycyle() to unconditionally inform Valgrind that returned
memory is undefined.  This fixes Valgrind warnings that would result
from a huge allocation being freed, then recycled for use as an arena
chunk.  The arena code would write metadata to the chunk header, and
Valgrind would consider these invalid writes.

e3d13060c8 Purge unused dirty pages in a fragmentation-reducing order.
Purge unused dirty pages in an order that first performs clean/dirty run
defragmentation, in order to mitigate available run fragmentation.

Remove the limitation that prevented purging unless at least one chunk
worth of dirty pages had accumulated in an arena.  This limitation was
intended to avoid excessive purging for small applications, but the
threshold was arbitrary, and the effect of questionable utility.

Relax opt_lg_dirty_mult from 5 to 3.  This compensates for increased
likelihood of allocating clean runs, given the same ratio of clean:dirty
runs, and reduces the potential for repeated purging in pathological
large malloc/free loops that push the active:dirty page ratio just over
the purge threshold.

d8ceef6c55 Fix large calloc() zeroing bugs.
Refactor code such that arena_mapbits_{large,small}_set() always
preserves the unzeroed flag, and manually manipulate the unzeroed flag
in the one case where it actually gets reset (in arena_chunk_purge()).
This fixes unzeroed preservation bugs in arena_run_split() and
arena_ralloc_large_grow().  These bugs caused large calloc() to return
non-zeroed memory under some circumstances.
