8fadb1a8c2 Implement chunk hook support for page run commit/decommit.
Cascade from decommit to purge when purging unused dirty pages, so that
it is possible to decommit cleaned memory rather than just purging.  For
non-Windows debug builds, decommit runs rather than purging them, since
this causes access of deallocated runs to segfault.

This resolves #251.

cbf3a6d703 Move centralized chunk management into arenas.
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.

879e76a9e5 teach the dss chunk allocator to handle new_addr
This provides in-place expansion of huge allocations when the end of the
allocation is at the end of the sbrk heap. There's already the ability
to extend in-place via recycled chunks but this handles the initial
growth of the heap via repeated vector / string reallocations.

A possible future extension could allow realloc to go from the following:

    | huge allocation | recycled chunks |
                                        ^ dss_end

To a larger allocation built from recycled *and* new chunks:

    |                      huge allocation                      |
                                                                ^ dss_end

Doing that would involve teaching the chunk recycling code to request
new chunks to satisfy the request. The chunk_dss code wouldn't require
any further changes.

    #include <stdlib.h>

    int main(void) {
        size_t chunk = 4 * 1024 * 1024;
        void *ptr = NULL;
        for (size_t size = chunk; size < chunk * 128; size *= 2) {
            ptr = realloc(ptr, size);
            if (!ptr) return 1;
        }
    }

dss:secondary: 0.083s
dss:primary: 0.083s

After:

dss:secondary: 0.083s
dss:primary: 0.003s

The dss heap grows in the upwards direction, so the oldest chunks are at
the low addresses and they are used first. Linux prefers to grow the
mmap heap downwards, so the trick will not work in the *current* mmap
chunk allocator as a huge allocation will only be at the top of the heap
in a contrived case.

2a83ed0284 Refactor tests.
Refactor tests to use explicit testing assertions, rather than diff'ing
test output.  This makes the test code a bit shorter, more explicitly
encodes testing intent, and makes test failure diagnosis more
straightforward.

609ae595f0 Add arena-specific and selective dss allocation.
Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, so that it is possible to create new
arenas that are outside the set that jemalloc automatically multiplexes
threads onto.

Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm(), so that it is possible
to explicitly allocate from a particular arena.

Add the "opt.dss" mallctl, which controls the default precedence of dss
allocation relative to mmap allocation.

Add the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl, which makes it possible to set the
default dss precedence on a per arena or global basis.

Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge".

Add the "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctl.

7ca0fdfb85 Disable munmap() if it causes VM map holes.
Add a configure test to determine whether common mmap()/munmap()
patterns cause VM map holes, and only use munmap() to discard unused
chunks if the problem does not exist.

Unify the chunk caching for mmap and dss.

Fix options processing to limit lg_chunk to be large enough that
redzones will always fit.

4e2e3dd9cf Fix fork-related bugs.
Acquire/release arena bin locks as part of the prefork/postfork.  This
bug made deadlock in the child between fork and exec a possibility.

Split jemalloc_postfork() into jemalloc_postfork_{parent,child}() so
that the child can reinitialize mutexes rather than unlocking them.  In
practice, this bug tended not to cause problems.

7372b15a31 Reduce cpp conditional logic complexity.
Convert configuration-related cpp conditional logic to use static
constant variables, e.g.:

  #ifdef JEMALLOC_DEBUG
    [...]
  #endif

becomes:

  if (config_debug) {
    [...]
  }

The advantage is clearer, more concise code.  The main disadvantage is
that data structures no longer have conditionally defined fields, so
they pay the cost of all fields regardless of whether they are used.  In
practice, this is only a minor concern; config_stats will go away in an
upcoming change, and config_prof is the only other major feature that
depends on more than a few special-purpose fields.
