5b8ed5b7c9 Implement the prof.gdump mallctl.
This feature makes it possible to toggle the gdump feature on/off during
program execution, whereas the the opt.prof_dump mallctl value can only
be set during program startup.

This resolves #72.

4581b97809 Implement metadata statistics.
There are three categories of metadata:

- Base allocations are used for bootstrap-sensitive internal allocator
  data structures.
- Arena chunk headers comprise pages which track the states of the
  non-metadata pages.
- Internal allocations differ from application-originated allocations
  in that they are for internal use, and that they are omitted from heap
  profiles.

The metadata statistics comprise the metadata categories as follows:

- stats.metadata: All metadata -- base + arena chunk headers + internal
  allocations.
- stats.arenas.<i>.metadata.mapped: Arena chunk headers.
- stats.arenas.<i>.metadata.allocated: Internal allocations.  This is
  reported separately from the other metadata statistics because it
  overlaps with the allocated and active statistics, whereas the other
  metadata statistics do not.

Base allocations are not reported separately, though their magnitude can
be computed by subtracting the arena-specific metadata.

This resolves #163.

10aff3f3e1 Refactor bootstrapping to delay tsd initialization.
Refactor bootstrapping to delay tsd initialization, primarily to support
integration with FreeBSD's libc.

Refactor a0*() for internal-only use, and add the
bootstrap_{malloc,calloc,free}() API for use by FreeBSD's libc.  This
separation limits use of the a0*() functions to metadata allocation,
which doesn't require malloc/calloc/free API compatibility.

This resolves #170.

2c5cb613df Introduce two new modes of junk filling: "alloc" and "free".
In addition to true/false, opt.junk can now be either "alloc" or "free",
giving applications the possibility of junking memory only on allocation
or deallocation.

This resolves #172.

c002a5c800 Fix two quarantine regressions.
Fix quarantine to actually update tsd when expanding, and to avoid
double initialization (leaking the first quarantine) due to recursive
initialization.

8bb3198f72 Refactor/fix arenas manipulation.
Abstract arenas access to use arena_get() (or a0get() where appropriate)
rather than directly reading e.g. arenas[ind].  Prior to the addition of
the arenas.extend mallctl, the worst possible outcome of directly
accessing arenas was a stale read, but arenas.extend may allocate and
assign a new array to arenas.

Add a tsd-based arenas_cache, which amortizes arenas reads.  This
introduces some subtle bootstrapping issues, with tsd_boot() now being
split into tsd_boot[01]() to support tsd wrapper allocation
bootstrapping, as well as an arenas_cache_bypass tsd variable which
dynamically terminates allocation of arenas_cache itself.

Promote a0malloc(), a0calloc(), and a0free() to be generally useful for
internal allocation, and use them in several places (more may be
appropriate).

Abstract arena->nthreads management and fix a missing decrement during
thread destruction (recent tsd refactoring left arenas_cleanup()
unused).

Change arena_choose() to propagate OOM, and handle OOM in all callers.
This is important for providing consistent allocation behavior when the
MALLOCX_ARENA() flag is being used.  Prior to this fix, it was possible
for an OOM to result in allocation silently allocating from a different
arena than the one specified.

155bfa7da1 Normalize size classes.
Normalize size classes to use the same number of size classes per size
doubling (currently hard coded to 4), across the intire range of size
classes.  Small size classes already used this spacing, but in order to
support this change, additional small size classes now fill [4 KiB .. 16
KiB).  Large size classes range from [16 KiB .. 4 MiB).  Huge size
classes now support non-multiples of the chunk size in order to fill (4
MiB .. 16 MiB).

029d44cf8b Fix tsd cleanup regressions.
Fix tsd cleanup regressions that were introduced in
5460aa6f66 (Convert all tsd variables to
reside in a single tsd structure.).  These regressions were twofold:

1) tsd_tryget() should never (and need never) return NULL.  Rename it to
   tsd_fetch() and simplify all callers.
2) tsd_*_set() must only be called when tsd is in the nominal state,
   because cleanup happens during the nominal-->purgatory transition,
   and re-initialization must not happen while in the purgatory state.
   Add tsd_nominal() and use it as needed.  Note that tsd_*{p,}_get()
   can still be used as long as no re-initialization that would require
   cleanup occurs.  This means that e.g. the thread_allocated counter
   can be updated unconditionally.

0c5dd03e88 Move small run metadata into the arena chunk header.
Move small run metadata into the arena chunk header, with multiple
expected benefits:
- Lower run fragmentation due to reduced run sizes; runs are more likely
  to completely drain when there are fewer total regions.
- Improved cache behavior.  Prior to this change, run headers were
  always page-aligned, which put extra pressure on some CPU cache sets.
  The degree to which this was a problem was hardware dependent, but it
  likely hurt some even for the most advanced modern hardware.
- Buffer overruns/underruns are less likely to corrupt allocator
  metadata.
- Size classes between 4 KiB and 16 KiB become reasonable to support
  without any special handling, and the runs are small enough that dirty
  unused pages aren't a significant concern.

6e73dc194e Fix a profile sampling race.
Fix a profile sampling race that was due to preparing to sample, yet
doing nothing to assure that the context remains valid until the stats
are updated.

These regressions were caused by
602c8e0971 (Implement per thread heap
profiling.), which did not make it into any releases prior to these
fixes.

4cfe55166e Add support for sized deallocation.
This adds a new `sdallocx` function to the external API, allowing the
size to be passed by the caller.  It avoids some extra reads in the
thread cache fast path.  In the case where stats are enabled, this
avoids the work of calculating the size from the pointer.

An assertion validates the size that's passed in, so enabling debugging
will allow users of the API to debug cases where an incorrect size is
passed in.

The performance win for a contrived microbenchmark doing an allocation
and immediately freeing it is ~10%.  It may have a different impact on a
real workload.

Closes #28

602c8e0971 Implement per thread heap profiling.
Rename data structures (prof_thr_cnt_t-->prof_tctx_t,
prof_ctx_t-->prof_gctx_t), and convert to storing a prof_tctx_t for
sampled objects.

Convert PROF_ALLOC_PREP() to prof_alloc_prep(), since precise backtrace
depth within jemalloc functions is no longer an issue (pprof prunes
irrelevant frames).

Implement mallctl's:
- prof.reset implements full sample data reset, and optional change of
  sample interval.
- prof.lg_sample reads the current sample interval (opt.lg_prof_sample
  was the permanent source of truth prior to prof.reset).
- thread.prof.name provides naming capability for threads within heap
  profile dumps.
- thread.prof.active makes it possible to activate/deactivate heap
  profiling for individual threads.

Modify the heap dump files to contain per thread heap profile data.
This change is incompatible with the existing pprof, which will require
enhancements to read and process the enriched data.

e2deab7a75 Refactor huge allocation to be managed by arenas.
Refactor huge allocation to be managed by arenas (though the global
red-black tree of huge allocations remains for lookup during
deallocation).  This is the logical conclusion of recent changes that 1)
made per arena dss precedence apply to huge allocation, and 2) made it
possible to replace the per arena chunk allocation/deallocation
functions.

Remove the top level huge stats, and replace them with per arena huge
stats.

Normalize function names and types to *dalloc* (some were *dealloc*).

Remove the --enable-mremap option.  As jemalloc currently operates, this
is a performace regression for some applications, but planned work to
logarithmically space huge size classes should provide similar amortized
performance.  The motivation for this change was that mremap-based huge
reallocation forced leaky abstractions that prevented refactoring.

9b0cbf0850 Remove support for non-prof-promote heap profiling metadata.
Make promotion of sampled small objects to large objects mandatory, so
that profiling metadata can always be stored in the chunk map, rather
than requiring one pointer per small region in each small-region page
run.  In practice the non-prof-promote code was only useful when using
jemalloc to track all objects and report them as leaks at program exit.
However, Valgrind is at least as good a tool for this particular use
case.

Furthermore, the non-prof-promote code is getting in the way of
some optimizations that will make heap profiling much cheaper for the
predominant use case (sampling a small representative proportion of all
allocations).

b2c31660be Extract profiling code from [re]allocation functions.
Extract profiling code from malloc(), imemalign(), calloc(), realloc(),
mallocx(), rallocx(), and xallocx().  This slightly reduces the amount
of code compiled into the fast paths, but the primary benefit is the
combinatorial complexity reduction.

Simplify iralloc[t]() by creating a separate ixalloc() that handles the
no-move cases.

Further simplify [mrxn]allocx() (and by implication [mrn]allocm()) to
make request size overflows due to size class and/or alignment
constraints trigger undefined behavior (detected by debug-only
assertions).

Report ENOMEM rather than EINVAL if an OOM occurs during heap profiling
backtrace creation in imemalign().  This bug impacted posix_memalign()
and aligned_alloc().

d82a5e6a34 Implement the *allocx() API.
Implement the *allocx() API, which is a successor to the *allocm() API.
The *allocx() functions are slightly simpler to use because they have
fewer parameters, they directly return the results of primary interest,
and mallocx()/rallocx() avoid the strict aliasing pitfall that
allocm()/rallocx() share with posix_memalign().  The following code
violates strict aliasing rules:

    foo_t *foo;
    allocm((void **)&foo, NULL, 42, 0);

whereas the following is safe:

    foo_t *foo;
    void *p;
    allocm(&p, NULL, 42, 0);
    foo = (foo_t *)p;

mallocx() does not have this problem:

    foo_t *foo = (foo_t *)mallocx(42, 0);

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.
