malloc_conf does not reliably work with MSVC, which complains of
"inconsistent dll linkage", i.e. its inability to support the
application overriding malloc_conf when dynamically linking/loading.
Work around this limitation by adding test harness support for per test
shell script sourcing, and converting all tests to use MALLOC_CONF
instead of malloc_conf.
Synchronize tcaches with tcaches_mtx rather than ctl_mtx. Add missing
synchronization for tcache flushing. This bug was introduced by
1cb181ed63 (Implement explicit tcache
support.), which was first released in 4.0.0.

Introduces gen_travis.py, which generates .travis.yml, and updates .travis.yml
to be the generated version.
The travis build matrix approach doesn't play well with mixing and matching
various different environment settings, so we generate every build explicitly,
rather than letting them do it for us.
To avoid abusing travis resources (and save us time waiting for CI results), we
don't test every possible combination of options; we only check up to 2 unusual
settings at a time.
Extent splitting and coalescing is a major component of large allocation
overhead, and disabling coalescing of cached extents provides a simple
and effective hysteresis mechanism. Once two-phase purging is
implemented, it will probably make sense to leave coalescing disabled
for the first phase, but coalesce during the second phase.
This avoids a gcc diagnostic note:
note: The ABI for passing parameters with 64-byte alignment has
changed in GCC 4.6
This note related to the cacheline alignment of rtree_ctx_t, which was
introduced by 4a346f5593 (Replace rtree
path cache with LRU cache.).
Fix extent_alloc_dss() to account for bytes that are not a multiple of
the page size. This regression was introduced by
577d4572b0 (Make dss operations
lockless.), which was first released in 4.3.0.
Fix rtree_subkey() to use uintptr_t rather than unsigned for key
bitmasking. This regression was introduced by
4a346f5593 (Replace rtree path cache with
LRU cache.).
Rather than dynamically building a table to aid per level computations,
define a constant table at compile time. Omit both high and low
insignificant bits. Use one to three tree levels, depending on the
number of significant bits.
Rework rtree_ctx_t to encapsulate an rtree leaf LRU lookup cache rather
than a single-path element lookup cache. The replacement is logically
much simpler, as well as slightly faster in the fast path case and less
prone to degraded performance during non-trivial sequences of lookups.
Read adjacent rtree elements while holding element locks, since the
extents mutex only protects against relevant like-state extent mutation.
Fix management of the 'coalesced' loop state variable to merge
forward/backward results, rather than overwriting the result of forward
coalescing if attempting to coalesce backward. In practice this caused
no correctness issues, but could cause extra iterations in rare cases.
These regressions were introduced by
d27f29b468 (Disentangle arena and extent
locking.).
Set extent as active prior to registration so that other threads can't
modify it in the absence of locking.
This regression was introduced by
d27f29b468 (Disentangle arena and extent
locking.), via non-obvious means. Removal of extents_mtx protection
during extent_grow_retained() execution opened up the race, but in the
presence of that locking, the code was safe.
This resolves#599.
Fix compute_size_with_overflow() to use a high_bits mask that has the
high bits set, rather than the low bits. This regression was introduced
by 5154ff32ee (Unify the allocation
paths).
Refactor arena and extent locking protocols such that arena and
extent locks are never held when calling into the extent_*_wrapper()
API. This requires extra care during purging since the arena lock no
longer protects the inner purging logic. It also requires extra care to
protect extents from being merged with adjacent extents.
Convert extent_t's 'active' flag to an enumerated 'state', so that
retained extents are explicitly marked as such, rather than depending on
ring linkage state.
Refactor the extent collections (and their synchronization) for cached
and retained extents into extents_t. Incorporate LRU functionality to
support purging. Incorporate page count accounting, which replaces
arena->ndirty and arena->stats.retained.
Assert that no core locks are held when entering any internal
[de]allocation functions. This is in addition to existing assertions
that no locks are held when entering external [de]allocation functions.
Audit and document synchronization protocols for all arena_t fields.
This fixes a potential deadlock due to recursive allocation during
gdump, in a similar fashion to b49c649bc1
(Fix lock order reversal during gdump.), but with a necessarily much
broader code impact.
Synchronize tcaches with tcaches_mtx rather than ctl_mtx. Add missing
synchronization for tcache flushing. This bug was introduced by
1cb181ed63 (Implement explicit tcache
support.), which was first released in 4.0.0.
This reduces the probability of allocating (and thereby indirectly
making a system call) while owning bt2gctx_mtx. Unfortunately it is an
incomplete solution, because ckh insertion/deletion can also
allocate/deallocate, which requires more extensive changes to address.
When multiple threads calling stats_print, race could happen as we read the
counters in separate mallctl calls; and the removed assertion could fail when
other operations happened in between the mallctl calls. For simplicity, output
"race" in the utilization field in this case.
In 6e7d0890 we added better travis continuous integration tests. This is nice,
but has two problems:
- We run only a subset of interesting tests.
- The travis builds can take hours to give us back results (especially on OS X).
This adds scripts/gen_run_tests.py, and its output, run_tests.sh, which builds
and runs a larger portion of possible configurations on the local machine.
While a travis run takes several hours to complete , I can run these scripts on
my (OS X) latop and (Linux) devserve, and get a more exhaustive set of results
back in around 10 minutes.

In the refactoring that unified the allocation paths, usize was substituted for
size. This worked fine under the default test configuration, but triggered
asserts when we started beefing up our CI testing.
This change fixes the issue, and clarifies the comment describing the argument
selection that it got wrong.
