2662ba5449 Stop forcing --enable-munmap on MinGW.
This is no longer necessary because of the more general chunk
merge/split approach to dealing with map coalescing.

d059b9d6a1 Implement support for non-coalescing maps on MinGW.
- Do not reallocate huge objects in place if the number of backing
  chunks would change.
- Do not cache multi-chunk mappings.

This resolves #213.

8a03cf039c Implement cache index randomization for large allocations.
Extract szad size quantization into {extent,run}_quantize(), and .
quantize szad run sizes to the union of valid small region run sizes and
large run sizes.

Refactor iteration in arena_run_first_fit() to use
run_quantize{,_first,_next(), and add support for padded large runs.

For large allocations that have no specified alignment constraints,
compute a pseudo-random offset from the beginning of the first backing
page that is a multiple of the cache line size.  Under typical
configurations with 4-KiB pages and 64-byte cache lines this results in
a uniform distribution among 64 page boundary offsets.

Add the --disable-cache-oblivious option, primarily intended for
performance testing.

This resolves #13.

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.

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.

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.

4d434adb14 Make dss non-optional, and fix an "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl bug.
Make dss non-optional on all platforms which support sbrk(2).

Fix the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl to return an error if "primary" or
"secondary" precedence is specified, but sbrk(2) is not supported.

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.

9906660eb7 Allow to build without exporting symbols
When statically linking jemalloc, it may be beneficial not to export its
symbols if it makes sense, which allows the compiler and the linker to do
some further optimizations.

2e671ffbad Add the --enable-mremap option.
Add the --enable-mremap option, and disable the use of mremap(2) by
default, for the same reason that freeing chunks via munmap(2) is
disabled by default on Linux: semi-permanent VM map fragmentation.

122449b073 Implement Valgrind support, redzones, and quarantine.
Implement Valgrind support, as well as the redzone and quarantine
features, which help Valgrind detect memory errors.  Redzones are only
implemented for small objects because the changes necessary to support
redzones around large and huge objects are complicated by in-place
reallocation, to the point that it isn't clear that the maintenance
burden is worth the incremental improvement to Valgrind support.

Merge arena_salloc() and arena_salloc_demote().

Refactor i[v]salloc() to expose the 'demote' option.

0a5489e37d Add --with-mangling.
Add the --with-mangling configure option, which can be used to specify
name mangling on a per public symbol basis that takes precedence over
--with-jemalloc-prefix.

Expose the memalign() and valloc() overrides even if
--with-jemalloc-prefix is specified.  This change does no real harm, and
simplifies the code.

b172610317 Simplify small size class infrastructure.
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.

ef8897b4b9 Make 8-byte tiny size class non-optional.
When tiny size class support was first added, it was intended to support
truly tiny size classes (even 2 bytes).  However, this wasn't very
useful in practice, so the minimum tiny size class has been limited to
sizeof(void *) for a long time now.  This is too small to be standards
compliant, but other commonly used malloc implementations do not even
bother using a 16-byte quantum  on systems with vector units (SSE2+,
AltiVEC, etc.).  As such, it is safe in practice to support an 8-byte
tiny size class on 64-bit systems that support 16-byte types.

0fee70d718 Do not enable lazy locking by default.
Do not enable lazy locking by default, because:
- It's fragile (applications can subvert detection of multi-threaded
  mode).
- Thread caching amortizes locking overhead in the default
  configuration.
