e4f090e8df Add opt.thp which allows explicit hugepage usage.
"always" marks all user mappings as MADV_HUGEPAGE; while "never" marks all
mappings as MADV_NOHUGEPAGE. The default setting "default" does not change any
settings.  Note that all the madvise calls are part of the default extent hooks
by design, so that customized extent hooks have complete control over the
mappings including hugepage settings.

4bf4a1c4ea Pull out arena_bin_info_t and arena_bin_t into their own file.
In the process, kill arena_bin_index, which is unused.  To follow are several
diffs continuing this separation.

fac706836f Add opt.lg_extent_max_active_fit
When allocating from dirty extents (which we always prefer if available), large
active extents can get split even if the new allocation is much smaller, in
which case the introduced fragmentation causes high long term damage.  This new
option controls the threshold to reuse and split an existing active extent.  We
avoid using a large extent for much smaller sizes, in order to reduce
fragmentation.  In some workload, adding the threshold improves virtual memory
usage by >10x.

e422fa8e7e Add arena.i.retain_grow_limit
This option controls the max size when grow_retained.  This is useful when we
have customized extent hooks reserving physical memory (e.g. 1G huge pages).
Without this feature, the default increasing sequence could result in fragmented
and wasted physical memory.

47b20bb654 Change opt.metadata_thp to [disabled,auto,always].
To avoid the high RSS caused by THP + low usage arena (i.e. THP becomes a
significant percentage), added a new "auto" option which will only start using
THP after a base allocator used up the first THP region.  Starting from the
second hugepage (in a single arena), "auto" behaves the same as "always",
i.e. madvise hugepage right away.

6e62c62862 Refactor *decay_time into *decay_ms.
Support millisecond resolution for decay times.  Among other use cases
this makes it possible to specify a short initial dirty-->muzzy decay
phase, followed by a longer muzzy-->clean decay phase.

This resolves #812.

c67c3e4a63 Replace --disable-munmap with opt.munmap.
Control use of munmap(2) via a run-time option rather than a
compile-time option (with the same per platform default).  The old
behavior of --disable-munmap can be achieved with
--with-malloc-conf=munmap:false.

This partially resolves #580.

4403c9ab44 Remove --disable-tcache.
Simplify configuration by removing the --disable-tcache option, but
replace the testing for that configuration with
--with-malloc-conf=tcache:false.

Fix the thread.arena and thread.tcache.flush mallctls to work correctly
if tcache is disabled.

This partially resolves #580.

64e458f5cd Implement two-phase decay-based purging.
Split decay-based purging into two phases, the first of which uses lazy
purging to convert dirty pages to "muzzy", and the second of which uses
forced purging, decommit, or unmapping to convert pages to clean or
destroy them altogether.  Not all operating systems support lazy
purging, yet the application may provide extent hooks that implement
lazy purging, so care must be taken to dynamically omit the first phase
when necessary.

The mallctl interfaces change as follows:
- opt.decay_time --> opt.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- arena.<i>.decay_time --> arena.<i>.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- arenas.decay_time --> arenas.{dirty,muzzy}_decay_time
- stats.arenas.<i>.pdirty --> stats.arenas.<i>.p{dirty,muzzy}
- stats.arenas.<i>.{npurge,nmadvise,purged} -->
  stats.arenas.<i>.{dirty,muzzy}_{npurge,nmadvise,purged}

This resolves #521.

ec532e2c5c Implement per-CPU arena.
The new feature, opt.percpu_arena, determines thread-arena association
dynamically based CPU id. Three modes are supported: "percpu", "phycpu"
and disabled.

"percpu" uses the current core id (with help from sched_getcpu())
directly as the arena index, while "phycpu" will assign threads on the
same physical CPU to the same arena. In other words, "percpu" means # of
arenas == # of CPUs, while "phycpu" has # of arenas == 1/2 * (# of
CPUs). Note that no runtime check on whether hyper threading is enabled
is added yet.

When enabled, threads will be migrated between arenas when a CPU change
is detected. In the current design, to reduce overhead from reading CPU
id, each arena tracks the thread accessed most recently. When a new
thread comes in, we will read CPU id and update arena if necessary.

9bad079039 Refactor time_* into nstime_*.
Use a single uint64_t in nstime_t to store nanoseconds rather than using
struct timespec.  This reduces fragility around conversions between long
and uint64_t, especially missing casts that only cause problems on
32-bit platforms.

8d6a3e8321 Implement dynamic per arena control over dirty page purging.
Add mallctls:
- arenas.lg_dirty_mult is initialized via opt.lg_dirty_mult, and can be
  modified to change the initial lg_dirty_mult setting for newly created
  arenas.
- arena.<i>.lg_dirty_mult controls an individual arena's dirty page
  purging threshold, and synchronously triggers any purging that may be
  necessary to maintain the constraint.
- arena.<i>.chunk.purge allows the per arena dirty page purging function
  to be replaced.

This resolves #93.

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).
