With `--with-jemalloc-prefix=` and without `-fno-builtin` or `-O1` both clang and gcc may optimize out `malloc` calls
whose result is unused. Comparing result to NULL also doesn't necessarily count as being used.
This won't be a problem in most client programs as this only concerns really unused pointers, but in
tests it's important to actually execute allocations.
`-fno-builtin` should disable this optimization for both gcc and clang, and applying it only to tests code shouldn't hopefully be an issue.
Another alternative is to force "use" of result but that'd require more changes and may miss some other optimization-related issues.
This should resolve https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/2091
Add new runtime option `debug_double_free_max_scan` that specifies the max
number of stack entries to scan in the cache bit when trying to detect the
double free bug (currently debug build only).
In arena_stats_merge() first nmalloc was read, and after ndalloc.
However with this order, it is possible for some thread to incement
ndalloc in between, and then nmalloc < ndalloc, and assertion will fail,
like again found by ClickHouse CI [1] (even after #2234).

Swap the order to avoid possible assertion.

The option makes jemalloc use prctl with PR_SET_VMA to tag memory mappings with
"jemalloc_pg" or "jemalloc_pg_overcommit". This allows to easily identify
jemalloc's mappings in /proc/<pid>/maps. PR_SET_VMA is only available in Linux
5.17 and above.
At the time an attempt to compile jemalloc 5.3.0 with MSVC 2019 results in the followin error message:
> jemalloc/include/jemalloc/internal/edata.h:660: error C4576: a parenthesized type followed by an initializer list is a non-standard explicit type conversion syntax
Default SEC max_alloc option value was 32k, disabling SEC for platforms with
lg-page=16. This change enables SEC for all platforms, making minimum max_alloc
value equal to PAGE.
Due to a bug in sec initialization, the number of cached size classes
was equal to 198. The bug caused the creation of more than a hundred of
unused bins, although it didn't affect the caching logic.
Before this commit, in case FreeBSD libc jemalloc was overridden by another
jemalloc, proper thread shutdown callback was involved only for the overriding
jemalloc. A call to _malloc_thread_cleanup from libthr would be redirected to
user jemalloc, leaving data about dead threads hanging in system jemalloc. This
change tackles the issue in two ways. First, for current and old system
jemallocs, which we can not modify, the overriding jemalloc would locate and
invoke system cleanup routine. For upcoming jemalloc integrations, the cleanup
registering function will also be redirected to user jemalloc, which means that
system jemalloc's cleanup routine will be registered in user's jemalloc and a
single call to _malloc_thread_cleanup will be sufficient to invoke both
callbacks.
