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.

c86c8f4ffb Add extent_destroy_t and use it during arena destruction.
Add the extent_destroy_t extent destruction hook to extent_hooks_t, and
use it during arena destruction.  This hook explicitly communicates to
the callee that the extent must be destroyed or tracked for later reuse,
lest it be permanently leaked.  Prior to this change, retained extents
could unintentionally be leaked if extent retention was enabled.

This resolves #560.

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.

b2a8453a3f Remove --disable-tls.

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.

881fbf762f Prefer old/low extent_t structures during reuse.
Rather than using a LIFO queue to track available extent_t structures,
use a red-black tree, and always choose the oldest/lowest available
during reuse.

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.

removed in 6.0.0).

a0dd3a4483 Implement per arena base allocators.
Add/rename related mallctls:
- Add stats.arenas.<i>.base .
- Rename stats.arenas.<i>.metadata to stats.arenas.<i>.internal .
- Add stats.arenas.<i>.resident .

Modify the arenas.extend mallctl to take an optional (extent_hooks_t *)
argument so that it is possible for all base allocations to be serviced
by the specified extent hooks.

This resolves #463.

a6e86810d8 Refactor purging and splitting/merging.
Split purging into lazy and forced variants.  Use the forced variant for
zeroing dss.

Add support for NULL function pointers as an opt-out mechanism for the
dalloc, commit, decommit, purge_lazy, purge_forced, split, and merge
fields of extent_hooks_t.

Add short-circuiting checks in large_ralloc_no_move_{shrink,expand}() so
that no attempt is made if splitting/merging is not supported.

This resolves #268.

d4ce47e7fb Change html manual encoding to UTF-8.
This works around GitHub's broken automatic reformatting from ISO-8859-1
to UTF-8 when serving static html.

Remove <parameter/> from e.g. <function>malloc<parameter/></function>,
add a custom template that does not append parentheses, and manually
specify them, e.g. <function>malloc()</function>.  This works around
apparently broken XSL formatting that causes <code/> to be emitted in
html (rather than <code></code>, or better yet, nothing).
