Fix huge_ralloc() to call huge_palloc() only if alignment requires it. This bug caused under-sized allocation for aligned huge reallocation (via rallocm()) if the requested alignment was less than the chunk size (4 MiB by default).

Restructure the ctx initialization code such that the ctx isn't locked across portions of the initialization code where allocation could occur. Instead artificially inflate the cnt_merged.curobjs field, just as is done elsewhere to avoid similar races to the one that would otherwise be created by the reduction in locking scope. This bug affected interval- and growth-triggered heap dumping, but not manual heap dumping.

If mremap(2) is available and supports MREMAP_FIXED, use it for huge realloc(). Initialize rtree later during bootstrapping, so that --enable-debug --enable-dss works. Fix a minor swap_avail stats bug.

Many mallctl*() end points require no locking, so push the locking down to just the functions that need it. This is of particular import for "thread.allocated" and "thread.deallocated", which are intended as a low-overhead way to introspect per thread allocation activity.

Fix a regression due to the recent heap profiling accuracy improvements: prof_{m,re}alloc() must set the object's profiling context regardless of whether it is sampled. Fix management of the CHUNK_MAP_CLASS chunk map bits, such that all large object (re-)allocation paths correctly initialize the bits. Prior to this fix, in-place realloc() cleared the bits, resulting in incorrect reported object size from arena_salloc_demote(). After this fix the non-demoted bit pattern is all zeros (instead of all ones), which makes it easier to assure that the bits are properly set.

Add the "thread.allocated" and "thread.deallocated" mallctls, which can be used to query the total number of bytes ever allocated/deallocated by the calling thread. Add s2u() and sa2u(), which can be used to compute the usable size that will result from an allocation request of a particular size/alignment. Re-factor ipalloc() to use sa2u(). Enhance the heap profiler to trigger samples based on usable size, rather than request size. This has a subtle, but important, impact on the accuracy of heap sampling. For example, previous to this change, 16- and 17-byte objects were sampled at nearly the same rate, but 17-byte objects actually consume 32 bytes each. Therefore it was possible for the sample to be somewhat skewed compared to actual memory usage of the allocated objects.

Fix the newsize argument to arena_run_trim_tail() that arena_dalloc_bin_run() passes. Previously, oldsize-newsize (i.e. the complement) was passed, which could erroneously cause dirty pages to be returned to the clean available runs tree. Prior to the CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED --> CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED conversion, this bug merely caused dirty pages to be unaccounted for (and therefore never get purged), but with CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED, this could cause dirty pages to be treated as zeroed (i.e. memory corruption).

Split arena_dissociate_bin_run() out of arena_dalloc_bin_run(), so that arena_bin_malloc_hard() can avoid dissociation when recovering from losing a race. This fixes a bug introduced by a recent attempted fix. Fix a regression in arena_ralloc_large_grow() that was introduced by recent fixes.

In arena_ralloc_large_grow(), update the map element for the end of the newly grown run, rather than the interior map element that was the beginning of the appended run. This is a long-standing bug, and it had the potential to cause massive corruption, but triggering it required roughly the following sequence of events: 1) Large in-place growing realloc(), with left-over space in the run that followed the large object. 2) Allocation of the remainder run left over from (1). 3) Deallocation of the remainder run *before* deallocation of the large run, with unfortunate interior map state left over from previous run allocation/deallocation activity, such that one or more pages of allocated memory would be treated as part of the remainder run during run coalescing. In summary, this was a bad bug, but it was difficult to trigger. In arena_bin_malloc_hard(), if another thread wins the race to allocate a bin run, dispose of the spare run via arena_bin_lower_run() rather than arena_run_dalloc(), since the run has already been prepared for use as a bin run. This bug has existed since March 14, 2010: e00572b3 mmap()/munmap() without arena->lock or bin->lock. Fix bugs in arena_dalloc_bin_run(), arena_trim_head(), arena_trim_tail(), and arena_ralloc_large_grow() that could cause the CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED map bit to become corrupted. These are all long-standing bugs, but the chances of them actually causing problems was much lower before the CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED --> CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED conversion. Fix a large run statistics regression in arena_ralloc_large_grow() that was introduced on September 17, 2010: 8e3c3c61 Add {,r,s,d}allocm(). Add debug code to validate that supposedly pre-zeroed memory really is.

Preserve CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED when allocating small runs, because it is possible that untouched pages will be returned to the tree of clean runs, where the CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED flag matters. Prior to the conversion from CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED, this was already a bug, but in the worst case extra zeroing occurred. After the conversion, this bug made it possible to incorrectly treat pages as pre-zeroed.

Fix a regression added by revision: 3377ffa1 Change CHUNK_MAP_ZEROED to CHUNK_MAP_UNZEROED. A modified chunk->map dereference was missing the subtraction of map_bias, which caused incorrect chunk map initialization, as well as potential corruption of the first non-header page of memory within each chunk.
