The definition for replace_init is only used in two places:
replace_malloc.h and mozjemalloc.cpp. Invoking the malloc_decls.h
machinery for just that one function is a lot of overhead, and things
are actually simpler doing the declaration directly, especially thanks
to the use of C++11 decltype to avoid duplication of the function
type.
This has the additional advantage that now malloc_decls.h only contains
the allocator API.
While here, replace the MOZ_WIDGET_ANDROID ifdef with ANDROID.

Because one entry point is simpler than two, we make replace_init fulfil
both the roles of replace_init and replace_get_bridge.
Note this should be binary compatible with older replace-malloc
libraries, albeit not detecting their bridge (and with the
previous change, they do not register anyways). So loading older
replace-malloc libraries should do nothing, but not crash in awful ways.

The allocator API is a moving target, and every time we change it, the
surface for replace-malloc libraries grows. This causes some build
system problems, because of the tricks in replace_malloc.mk, which
require the full list of symbols.
Considering the above and the goal of moving some of the replace-malloc
libraries into mozglue, it becomes simpler to reduce the replace-malloc
exposure to the initialization functions.
So instead of the allocator poking into replace-malloc libraries for all
the functions, we expect their replace_init function to alter the table
of allocator functions it's passed to register its own functions.
This means replace-malloc implementations now need to copy the original
table, which is not a bad thing, as it allows function calls with one
level of indirection less. It also replace_init functions to not
actually register the replace-malloc functions in some cases, which will
be useful when linking some replace-malloc libraries into mozglue.
Note this is binary compatible with previously built replace-malloc
libraries, but because those libraries wouldn't update the function
table, they would stay disabled.

Bug 1417234 replaced all uses of CRITICAL_SECTION with SRWLocks in the
allocator on Windows, and this seems to have incurred performance
regressions on speedometer.
OTOH, there is a real benefit from not having to manually initialize the
allocator.
So we restore the use of CRITICAL_SECTIONs for Mutexes in the allocator,
except for the initialization lock, which is remaining as a SRWLock.
Talos indicates this solves the regression in large part, but is not
definitive as whether it has the same effect as a pure backout of bug
1417234. We'll see how things go over time.

- This makes all of them return an enum, quite similar to rust.
- This makes all of them derive from a single implementation of an
integer comparison.
- This implements that integer comparison in terms of simple operations,
rather than "smart" computation, which turns out to allow compilers
to do better optimizations.

Zero and junk should have the same scope, but currently huge and large
reallocs are zeroed when zeroing is enabled, but are not junked when
junking is enabled. This makes things straight, leaning on the side of
filling the added bytes, rather than not.
This has an actual effect on debug builds, where junk is enabled by
default.

The immediate goal for this is to allow determinism in an arena used for
an upcoming test, by essentially disabling purge on that specific arena.
We do that by allowing arenas to be created with a specific setting for
mMaxDirty.
Incidentally, this allows to cleanup the mMaxDirty initialization for
thread-local arenas.
Longer term, this would allow to tweak arenas with more parameters, on
a per arena basis.

Some unit tests rely on jemalloc_stats to get information such as chunk
size or page size. They can do so before any allocation happens, when
using gtest filters. So it is preferable for jemalloc_stats to
initialize the allocator.

We currently turn off the C++14 sized-deallocation facility on MSVC, and
we'd like to ensure we do the same thing for clang and gcc. To do so,
we add new functionality to moz.configure for checking and adding
compilation flags, similar to the facility for checking and adding
warning flags. The newly added facility is then used to add
-fno-sized-deallocation to the compilation flags, when the option is
supported.
Once we do this, we can't define the sized deallocation functions in
mozalloc.h; the compiler will complain that we are using
-fno-sized-deallocation, yet defining these special functions that we'll
never use. These functions were added for MinGW, where we needed to
compile with C++14 ahead of other platforms to be compatible with MSVC
headers. But they're no longer necessary, though they would be if we
removed -fno-sized-deallocation; the compiler will complain if we do
that and we'll add them back at that point.
SRWLock is more lightweight than CriticalSection, but is only available
on Windows Vista and more. So until we actually dropped support Windows
XP, we had to use CriticalSection.
Now that all supported Windows versions do have SRWLock, this is a
switch we can make, and not only because SRWLock is more lightweight,
but because it can be statically initialized like on other platforms,
allowing to use the same initialization code as on other platforms,
and removing the requirement for a DllMain, which in turn can allow
to statically link mozjemalloc in some cases, instead of requiring a
shared library (DllMain only works on shared libraries), or manually
call the initialization function soon enough.
There is a downside, though: SRWLock, as opposed to CriticalSection, is
not fair, meaning it can have thread scheduling implications, and can
theoretically increase latency on some threads. However, it is the
default used by Rust Mutex, meaning it's at least good enough there.
Let's see how things go with this.

Currently, huge allocations are completely independent from arenas. But
in order to ensure that e.g. moz_arena_realloc can't reallocate huge
allocations from another arena, we need to track which arena was
responsible for the huge allocation. We do that in the corresponding
extent_node_t.
Both functions do essentially the same thing, one having more validation
than the other. We can use a template with a boolean parameter to avoid
the duplication.
Furthermore, we're soon going to require, in some cases, more
information than just the size of the allocation, so we wrap their
result in a helper class that gives information about an active
allocation.
FloorLog2 expands to, essentially, a compiler builtin/intrinsic, that,
in turn, expands to a single machine instruction on tier 1 and other
platforms. On platforms where that's not the case, we can expect the
compiler to generate fast code anyways. So overall, this is all better
than manually using a log2 lookup table.
Also replace a manual power-of-two check with mozilla::IsPowerOfTwo,
which does the same test.

There are multiple flaws to the current code:
- The loop calculating the right parameters for a given run size is
repeated.
- The loop trying different run sizes doesn't actually work to fulfil
the overhead constraint: while it stops when the constraint is
fulfilled, the values that are kept are those from the previous
iteration, which may well be well over the constraint.
In practice, the latter resulted in a few surprising results:
- most size classes had an overhead slightly over the constraint
(1.562%), which, while not terribly bad, doesn't match the set
expectations.
- some size classes ended up with relatively good overheads only because
of the additional constraint that run sizes had to be larger than the
run size of smaller size classes. Without this constraint, some size
classes would end up with overheads well over 2% just because that
happens to be the last overhead value before reaching below the 1.5%
constraint.
Furthermore, for higher-level fragmentation concerns, smaller run sizes
are better than larger run sizes, and in many cases, smaller run sizes
can yield the same (or even sometimes, better) overhead as larger run
sizes. For example, the current code choses 8KiB for runs of size 112,
but using 4KiB runs would actually yield the same number of regions, and
the same overhead.
We thus change the calculation to:
- not force runs to be smaller than those of smaller classes.
- avoid the code repetition.
- actually enforce its overhead constraint, but make it 1.6%.
- for especially small size classes, relax the overhead constraint to
2.4%.
This leads to an uneven set of run sizes:

* Note: before is before this change only, not before the set of changes
from this bug; before that, the run size for 96 could be 8 KiB in some
configurations.
In most cases, the overhead hasn't changed, with a few exceptions:
- Improvements:
size class before after
208 1.823% 0.977%
304 1.660% 1.042%
320 1.562% 1.042%
400 0.716% 0.391%
464 1.283% 0.879%

352 0.312% 1.172%
416 0.130% 0.977%
2048 1.515% 1.562%
For the regressions, the values are either still well within the
constraint or very close to the previous value, that I don't feel like
it's worth trying to avoid them, with the risk of making things worse
for other size classes.

On 64-bit platforms, sizeof(arena_run_t) includes a padding at the end
of the struct to align to 64-bit, since the last field, regs_mask, is
32-bit, and its offset can be a multiple of 64-bit depending on the
configuration. But we're doing size calculations for a dynamically-sized
regs_mask based on sizeof(arena_run_t), completely ignoring that
padding.
Instead, we use the offset of regs_mask as a base for the calculation.
Practically speaking, this doesn't change much with the current set of
values, but could affect the overheads when we squeeze run sizes more.

First and foremost, the code and corresponding comment weren't in
agreement on what's going on.
The code checks:
RUN_MAX_OVRHD * (bin->mSizeClass << 3) <= RUN_MAX_OVRHD_RELAX
which is equivalent to:
(bin->mSizeClass << 3) <= RUN_MAX_OVRHD_RELAX / RUN_MAX_OVRHD
replacing constants:
(bin->mSizeClass << 3) <= 0x1800 / 0x3d
The left hand side is just bin->mSizeClass * 8, and the right hand side
is about 100, so this can be roughly summarized as:
bin->mSizeClass <= 12
The comment says the overhead constraint is relaxed for runs with a
per-region overhead greater than RUN_MAX_OVRHD / (mSizeClass << (3+RUN_BFP)).
Which, on itself, doesn't make sense, because it translates to
61 / (mSizeClass * 32768), which, even for a size class of 1 would mean
less than 0.2%, and this value would be even smaller for bigger classes.
The comment would make more sense with RUN_MAX_OVRHD_RELAX, but would
still not match what the code was doing.
So we change how the relaxed rule works, as per the comment in the new
code, and make it happen after the standard run overhead constraint has
been checked.

The description above the RUN_* constant definitions talks about binary
fixed point math, which is one way to look at the problem, but a clearer
one is to look at it as comparing ratios in a way that doesn't use
divisions.
So, starting from the current expression:
(try_reg0_offset << RUN_BFP) <= RUN_MAX_OVRHD * try_run_size
This can be rewritten as
try_reg0_offset * (1 << RUN_BFP) <= RUN_MAX_OVRHD * try_run_size
Dividing both sides with ((1 << RUN_BFP) * try_run_size), and
simplifying, gives us:
try_reg0_offset / try_run_size <= RUN_MAX_OVRHD / (1 << RUN_BFP)
Replacing the constants:
try_reg0_offset / try_run_size <= 0x3d / (1 << 12)
or
try_reg0_offset / try_run_size <= 61 / 4096
61 / 4096 is roughly 1.5%.
So what the check really intends to do is check that the overhead is
below 1.5%.
So we introduce a helper class and a user-defined literal that makes the
test more self-descriptive, while producing identical machine code.
This is a lot of code to add, but I think it's one of those cases where
abstraction can help make the code clearer.
