We previously tested wrong assumption that larger than page size size
classes have addresses aligned on page size. New code is making proper
check of size class.
Also added is unit test coverage for this previously failing
condition. And we now also run "assert-ful" unittests for big tcmalloc
too, not only tcmalloc_minimal configuration.
This fixes github issue #1254
Everyone should be using golang pprof from github.com/google/pprof, but
distros still ship our perl version and not everyone is aware of
better pprof yet.
This is another step in completely dropping perl pprof. We still
default to installing it, but hopefully we'll be able to convince
distros to disable this soon.
We still install pprof under pprof-symbolize name because
stack traces symbolization depends on it, and because golang pprof
won't support this feature.
This is related to issue #1038.
While this is not good representation of real-world production malloc
behavior, it is representative of length (instruction-wise and well as
cycle-wise) of fast-path. So this is better than nothing.
