//
// Implementation details:
// The JemallocNodumpAllocator creates a dedicated jemalloc arena, and all
// allocations of the JemallocNodumpAllocator are through the same arena.
// The memory allocator hooks memory allocation of the arena, and calls
// madvise() with MADV_DONTDUMP flag to exclude the piece of memory from
// core dump. Side benefit of using single arena would be reduction of jemalloc
// metadata for some workloads.
//
// To mitigate mutex contention for using one single arena, jemalloc tcache
// (thread-local cache) is enabled to cache unused allocations for future use.
// The tcache normally incurs 0.5M extra memory usage per-thread. The usage
// can be reduced by limiting allocation sizes to cache.
