malloc: Support hugepages in mremap_chunk
Add mremap_chunk support for mmap()ed chunks using hugepages by accounting for their alignment, to prevent the mremap call failing in most cases where the size passed is not a hugepage size multiple. It also improves robustness for reallocating hugepages since mremap is much less likely to fail, so running out of memory when reallocating a larger size and having to copy the old contents after mremap fails is also less likely. To track whether an mmap()ed chunk uses hugepages, have a flag in the lowest bit of the mchunk_prev_size field which is set after a call to sysmalloc_mmap, and accessed later in mremap_chunk. Create macros for getting and setting this bit, and for mapping the bit off when accessing the field for mmap()ed chunks. Since the alignment cannot be lower than 8 bytes, this flag cannot affect the alignment data. Add malloc/tst-tcfree4-malloc-check to the tests-exclude-malloc-check list as malloc-check prevents the tcache from being used to store chunks. This test caused failures due to a bug in mem2chunk_check to be fixed in a later patch. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
