[pve-devel] [PATCH-SERIES v2 qemu, qemu-server, manager 0/1] add tcmalloc support

[Alexandre Derumier]

This patches series add support for tcmalloc allocator with a new optionnal
tuning option in qemu-server.

tcmalloc improve librbd performance by 30% in latency and iops.

some performance bench results:

malloc: 60k iops 4k randread
tcmalloc : 90k iops 4k randread


a qemu patch is provided, to detect if a different memory allocator than
glibc malloc is loaded through LD_PRELOAD, to avoid the call of malloc_trim().
I don't have seen crash without this patch, but it's safer with it,
and as it's called 3-4x by second, it'll avoid some unnecessary calls.


changelog v2:
