/* The point of this test is to start and exit a large number of
threads, while at the same time looking to see if the used
memory grows with each round of threads run. If the memory
grows above some linear bound we declare the test failed and
that the malloc implementation is leaking memory with each
thread. This is a good indicator that the thread local cache
is leaking chunks. */

the thread local cache (tcache). If we have at least 64 bins
(default e.g. TCACHE_MAX_BINS) we should be able to allocate 32
bytes and force malloc to fill the tcache. We are assuming tcahce
init happens at the first small alloc, but it might in the future
be deferred to some other point. Therefore to future proof this
test we include a full alloc/free/alloc cycle for the thread. We
need a compiler barrier to avoid the removal of the useless
alloc/free. We send some memory back to main to have the memory
freed after the thread dies, as just another check that the chunks
that were previously in the tcache are still OK to free after
thread death. */

after starting and joining THREADS threads. We almost always grow
memory slightly, but not much. Consider that if even 1-byte leaked
per thread we'd have THREADS bytes of additional memory, and in
general the in-use at the start of main is quite low. We will
always leak a full malloc chunk, and never just 1-byte, therefore
anything above "+ threads" from the start (constant offset) is a
leak. Obviously this assumes no thread-related malloc'd internal
libc data structures persist beyond the thread death, and any that
did would limit the number of times you could call pthread_create,
which is a QoI we'd want to detect and fix. */
