Snehasish Kumar aacaebc6c2 [memprof] Make the raw binary format the default.
Set the default memprof serialization format as binary. 9 tests are
updated to use print_text=true. Also fixed an issue with concatenation
of default and test specified options (missing separator).

Snehasish Kumar 545866cb05 [memprof] Add a raw binary format to serialize memprof profiles.
This change implements the raw binary format discussed in
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-September/153007.html

Summary of changes
* Add a new memprof option to choose binary or text (default) format.
* Add a rawprofile library which serializes the MIB map to profile.
* Add a unit test for rawprofile.
* Mark sanitizer procmaps methods as virtual to be able to mock them.
* Extend memprof_profile_dump regression test.

Snehasish Kumar 1243cef245 [memprof] Replace the block cache with a hashmap.
The existing implementation uses a cache + eviction based scheme to
record heap profile information. This design was adopted to ensure a
constant memory overhead (due to fixed number of cache entries) along
with incremental write-to-disk for evictions. We find that since the
number to entries to track is O(unique-allocation-contexts) the overhead
of keeping all contexts in memory is not very high. On a clang workload,
the max number of unique allocation contexts was ~35K, median ~11K.
For each context, we (currently) store 64 bytes of data - this amounts
to 5.5MB (max). Given the low overheads for a complex workload, we can
simplify the implementation by using a hashmap without eviction.

Other changes:
* Memory map is dumped at the end rather than startup. The relative
order in the profile dump is unchanged since we no longer have evicted
entries at runtime.
* Added a test to check meminfoblocks are merged.

Teresa Johnson 3d4bba302d [MemProf] Memory profiling runtime support
See RFC for background:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-June/142744.html

Follow on companion to the clang/llvm instrumentation support in D85948
and committed earlier.

This patch adds the compiler-rt runtime support for the memory
profiling.

Note that much of this support was cloned from asan (and then greatly
simplified and renamed). For example the interactions with the
sanitizer_common allocators, error handling, interception, etc.

The bulk of the memory profiling specific code can be found in the
MemInfoBlock, MemInfoBlockCache, and related classes defined and used
in memprof_allocator.cpp.

For now, the memory profile is dumped to text (stderr by default, but
honors the sanitizer_common log_path flag). It is dumped in either a
default verbose format, or an optional terse format.

This patch also adds a set of tests for the core functionality.
