jemalloc 5 doesn't immediately release memory back to the OS, instead there's a decaying
mechanism, which doesn't work when there's no traffic (no allocations).
this is most evident if there's no traffic after flushdb, the RSS will remain high.
1) enable jemalloc background purging
2) explicitly purge in flushdb
Background threads may run for a long time, especially when the # of dirty pages
is high. Avoid blocking stats calls because of this (which may cause latency
spikes).

Add tests to check basic functionality of this optional keyword, and also tested with
a module (redisgraph). Checked quickly with valgrind, no issues.
Copies name the type name canonicalisation code from `typeCommand`, perhaps this would
be better factored out to prevent the two diverging and both needing to be edited to
add new `OBJ_*` types, but this is a little fiddly with C strings.
The [redis-doc](https://github.com/antirez/redis-doc/blob/master/commands.json) repo
will need to be updated with this new arg if accepted.
A quirk to be aware of here is that the GEO commands are backed by zsets not their own
type, so they're not distinguishable from other zsets.
Additionally, for sparse types this has the same behaviour as `MATCH` in that it may
return many empty results before giving something, even for large `COUNT`s.
CLIENT PAUSE may be used, in other contexts, for a long time making all
the slaves time out. Better for now to be more specific about what
should disable senidng PINGs.
An alternative to that would be to virtually refresh the slave
interactions when clients are paused, however for now I went for this
more conservative solution.
In fast systems "SLOWLOG RESET" is fast enough to don't be logged even
when the time limit is "1" sometimes. Leading to false positives such
as:
[err]: SLOWLOG - can be disabled in tests/unit/slowlog.tcl
Expected '1' to be equal to '0'
Now clients that are ready to be terminated asynchronously are processed
more often in beforeSleep() instead of being processed in serverCron().
This means that the test will not be able to catch the moment the client
was terminated, also note that the 'omem' figure now changes in big
steps, because of the new client output buffers layout.
So we have to change the test range in order to accomodate for that.
Yet the test is useful enough to be worth taking, even if its precision
is reduced by this commit. Probably if we get more problems, a thing
that makes sense is just to check that the limit is < 200k. That's more
than enough actually.
Hi, @antirez
In the code, to get the size of ziplist, "unsigned int bytes = ZIPLIST_HEADER_SIZE+1;" is correct,
but why not make it more readable and easy to understand
Potentially it is possible that we get interleaved writes, even if
serverLog() makes sure to write into a buffer and then use printf(), so
even this should be ok. However in general POSIX guarantees that writing
to the same file pointer object from multiple threads is safe. Anyway
currently we *reopen* the file at each call, but for the standard output
logging.
The logging functions actually also access global configuration while
performing the log (for instance in order to check the log level, the
log filename and so forth), however dunring the I/O threads execution
we cannot alter such shared state in any way.
