// machine is running out of physical memory.
//
// This is great from the standpoint of efficiency, but it makes measuring our
// actual RSS difficult, because pages which we've MADV_FREE'd shouldn't count
// against our RSS.

// This function explicitly purges any MADV_FREE'd pages from physical memory,
// causing our reported RSS match the amount of memory we're actually using.
//
// Note that this call is expensive in two ways.  First, it may be slow to
// execute, because it may make a number of slow syscalls to free memory.  This
// function holds the big jemalloc locks, so basically all threads are blocked
// while this function runs.
//
// This function is also expensive in that the next time we go to access a page
// which we've just explicitly decommitted, the operating system has to attach
// to it a physical page!  If we hadn't run this function, the OS would have
// less work to do.
