/* Layout of an in-use block:

      this block total szB     (sizeof(SizeT) bytes)
      red zone bytes           (depends on Arena.rz_szB, but >= sizeof(void*))
      (payload bytes)
      red zone bytes           (depends on Arena.rz_szB, but >= sizeof(void*))
      this block total szB     (sizeof(SizeT) bytes)

   Layout of a block on the free list:

      cost center (OPTIONAL)   (VG_MIN_MALLOC_SZB bytes, only when h-p enabled)
      this block total szB     (sizeof(SizeT) bytes)
      freelist previous ptr    (sizeof(void*) bytes)
      excess red zone bytes    (if Arena.rz_szB > sizeof(void*))
      (payload bytes)
      excess red zone bytes    (if Arena.rz_szB > sizeof(void*))
      freelist next ptr        (sizeof(void*) bytes)         
      this block total szB     (sizeof(SizeT) bytes)         

   Total size in bytes (bszB) and payload size in bytes (pszB)
   are related by:

      bszB == pszB + 2*sizeof(SizeT) + 2*a->rz_szB

   when heap profiling is not enabled, and

      bszB == pszB + 2*sizeof(SizeT) + 2*a->rz_szB + VG_MIN_MALLOC_SZB

   when it is enabled.  It follows that the minimum overhead per heap
   block for arenas used by the core is:

      32-bit platforms:  2*4 + 2*4 == 16 bytes
      64-bit platforms:  2*8 + 2*8 == 32 bytes

   when heap profiling is not enabled, and

      32-bit platforms:  2*4 + 2*4 + 8  == 24 bytes
      64-bit platforms:  2*8 + 2*8 + 16 == 48 bytes

   when it is enabled.  In all cases, extra overhead may be incurred
   when rounding the payload size up to VG_MIN_MALLOC_SZB.

   Furthermore, both size fields in the block have their least-significant
   bit set if the block is not in use, and unset if it is in use.
   (The bottom 3 or so bits are always free for this because of alignment.)
   A block size of zero is not possible, because a block always has at
   least two SizeTs and two pointers of overhead.  

   Nb: All Block payloads must be VG_MIN_MALLOC_SZB-aligned.  This is
   achieved by ensuring that Superblocks are VG_MIN_MALLOC_SZB-aligned
   (see newSuperblock() for how), and that the lengths of the following
   things are a multiple of VG_MIN_MALLOC_SZB:
   - Superblock admin section lengths (due to elastic padding)
   - Block admin section (low and high) lengths (due to elastic redzones)
   - Block payload lengths (due to req_pszB rounding up)

   The heap-profile cost-center field is 8 bytes even on 32 bit
   platforms.  This is so as to keep the payload field 8-aligned.  On
   a 64-bit platform, this cc-field contains a pointer to a const
   HChar*, which is the cost center name.  On 32-bit platforms, the
   pointer lives in the lower-addressed half of the field, regardless
   of the endianness of the host.
