[PATCH] Add Safe-Linking to fastbins and tcache

[Eyal Itkin]

Happy to hear that all the legal issues have been resolved.

What are the next steps? Have you read the white paper?
(https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools/files/4023520/Safe-Linking-White-Paper.txt)
It should contain a detailed explanation for the reasons behind this
feature, and also explain how it works.

The patch itself simply applies the single-linked-list pointer masking
(and alignment checks) to both the Fast Bins and TCache lists.

Will be happy to assist in any way I can,
Eyal.
