> This proposal adds a way to monitor C1/C2 memory usage per compilation.
>
> We are flying a bit blind there: NMT is okay for initial triaging but no help when digging deeper into compiler footprint. NMT shows how much native memory the JIT uses but lumps together footprints from concurrent compilations, making its peak values arbitrary. And we have no way to associate the NMT numbers with individual allocations.
>
> The statistic added by this patch shows footprint *per compilation*. It measures memory spikes per thread for a single compilation. It then presents them with additional information, e.g., the node count (for C2).

> #### Usage
>
> The statistic needs to be enabled with a new diagnostic switch (`-XX:+CompilationMemStat`) and then can be printed with a new jcmd:
>
> `jcmd xxx Compiler.memory`
>
> You can specify a cutoff memory threshold to filter only the most expensive compilations, and switch between human-readable format:
>
> `jcmd xxx Compiler.memory -s=10m -H`
>
> The statistic can also be printed at the end of VM life (similar to metaspace- or NMT-statistics):
>
> `-XX:+PrintCompilationMemStatAtExit`
>
> #### Technical details
>
> The patch exploits the fact that compilers use arenas almost exclusively. It hooks into `Arena::grow()` to track allocations. That makes memory tracking very cheap at an acceptable loss in fidelity (we only track arena chunk allocations, not individual Arena allocations).
>
> Peak values are tracked per compiler thread. That works since all arenas used during compilation are associated with a compiler thread and never change that associat...
