Resources for the malloc session:
- The malloc internals write-up on Sourceware wiki
- Siddhesh's old blog post about malloc per-thread arenas
- Understanding malloc behaviour using systemtap probes along with example usage
- User documentation on glibc malloc
- Probably among the best descriptions of malloc internals, arguably easier to read than the sourceware malloc internals post
