Description

There are several problems in DRLVM with native memory usage. For example:

• Native memory usage couldn't be monitored currently in details via java.lang.management functionality
• No explicit way to replace system native memory allocator to other memory managers in order to improve performance or footprint
• Too many variants of the native memory allocations in DRLVM
• Poor memory usage control (like leaks, double free calling, etc.)
• Potential crash in diagnostics when OutOfMemory occur
• Frequent native memory usage could cause OutOfMemory if GC wouldn't be timely called
• No detail trace for the native memory usage

Adding of some functionality to solve these would be hepful I think?
