malloc() and free(). See _PyObject_ArenaMalloc (etc) in
Objects/obmalloc.c.
Oh, sorry, I forgot how to read. If ARENAS_USE_MMAP is on it uses
mmap(). I can't figure out when or how MAP_ANONYMOUS gets set, but if I
step into the _PyObject_Arena.alloc() it indeed calls
_PyObject_ArenaMmap() which uses mmap(). So, huzzah!, we use mmap() to
allocate our enormous 256kb arenas.
