File be/src/runtime/bufferpool/system-allocator.cc:

Line 81:       munmap(mem, fixup);
does this path occur normally? how expensive are these 2 extra munmap()s? hmm, 
I guess linux doesn't support something like MAP_ALIGNED_SUPER.

File be/src/util/memory-metrics.h:

PS7, Line 39: in use
what does that mean? i.e .does it include buffers in the free lists and 
TCMalloc free lists?


PS7, Line 158:  Total amount of buffer memory currently allocated.
it's hard to tell from this comment (and naming) if this is the total allocated 
by clients, amount of buffer reservation allocated (in reservation tracker 
terms), or the total system memory allocated (even if in free list).


PS7, Line 159: buffer memory reserved for buffers
not sure what that means. isn't all "buffer memory" reserved for buffers?
