On GrapheneOS, hardened\_malloc is integrated into the standard C library as
the standard malloc implementation. Other Android-based operating systems can
reuse the integration code to provide it. If desired, jemalloc can be left as
a runtime configuration option by only conditionally using hardened\_malloc to
give users the choice between performance and security. However, this reduces
security for threat models where persistent state is untrusted, i.e. verified
boot and attestation (see the [attestation sister
project](https://attestation.app/about)).

Make sure to raise `vm.max_map_count` substantially too to accomodate the very
large number of guard pages created by hardened\_malloc. This can be done in
