You can call the "thread.allocatedp" and "thread.deallocatedp" mallctl()
interfaces from each thread you care about, then pass the pointers to your
monitoring thread. You may get stale reads if you read the counters from a
different thread since there's no synchronization protecting reads/writes of
the counters, but in practice the values you read are unlikely to be
substantially out of date, at least on x86/x64 systems.
