Describe the bug
Redis fails to start when run on an aarch64 machine with 16kb pages (Asahi Linux on Apple Silicon)
To reproduce
Install redis, start redis, observe failure:
redis-server[503343]: <jemalloc>: Unsupported system page size
Expected behavior
Redis does not crash
Additional information
Redis 7.0.13 installed from Fedora 38 repositories

Seem that Asahi linux uses 16K page size. You can try following patch:

Ideally redis should link to jemalloc instead of statically linking, which would allow the system jemalloc which is compiled correctly to be used
Comment From: yossigo
@4e554c4c To support memory defragmentation, Redis ships with a (very slightly) patched version of jemalloc. You can build against the system jemalloc if you're willing to give up on this capability.

@yossigo What would the recommendation for package managers aiming for compatibility for wide aarch64 architecture support be?
Comment From: yossigo
@4e554c4c Use the bundled jemalloc and build it to support the largest page size you expect, as described in #11407.

notice: this is fixed in Fedora side (redis-7.0.13-2.fc38 and redis-7.2.1-2.fc39)
