bug fixes are all mentioned, but internal enhancements are omitted here for
|
|
|
|

* 3.5.0 (January 22, 2014)
|
Refactor to support more varied testing.
Refactor the test harness to support three types of tests:
- unit: White box unit tests. These tests have full access to all
internal jemalloc library symbols. Though in actuality all symbols
are prefixed by jet_, macro-based name mangling abstracts this away
from test code.
- integration: Black box integration tests. These tests link with
the installable shared jemalloc library, and with the exception of
some utility code and configure-generated macro definitions, they have
no access to jemalloc internals.
- stress: Black box stress tests. These tests link with the installable
shared jemalloc library, as well as with an internal allocator with
symbols prefixed by jet_ (same as for unit tests) that can be used to
allocate data structures that are internal to the test code.
Move existing tests into test/{unit,integration}/ as appropriate.
Split out internal parts of jemalloc_defs.h.in and put them in
jemalloc_internal_defs.h.in. This reduces internals exposure to
applications that #include <jemalloc/jemalloc.h>.
Refactor jemalloc.h header generation so that a single header file
results, and the prototypes can be used to generate jet_ prototypes for
tests. Split jemalloc.h.in into multiple parts (jemalloc_defs.h.in,
jemalloc_macros.h.in, jemalloc_protos.h.in, jemalloc_mangle.h.in) and
use a shell script to generate a unified jemalloc.h at configure time.
Change the default private namespace prefix from "" to "je_".
Add missing private namespace mangling.
Remove hard-coded private_namespace.h. Instead generate it and
private_unnamespace.h from private_symbols.txt. Use similar logic for
public symbols, which aids in name mangling for jet_ symbols.
Add test_warn() and test_fail(). Replace existing exit(1) calls with
test_fail() calls.

This version focuses on refactoring and automated testing, though it also
|
|
|
|
|
includes some non-trivial heap profiling optimizations not mentioned below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the *allocx() API, which is a successor to the experimental *allocm()
|
|
|
|
|
API. The *allocx() functions are slightly simpler to use because they have
|
|
|
|
|
fewer parameters, they directly return the results of primary interest, and
|
|
|
|
|
mallocx()/rallocx() avoid the strict aliasing pitfall that
|
2014-01-23 05:08:47 +08:00
|
|
|
allocm()/rallocm() share with posix_memalign(). Note that *allocm() is
|
2014-01-18 09:01:23 +08:00
|
|
|
slated for removal in the next non-bugfix release.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add support for LinuxThreads.

Bug fixes:
|
2013-12-06 15:01:50 +08:00
|
|
|
- Unless heap profiling is enabled, disable floating point code and don't link
|
|
|
|
|
with libm. This, in combination with e.g. EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mno-sse on x64
|
|
|
|
|
systems, makes it possible to completely disable floating point register
|
|
|
|
|
use. Some versions of glibc neglect to save/restore caller-saved floating
|
|
|
|
|
point registers during dynamic lazy symbol loading, and the symbol loading
|
|
|
|
|
code uses whatever malloc the application happens to have linked/loaded
|
|
|
|
|
with, the result being potential floating point register corruption.
|
2014-01-18 09:01:23 +08:00
|
|
|
- Report ENOMEM rather than EINVAL if an OOM occurs during heap profiling
|
|
|
|
|
backtrace creation in imemalign(). This bug impacted posix_memalign() and
|
|
|
|
|
aligned_alloc().
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a file descriptor leak in a prof_dump_maps() error path.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix prof_dump() to close the dump file descriptor for all relevant error
|
|
|
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix rallocm() to use the arena specified by the ALLOCM_ARENA(s) flag for
|
|
|
|
|
allocation, not just deallocation.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a data race for large allocation stats counters.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a potential infinite loop during thread exit. This bug occurred on
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris, and could affect other platforms with similar pthreads TSD
|
|
|
|
|
implementations.
|
|
|
|
|
- Don't junk-fill reallocations unless usable size changes. This fixes a
|
|
|
|
|
violation of the *allocx()/*allocm() semantics.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix growing large reallocation to junk fill new space.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix huge deallocation to junk fill when munmap is disabled.

private_unnamespace.h from private_symbols.txt. Use similar logic for
public symbols, which aids in name mangling for jet_ symbols.
Add test_warn() and test_fail(). Replace existing exit(1) calls with
test_fail() calls.
2013-12-01 07:25:42 +08:00
|
|
|
- Change the default private namespace prefix from empty to je_, and change
|
|
|
|
|
--with-private-namespace-prefix so that it prepends an additional prefix
|
|
|
|
|
rather than replacing je_. This reduces the likelihood of applications
|
|
|
|
|
which statically link jemalloc experiencing symbol name collisions.
|
2014-01-18 09:01:23 +08:00
|
|
|
- Add missing private namespace mangling (relevant when
|
|
|
|
|
--with-private-namespace is specified).
|
|
|
|
|
- Add and use JEMALLOC_INLINE_C so that static inline functions are marked as
|
|
|
|
|
static even for debug builds.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add a missing mutex unlock in a malloc_init_hard() error path. In practice
|
|
|
|
|
this error path is never executed.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix numerous bugs in malloc_strotumax() error handling/reporting. These
|
|
|
|
|
bugs had no impact except for malformed inputs.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix numerous bugs in malloc_snprintf(). These bugs were not exercised by
|
|
|
|
|
existing calls, so they had no impact.

|
|
* 3.4.1 (October 20, 2013)
|
2013-10-20 12:41:10 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
2013-10-21 05:09:54 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix a race in the "arenas.extend" mallctl that could cause memory corruption
|
|
|
|
|
of internal data structures and subsequent crashes.
|
2013-10-20 14:48:40 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix Valgrind integration flaws that caused Valgrind warnings about reads of
|
|
|
|
|
uninitialized memory in:
|
|
|
|
|
+ arena chunk headers
|
|
|
|
|
+ internal zero-initialized data structures (relevant to tcache and prof
|
|
|
|
|
code)
|
2013-10-20 12:41:10 +08:00
|
|
|
- Preserve errno during the first allocation. A readlink(2) call during
|
|
|
|
|
initialization fails unless /etc/malloc.conf exists, so errno was typically
|
|
|
|
|
set during the first allocation prior to this fix.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix compilation warnings reported by gcc 4.8.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-06-03 11:58:00 +08:00
|
|
|
* 3.4.0 (June 2, 2013)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version is essentially a small bugfix release, but the addition of
|
|
|
|
|
aarch64 support requires that the minor version be incremented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix race-triggered deadlocks in chunk_record(). These deadlocks were
|
|
|
|
|
typically triggered by multiple threads concurrently deallocating huge
|
|
|
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
|
- Add support for the aarch64 architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-03-07 03:11:17 +08:00
|
|
|
* 3.3.1 (March 6, 2013)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version fixes bugs that are typically encountered only when utilizing
|
|
|
|
|
custom run-time options.
|
2013-01-31 07:03:11 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
2013-02-07 03:59:30 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix a locking order bug that could cause deadlock during fork if heap
|
|
|
|
|
profiling were enabled.
|
2013-02-01 08:53:58 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix a chunk recycling bug that could cause the allocator to lose track of
|
2013-06-03 11:58:00 +08:00
|
|
|
whether a chunk was zeroed. On FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OS X, it could cause
|
2013-02-01 08:53:58 +08:00
|
|
|
corruption if allocating via sbrk(2) (unlikely unless running with the
|
|
|
|
|
"dss:primary" option specified). This was completely harmless on Linux
|
|
|
|
|
unless using mlockall(2) (and unlikely even then, unless the
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-munmap configure option or the "dss:primary" option was
|
|
|
|
|
specified). This regression was introduced in 3.1.0 by the
|
|
|
|
|
mlockall(2)/madvise(2) interaction fix.
|
2013-01-31 07:03:11 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix TLS-related memory corruption that could occur during thread exit if the
|
|
|
|
|
thread never allocated memory. Only the quarantine and prof facilities were
|
|
|
|
|
susceptible.
|
2013-02-01 06:42:41 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix two quarantine bugs:
|
|
|
|
|
+ Internal reallocation of the quarantined object array leaked the old
|
|
|
|
|
array.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Reallocation failure for internal reallocation of the quarantined object
|
|
|
|
|
array (very unlikely) resulted in memory corruption.
|
2013-02-01 09:02:53 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix Valgrind integration to annotate all internally allocated memory in a
|
|
|
|
|
way that keeps Valgrind happy about internal data structure access.
|
2013-03-07 03:11:17 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix building for s390 systems.
|
2013-01-31 07:03:11 +08:00

|
|
* 3.3.0 (January 23, 2013)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version includes a few minor performance improvements in addition to the
|
|
|
|
|
listed new features and bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
|
- Add clipping support to lg_chunk option processing.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the --enable-ivsalloc option.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- Add the --disable-zone-allocator option.

|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix "arenas.extend" mallctl to output the number of arenas.
|
2013-10-04 05:38:39 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix chunk_recycle() to unconditionally inform Valgrind that returned memory
|
2012-12-13 02:12:18 +08:00
|
|
|
is undefined.
|
2013-01-23 14:45:09 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix build break on FreeBSD related to alloca.h.

|
* 3.2.0 (November 9, 2012)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to a couple of bug fixes, this version modifies page run
|
|
|
|
|
allocation and dirty page purging algorithms in order to better control
|
|
|
|
|
page-level virtual memory fragmentation.

2012-11-08 07:16:29 +08:00
|
|
|
- Change the "opt.lg_dirty_mult" default from 5 to 3 (32:1 to 8:1).

|
2012-10-17 13:06:56 +08:00
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix dss/mmap allocation precedence code to use recyclable mmap memory only
|
|
|
|
|
after primary dss allocation fails.
|
2012-10-31 06:42:37 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix deadlock in the "arenas.purge" mallctl. This regression was introduced
|
|
|
|
|
in 3.1.0 by the addition of the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl.
|
2012-10-17 13:06:56 +08:00

|
|
|
|
2012-05-16 05:48:14 +08:00
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
|
- Auto-detect whether running inside Valgrind, thus removing the need to
|
|
|
|
|
manually specify MALLOC_CONF=valgrind:true.
|
2012-10-17 01:12:40 +08:00
|
|
|
- Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, which allows applications to create
|
|
|
|
|
manually managed arenas.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm().
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the "opt.dss", "arena.<i>.dss", and "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctls,
|
|
|
|
|
which provide control over dss/mmap precedence.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge".
|
|
|
|
|
- Define LG_QUANTUM for hppa.

|
|
2012-05-16 14:31:53 +08:00
|
|
|
Incompatible changes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Disable tcache by default if running inside Valgrind, in order to avoid
|
|
|
|
|
making unallocated objects appear reachable to Valgrind.
|
2012-10-17 01:12:40 +08:00
|
|
|
- Drop const from malloc_usable_size() argument on Linux.

|
2012-05-16 04:53:21 +08:00
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix heap profiling crash if sampled object is freed via realloc(p, 0).
|
2012-05-24 07:09:22 +08:00
|
|
|
- Remove const from __*_hook variable declarations, so that glibc can modify
|
|
|
|
|
them during process forking.
|
2012-10-17 01:12:40 +08:00
|
|
|
- Fix mlockall(2)/madvise(2) interaction.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix fork(2)-related deadlocks.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix error return value for "thread.tcache.enabled" mallctl.

Although this version adds some major new features, the primary focus is on
|
|
|
|
|
internal code cleanup that facilitates maintainability and portability, most
|
|
|
|
|
of which is not reflected in the ChangeLog. This is the first release to
|
|
|
|
|

|
is 0.
|
2012-04-17 09:16:48 +08:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Initialize arenas_tsd before using it. This bug existed for 2.2.[0-3], as
|
|
|
|
|
well as for --disable-tls builds in earlier releases.
|
|
|
|
|
- Do not assume a 4 KiB page size in test/rallocm.c.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version fixes numerous bugs related to heap profiling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a prof-related race condition. This bug could cause memory corruption,
|
|
|
|
|
but only occurred in non-default configurations (prof_accum:false).
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix off-by-one backtracing issues (make sure that prof_alloc_prep() is
|
|
|
|
|
excluded from backtraces).
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a prof-related bug in realloc() (only triggered by OOM errors).
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix prof-related bugs in allocm() and rallocm().

|
|
|
|
|
- Fix assertions in arena_purge() (for real this time).
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the --with-private-namespace option. This is a workaround for symbol
|
|
|
|
|
conflicts that can inadvertently arise when using static libraries.

* 2.2.1 (March 30, 2011)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
for versions of gcc that are still in wide use.
|
|

* 2.2.0 (March 22, 2011)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version incorporates several improvements to algorithms and data
|
|
|
|
|
structures that tend to reduce fragmentation and increase speed.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the "stats.cactive" mallctl.
|
|
|
|
|
- Update pprof (from google-perftools 1.7).
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
--disable-prof-libgcc option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Change default symbol visibility from "internal", to "hidden", which
|
|
|
|
|
decreases the overhead of library-internal function calls.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix symbol visibility so that it is also set on OS X.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a build dependency regression caused by the introduction of the .pic.o
|
|
|
|
|
suffix for PIC object files.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add missing checks for mutex initialization failures.
|
|
|
|
|
- Don't use libgcc-based backtracing except on x64, where it is known to work.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix deadlocks on OS X that were due to memory allocation in
|
|
|
|
|
pthread_mutex_lock().
|
|
|
|
|
- Heap profiling-specific fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
+ Fix memory corruption due to integer overflow in small region index
|
|
|
|
|
computation, when using a small enough sample interval that profiling
|
|
|
|
|
context pointers are stored in small run headers.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Fix a bootstrap ordering bug that only occurred with TLS disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Fix a rallocm() rsize bug.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Fix error detection bugs for aligned memory allocation.

|
|
|
|
|
for OS X in 2.1.2).

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version incorporates some optimizations that can't quite be considered
|
|
|
|
|
bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
|
- Use Linux's mremap(2) for huge object reallocation when possible.
|
|
|
|
|
- Avoid locking in mallctl*() when possible.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the "thread.[de]allocatedp" mallctl's.
|
|
|
|
|
- Convert the manual page source from roff to DocBook, and generate both roff
|
|
|
|
|
and HTML manuals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a crash due to incorrect bootstrap ordering. This only impacted
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-debug --enable-dss configurations.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a minor statistics bug for mallctl("swap.avail", ...).
|

|
|
|
* 2.0.1 (October 29, 2010)
|
2010-10-30 11:16:39 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a race condition in heap profiling that could cause undefined behavior
|
2011-02-01 12:08:56 +08:00
|
|
|
if "opt.prof_accum" were disabled.
|
2010-10-30 11:16:39 +08:00
|
|
|
- Add missing mutex unlocks for some OOM error paths in the heap profiling
|
|
|
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a compilation error for non-C99 builds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-02-08 14:48:35 +08:00
|
|
|
* 2.0.0 (October 24, 2010)
|
2010-10-25 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This version focuses on the experimental *allocm() API, and on improved
|
|
|
|
|
run-time configuration/introspection. Nonetheless, numerous performance
|
|
|
|
|
improvements are also included.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
2010-10-25 07:54:40 +08:00
|
|
|
- Implement the experimental {,r,s,d}allocm() API, which provides a superset
|
|
|
|
|
of the functionality available via malloc(), calloc(), posix_memalign(),
|
|
|
|
|
realloc(), malloc_usable_size(), and free(). These functions can be used to
|
|
|
|
|
allocate/reallocate aligned zeroed memory, ask for optional extra memory
|
|
|
|
|
during reallocation, prevent object movement during reallocation, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
- Replace JEMALLOC_OPTIONS/JEMALLOC_PROF_PREFIX with MALLOC_CONF, which is
|
|
|
|
|
more human-readable, and more flexible. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
JEMALLOC_OPTIONS=AJP
|
|
|
|
|
is now:
|
|
|
|
|
MALLOC_CONF=abort:true,fill:true,stats_print:true
|
|
|
|
|
- Port to Apple OS X. Sponsored by Mozilla.
|
|
|
|
|
- Make it possible for the application to control thread-->arena mappings via
|
|
|
|
|
the "thread.arena" mallctl.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add compile-time support for all TLS-related functionality via pthreads TSD.
|
|
|
|
|
This is mainly of interest for OS X, which does not support TLS, but has a
|
|
|
|
|
TSD implementation with similar performance.
|
|
|
|
|
- Override memalign() and valloc() if they are provided by the system.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add the "arenas.purge" mallctl, which can be used to synchronously purge all
|
|
|
|
|
dirty unused pages.
|
|
|
|
|
- Make cumulative heap profiling data optional, so that it is possible to
|
|
|
|
|
limit the amount of memory consumed by heap profiling data structures.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add per thread allocation counters that can be accessed via the
|
|
|
|
|
"thread.allocated" and "thread.deallocated" mallctls.
|
2010-10-25 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Incompatible changes:
|
2010-10-25 07:54:40 +08:00
|
|
|
- Remove JEMALLOC_OPTIONS and malloc_options (see MALLOC_CONF above).
|
|
|
|
|
- Increase default backtrace depth from 4 to 128 for heap profiling.
|
|
|
|
|
- Disable interval-based profile dumps by default.
|
2010-10-25 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Remove bad assertions in fork handler functions. These assertions could
|
|
|
|
|
cause aborts for some combinations of configure settings.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix strerror_r() usage to deal with non-standard semantics in GNU libc.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix leak context reporting. This bug tended to cause the number of contexts
|
|
|
|
|
to be underreported (though the reported number of objects and bytes were
|
|
|
|
|
correct).
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a realloc() bug for large in-place growing reallocation. This bug could
|
|
|
|
|
cause memory corruption, but it was hard to trigger.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix an allocation bug for small allocations that could be triggered if
|
|
|
|
|
multiple threads raced to create a new run of backing pages.
|
|
|
|
|
- Enhance the heap profiler to trigger samples based on usable size, rather
|
|
|
|
|
than request size.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a heap profiling bug due to sometimes losing track of requested object
|
|
|
|
|
size for sampled objects.

|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix the libunwind-based implementation of stack backtracing (used for heap
|
|
|
|
|
profiling). This bug could cause zero-length backtraces to be reported.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add a missing mutex unlock in library initialization code. If multiple
|
|
|
|
|
threads raced to initialize malloc, some of them could end up permanently
|
|
|
|
|
blocked.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix junk filling of large objects, which could cause memory corruption.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add MAP_NORESERVE support for chunk mapping, because otherwise virtual
|
|
|
|
|
memory limits could cause swap file configuration to fail. Contributed by
|
|
|

* 1.0.1 (April 14, 2010)
|
2010-10-25 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix compilation when --enable-fill is specified.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix threads-related profiling bugs that affected accuracy and caused memory
|
|
|
|
|
to be leaked during thread exit.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix dirty page purging race conditions that could cause crashes.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix crash in tcache flushing code during thread destruction.

* 1.0.0 (April 11, 2010)
|
2010-10-25 07:18:29 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release focuses on speed and run-time introspection. Numerous
|
|
|
|
|
algorithmic improvements make this release substantially faster than its
|
|
|
|
|
predecessors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New features:
|
|
|
|
|
- Implement autoconf-based configuration system.
|
|
|
|
|
- Add mallctl*(), for the purposes of introspection and run-time
|
|
|
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
- Make it possible for the application to manually flush a thread's cache, via
|
|
|
|
|
the "tcache.flush" mallctl.
|
|
|
|
|
- Base maximum dirty page count on proportion of active memory.
|
|
|
|
|
- Compute various addtional run-time statistics, including per size class
|
|
|
|
|
statistics for large objects.
|
|
|
|
|
- Expose malloc_stats_print(), which can be called repeatedly by the
|
|
|
|
|
application.
|
|
|
|
|
- Simplify the malloc_message() signature to only take one string argument,
|
|
|
|
|
and incorporate an opaque data pointer argument for use by the application
|
|
|
|
|
in combination with malloc_stats_print().
|
|
|
|
|
- Add support for allocation backed by one or more swap files, and allow the
|
|
|
|
|
application to disable over-commit if swap files are in use.
|
|
|
|
|
- Implement allocation profiling and leak checking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removed features:
|
|
|
|
|
- Remove the dynamic arena rebalancing code, since thread-specific caching
|
|
|
|
|
reduces its utility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes:
|
|
|
|
|
- Modify chunk allocation to work when address space layout randomization
|
|
|
|
|
(ASLR) is in use.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix thread cleanup bugs related to TLS destruction.
|
|
|
|
|
- Handle 0-size allocation requests in posix_memalign().
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix a chunk leak. The leaked chunks were never touched, so this impacted
|
|
|
|
|
virtual memory usage, but not physical memory usage.

These snapshot releases are the simple result of incorporating Linux-specific
|
|
|
|
|
support into the FreeBSD malloc sources.
