When statically linking jemalloc, it may be beneficial not to export its
symbols if it makes sense, which allows the compiler and the linker to do
some further optimizations.
Purge unused dirty pages in an order that first performs clean/dirty run
defragmentation, in order to mitigate available run fragmentation.
Remove the limitation that prevented purging unless at least one chunk
worth of dirty pages had accumulated in an arena. This limitation was
intended to avoid excessive purging for small applications, but the
threshold was arbitrary, and the effect of questionable utility.
Relax opt_lg_dirty_mult from 5 to 3. This compensates for increased
likelihood of allocating clean runs, given the same ratio of clean:dirty
runs, and reduces the potential for repeated purging in pathological
large malloc/free loops that push the active:dirty page ratio just over
the purge threshold.
Add the "arenas.extend" mallctl, so that it is possible to create new
arenas that are outside the set that jemalloc automatically multiplexes
threads onto.
Add the ALLOCM_ARENA() flag for {,r,d}allocm(), so that it is possible
to explicitly allocate from a particular arena.
Add the "opt.dss" mallctl, which controls the default precedence of dss
allocation relative to mmap allocation.
Add the "arena.<i>.dss" mallctl, which makes it possible to set the
default dss precedence on a per arena or global basis.
Add the "arena.<i>.purge" mallctl, which obsoletes "arenas.purge".
Add the "stats.arenas.<i>.dss" mallctl.
Mozilla build hides everything by default using visibility pragma and
unhides only explicitly listed headers. But this doesn't work on FreeBSD
because _pthread_mutex_init_calloc_cb is neither documented nor exposed
via any header.
Fix mutex acquisition order inversion for the chunks rtree and the base
mutex. Chunks rtree acquisition was introduced by the previous commit,
so this bug was short-lived.
Add a library constructor for jemalloc that initializes the allocator.
This fixes a race that could occur if threads were created by the main
thread prior to any memory allocation, followed by fork(2), and then
memory allocation in the child process.
Fix the prefork/postfork functions to acquire/release the ctl, prof, and
rtree mutexes. This fixes various fork() child process deadlocks, but
one possible deadlock remains (intentionally) unaddressed: prof
backtracing can acquire runtime library mutexes, so deadlock is still
possible if heap profiling is enabled during fork(). This deadlock is
known to be a real issue in at least the case of libgcc-based
backtracing.

mlockall(2) can cause purging via madvise(2) to fail. Fix purging code
to check whether madvise() succeeded, and base zeroed page metadata on
the result.
Reported by Olivier Lecomte.
Refactor code such that arena_mapbits_{large,small}_set() always
preserves the unzeroed flag, and manually manipulate the unzeroed flag
in the one case where it actually gets reset (in arena_chunk_purge()).
This fixes unzeroed preservation bugs in arena_run_split() and
arena_ralloc_large_grow(). These bugs caused large calloc() to return
non-zeroed memory under some circumstances.
Generalize "stats.mapped" documentation to state that all inactive
chunks are omitted, now that it is possible for mmap'ed chunks to be
omitted in addition to DSS chunks.
da99e31 removed attributes on je_memalign and je_valloc, while they didn't
have a definition in the jemalloc.h header, thus making them non-exported.
Export them again, by defining them in the jemalloc.h header.
Add the --enable-mremap option, and disable the use of mremap(2) by
default, for the same reason that freeing chunks via munmap(2) is
disabled by default on Linux: semi-permanent VM map fragmentation.
Fix chunk_recycle() to correctly compute trailsize and re-insert
trailing chunks. This fixes a major virtual memory leak.
Simplify chunk_record() to avoid dropping/re-acquiring chunks_mtx.
Simplify chunk_alloc_mmap() to no longer attempt map extension. The
extra complexity isn't warranted, because although in the success case
it saves one system call as compared to immediately falling back to
chunk_alloc_mmap_slow(), it also makes the failure case even more
expensive. This simplification removes two bugs:
- For Windows platforms, pages_unmap() wasn't being called for unaligned
mappings prior to falling back to chunk_alloc_mmap_slow(). This
caused permanent virtual memory leaks.
- For non-Windows platforms, alignment greater than chunksize caused
pages_map() to be called with size 0 when attempting map extension.
This always resulted in an mmap() error, and subsequent fallback to
chunk_alloc_mmap_slow().
If an application wants to override je_malloc_message, it is better to define
the symbol locally than to change its value in main(), which might be too late
for various reasons.
Due to je_malloc_message being initialized in util.c, statically linking
jemalloc with an application defining je_malloc_message fails due to
"multiple definition of" the symbol.
Defining it without a value (like je_malloc_conf) makes it more easily
overridable.
Further optimize arena_salloc() to only look at the binind chunk map
bits in the common case.
Add more sanity checks to arena_salloc() that detect chunk map
inconsistencies for large allocations (whether due to allocator bugs or
application bugs).
