Fix chunk_unmap() to propagate whether a chunk is dirty, and modify dirty chunk purging to record this information so it can be passed to chunk_unmap(). Since the broken version of chunk_unmap() claimed that all chunks were clean, this resulted in potential memory corruption for purging implementations that do not zero (e.g. MADV_FREE). This regression was introduced by ee41ad409a43d12900a5a3108f6c14f84e4eb0eb (Integrate whole chunks into unused dirty page purging machinery.).
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/
