Prior to 767d85061a6fb88ec977bbcd9b429a43aff391e6 (Refactor arenas array (fixes deadlock).), it was possible under some circumstances for arena_get() to trigger recreation of the arenas cache during tsd cleanup, and the arenas cache would then be leaked. In principle a similar issue could still occur as a side effect of decay-based purging, which calls arena_tdata_get(). Fix arenas_tdata_cleanup() by setting tsd->arenas_tdata_bypass to true, so that arena_tdata_get() will gracefully fail (an expected behavior) rather than recreating tsd->arena_tdata.

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/
